Wore my Texans shirts a couple times last week. Not so much this week, maybe not the rest of the year if the Tennessee Titmice go out and take the division from us. "Flat Bill" O'Brien/Texans player: "We beat the Pats on natl TV, that's good capital for the fans and owner for a few games. Showing good potential is enough. Maybe we can get the Rockets' analytics dept. to show how missed calls and injuries kept points and wins from us unfairly."
Last year, Frank Reich proved a better coach in his 1st year than 5-year coach Flat Bill. Will Vrabel in his 2nd year, with Tannehill? Texans: "Eh, we laid another egg in front of our fans in the playoffs. It's happened before. No one's watching these 1st round games except our fans, and they're just Houston."
[Side note: I was happy the trick play worked last week, but it came with the Texans already up solidly, so it was less of a risk. But I also immediately worried that its success would embolden O'Brien to take even more stupid risks than he already does, and he did that at his own 34 in the 1st half today. When your success rate taking gambles is, what, about 1 in 5, just stop. It's a mental issue with Flat Bill--a gambling addiction where he thinks because he hit 21 the last hand, it's fated to happen again the next time.]
