The way we were getting so much pressure on Luck and with him bouncing many of his passes on the ground in front of his receivers that he did manage to launch or his receivers dropping balls, I really did not think he'd mount a successful comeback last night given how far his team was down mid way thru the second half, but he did and they did and the Texans folded like a cheap suit in the fourth quarter and lost another one to leave them at 2-6 midway thru the season as compared to last years 7-1. So if you hadn't done so yet, now you can stick a fork in us.
Looking at the stat sheet this morning, I see that Shiloh Keo led the team in tackles, so pretty sure we won't be needing that future HOF safety anymore who seems to be most productive when it comes to giving interviews to the media. And I think we are still solid at WR for another year or so with the kind of game Andre Johnson had and who's also supported by some promising young receivers like Hopkins and Posey. And the Oline played quite well as we only gave up a single sack while Duane Brown shutout league leading-sacker Mathis and we did move the ball on the ground with some success.
And like in KC, Case exceeded the most optimistic expectations fans had for him in this game. Is he our QB for the future ? I dunno, could be ?
