    I'm not even that upset. I mean, who didn't expect this to happen?

    Wish GM Bob was as eager to get rid of Colvin as he was Clowney. :rolleyes:
    You can even pay Colvin, like Clowney, not to play for you!

    Another clock management issue that ended up being moot, is when they were trailing 27-21 and had to punt after the sack on Watson. They let the entire clock wind down before snapping to get the punt off. Clearly wasted well over 20 seconds. Inexcusable.

    It's so basic.

    Do the math.

    If the pass is longer than 20 yards the game ENDS when the play is over.

    Haha I remember exactly what you're talking about, why the PUNTER had to make a beeline to BOB, not the HC, or ANYONE else on the coaching staff knew what to do?! Why not bring him back as the HC?!

    One of my coworkers is a Bears fan I ask him this question all the time. But it’s not just Watson, they also passed on Mahomes...

    They had a 66% to be a dynasty and they took Trubisky....

    Everyone's a winner, isn't that like 3/4 of the squares?

    If that kid isn't decked out in Stros gear by tomorrow evening, then call cps.

    Yep, the only way they win then is if the Texans tackle poorly or if the ball is caught in the endzone. Of course possible, but also harder than...I dunno...

    GIVING THEM 7 FREE YARDS.

    If those 7 yards were contested, then whatever, but we literally gave them the FG.

    People saying maybe he makes the 60+ yard kick, maybe, but it would be a lot harder and if the kick is deemed impossible by the coach they then just do a hail mary.

    I honestly didn't watch it. Just listened to the commentary. I couldn't watch. Typical ending.

    No need in sparring with a person of your brain size.
    Your probably drunk and your wife probably won’t give you any because you’re mad and drunk. Bree’s has never said he hates anyone.
    You’ll be overly emotional after every Texans game and try to take it out on anyone in your way.

    This pattern is absurd.

    Watson supermans us to a win.

    Defense and/or BOB completely flush that gifted W down the toilet.

    How can we keep doing this. It's almost harder to do this on purpose than it is on accident.

    Free yards, 0 pressure too lol

    You can see Brees even in this picture call the audible. Texans defense may as well not even lined up for this play.

    A simple dime or nickle with a safety over the top would've been just fine

    This is all true except Drew Brees does hate the **** out of gay people.

    So heartbreaking. So typical. Decent coaching and this is a great team. Sadly the albatross of BoB is just too strong to overcome.

    Hmm. Well might have had a two second run.

    In a similar vein... they should t have kicked it off out of the end zone. Sure there’s the risk of a run back but that’s still probabalistically low. Better to run clock.

    Just some of the things a better prepared coaching staff might think of.
