Death to Google Ads! Texans Talk Tip Jar! 🍺😎👍
Thanks for your support!
I can't believe Atlanta scored 2 points. Wow. Their fans are going to go into full meltdown. Two years in the playoffs and two losses.
Mike Smith going for it on 4th down twice when they could have had points is just bad coaching. Kicking the FG on the 2nd one would have made it a 5 point game at that point.
I think the sad thing is that the Falcons redesigned their offense to be explosive for the playoffs
yet
they were anything but.
Matt Ryan has been overhyped a tad bit. He was missing his WRs all day today, and he did vs. Texans too. In fact, this whole season except maybe 1 or 2 great games...he has failed his WRs consistently.
That offense should be built around the running game and they keep trying to be a no huddle passing team, and their defense is not good vs good teams.
"a bit"? You're being kind, GP.
He's a decent QB. All of this "elite" (as John Clayton called him) or even borderline elite or 'second tier' is giving him too much praise.
I laughed when - at the end of the half - Buck says, "Now Matt Ryan gets to show off his arm strength" as the ball falls about 7 yards shy of the end zone. No chance with his arm.
His arm is not that strong and he's not really that accurate. And that gets much worse the farther the throw. Dilfer had a comment and comparison today about how much worse Ryan is throwing long vs. Tebow.
You mentioned Jones - two of the highlight TD receptions on "long" throws by Ryan were terribly underthrown and Jones had to come back for it.
He can be efficient and he can make good decisions - but the "elite" talk is, at the very best, premature.
if i saw it correctly last week, ryan is the worst long ball starting quarterback in the league - completing something like 25% of his passes over 20 yards. that stat alone makes the trade up for jones more ludicrous, as if it werent already insane to trade that many picks for a receiver.
separately - mike smith may be out. playoffs or not, it's hard to imagine a coach failing so badly on so many short yardage situations. for as bland as we've been, the texans have been consistently strong finishing short yardage.
I believe that David Carr has already won a super bowl. He was on the 2008 NYGiant team that beat the Pats.
Then I am looking at the wrong year - it was the 2007 New York Giants that went to the 2008 Super Bowl ??
