I am just going by what I know and see about Hop. I am also not alone. Hop has never created a lot of space, you are correct. However, he doesn't like to be physical which doesn't bode well with the difficulty getting off the line and increased physicalness of the corners this year, he is struggling. He's always in the refs ear. Brock has been an issue to with his ball placement and them not being on the same page.

Hop isn't going anywhere as they picked up his 5th year option, so he won't be UFA until 2018.

uh-oh, the Packers actually played a good game tonight at Philadelphia. Will be a very tough game on Sunday
tough for who? Packers will breeze to a W. Our passing game will be non-existent, and the defense will give up big plays to Rodgers

Has there been a change in the way that defenses are playing Hop? If I was a DC, I would jam Hop everytime and run bump/run coverage. Brock is incapable of "throwing him open", so all a DC needs to do is keep a defender in the area of Hop. Brock has basically proven that in tight coverage he will throw it directly to the DB 50% of the time.

Last year all of our cruddy QBs managed to put the ball in spots where only Hop could come down with it. Most professional QBs should be able to do the same.

Its tough for me to evaluate the quality of our receivers and TE right now...

Asked in the survivor league thread too, but how do Texans fans feel about the odds of GB beating Houston straight up on Sunday? I'm one of 5 left so lots of $ riding on it!

Simon out too

Think Mercilus is the only OLB they have active today.

This game will be all kinds of brutal. I can't believe spread is only 6.5.

If weather didn't play a factor, we would have been blown out.

But hey, at least BoB and Osweiler's postgame pressers were predictable

McNair said he thought Osweiler played well and he still has confidence in Osweiler as Texans QB.

McNair said he believes O'Brien has done a good job this season, especially considering Texans' injuries.

Bob McNair on Brock Osweiler 'you can't be critical of him he played well'

Bill O'Brien 'Our guys played hard, it wasn't enough'

Quote:


Brock Osweiler 'We're tired of being close. We're so close to turning the corner.'

Brock Osweiler on lack of scoring 'It's very frustrating. We can't get discouraged. There's no time to get discouraged'

Brock Osweiler 'Every single game is a playoff game moving forward'

Brock Osweiler 'I believe the NFL is all about how you bounce back from adversity. There's so much to play for'

probably looking at 8-8 now (unless the Texans can win at Tenn or at Indy).

However the division tiebreaker is solidly in favor of the Texans. 8-8 might still win the AFC South.

Tennessee still has to play the Chiefs and Broncos. The Colts still have the Raiders and Vikings.

this will go down to week 17

Honestly who gives a **** at this point? You go 9-7 and still get ****ing waxed at home by Denver or KC. You go 8-8 and probably stay home and avoid the embarrassment

The Texans suck the big one. And I agree with Mr. Bond. Who the f..k cares if they make the playoffs if they're gonna get waxed. I guess McNair and Co. care since they make more money. But I sure as hell don't.

If it weren't for TD's during prevent defense the offensive numbers would be much worse.

How Rick Smith is still employed is beyond me. Except Watt have an of his picks really payed off?

His free agency acumen is pretty pathetic as well.

Other than the 2011 season when he brought in Manning, A. Smith, and J Jo, has he gotten a FA signing right? Also, all this talk from the media about how complicated BoB's offense is , has he ever stopped to think that his guys simply aren't smart enough to figure it out?

Just get rid of everybody, I hate this team.

At first I thought it would suck, but at this point I'd be all for the Cowboys winning a SB here.

Maybe that'll be the punch in the face that makes this franchise realize it needs to clean house and start over.

That would be the silver lining but I work with too many displaced obnoxious cowboy fans that would never shut up about it so I really hope it doesn't happen.

BoB has done a decent job with what Smith has given him to work with. Keep in mind that getting Osweiller was mainly a decision made by McNair and Rick. Also, keep in mind the lack of depth we have right now is due to Rick Smith's terrible draft execution...which goes back to before BoB even got to town.

I was at the game. I was surprised how many Texans fans were there. Our offense is pathetic. The Packer fans were worried before the game because of how bad their defense is, and we made them look like all-pros.

13 weeks too late

As far as Miller's vision goes...imagine if he did have vision, he's got the physical skills. Goes to show how important vision is for a RB.

James was meant to be a special teams player. Has been forced into every down role with injuries. You can see why he's a special teams guy..

I think Miami was onto something with Miller. Miller is playing with 3 different injuries thiugh

let's check in with Lamar after 12 weeks...

225 carries for 980 rushing yards & 3 TD's. 4.0 ypc.

28 receptions for 147 yards & 1 TD.

like I posted a while back...he's been good, okay, decent, solid, and so forth. But other than the OT game vs. the Colts and maybe the games vs. the Raiders and Titans; he's been somewhat underwhelming

Miller looks like he's trying to be Leveon Bell and wait for holes to open...except they either never open or he doesn't see it so he just ends up not doing much productive

To Miller's defense he is playing behind a subpar OL.
