There were lots of reasons to be disappointed in the Seahawks 33-30 OT loss to the Titans Sunday. But the biggest problem? It sure feels like a lot of the team's same problems still exist.

There were lots of reasons to be disappointed in the Seahawks 33-30 OT loss to the Titans Sunday. But the biggest problem? It sure feels like a lot of the team's same problems still exist.

2:35 - We know Seattle's offense can make big plays. But weren't they trying to get away from going for them on just about every down?

6:59 - The Hawks' defense keeps getting beat by the same thing

10:52 - I know that Pete Carroll likes to kick. But can we get a little more aggression in important spots?

12:45 - And discipline wise, the Seahawks sure enjoyed shooting themselves in the foot

There's plenty of time left for these things to change by the end of the season. But I thought I was watching Seattle's good, bad, and the ugly from 2020 on Sunday.

How different are these #Seahawks from last year?

From Thursday afternoon's LIVE Twitch show (weekdays 1-1:30 PM CT at Twitch.TV/GallantSays): I think there's only one thing that'll get me through the Bills [probably] beating down the Patriots tonight. (1:04) Lebron James is disappointed in the media for asking him a question...that he wouldn't answer himself? (5:27) Did Lamar Jackson really use a homophobic slur online? (21:35) And the usual suspects are going to be PISSED about this story... (30:15)

94. Lebron James wants YOU to ask questions...that he won't answer

From Thursday's LIVE show on Twitch (Twitch.TV/GallantSays) & YouTube (YouTube.com/PaulGallant):

A caller at the end of my radio show suggested that I'm not fair to black athletes based on the way I've been talking about Kyrie Irving. I had thoughts...

I can't stop talking about Kyrie Irving...

C.J. Stroud out-performed one of the best QBs in the game, the Texans beat a bonafide Super Bowl contender, and Houston would be in the playoffs if the season ended today. What a Sunday in Cincy!

The Texans BIGGEST W of the season put them above .500 AND C.J. Stroud in the MVP conversation

NRG Stadium was the most alive it's ever been as C.J. Stroud, DeMeco Ryans, and the Houston Texans beat the absolute SHIT out of the Cleveland Browns. They're on to the Divisional Round for the seventh time in franchise history...but this one feels different!

IT'S FOOTBALL TIME IN HOUSTON!! | LIVE REAX to Texans 45 - 14 Playoff W!!!

It was ALMOST close. But when the second half began, the Texans got a COLD reality check in terms of how far away they are from being a TRUE Super Bowl contender. Hey, at least the future is bright! It's just hard to see that shine when you've got two black eyes from Baltimore's defense and running game. ☠

Houston Texans Therapy | Reacting to a season-ending 34 - 10 BLOWOUT in Baltimore

The Astros signed legendary second baseman Jose Altuve to a $125 M contract extension. It will keep him in town through the 2029, when he turns 39. It's more a sentimental extension than a rational one, but Houston HAD to do it (1:01 - 9:49). Next, I weighed in on a chest-beating quote by 'Stros owner Jim Crane that relates to Alex Bregman's future (9:59 - 16:14), and an annoying tweet by a prominent baseball reporter. (16:35 - 19:31). I finally gave my 2 cents on the Seahawks hiring Mike Macdonald as their next head coach (21:29 - 26:51). And to wrap things up, I've got a hot take about politicians... (27:57 - 42:26)

Jose Altuve's an Astro FOR LIFE!!! | The Seahawks hired Mike Macdonald as H.C.!

No runs, a bad night of baserunning, and another bullpen disaster has the Houston Astros now at 1-5 after a 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays. What the hell is happening? Plus, some thoughts on...women's basketball?

What the hell is wrong with the Houston Astros?

The Astros are off to a very slow start. I'm not pressing the panic button yet. But the way this team talks down to us about the struggles of certain players is driving me CRAZY. Whoever decided they should answer tough questions by referencing the "back of the baseball card" needs to be fired...and replaced by me. [for a nominal fee, of course]

The Back of the Baseball Card

Framber Valdez has always been a roller coaster, but last night was special. Was it a one time thing? Or another symptom of a problem that might need removal? Plus, thoughts on an article I read about gymnast 🐐 / Houstonian Simone Biles AND the unpopularity of Harris County judge Lina Hidalgo.

The Houston Mental Health Special!

cAn yOu beLiEvE LaReMy TuNsiL aNd StEfOn DiGgS wErEn'T aT oTaS?? (0:32 - 1:52)

But on a serious note, I talked about everything that ACTUALLY mattered at this week's Texans OTA availability. (1:52 - 19:22)

I also finally got to the Texans schedule release AND graded the always ridiculous post draft grades. (19:22 - 26:09)

Finally, I watched Harrison Butker's commencement speech since NOBODY will shut up about it. Was what he said truly as polarizing as its being made out to be? (39:47 - 1:09:14)

Everything you ACTUALLY need to know from Houston Texans OTAs | Harrison Butker's Speech

The Texans suffered the most embarrassing loss of the DeMeco Ryans era, CRUSHED by Minnesota Vikings in 34 - 7 rout.

Houston Texans are ANYTHING but Super Bowl contenders after MELTDOWN in Minnesota

The Texans are 3-1 and 2-0 in the AFC South. But today's 24 - 20 W was more frustrating than satisfying.

Texans survive SLOPPY W over Jags

Framber Valdez had rough outing, and Tarik Skubal dominated the Astros lineup. And yet...I still feel confident in Houston's chances??

