Official Texans vs. Ravens Game Thread, 12/21/2014

Two straight out of control games by the defense. It's scary to think that there are any number of places where, in the event of a responsible draft, the defense could get a lot better.

This loss may have knocked Baltimore out of the playoffs.... Kinda sweet since we've always been their whipping boys (and minor league farm club)....

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

Watt led the team in tackles with 8 total (solo and assisted). I'm only seeing him credited with 1 sack so he's at 17.5 for the year and I believe maybe #1 in the NFL....

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

Keenum was not sacked today. Good job o-line, OB and Keenum......

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

Defense was just outstanding as chuck mentioned. Wish the chemistry could have been gelled a little earlier in the year.....

Did it hurt to say that Chuck? It was almost positive.

I ask because you just spent a whole game bashing the Texans while they led wire-to-wire with a 4th string QB over a playoff team that desperately needed the game.

No kidding, hey Texans just wanted it more than the Ravens. There's some pretty good mid to late round picks on that defense like DE Crik and CB Buoye.
And If we have any luck getting back the two 2 IRed rookies Clowney and the Notre Dame NT we should be really strong next year on defense, but I guess Jonahtan Joesph and/or Cushing will be cap casualaties next year.

Hell of a job by the coaches today. Pretty impressive stuff. To likely finish with a winning record as a 1st year HC, with this QB mess is a damn good start. Playoffs or not.

Since I apparently hate the Texans so much you guys must think it's a morgue around here when the Texans are winning. Not so. As evidence I submit a picture of my wife and son today, jubilant over another Randy Bullock field goal:

It was either the fourth or fifth, it's hard to tell at this point. But if you think that was a celebration you should have been here for the team record shattering sixth field goal from point-blank range. It was pandemonium.

Amid the merriment I could have sworn that I heard my son scream 'OUTSTANDING!'

I have no idea where he learns that sort of language.
