This is funny.

You know, this is one hell of a Jekyll and Hyde team. They looked like dogshit last week. Looked like dogshit in the first half today.

The second half was pretty sublime. The pass protection was amazing. I don't know that I have ever entertained that thought while watching a Texans offense. The secondary has a lot of problems and are going to give up a lot of points this year, but they made plays when they had to. The front six/seven was really good. Their RB has been torching teams and he didn't do much today. Tons of pressure on Rivers. Just a really, really strong effort.

I hope that BOB eventually learns that Deshaun can just sling the ball around and good things happen. He'll throw some picks, sure. He'll do some dumb shit, sure. He'll ignore his checkdown a lot of the time, sure. That early turnover was one of the most idiotic plays I have ever seen. He had Stills standing there alone on the other side of the field but he seemed to have no idea. So, you know, he threw the ball backwards into the ground, like you do.

You never know what you're going to get with these goons. Despite their many and evident problems they are absolutely capable of beating any team in the league. They are also capable of losing to most any team in the league. Try as they might, I don't see how they could lose to the Dolphins.
