Thanks for your support!
Meh, not quite there yet.NOW WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE
No more kidding around, wishful thinking, hope, wait till next time, no more rebuilding, no more "had a bad game," no more anything.
WE ARE A LOUSY TEAM, POORLY COACHED, DESTINED FOR THE TRASH HEAP.
Let's hope that ownership finally gets a clue and fires O'Brien and starts a search RIGHT NOW for a new coach to take over in 2020.
We must cut off the head of this pathetic excuse for a football team, and we must do it immediately. Delay just means more of the painful same. Let Romeo oversee the remainder of the year.
Do it now.
No, but a pattern of a poorly prepared team... does expose bad coaching....Meh, not quite there yet.
This team still has plenty room for improvement.
Just like one good game does not a good team make, one bad game does not a bad team make.
It’s especially too much for Tunsil if the Texans still have a QB problem.I dont need to recap the game, most of you saw it.
Here are my takeaways
1.) As always Texans fans are gracious hosts. You guys really are a great fanbase and if it were not for the Ravens, I would be sitting here losing my **** with you. I appreciate teh hospitality from ALL of you.
2.) I am glad there are no really serious injuries and that DW4 is ok after that hit, and I hope your secondary men recover well.
3.) My only jab. I think you guys gave up Waaaaaaaaaaaay to much for Tunsil. He was frequently getting abused by a rookie. to give up 2 1sts and a 2nd, that is steep for a decent but not great tackle.
In any event a game like this there is no point in assigning blame, when you lose like that everyone is culpable. That said, it is how you respond. We got blown out by the Browns, but we bounced back. If you look at the two teams trajectories after that I dont think many would argue that the Browns beat the Ravens now. If you guys beat Indy and the Pats then you are now the second seed and in good shape.
The O'Brian coached Texans have lost 9 games by 20 points or more.
The game today was the second worst beating the Texans have taken in the O'Brian era.

There in no excuse for a team to come out of the bye looking this flat. We could barely score in garbage time. To quote Jed Clampett "pitiful...just pitiful".
My Take away's?
Watson tried to be a hero instead of letting the game come to him and it totally backfired. It can serve as a long term win IF he humbles himself and truly learns from it.
The Refs had big money on the Ravens. I've never seen a worse officiated game against the Texans - just terrible. And the worst was the obvious PI. It's one thing to blow it on the field and quite another for replay to blow it. Terrible. With that said, the Texans lose either way.
OB sucks as a HC and OC. Terrible game plan, and no real adjustments to be seen. The jury is out on his GM role, but he needs an apple and a road map and has for a long time.
Yes.I ask this seriously, is there a single positive to take away from this game?
No way.He would be a great janitor. I wonder if the Texan have an opening?
I must say though, that when a team isn't prepare to handle the blitzes with 2 weeks of preparation, it should be on the coaches.again I saw a well put together and coached OL it just wasn't ours
Lonnie got away with a PI early in the game, and the Ravens missed the FG.No we didn't lose b/c of that, and I agree with you overall, but that call kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth b/c it most certainly would've led to 7 and the game plays out a little differently. We might've still lost, but perhaps the performance isn't as pathetic...& Baltimore is in a different position than they've been...…..behind....really all season.
My whole thing about that call is, If there was ever a precedent to reverse, that was it. & what makes me more angry is that Lonnie Johnson Jr. was called for PI on a much less egregious infraction later in the game. I mean why even have that as an challengeable option if you're not going to overturn even the most obvious of calls............….or non-calls in this situation. It just looks bad for the league.

Their fans could have been easily upset just the same.
Just saying.
I dont believe we are done giving up for him either....the man will be looking to get paid soon... with how much that was paid up front for him without even securing the future.....1. The win over the Jags is even less impressive now.
2. We gave up way too much for Tunsil.
Tunsil expected a beat-down?Tweet from @riversmccown: Laremy Tunsil on how shocked he was by the game: "Sounds like y'all are shocked more than us."

