From someone who has not been very O'Brien-friendly:

That W is a reminder why Texans have stayed with O’Brien. When it’s been good, easy to picture bigger things happening down the road.
I missed the last two Texans games because where I live if the Saints or Cowboys are playing at the same time on one of the channels our Texans are also on I do not get to see them.
With that said I have to ask a question. Has Charles Omenihu gotten much burn the last two games? I think he could be a nice pass rushing addition.
Yep, the track record would indicate that the Texans/coaches will revert back to incompetence. I am hoping beyond hope that some profound stumbling block has been erased and that everything will be positive from here.Oh just wait to see what happens if we lose to the Colts. Chiefs were the ones we didn't expect to beat and are riding high about but the Colts are the one we all WANT to beat. Honestly, if they lose to the Colts I don't think this board would forgive him unless by some miracle he goes into the Pats house and out coaches BB. You know something that no one has every really been able to do.
Thanks.If you get the NFL app on your phone or tablet, you should be able to stream the game and then cast it to your TV
Yes it would be nice to think our coaching staff would be competent for more than two games in a row.Yep, the track record would indicate that the Texans/coaches will revert back to incompetence. I am hoping beyond hope that some profound stumbling block has been erased and that everything will be positive from here.
So they mortgage two drafts, luck retires,and obrien still can't beat the colts.
Lol
I wonder if Reich is wondering when OB will call timeout? lol@GregRajan: Deshaun Watson was sacked on third down with 3:17 left.
#Texans called timeout with 2:44 left - 33 seconds wasted there - and then decided to take the safety.
Marlon Mack stopped with 2:29 left, Bill O'Brien let the clock run to the 2-minute warning.
This is his 6th season.
O'Brien could have just taken a delay of game since he was taking a safety.
Burning a timeout was pointless.
the biggest problem with ob is we start off slow every game. of course the refs played a factor today but calling run plays up the middle while losing and wasting the clock makes absolute no sense. I wish we could let him go mid season but we’re invested and can’t scrap a playbook just because we lost by 7 points which we should have had. we’re going to look good again, but don’t trust this team with Ob. Great coaches wouldn’t allow the refs to slow them down. We need better scripted plays and screens and such. Hate we lost but we move on with our heads high.
If the TD to Hopkins counts, we most likely win. I couldn't believe they said that wasn't a touch down and that they blew the play dead. And it didn't even prevent the hit on Watson. Early in the game it seemed like every time we made a big play, the refs threw a flag. It may not of been us against the refs, but it sure felt like it at times.Without the refs help the Colts dont win.
Very simple, even with Watson having a bad game.
Based on his 4 solo tackles and 1 sack through seven games? Explain the logic of your score.If O'Brien hasn't gotten rid of clowney for culture they probably beat the colts 23-22

Watson doesn’t have a bad game if the refs doesn’t blow it dead. He probably wouldn’t have had 2 picks. Maybe 1 but not 2. Ob doesn’t have a counter to cover 4 defense but this lost shouldn’t be blamed on him. This was everyone including Watson. We take it, live with it and can only hope he gets better. No one came into this game predicting fuller would leave early and the refs taking a td away. Like you said if the refs doesn’t screw us, everyone is happy here but not the case today. The forum shouldn’t blow up and we can expect the same results vs the patriots a couple weeks down the line
Coaching counts.
Look at the Saints - without Brees, without Kamara and without Jared Cook and they dominate the Bears on the road.
They look sharp, unlike the Texans today.
They had better QB play today.
Due to coaching
At some point the QB has to take responsibility for his mistakes.
That will never be the case for all of the Jesusincleats apologists around here.
Watson's a young inconsistent QB who had a bad game today and that had nothing to do with coaching.
Calling run plays on both drives in the last 3:30 seconds of the game is bad coaching.
When Watson has a losing season, you can make the argument about being inconsistent but that hasn’t happened yet.
Watson’s saving Ob job just like Brady at one point. As far as Ob, his team never starts off hot. These guys seem to not play with a sense of urgency until the 2nd half.
I didn’t put half the blame on him today but his conservative play calling didn’t help Deshaun at all. You have a qb that’s a winner. You don’t take the ball out his hands. He has a problem with that.

Per the folks at EdjSports, where I do some work and am privvy to some information, here’s what the splits look like on that fourth-and-9 play.
–Decision to punt puts the game-winning chance at 7.5%.
–Decision to go for it puts the game-winning chance at 14.5%
–Decision to take a safety puts the game-winning chance at 4.3%.

Down 5 with 2:41 left on fourth down inside his own 10, Bill O’Brien used one of his 3 timeouts so that his team could....... take an intentional safety. This actually happened.
So they mortgage two drafts, luck retires,and obrien still can't beat the colts.
Lol

Clowney would be playing better here. His role was more important to our defense than over there in Seattle.
Bill O'Brien chokes up in big time games like this.
The Colts have the better coach. Dude didn't even flinch when Luck retired. He adapted and his team might win this division easily.
Let something happen to Watson and watch how the season unfolds.
