Mills and a full slate of draft picks makes this a little more enticing head coaching destination than it was last offseason with no picks until 3rd round and no WD40.

Yep. The very first pick after the 2nd pick is all ours.

Texans worthy
Every Houston sports reporter needs to get confirmation that Kelly was calling the plays in the second half.

It's like a tsunami of love in your mouth.
What do you expect to happen?
23/33 301 yards 3TDs 0 INTs.

Mills had big games against both the Pats and Tacks defenses. Not too shabby.

I predicted two to four wins and they got to the top end of that prediction. I’ll take it.
With something to play for
They fire Easterby and Cal!
That was when it was dangerous to walk down the sidewalk on Wall Street !

I didn’t make a prediction. Based on the number of games against bad teams I saw six that we should compete well in. We played poorly against the Jets & Dolphins. I wasn’t expecting that. I didn’t like that.
but we played well against the Titans, twice & the Chargers. That’s 3 games I didn’t think we’d be in, winning 2.
mixed feelings but Mills & Collins play puts them over the top as far as my expectations went.

Mills and that offense woke up in the second half only for our defense to blow the game.

More than anything, I hope not see another year where we field a 1 quarter/1 half football team (and Easterby). We need 4 quarters of competitive play calling and execution.

Too bad he was 7-14, 61 yards in the 1st half.
This story sounds familiar. I don't see the Titans making a deep playoff run.

That's the Texans M.O. We have longed for consistent good play from the offense and defense for 4 quarters for a very long time...

Mills could’ve put up much better numbers. This sudden opening up of the offense stinks to high heaven of sandbagging this game. Mills is ready to take the reins of this offense next season….and his growth could be eye-opening if Caserio gets the requisite chess pieces on offense.

Really don’t think it matters much if Kelly is still here. If the Texans really want to see what Mills is all about, they’ve got to get him out of this shit offense.
Didn't I read someone say that the offense put the defense in a bad position in the 1st half?

What changed in the second half?

Now that's the million dollar question. Play calling? Titans got lax? Mills got in his rhythm? Something happened, because the offense was pretty lame the first half.

All I want in the playoffs is for the Titans and Cowgirls to lose.

What changes every half? How many games are they night and day in one half over another? Damn near every game they’ve played.
It looked to me that the Texans scrapped the option routes and ran what was called.

Tim Kelley needs to go
They forced 3 & outs on the Titans first 3 possessions.
If they can keep Jones & Brown healthy they’ll host the AFCCG

According to Mills, at halftime, everyone was in agreement that the run game was not working and they needed to go to an uptempo game. Also they recognized the short game was not working and they had to go to the intermediate and long game.. With the uptempo game the Titans weren't able to change their defenses from play to play and the Texans pass game was able to take advantage.

And again, even with a paltry record and it being another Corona bullshit season and with practically nothing on the team, we looked competitive in many many games.
I can stomach sucking if we're at least playing hard.
Wish I could say the same for 2024-2020.

This is the conundrum… was that his problem or was that the OC not knowing wth was going on?
If only Martin got that sack.
Or Thomas fell on that fumble
or Brooks pulled in just one of those INTs.
or if they didn’t allow that score at the end of the 1st half
I'm thinking that Mills didn't forget how to play QB or throw with accuracy and anticipation.

According to Mills in his post game interview,, the Texans plan going into the game was to run the ball and use the short passing game. The Titans were ready for this and stopped the Texans from succeeding with their game plan. They made adjustment during halftime to go to an uptempo game and go to intermediate and long passes.
Edit: Actually it was a callin interview during the post game 610 show.
This needs to happen.

Titans are in the top 5 in rushing defense (think I heard this on the broadcast) so ya, let’s run the ball! Typical OB/Kelly crap!
I’m pleased with the second half performance though. Usually it’s pretty lame after halftime
Great post and the reason I hope McDaniels is the HC next year. This kind of crap wouldn't have happened.
Sad Culley/Kelly couldn't see the obvious.
I was thinking the same thing, then I double checked on NFL.com

Heard a strange comment on 610 following the game ( strange because it is contrary to popular opinion ).
It was OB who wanted a strong running game. After OB was fired last year, TK was free to run his offense. The Texans threw the ball more than most other teams.
This year, it's Culley who wants to run the ball. TK again is simply following the HC.
Implied was the thought that the Texans were not running TK's offense.
