As for the Texans, I wanted Mallett at halftime simply because I think he is the better home run threat. Hoyer is probably the better QB is you are trying to run the clock and limit mistakes but Mallett is the guy with the fastball who can get you back in a hurry (or put you further back but, at that point, what difference does it make.
While the lady ref had our back, some of the others were terrible. The non-call in the end zone just before halftime cost us four points and one punt return by KC in the first half had a Chief riding the back of a Texan for at least five yards while the return man ran right past them and no flag came out.
If we get the PI call in the end zone and then convert it, maybe then we don't go for it on 4th-and-1 in the third quarter and kick the FG. Results: The 7 points we wound up losing by.
The Chiefs were clearly the better team today however and the defensive break downs by Houston were the big difference. Romeo clearly has some more work to do.
I'm glad HBO didn't have OB mic'ed up this week or we would have watched a non-stop blue streak during the first half that even HBO might have needed to bleep. How did this man stop cursing long enough for McNair to give him the job?
BTW, thanks again Arky for the play-by-play.
