[Nconroe]

True, but last year defense had 29 turnovers, this year only 11.

But opponents have made a lot of points off Texans turnovers for sure.

[chuck]

The team's lack of defensive playmakers especially in the secondary is at least as big a problem as the quarterback situation.

[BigBull]

McCain still sucks. Pass interference on team other than the Texans I'm in shock.

[WMH]

Eli is out, Nassib is in.

Maybe thrown a bit behind him, but Schaub's pass still went right thru Giffin's hands. Matt can't catch it for him.

[BigBull]

Watching this game is making me sick. I mean this will be 14 straight weeks of total trash. Hopefully next season with a new hc and qb will be better.
