JJ Watt is playing out of his mind. He is having a tremendous impact on most every play.

[Big Texas]

We are playing like we belong in the playoffs. Yes, the Jags suck but we are treating them as such. Like we should.

BTW I loved the call for the wheel route to Hunt. Yes it went incomplete, but he has the potential to take that to the house on a LB 8 out of 10 times.

[popanot]

Texans are taking care of business so far, but I'm amazed that (at least at this moment) none of the tie-break scenarios are falling our way. Can we get some help here just in case? Oh to be a Houston sports fan!

[popanot]

Hoyer, how about watching the play clock and letting it run down to 4 or so seconds to burn clock rather snapping the ball at the 10~15 second mark? And OB, why the hell are we throwing the ballot ting this game in the hands of Hoyer?!!! Great, missed FG. This game isn't over yet... My goodness!

[chuck]

Watt gets absolutely molested on every play yet he is smoking these fools. That holding call on Newton really pisses me off.

[Nconroe]

Alfred Blue having quite a day, even with that 65 yd run called back. Nice to see Jalen Strong contributing as well. Other than a couple holding penalties Oline doing well.

Of course defense, Watt and Merciless doing good. Three minutes 30 seconds to go.

Maybe another long field goal?
