Yep. He is not even close to serviceable. He made 3/4 of his throws off his back foot today. His footwork is as bad as I've ever seen in an NFL QB. He is not a passable backup and it's embarrassing we came out of training camp with him as the starter. I guess he looked good in no pass rush drills in July.

He's worse than Osweiler, which I didn't think was possible. All things considered he may be worse than that idiot the Browns ran out there a few weeks ago.

So I guess I'll just enjoy McNeck's increasing humiliation as the crowds at home grow as thin as he is and the loudest sound inside is the boos of fans insulting their own team. If he'd rather be an idiot and appease racist redneck fans than put the best possible team on the field then he gets what he deserves.

Tom Savage was brutally honest after his performance on Sunday: "Guys were open and I'm not going to give you the politically correct answer and say blah, blah, blah and we can do better. I've got to make the throws. I played like c---."

---------------------------------------------------

Realizing you stink is the first step in overcoming it. Something the Brockster had no concept of....

[chuck]

I should have mentioned that the final play, the strip-sack on Tom Statue, came over Chris Clark who was playing in the stead of Duane Brown whose being an uppity negro plainly trumps any organizational desire to win.

Another thing is that the team now believes that Deshaun actually suffered his injury in the game last week, so of course I was right all along, that the idiotic group of long time losers they assembled to masquerade as an offensive line did in fact get the single most important player in franchise history injured.

Classic Chuck.

It's bad they got rid of Brown, and Watson got hurt with a pathetic OL that included Brown.

Either way he tore his ACL in practice not in a game, no matter what whispers get reported. The idea he tore an ACL then played and practiced is just stupid. No matter how quiet he kept the injury it would have swelled up like a balloon after the game, and there would have been no hiding that. This is a non story.

At home in Seattle Brown couldn't help the Seahawks beat a fairly ordinary Redskins team today so looks like the Texans fleeced a third-rounder from the Seahawks for Brown.

Eh, it's just one game. Brown may have some rust to get rid of... I'm hoping it's the same for Savage (and doesn't he look a tad rounder these days?). Savage has looked better - he was definitely crappy today. Texans now 1-4 in games decided by 8 pts. or less...

-------------------------------------------------------

Early line on Texans vs. Rams opened at Rams by 10, then shot up to 12½ in one book..... I'm thinking Rams by 24.....

Yea rough day for Savage. He's had virtually no reps in practice with the starters since the first week of the season so no wonder he was so lousy today as he had no opportunities to develop any timing with his receivers.

Sometimes it happens like that; sometimes it does not.

But beyond that, I guess you missed the part where this isn't just another of my crackpot theories. The TEAM believes that the genesis of Watson's injury was the Seattle game.
