are they all about to pray together or something? jesus christ where's a meteor when you need one
Even taking out the Hail Mary, the texans put up 400 yards of offense against Indy, and that's with Brady's backups. How bad is the Indy D?
If the original Texans defended as hard as these guys, they'd be speaking Spanish from San Antonio to St Louis.
what a no-show by the Texans
what a no-show by the Texans
For those more football educated than myself... Has JJ Watt fallen off, off the juice or is just being triple teamed and the Texans D is just so bad no one is stepping up?
Just now saw the replay where Mallet got hit.
He has a responsibility to not be a jerk on the sideline, sure. But he got hit really hard... I think him bailing before the extra point might have been 'I gotta get checked out and taped up fast', and not 'I'm a petulant child'.
Wouldn't be surprised if he has a cracked rib or two.

A lot of dudes cry when they are totally drained. It's weird. Happens to wrestlers a lot. I don't think it was the weak/week 5 win @ BOB's band of buffoonsPeak Oil Can Boyd said:

He was terrible tonight. This season will likely end the absurd spending spree on D lineman. It happened a few seasons ago to RB's and I think Dline are the next shoe to drop. Not a single Dline big $$ contract is going to come close to working out this season.
It is becoming more and more evident that this is a QB, WR/Gronk and CB league. Everything else is filler.
edit: forgot Gronk
I'm not really getting it either. I mean, yeah, they were 0-2 and are now over .500 without their QB, but did anyone expect anything other than 3 wins against these AFCS stiffs?j44thor said:
I give you a serious answer, a lebowski reference and some topical humor and you hit me back with doo-wop?GeorgeCostanza said:
I'll take it.
This reminds me of some academia humor. You write an article, it gets rejected. You send it somewhere else; editor tells you it needs major revisions. you do two rounds of this. The article shows up in print. In the next issue a comment appears stating that your work is seriously flawed and then provides a litany of critiques. You look up at the sky, pump you fist and scream "YES, YES, SOMEBODY READ MY ARTICLE!"

Jesus fuck how is Houston this bad? My Dad was set on taking the Colts in his pick em league, had the Colts all the way through Thursday afternoon, I told him about Hasselbeck's illness and he asked me what chance do you give the Colts tonight, I said I dunno, < 33%, he switched the pick... he texted me 7 mins before kickoff saying I am sick to my stomach for changing the pick.. and he was dead right.
It's a road win against their most potent divisional rival (which speaks volumes about the weakness of their division). The Colts have weathered an injury to their franchise QB and are 3-2, and 3-0 in the division (including 2 road wins). Assuming Luck isn't going to be hampered all season, it's downhill sledding to the division title. That outlook would be very different if the Colts were instead tied with Houston at 2-3, with a H2H loss to boot.j44thor said:
It's not the Super Bowl, but from the Colts' perspective, last night's win was about as big as it gets this early in the season.

He said he thought the half was over.
A few things that make me wonder how football smart Mallett is. He was with Brady for years, and apparently never learned how to QB sneak and never learned both how to throw the short pass and why, if you can throw it, you don't need to throw long.
Likewise for Hoyer. Looks like he didn't pick up from Brady that either fire it at you receivers feet, or sometimes you are better off taking the sack. I know Hoyer was pretty damn good aside from 1 play, but that was a pretty big brain fart. Anyway, If I'm BOB, Hoyer is my obvious starter now
Had they really lost faith in Michael to that extent? I understand the nebulous nature of injury but was he so little thought of that they've left themselves vulnerable?

They love Rawls more than Michael. They only moved on from Michael when Jackson was released from BUF. They were also high on Rod Smith (who is currently on the PS) which made moving on from Michael easier. Michael had trouble reading blocks in the ZBS and additional reports are that he was a bit of a head case

He might feel better after he tracks down his dad and gets kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.

Hopefully he'll also take the opportunity to thank him for the gravel in his guts and the spit in his eye.
