**Official Game-Day Thread** Dolphins at Texans, Thursday Oct 25, 2018!!

[Thorn]

How sweet it is!

 

[ATXtexanfan]

Has OB realized scoring more points than your opponent is a good thing???

 

[TxnsJuggernaut]

I do hope we get our pass rush back against the Broncos.

 

[Texansballer74]

Watson has more Tds than uncompleted passes.

Youngster is on his game tonight.

And big time credit to Bill O'Brien for calling a magnificent game plan.

Props to that offensive line.

Major creds to Lamar Miller and somewhat Blue

 

[gafftop]

Damn they look good. No turtle today. Hope BOB remembers this. Would not be bad idea to put Weeden in again.

 

[welsh texan]

I don't think this offense has it in it to score 5 TDs. Under the right circumstances, I could see them getting 4.

Had a good feeling about tonight as soon as I read this. Thanks Thorn!

 

[MEGA SWATT]

When our offense plays like this it is a lot like how the Chiefs offense has looked this season.

Also similar in that they both seem to lose to the Pats:kubepalm::kubepalm:

 

[beerlover]

At what cost? Fuller out. Joseph out. Cunningham out. kJ out. Just when you think it’s safe

Absolutely. O'Brien's shitheadity has been kept to a minimum. If he keeps shoring it up and we can do this against an actually-good franchise or two, I might start to think things are changing.

I would rather have DW than Mahomes. Arm's not as strong but he's smarter and I like his character. He's finally getting over the that ACL. Playing with a collapsed lung, bad ribs, etc, that ain't nuthin to him. He's gonna be a piece of work if we can keep him upright.

 

[PapaL]

Sunday to Thursday is too short of a time. These games need to go.

 

[Jadmakaveli]

I’m all for taking the starters out.

This will never happen

I agree - 5 minutes left

I would take Watson, too. I'm sure this has been mentioned, but I just realized that Watson is but 3 days older than Mahomes.

158.7 passer rating

I get the feeling that Ob has been feeling the offense out. Whatever made him flip the switch I know we are all thrilled to see it!

 

[Texansballer74]

Oh we're having fun now. Never seen them do a hard count to draw the defense off sides. Bwhahaha

 

[TheMatrix31]

I could buy this if this was O'Brien's first year.

It's his fifth.

 

[dream_team]

Don’t think he got his left foot down

Did they really challenge that. Bwhahaha come on Miami

 

[OptimisticTexan]

I'm getting tired.

Mahomes is the reason the top pick in this years draft transferred.

Hard to talk bad about mahomes. Dude we need Mahomes and Watson to be new Brady vs peyton

Would be sweet

The way Fuller came down on his knee, he could have actually suffered an ACL tear. Other injuries you have to think of with this type of direct trauma would include bone bruise, patellar fracture, meniscus tear, and even tibial plateau fracture.

 

[TxnsJuggernaut]

A lot of teams who looked like world beaters have had the Pats stop them.

 

[Texansballer74]

Please put Weeden in the game

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Kalambayi has been concussed.

Do you ever think... maybe I shouldn’t give my thoughts to ruin the win.

No no no!

Most of which left him with some very incompetent Qb play.

 

[ATXtexanfan]

That's why he sucks. Blowing games early means playoff position later. Not an attack on you but what the hell was he doing first 3 weeks. Setting his team up for trips to NE and KC?

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Clowney looks like he re-injured his elbow.

 

[Texansballer74]

Do you ever think... maybe I shouldn’t give my thoughts to ruin the win.

Don't worry they said he's fine

 

[MEGA SWATT]

Earl Campbell!!!

Houston Royalty!!!!

 

[Thorn]

Five in a row is impressive. Glad to see some real life in these guys. We all knew Watson could do this, and I'm relieved as hell to see him getting it back together.

 

[EVOLVIST]

...and maybe his knee just smarts a little. Nothing a little Bengay won't fix.

 

[MEGA SWATT]

5-3

5 game win streak!!!!!!

 

[amazing80]

Most impressive win this year, great to see the improvements.

 

[thunderkyss]

42

 

[NastyNate]

I used to want to fire Bill Obrien. I mean, I still want to fire him, but I used to want to fire him as well.

 

[TheMatrix31]

Just like all those blown games in 2014. And then you have losers all over and Troy Aikman tonight fellating him for getting the team back to 9-7 after a 2-14 2013, not realizing that bouncing back to 9-7 was always the clear result and that the 2013 was not nearly as bad as the record indicated.

But in came Bill O'Brien and we blew like 4 or 5 games in 2014 directly due to his shittiness.

 

[NitroGSXR]

How about our o-line!?!?

 

[NastyNate]

Please don't start the "Do any of you owe Obrien and apology?" thread.

 

[TheMatrix31]

Most of which left him with some very incompetent Qb play.

The quarterback situation throughout his tenure was of his choosing. He chose to keep Ryan Fitzpatrick. We didn't trade up for Derek Carr or Bridgewater or Garoppolo. He wanted Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallett. He wanted Tom Savage. His terrible coaching put Brock Osweiler in an impossible situation to succeed.

Then he was given Watson and he still insisted on Savage and it was only until a complete embarrassment in Week 1 last year for him to throw Watson in at halftime. Then he hamstrung Watson even in the midst of Watson's dominance by not trusting him to beat the Seahawks and the Patriots.

He's not some innocent outsider to the results of this team.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Do you ever think... maybe I shouldn’t give my thoughts to ruin the win.

No, it never crossed my mind. Of course if the thought police are so sensitive and want to make my input selective or at "convenient times," let them delete them and send me to Siberia.

 

[Scooter]

I know it's the spiraling Dolphins (seems to be a theme), but that may be the most complete game we've played thus far. Big plays, grind plays, play-action to release tightends, motion to give Watson time in the pocket, backside cut blocks, containing the middle of the field ... even overcoming the referees*. And Hopkins just isn't fair.

*Didn't at all seem like the refs were against us, they were a level of terrible that I've never seen before - we just happened to get the worse of the calls.

 

[TexansFight]

Very nice win. Props to the entire team for the victory. Even coach O’Brien

Using the tight ends in the red zone was the best part of this game. Like holy cow. What the **** took so long.

Or maybe they were doing the Drawer Test just for the heck of it.