Houston Astros STUNNED 3-1 by Detroit Tigers in Wild Card Opener

Perhaps I was a bit arrogant. 😅 Let's talk about why the Astros season came to such an abrupt end, and what's next.

The Houston Astros season is...over?

The Texans FINALLY beat the Patriots in Foxboro in a rare blowout victory. A W that EASILY could have been by more. How are YOU feeling about it? Impressed? Still feeling like they're getting away with being sloppy?

The Houston Texans are 5-1 for first time since '12 after BLOWING OUT Patriots

LOL, the New York Jets lost again. Why do their fans keep coming back for MORE punishment?? (1:13 - 7:49) 

The Texans have a lot to clean up by season's end, but they're 5-1. How close are they to the league's best teams (the Chiefs, Vikings, Lions, & Ravens) through 6 weeks?? (7:57 - 20:14) 

Plus, while the Texans are getting offseason acquisition DE/DT Denico Autry back from a 6 game PED suspension, they'll be losing DT Mario Edwards for 4 games after he violated the NFL's substance of abuse policy. How much will it hurt, and how exactly does that policy work? (28:50 - 38:00)

Are the Texans close to the NFL's best? Plus, Mario Edwards SUSPENDED

Yes, the Texans kept it close in spite of injury and lost at the final gun. But there's no moral Ws in the NFL. Houston lost Sunday because they were outcoached AND can't protect C.J. Stroud. A full breakdown of the Texans' 24 - 22 L in Green Bay, plus reaction to what was said after the game.

Texans DOOMED by SUS coaching & a STRUGGLING OL in L to Packers

The Texans are 6-2, just swept their only real competition in the AFC South, and have yet to lose a game in conference. But between MORE offensive inconsistency, another serious injury, and the occasional defensive lapse, you've got to wonder if this team will ever put a complete game together.

Texans SURVIVE for 23 - 20 W over Colts to SWEEP Indy!

The Texans WR tore his ACL during the third quarter of Sunday's 23-20 W. Has he played his last snap for Houston? And was the trade a failure? Plus, some thoughts on the Colts benching Anthony Richardson for Joe Flacco AND someone who hasn't been going to work of late. 

Is the Stefon Diggs era OVER for the Texans?

WOOF. A WHOLE LOT of bad in this one. Where do the Texans go from here?

Texans EMBARRASSED by Jets in Thursday Night Football

Given the recent struggles of the offensive line, shouldn't they have done more???

Houston Texans do LITTLE at NFL Trade Deadline?!?

There's lots of things to point at after yet another no show by the Texans in the second half. The offensive line, Bobby Slowik, hell even DeMeco Ryans. I mean, they were up 23-7 in a game where Jared Goff threw 5(!!!) interceptions. But this loss falls MOST at the feet of QB C.J. Stroud...

POSTGAME: CJ Stroud DOOMS Texans in EPIC collapse against Lions

There was A LOT of buzz about a PLAYERS ONLY Texans team meeting after Houston's loss to the Jets last Thursday. From the sound of things, they had another one RIGHT AFTER the loss to the Lions...and might have ANOTHER one this week. Will that FINALLY get them back on track? Plus, my thoughts on everything said after last night's loss...including DeMeco Ryans & C.J. Stroud talking about the struggles on offense, what those two had to say about the play-calling on offense, and more!

Can PLAYERS ONLY meetings SAVE the Texans season?

Texans fans have been frustrated with offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik for quite some time. On a day that the Chicago Bears fired their offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, should Houston consider the same move? Is ownership potentially thinking about it? Plus, are the misfortunes of other teams - specifically the Dallas Cowboys - making you feel better about where the Texans are? And, my week 11 NFL "Yellowstone" themed Power Tiers.

Bobby Slowik: Houston Texans FALL GUY?!?

It's always fun to beat up on the Cowboys, even if they're a disaster this season. And the Texans defense sure bullied Cooper Rush and company. But what are we to make of C.J. Stroud and Houston's offense after this game? Are they back on the right track??

Texans CRUSH Cowboys 34 - 10 | But did they SILENCE the DOUBTERS?!?

The same exact season-long mistakes keep happening. Why haven't they been corrected? And C.J. Stroud simply isn't playing as well as he can. Does ANYONE still think they're capable of living up to their pre-season expectations??

Frauds?!? Houston Texans STUNNED 32-27 by Tennessee Titans

I react to everything we've heard from the Texans after their 32-27 loss to the Titans. They're being VERY supportive of their offense, which continues to struggle. Too supportive? Plus, C.J. Stroud and company weigh in on what they can do to clean up the little things. I also sense there are a few players getting frustrated with the way the team's being covered. And, two differing thoughts on what might have been the worst moment of the game.

The Texans are REALLY defending their...offense?!?

The Houston Texans hung on for a 23-20 W against the now 10 loss Jacksonville Jaguars heading into a MUCH NEEDED bye week. I recap the game, with this question in mind: did THIS W change your mind about the Texans AT ALL? Plus, how dirty was Azeez Al-Shaair's hit on Trevor Lawrence?

A "DIRTY W?? Texans SURVIVE late Jaguars rally

DeMeco Ryans seemingly disapproved of Azeez Al-Shaair's knockout hit of Trevor Lawrence immediately after the Texans beat the Jaguars Sunday. But less than 24 hours later he seemed to change his mind. Why? Plus, more reaction to the hit from Texans and Jaguars players...

DeMeco Ryans & Houston Texans DEFEND Azeez Al-Shaair!?!
