Look on the bright side the ending of the Steelers v Bengals game will make all the national media forget about how badly the Texans played today.
We got blown out, but we didn't play badly. Our QB played poorly, but through 3 qtrs, we were beating them in just about every category, except score. I know that's the only stat that matters, but our offense played as well as KC's offense against our defense. Just like we thought they would.
Our defense was brilliant for the most part four turnovers in the first half & the Chiefs only scored 6 points on offense. Alfred Blue stepped it up, which means our OL held their own. This game was torpedoed by one man.
Bill O'Brien.
First mistake... replacing Bullock with a guy who can't consistently put the ball through the end zone.
2nd mistake... after 17 weeks of watching these guys play, he has two WRs who've shown they can't catch higher on the depth chart than two that seems like they catch every thing.
3rd mistake... while Blue stepped it up unless he was hurt during the season, that's 17 weeks with clear evidence that the run game should be centered around Johnathan Grimes & Akeem Hunt.
4th mistake... in the second meeting between our team & the KC Chiefs T. Kelce was not checked at the line once. He was allowed a free release on every snap.
5th mistake.. leaving Brian Hoyer in the game. I understand letting your QB work through things. But 3 ints & a fumble in the first half. The rest of the team working their butts off to extend their season. After that almost interception in the first drive of the 2nd half, there's no excuse for not doing what's best for the team. You start seeing quit seep in from that point forward on both sides of the ball.
