Looked like a left shoulder subluxation or an AC separation on Shorts.

Thank you Atlanta for the sportsmanship. They kneeled the extra point and didn't win 49-21. Only a 48-21 final.

Last play and you don't throw it in the end zone? That speaks for itself

Bill O'Brien has some explaining to do for today's performance. I'm looking forward to his press conference in a bit. It better not be the same BS response, "We as coaches have to do a better job."

The bridge between stupid and useless is short.

Texans coach Bill O'Brien 'terrible it starts with me bad job of head coaching'
Bill O'Brien 'I got to figure it out I have to do a better job'

Does this mean Strong will suddenly practice better ?

I could use some humor after today's loss.
Getting kicked in the nuts would have been easier.
lol...with two WRs hurt...he might want to.
Do you get ignored a lot in life? Not a judgement, just a sincere question.

You caught my post while I was adding to it (or AC separation)...................but, yeh, either will have Strong making amazing practice improvements.
I bet we sign T.O. & throw him out there before Jalen Strong sees the active roster.
RIP 2015.
Again.... Colts, Jags, Miami, Tennessee.... we can be 5-3 at the bye.

Funny. I guess that would mean that Strong is on the PASSIVE roster.

Think Baby Shanny is going to be a good Head Coach one day.

I Like him as an OC, but think he needs a tad more experience before a HC.
I like Sean McDermott DC for Carolina.

At the end of the day I'm watching the sunset with my meathead boxer on town lake (f'k lady bird). It's all good.

BUENO!
There is never a Texans WR or TE wide open. It's like they all have a CB chained to them at all times. Even Hopkins can't get separation from the defenders. It's maddening because every pass someone attempts against us is either a completion followed by one of our CB's running up to tackle them from 5 yards away or a completion to a wide open, completely ignored WR, or (rarely) a ball dropped by an opposing WR because he's so shocked that he's that open.

BUENO!
Charlie Strong punished them by making them fly to Atlanta and suit up as Texans. Bob McNair thought it would be a good character building experience for them so he agreed to it.

BUENO!
That put a smile on my face. Well done!

It may not be top late. We could have an opening soon.
If they won the Superbowl this year I am sure somewhere (Miami for sure) would offer him a job.

Atlanta DT Tyson Jackson should be fined for this. Justice would be a one game suspension.

Two superbowl coaches were available when we hired BoB. Lovey and Wisenhunt.
Lovey got an interview to meet league regs and was never really given a shot.
Wisenhunt wasn't even interviewed. According to McNair, he couldn't wait for him
(because he was in the playoffs at the time, love that logic..).
Either one of those guys would have been WAY better choices than BoB. If those
guys didn't want the gig -- break the bank to buy Harbaugh away from Michigan.
BoB was the worst choice on the board, and McNair moved his chips there and went
all in...

the problem with this is that he's just saying it. I honestly think he's
to egotistical to believe it.
He's throwing out coach speak.
If I was a wagering man, I'd bet money on him actually feeling it was
the players fault.
Why do I say that? Because they're going to do the same damned crap
against the colts on Thursday.
Boring offense, lousy play calls, clueless out of position secondary play,
senseless penalties.
He's been saying he's going to "fix it" for an entire year. I see no sign
of any repair.
He keeps using that dumbass term "complementary football". Well he has it
now -- all three phases are broken.
They complement each other nicely.
42-0. I just can't wrap my head around that.
I've never seen anything like that in a modern NFL game, where for years
parity has ruled...

Lovey is currently busy running the Bucs further into the ground. Whisenhunt isn't doing anything special either.
Common denominator is Rick Smith, we should start there.
Sure that wasn't a CB, those F'ers were all over our receivers most of the game, couldn't believe some of those no calls early on. Not that it would have made a difference in the end.

Lovey took Jameis, Wisenhunt took Mariota. All of the people on here that believed we were only a QB away would disagree with you.
Those guys have a superbowl on their resume. BoB has no resume.
I will be watching the two games against the Titans with a very descriminating eye..
If we finish behind the Titans, and the Bucs end up with a better record, then the entire BoB experiment will have
been proven a waste of time..
Oh, and Rick Smith didn't suddenly "develop" a love affair with patriot players. That was BoB's doing. Just like Gary
was to blame for all of the Bronco has-beens we had early in his coaching tenure...
I do agree that Smith is not of the Morey/Lunhow caliber.

Yep. I highly doubt smith drafted a player kubes nor OB didn't want. Just like on hard knocks when it came down to Charles James and the other guy,OB said go with the length. Smith said, ok. I'm pretty sure OB wanted to draft for both lines. He basically drafted 4 lineman in his 1st draft.

Something Witty !
Explain to me tho where the flaw in that philosophy is (drafting for both lines) because I wasn't complaining at the time.
I personally feel, and I think many would agree, that you need to build in the trenches. After the draft, I thought it was a great draft, drafting the highest rated OG, highly rated blocking TE, best blocking FB, gambling on a DT with possible first round talent, etc... Again, the philosophy sounded great on paper, it was just the talent evaluation that failed (where Rick Smith I believe comes in)
But hindsight is always 20/20 but pre-draft, you probably coulnd't find a scout/GM that didn't believe XSF was a pro-ready OG. And even to defend Kubiak a bit, coming out of college who really predicted that hometown Klein product Fat Randy would be such a bad pro kicker?

He was a defensive tackle.

The flaw is you miss the better player. After 2-14, why go in with mindset of building a particular unit when you're probably bad a lot places and void of talent. Think about it, the 1st 5 players have given the team nothing. Top it off, they have 0 at qb in a qb driven league.