Before today and before his injury, he was among the top 3 LTs in pass blocking. He was playing elite. Remember he was questionable today. He’s still not 100% and Watson did not help his boys today. Played too much hero ball on the first half.That's if he even wants to stay here...I just don't see him as an "elite" left tackle.

Colts last year.I Did think of ONE good take away for the day.
In the unlikely event that the Texans face tge Ravens in the playoffs... I like our chances better now. (For some reason I worry when we beat a team in regular season and then face them in the playoffs....unless they are the Bengals.)
Either it is my distrust of the Texans ability to be consistent and do it twice... or...I like rooting for the underdog.... it makes me nervous.
IF there is a next time... maybe they remember this loss.
The only other upside would be if OB got left in Baltimore... but I gave up hope that he would ever leave.
Sums up the day lol
No, but a pattern of a poorly prepared team... does expose bad coaching....
I agree, one bad game against a good team isnt a big deal... when its the constant theme... the excuses need to stop.
Every year we have 3-4 games like this and every year we get rocked in the playoffs. OB has shown you who he is but you just aren’t paying attention.How many bad games like this one have they had in the last 2 yrs.
And I was far more worried about getting past the Colts last season than I would have been facing KC.Colts last year.
Beat down followed by a playoff beatdown.
I see what you sayin, but .....
I must say though, that when a team isn't prepare to handle the blitzes with 2 weeks of preparation, it should be on the coaches.
Especially when it happens again and again.
Especially after the numerous times they all said they will correct it.
My only takeaway is this will continue to happen until somone takes BOB away from this franchise.
We are losing the next 2 as well.
What I saw was a young QB who Harbaugh's DC forced Waston to stay in the pocket and Watson was terrible from the pocket. Those Fumble and Int were ridiculious and you're never going to beat a team like the Ravens with those kinds of mistakes. He ran into 3 sacks in the 1st half alone including the fumble. Watson has below avg accuracy from the pocket. This hasn't improved at all in 3 yrs and I'm beginning to wonder if he will ever learn to step up into the pocket and take a hit while still being able to deliver an accurate ball and be able to consistently do this against playoff level defenses like the one he saw today for 3 games in a row.
I've said this before and so far nothing has happened to change my mind. BOB needed to shorten the game by sticking with the run game and take a few shots down the field today like he did last yr with Watson if other teams are going to make Watson stay in the pocket.
Well, depends on what you are looking for.How many bad games like this one have they had in the last 2 yrs.
Jesus Christ this fan base is as up and down as the Texans themselves. Before Tunsil went down people were talking about how he was worth the price and now Watson is finally protected etc. He comes back after injury and is still not 100% and he is overrated and over priced.
BoB calls a damn near perfect game against the Jags and now we are ready for the big leagues. Calls a dud against the Ravens and it's all how we are the worst team in the NFL with the worst HC. By the way, Browns say hi.
Watson is having a, mostly, career season and literally has one game go into the HoF and he is jesusincleats and the saviour of Houston football. He craps the bed and let's the pressure get to him and now its do we need a new QB.
I get it, it's frustrating to see the team so white hot and then sub-zero cold but let's not blow it out of proportion here. Maybe we do need a new HC and, hell, maybe we even need a new QB but the season still isnt over and the sky isnt falling. Lot of football left to play.
I dont know maybe I'm just not as upset because Ravens are my number two or maybe I just dont care as much but lot of this seems overblown.
Jesus Christ this fan base is as up and down as the Texans themselves.
Great Point! Besides... as up and down as the Texans are, why shouldn't the fans be the same way.You do understand you're talking about two groups of people right?
The people saying we gave up too much for Tunsil today are the same people saying we gave up too much for Tunsil the day of the trade. They are not the people touting the good season he'd been having.
The people saying Watson sucks are not the same people who were planning his MVP ccampaign last week. Theses people have been sitting & waiting to pounce.
Now... BO'bs play calling, I don't think his fans who were praising him are the people criticizing him. People wait until the opportune time to comment.
Great Point! Besides... as up and down as the Texans are, why shouldn't the fans be the same way.
A thread with over 7,300 posts about it isn’t enough?I am just here to see how many ways people say Bill O'Brien should be fired.
