If only we could play the Titans and Hags every week. We do get 2 more with them.

Good to see the D as active as they were, even with the condition of the Titans OL. Mercilous had a great game, and seems to be producing when called upon.

Interesting that Rahim Moore was a healthy scratch. Good to see some accountability for shitty play.

Yep, they've proved they can still win against the Jags, Titans and Bucs of the league (though, what a shocker with the Bucs knocking off the Falcons today).

Yes, Mercilus had a good game but where has he been for the last 7 games? Nonetheless, it was good to see all those linebackers (Cushing/Bullough/Simon/Mercilus) at the top of the tackle stats....

I thought Rahim Moore was a pretty good signing back in the Spring, but he has been a disaster. When you can get a glimpse of him in the picture, he's usually trying to avoid getting his uniform dirty.... Demps, "penalty machine" Pleasant and Hal held down the fort pretty well though Mettenberger didn't go deep much......

Mercilous had 2 sacks against Jacksonville 2 weeks ago. Can you tell me what those games had in common other than bad AFC QBs? No Jadaveon Clowney. Mercilous has been far better than Clowney but isn't playing. When Mercilous has gotten snaps he's performed.

Clowney played today.

So, just get Clowney out of the lineup so Mercilus can go to town, eh? Sounds good to me!

I thought Hoyer played a lot better today than in his previous games with Texans. Likely had nothing to do with Clowney getting hurt on two chop blocks.

Mercilus plays well on the weak side and is invisible on the strong side. The braintrust plays Clowney on the weak side when he's not injured.

All of Mercilous' sacks came after Clowney got hurt. That means when Clowney is hurt Mercilous has 5.5 sacks in about 7 quarters.
