Stop

They didn't lose this game because of a missed FG prior to halftime.

This team sucked and was in the game for about 1 quarter.

---

Oh not intending to insinuate that. KC pulled back a ton once they got up. But we could've gone into the half down 4 instead of 10. Maybe some better effort in the 2nd half due to it being closer too. We really need a consistent kicker. Plus some DL and CBs.

34-20 Chiefs

If it's 31-23, the O/U will be a push.

It won't be

Same diff 34-20.

Harrison Butker, my FFL team salutes you!

Two quick touchdowns here and we got ourselves a game.
The Queen and the Rock make a nice pairing.

in the end...the game kind of went as expected. KC is really good. Texans have issues passing downfield. BoB still conservative.

next up: the Ravens

To add insult to injury--about the worst second half for my fantasy team with Mahomes. Texans were so ****ing terrible and so far behind, they just fed Edwards-Helaire (on my opponent's team) against our non-existent LB corps tonight.

Oh yeah!!!! Daddy won money tonight.

Nope. I bet the parlay. $100 bet won $273.

To be fair, that's probably the highest paid MLB core in the league....

Poor Texan fans... always room on the ever so crowded Cowboys fan club if you want to watch a real football team

Lol the main difference between the Texans and cowboys fans is that we realize we aren't elite but are a decent team. You guys are still living in the 90s thinking y'all have accomplished something. Texans have had more success than the cowboys since the Texans have been in the nfl.

---

Dallas: 158 wins, 5 division titles, 7 playoff appearances, 3 playoff wins
Houston: 131 wins, 6 division titles, 6 playoff appearances, 4 playoff wins

How has Houston had more success again?

Congrats for playing in a historically bad division. How bout the wins and playoff appearances? Both teams have been mediocre since 2002. To claim one has had more success than the other is dumb.

Texans no showed for the anthem and the game.

Maybe next week they can worry about playing football instead of being SJWs.

This

perhaps bad news for the NFL...tonight's game showed that the preseason is completely unnecessary.

and if the league does bring it back...only the 3rd & 4th string scrubs should play in any of the games

Win or Lose Deshaun is racking mad stacks!

Biggest concerns from game were the same concerns we have had for two years.
O-line, constant pressure on Watson
Secondary

Wide receivers did not show much and if/when fuller goes out, it's not going to be pretty.

19-10. That's how. Cowboys own the best record of all-time that can never be broken. The only franchise to ever lose to an expansion team in its game.

I was at that game. Such optimism.

In the immortal words of Bob Seger, wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.

I'll apologize on behalf of Cowboy fans... no need to trash talk after a loss. Heaven forbid we keep that crap off the football board. Nobody wants to hear it!

I watched Moneyball again the other day, it just makes me think that O'Brien tries to be Billy Beane, but the same rules don't apply to football. You can't trade away Hopkins and recreate him in the aggregate. The sum of Brandon Cooks, Randall Cobb, and David Johnson isn't equal to Hopkins and Carlos Hyde from last year. Hopkins was the guy that Watson always had to rely on. Even if completely healthy, Will Fuller isn't going to be that guy. I do not understand how O'Brien was unable to get a single 1st round pick for Hopkins, while also being saddled with Johnson's contract, and 2020 was a great draft for WR's. I have no issue trading any player if the value is there, including Watson, getting pennies on the dollar is inexcusable when you don't have to trade a guy that's under contract.

Last night was really disappointing, I was only able to watch the first half before going to bed, but that was enough.

I try to disregard the politics during my sports viewing, whether the guys want to stand or kneel for the anthem, I can deal with it. The entire team staying in the locker room is cowardly in my opinion. It feels like guys are masking their beliefs. If you have the conviction for one or the other, why do you hide it? It has nothing to do with unity, it's a cop out. Even if O'Brien kneels with the players, if he believes that's the move for him, so be it, it's better than what they did last night.

I was disappointed last night as well, but the more that comes out about the Hopkins debacle the more comfortable I am with the decision.

He was apparently acting as his own agent. He knew what he wanted to get, and I think he's justified in what he was asking for. He's now the highest paid non-QB in the league. I don't think we could have done the deal with Watson and lock up Tunsil long term while also agreeing to what Hopkins was asking for. No way they were going to replace him, but David Johnson looked damn good running the ball when we weren't two scores down. Who knows what we will get with Cooks but we'll have to see.
