Yeah but our defense sucks more lolAre you watching the Packers D right now? It sucks
They should put an asterisk next to Henry’s name. Two of his three 200 yard games were against us. 9 months apart.Henry is now the first player in NFL history to record a 200+ rushing game in three straight seasons. And the only other player with 250+ total scrimmage yards and 2 TDs in a game in the last three years is Saquon Barkley.
If we’re talking about Mahomes or Rodgers or whoever, they still have good games against good defenses.it's ok for other QBs to put up big numbers against us but never for Watson when he does it to bad defenses
He was the major starter still out. He's on IR but has been working out last week. Maybe next week vs. Pittsburgh but we'll see.
I'm more concerned about Taylor Lewan who has not finished three straight games getting dinged up. And we still don't know what's up with Jonnu Smith who also left the game.
TB and Ten are neck in neck in points allowed this year. I’d say they are similar quality defenses.If we’re talking about Mahomes or Rodgers or whoever, they still have good games against good defenses.
Watson & Tannehill don’t.
I’m not down on Watson, but facts are facts.
I think Watson is getting better but he’s in a poor environment for learning.
You can't compare the Rodgers of today with Watson.If we’re talking about Mahomes or Rodgers or whoever, they still have good games against good defenses.

You guys won.Tannehill's INT was awful and I know he wants that one back since that was on him. Otherwise I think we like him in Tennessee. 15-4 as a starter.

How long did Aaron had to sit and learn?
And then he has the stability of a franchise that build the team around him.
Same with Mahomes.
That franchise has been stable for years and they stockpile talents like no other.
And Lewan may have torn his ACL. F&$%.
Nuk wasn’t a difference maker either though. Sure he made a few big plays when he was here, but the offense and team results weren’t really any better than they’ve been since he left.
Aside from that, he hasn’t made that big a difference for the Cards either, despite his gaudy numbers.
Wasn’t thinking I missed Nuk at all these last few weeks as Fuller and Cooks have gone off off
We're gonna have to disagree on that one.
Are you watching the Packers D right now? It sucks

Not just Watson but the whole offense has to be on point again to stand a chance because Im dreading what Rodgers gonna do to our defense. He's going to be pissed after today's game and I can't remember the last time he's had two bad games in a row if ever.1st bad game of the season.
Cant wait to see how DW4 fares against this sucky D.
And you think the Texans are in a position to trade assets for one year rentals?Happens all of the time.
You ever heard of a rental? Clowney maybe?

Cap space for what?They traded Hopkins for cap space next yr. (Which they badly need) Johnson/Cooks can both be cut (Over 22 mil.) or in Cooks case hopefully restructured.

Take your own recommendation, steelb.Excuses, DW4's been here for 4 yrs.
Take your own recommendation, steelb.
Reading comprehension.
Those are facts.
Maybe never.So how long does DW4 have to be here before you can compare them? 5 yrs, 10 yrs?
To cut both just makes the trade even worst imo. Couldn't they have used cobbs/mercilus money for Hopkins? The only way I could make sense of it all is that hopkins just wanted a way out but who knows.They traded Hopkins for cap space next yr. (Which they badly need) Johnson/Cooks can both be cut (Over 22 mil.) or in Cooks case hopefully restructured.
It took half a game for Watson to learn all there is from Savage.Those guys also had the luxury of being drafted by teams with good starting qb's already on the roster. They weren't picked by a team starting Tom Savage like Watson was.

Feels like OB invested a lot in the wr department and forgot about everything else
The Texans were missing a starting ILB, McKinney.He was the major starter still out. He's on IR but has been working out last week. Maybe next week vs. Pittsburgh but we'll see.
I'm more concerned about Taylor Lewan who has not finished three straight games getting dinged up. And we still don't know what's up with Jonnu Smith who also left the game.
Problem is you have to replace the players with others and match or exceed the productivity.They traded Hopkins for cap space next yr. (Which they badly need) Johnson/Cooks can both be cut (Over 22 mil.) or in Cooks case hopefully restructured.
Really , I think they should unload all the dead weight ... they are in cap hell as it is and its only going to get worse going forward.Something tells me that Cal is going to start the fire sale on veteran players here soon.
This game was basically a matchup of Henry and Watson. Tannehill still sucks
Texans gotta find a way to unload merciless

Depends on if they use that cap space to sign a couple of impact FA defenders. Unfortunately the Texans dont go after top tier guys in FA. Maybe a new regime can talk Cal into operating differently.
IIRC, Texans could have cut Hopkins with same dead money they ate when they traded him ; three million. They would not needed to cut DJ for cap space 2021 as not on team. They still could have traded their second round for Cooks if they wanted to give Watson more options. They would not have Blacklock but he hasn't shown much in six games anyway.They traded Hopkins for cap space next yr.

Beat me to it.You know better than that.
Money had nothing to do with that trade .... it made the cap situation worse than it was before taking on DJ's bad contract and then spending the money in FA on a WR.
Disagree, most of the top tier FA have either basically been signed before the FA officially starts, Trent Brown, wanting such stupid money that the only desperate teams with no real hope and only want a splash player, Bell to a Jets, or have serious issues that make them to big a risk to sign, AB.
Texans have been in the mix for most of the major FA that fit a need but they haven’t been willing to overpay something I applaud them for. Many free agents are free agents for a reason and it’s rarely because the other team had so much talent they could afford to lose them.

The dolphins unloaded some of their young stars (tunsils and minkah). The return they got also helped their turn around3 major FA signings in 18 yrs.
You think Byron Jones would help the defense this yr? How about a NT like Jordan Phillips? The Dolphins who were terrible last yr invested well in FA and had a great draft. Suddenly they're 3-3 with Fitz at QB.
This isn't the old NFL anymore.

You’re mixing the Texans with OB on those. For whatever reason OB invested entirely into the offense. Maybe it’s because that’s what he knows, maybe he was trying to give Watson the best weapons and protection he could, maybe he was trying to set Watson up so he could say “see I invested everything in him and the offense and he still couldn’t make it work”. I don’t know and frankly it doesn’t matter anymore.
Don’t confuse the Texans organization though with the individuals making the decisions. The McNairs don’t make anymore money overpaying for guys like Martin than they would signing the various FA and NFL rules say they have to spend a certain amount. Each year Texans have spent almost all their cap space they just haven’t spent it wisely. That’s talent evaluation not unwillingness to go after the big names.
This is off topic, sir, please do not derail the thread.Interesting you never said this whenever CW does it. Why. But since I started doing it, now there's an issue
Why exactly? Do you think this defense could stop a 2-pt attempt?

The Titans had 601 yards of offense. Tell me again why we didn't sign Earl Thomas.
Are we sure Earl wanted to come here? I mean... why would he sign with a team not going to the post season?
i didn’t like the decision. I don’t know what the success changes are for 2pt conversions but they are probably way below 50% - rather have them roll trees odds than us.
For example, if teams are successful kicking an extra-point 95 percent of the time — the average rate since 2015, when the league moved the snap for the extra-point kick to the 15-yard line — they will score 0.95 points per kick attempt. That means a two-point conversion needs only a 47.5 percent success rate to give a comparable point per attempt.
