**Official Game-Day Thread** Texans at Rams, Sunday Nov 12, 2017!!

The Houston Rockets have a 12-point lead at halftime against the Indiana Pacers on the road. They are trying to improve to 11-3 on the young season which would be the best record in the Western Conference. We can still tune into the second half. Today's sports Sunday doesn't have to be a total waste.
 
O’Brien on defense’s performance: We weren’t doing anything offensively. Hard to be on the field that long. #TexansGameday

People keep saying the Texans may beat the 49ers on December 10. They will have Jimmy Garoppolo starting at quarterback and he will tear apart our weak secondary. He makes his debut against the Seahawks in a few weeks following a bye week. And both teams may have 3 wins apiece by then. The 49ers just won their first game of the season today against the Giants.

I'm not sure there's any team in the NFL we can beat right now with Tom Savage starting at quarterback. Maybe the Giants and Browns, but we won't play the Giants and we've already beaten the Browns with Deshaun Watson having a big game as usual.

Unless we sign Colin Kaepernick or start T.J. Yates, I think we'll go 3-13 this season if we ride out the year with Tom Savage. That would make the Cleveland Browns very happy. As they could potentially have the #1 and #3 overall picks in the draft. #33 and #35 overall as well in round two. I think the Giants will likely finish 2-14 to get the #2 overall pick. But I could see the 49ers finishing 4-12 and the Texans 3-13. By the way, I've got the Browns finishing 0-16 or 1-15.

I've stopped listening to his pressers. If I want to know what he said I just think about the last press conference I heard from him.

Tom Savage behind the line we have is better known as Mister Turnover. He cursed his performance last week. Today he was even worse. A common way to measure quarterback efficiency is to compare interceptions to touchdowns. With Mister Turnover, it's better to compare his turnovers to team points. That came out pretty even today.

It surprised me after the game was out of reach why OB didn't take a look at Braxton Miller at QB. Or one of the others. Mr. Turnover is surely not the answer.

I also wondered where the safety was on that play.

They were I man coverage, the safety had his own responsibility. Jjo got turned around & I really don't understand it. I didn't see the receiver even fake an outside move. He cut in on a skinny post, Jjo broke outside & had to turn all the way around to get back to the middle of the field, that's why he was so far behind.
 
I haven't read the whole thread so I don't know if it has been mentioned, but the clear interference with Ellington at the goal line that was called defensive holding cost Houston, not the game, but the halftime lead.

Smart play by the defender. They made us work for it and Savage came up short.

That big pass play from deep in Rams territory for a TD took place where there was a clear offensive holding call that should have been called but was not. That seemed to be the play that killed us and our chance to win. I know that does not change the fact that the coverage was busted but just the same not calling that obvious holding allowed the play that took the life out of our team in what was a close contest. To me that was the straw that broke the camels back.

Neither of those non-calls cost the game. The opponent would have worn us down anyway. Maybe the non-call for holding was, like the lack of the interference call, a buldud—an intentional miscall—on the part of the official.

So you're saying the game was rigged?

More than likely just one zebra who likes the Rams or hates the Texans, or didn't want to anger the home crowd. The interference was seen because it was called holding, and it was so obvious that it had to be dishonest calling.

I am not so sure the opponent would have worn us down. It is easy to come to that conclusion but momentum means a lot in football. After a tough grudge match that no call could have broken our guys. We will never really know for sure and it is all speculative.
