Official Texans vs. Panthers Game Thread, 9/29/2019

[Arky]

I think the only thing worse than losing to a beatable Carolina team at home would be losing to the Raiders or Browns at home. A very contrary day around the NFL......

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

The running game is fine. 22 rushes, 136 yards, 6.2 avg.

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

OTOH, the passing game was only good for 160 yards, subtract 32 yards in sacks and it gives a net of 128 yards. Pretty pathetic by modern NFL standards..........

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

Before the season started, I was thinking I'd take a split with the Panthers and Falcons coming in back-to-back. Lately, I was thinking maybe 2-0. Eheh. Beating the Falcons is now mandatory.....

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

I'm not going to go into the coaching and QB problems. I think everyone can see the dysfunction for themselves..... I get so tired of hearing "we got to do better". (Well, then do better, a--hole! Get better or you will be looking for another job!)

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

Next up, Atlanta Falcons. Early line has the Texans as a 3½ to 4 pt. favorite over the Falcons....

What a terrible game. The OL goes back to being awful and Watson looks lost in the pocket multiple times while running into rushers who are behind him. No downfield passing game, and multiple times losing track of their one offensive weapon. A free home win given away.

A very contrary day around the NFL......

If misery loves company, 11 of the 13 road teams this week were winners so far. For what the fans pay for NFL tickets, there are a lot of pissed off season ticket holders around the league.

BTW, Texans are still tied for first in the division at 2-2 with... the entire division. The AFC South defines mediocrity or mendacity, choose your adjective.

A lot of injured quarterbacks in this league (which means another round of candy-assed "protect the quarterback" rules next year) so the Texans could benefit if they can somehow keep Watson healthy. Then again, Texans are 1-1 against backup quarterbacks so far.

I believe I'd rather go to church than watch this bullshit.

We'll be happy to have you, Chuck. Just hold down the swearing. We have some elderly folks with heart conditions.

I think he's a decent offensive coach who got the most out of bad QBs. But we now have a QB who doesn't really function in the system. I don't think we need an offensive HC since Watson is going to Watson no matter what. He's shown little growth under BOB and still runs into awful plays on one down before making the whole league look foolish on the next down. And neither have much to do with BOB so what exactly is his function?

If our system and offensive staff are superfluous, then I'd prefer a defensive HC and a guy who can manage a game (challenges, clock, timeouts, not calling idiotic trick plays near the endzone). Or find an offensive guy who speaks Watson and can harness his gunslinging nature and get him to pick and choose when he goes off script.

So fire BOB.

Are you looking for Jerry Glanville, he called the Stagger Lee, dumbest call ever in a game, and he reminds me of BOB, a head coach that is in the way of his talent.

I hate slow smash mouth football, OK Earl Campbell exception to that. Spread them out, and run the ball, and Wear them out. Bill seems to outsmart himself, over and over.
