At work we have to pick 6 winners each week. For underdogs it's worth quite a bit more if they win obviously. Houston is +17 this week. It's absurd to pick them, right?

And of course I got nervous last night and changed it.

What happened to cause that flag to come out so ridiculously late?

This is the Texans I'm used to seeing…

Undisciplined and poorly coached.

The Texans manage to hold on and get the L.

There was no excuse for not declining that penalty with 1:52 left. They did us a favor running it into the endzone. Then you have nearly two minutes to tie the game with a touchdown.

Still don't understand the "roughing the passer" penalty. That was the nail in the coffin for the Texans and just a terrible and soft call. 300 lb guy running full speed and bumps the QBs chest without him leaving his feet. Rule sucks.

The flag came way after the fact to. We didn't get a replay inside.

Coach Placeholder said something along the lines of "they threw the ball earlier so we thought they might throw it again"

My thoughts on the game:

  • Andrew Roberts should not be on the team
  • Tim Kelly's playcalling was great the 1st half, fell way way off in the second
  • I am tired of watching Mark Ingram run into lineman for a yard every other play
  • Defense is a good bend but not break defense
  • Howard needs to move back to RT
  • Mills went toe to toe with a 1st round rookie and showed improvement taking care of the ball from last week
  • Culley is learning how to be a head coach. I said the same thing about BoB, but BoB's arrogance never allowed him to learn clock management/situational coaching. Hoping Culley can learn these things.
  • Team is not good, but they are not awful. Outside of the Bills, they've competed in every game.

This I do not understand.

I mean it sucks for Taylor (who seems to be the most unlucky player in the NFL), but we might as well ride out the season with the rookie.

The season is (and should be) a lost cause.

Wonder if Tunsil going out now has any correlation to the trade deadline.

Like hey let's go ahead and get his surgery now so we can trade him.

It's Friday and I have no idea who the texans are playing this weekend. I have never cared less about a home town team

Not sure why but I think they could actually win this weekend.

Am I the only one that thinks they have a chance? Or are they just going for draft positioning now?

They have a chance, but they need to keep losing. They've got to be able to get into the next Jacksonville game with a bad enough record to challenge for the #1 pick.

The Colts suck, but they are activating TY Hilton today, which guarantees he'll have 5 catches for 150 yards and 2 TDs.

Jax somehow pulled out a win just now. Pretty brilliant move with 5 secs on 4th to get barely enough for FG

Wow Jacksonville just beat Miami in Jolly Old London town. The Texans can now force Jacksonville to win 2 games.

Just a bunch of dinks and dunks for Mills? 14-18 looks good until you see it's only 108 yards

Miami made history in that game by challenging 2 calls in a 3 play span and losing both of them.

I was impressed that they essentially had Miami convinced they were going for the Hail Mary even though they had one timeout left. Guess it made up for Urbans dumb decision to not take points earlier. There was also an opposite of Smalls FG, where it was outside the right posts the entire way until the end. Miami was convinced it had missed.

Really wish we'd move away from the play where we hand off to Ingram and he runs into his lineman's back.

I tried to watch but it's just too ugly and boring.

Still amazes me how quickly the Texans destroyed their team by being idiots.

The team was destroyed because a man trying to get fired was given the keys.

Was BoB actually trying to get fired or is he too arrogant to admit that he's a terrible top-down control guy?
