Roughing the passer in the NFL really is overtly racist. I get when running QBs don't get calls in running or semi-running situations. But Watson just sat in the pocket and got drilled in the face. I've seen that exact call half a dozen times this year. I saw that call repeatedly last year before the new emphasis. Watson gets drilled on calls that white QBs routinely get, and it's disappointing to see. It's full Cam Newton treatment.

For the second straight week, O'Brien matched wits with a more witless head coach than him. Burning TOs, strange playcalling… but Garrett's decision to punt on 4th and short in Texans territory in OT was not 'playing to win the game'. That said, I could exceed the character limit detailing all of O'Brien' questionable decisions in this game. |

I agree on O'Brien. He's been slightly smarter than the opposing dummy 2 straight weeks. As for the Cowboys punt, that's a good decision. Their offense was atrocious all game. Our offense failed to score TDs while theirs just failed. If you convert and get another first down you are in FG range and not much has changed. We still get the ball with a chance to tie or win. If you don't convert you are completely giving away the game. By punting they put us on the 10 yard line with 4 minutes left and they have 2 timeouts. Punting and getting a stop gives you more than enough time to win. |

Love beating the Cowboys....
----------------------------------------------- Obviously, something needs to be done about the red zone execution. Texans were 1/6 in the red zone. Why is it always a run up the middle or a pass into high traffic? Run off tackle, pitch out, roll-out - many unused options..... ----------------------------------------------- Some extreme adjustments need to be taken to keep Watson alive for the rest of the season. He'll never make it at this rate.... ----------------------------------------------- I'm seeing an early line of the Texans favored by 8˝ to 10 pt favorite over the Bills next week which is just silly. Every Texan game so far has been decided by 7 pts or less..... |

First blush, the OL wasn't bad, but I wouldn't say they were good, either. Some credit is owed to the Cowboys defense... they aren't bad. But the Texans seem to be increasing the shotgun snaps and deep drops in recognition of their subpar OL pass pro. Could be helping Watson improve his pocket vision as well. Regardless, I think it is contributing to the redzone offensive woes, kinda like the Oilers back in the red gun/run n' shoot days.

Wow talk about coming back from the dead.
After that 0-3 start I figured that was it for 2018, but now after two straight wins and the rest of the division losing yesterday we are now just a game out of the division lead. So expectations for a Super Bowl appearance now ? Hardly but atleast we've got something to play for in the upcoming weeks. |
