Official Texans vs. Cowboys Game Thread, 10/7/2018

Texans put a few plays together and score a TD. Finish it with a little pass to Coutee for 1 yard and the TD.

Texans 7, Cowboys 6

13:40 left in the half.

Fairbairn with a 20-yard FG.

Texans 10, Cowboys 6

6 minutes left in the half.

Watson is getting the ball out much quicker. And he even threw one away in the red zone. If he can do that on lost plays he and the Texans will realize their potential.

I would be very hard on any front office who couldn't come up with a better starting RB than Alfred Blue, but man is he a great backup. So solid and dependable. You know he's going to run hard, wear on a defense, pick up tough yards, block, catch the ball, and never do anything dumb. For like 5 years, every time he starts he looks better than the guy we have in front of him.

Blue is better than Miller and it is not close. Sad as that is.

What the hell ever happened to that other guy?

He really is. Miller is a high priced FA RB who doesn't like contact and makes up for it by not having game breaking speed. He's softer Blue.

Again, Blue shouldn't ever be the best RB on the team when RBs are so easy to get. You can find RBs everywhere. There are about 100 talented young RBs and we don't have any of them.

Foreman is the guy I was thinking of. He might be good. We may never know for sure.

Texans had 4th and goal from the 6-inch line with 10 seconds left... Watson can't find a receiver and gets stopped short trying to run it in.

Halftime and the score remains:

Texans 10, Cowboys 6
