    sloppy but fun. hey oh.

    Thought the Texans went away from what was working in the first. Don't know why people are dumping on watson. 1st int, he got hit threw a floater. we all agree he should have taken the easy 4 yard dump pass in front of him, which he would later do in the fourth. But that's who Watson is. Favrruh went all his career being a gunslinger. We'll see if Watson changes his ways.

    The 2nd pick, play was a screen. we've been wanting those more since they've been working lately. balls get tipped in the L.O.S bad things happen The almost 3rd pick, one he got away with that bounced off 2 defenders and almost caught by keke, watson was pummeled. Pressure came harder since losing the LG.

    In all, how did pitt win that? I looked up jags were up. =(

    That was a very strange and ****ed up yet entertaining game that thankfully we won.

    They should put that on BOB's tombstone.

    Did they struggle in short yardage situations today? Don’t recall many of them.

    I’d rather not have Watson take even more hits. When BOB stays aggressive, it’s apparently not the right move. When he goes conservative, also not the right move.

    I do want to know what sort of kicker we really have. I had no faith he would make the 54 yarder, and he did. Then he has two duds from much closer. Just frustrating.

    This. It was 4th and 10 and it looked like washington was still lining up.

    The timeout gave them a shot to win the game. A slim shot, but still.

    That was incredibly stupid of BOB to call a timeout there. I would have been pissed beyond imagination if we lost this game. Also, i'm not a negative guy but fairbairn is terribly inept when it counts. I'm not talking about percentages, I mean in crunch time when your team needs you to put up points, he can't be counted on at all.

    Also, will there ever be an official explanation for the Hopkins “fumble”?

    If the Texans score on that drive, it likely turns into a very different game.

    BOB almost lost this game with his chicken ____ cowardly playcalling at the end.

    We were lucky that we were going up against McCoy and not Rodgers or Brees because a better QB definitely gets his team in FG position to win the game.

    BOB will never learn I guess. Gotta stay aggressive.. not the best game by DW though. Almost anyone else at QB other than Colt & we probably lose. Ka’imi is so sketchy. The Defense played really well

    Just a short yardage passing game.

    This team severely misses Fuller.

    No deep threat.

    I read some stat the other day that mentioned how Watson has been passing under 240 or 260 yards per game during the run steak.

    But.....I guess we keep winning. So... There's that. Ugly... But...meh

    The cowboys, jags on the road, Broncos on the road, redskins on the road, Colts on the road are all good wins. I don’t think this team is getting as much credit as they deserve. It’s not pretty but they are getting it done.

    Alex Smith broke his tibia and fibula.

    Today is also the anniversary of Joe Theisman's broken leg vs Lawrence Taylor.

    For those say....get rid of the kicker, to go to what? There is TRASH out there. Also,one name....Randy Bullock. Young kicker...gave up on......now a reliable kicker for the Bengals. You kickers have their struggles.......they get better with time and pressure.

    I certainly want the Texans to win every game.

    But this is easily the strangest feeling I can ever remember about one of my team's during an extended streak. I should be hyped we keep winning these close games, but I watch the end of every game feeling bemused more than anything.

    I should feel much, much more excited about a 7-3 football team.

    Texans running back to back plays on their last possession ended up being the right decision. BOB coach of the year

    Watching the Texans play is like being severely constipated. It is very painful and you are really thankful when it is over.

    So true. I should be all excited, and just can't get over how horrible our offense looked. Woohoo, we won, even with 3 turnovers...LOL.
