---------------------------------

Defense's turn to blow chunks this game....

Well, at least they are still in the hunt for the 1st pick in the draft.

Jacksonville's about to win.

Thursday night game for first pick in the draft.

Nice to see Keenum and Tate and AJ do good today for 31 points. Everybody played hard.

I don't really care who the next head coach is but I just want someone who knows how to control the clock and manage their time outs. Basically I want someone who's not a total mouthbreather. Maybe McNair can find one. But I doubt it.

S _ _ K _ B _ T

I'd like to buy a vowel.

And just like that the Bills hang 7 on Atlanta. I can't imagine how Atlanta wins another game. And the Texans obviously won't win another. I have no idea how the tie-breaker works.

T H _ S F _ C K _ N G T _ _ M S _ C K S

Buy one.

There is no spate of bad luck involved here, dude; they suck. This is a disaster of an organization in every possible way. From the owner to the shithead who mixes the Gatorade. This is a loser organization. Period.

Face it. The Houston Texans are one of the handful of historically and continually terrible franchises in North American pro sports. Pretend otherwise if you want. But you know it's true.

The Vikings, on the other hand, appear snakebit.

Disagree. They're not snake bit, they're just not very good.

Keenum played better today, love watching him move around and make plays. Entertaining stuff. D was brutal in 2nd half.

I'm hoping for 4 more entertaining games that result in L's.

Son of a bitch. Atlanta won. Buffalo is snakebit.

The Texans are now unquestionably the worst team in the NFL. Twelve years of snakebit. Eventually you'd think someone would take a nice, sharp shovel to the snake but apparently not.

Not to worry, Chuckles. The Bills obliged them in OT.

All the roadblocks have been cleared to get Teddy Bridgewater if that's who we want.

I would love to see the owner clean house and bring in a professional team to manage the Texans rather than the jailhouse snitch and his stupid sidekick. Then if they want Bridgewater or Clowney or whoever, fine. I'd just love to see a GM that knows what he's doing for a change and a head coach that out-coaches someone once every six or seven years or so.

But you and I both know that McNair will bung this up somehow.

This team has never had a real GM and it shows, painfully. I was watching the guys running around out there today trying to compete with an unusually talent depleted New England team and I was thinking, What!? The Texans have THESE guys out there!?

Just seeing their rookies and rejects kick beat our guys up and down is depressing. What's more depressing is knowing that nothing material is going to change.

Say what ? I thought they were the ones with a HOF @ QB and we were the ones with the PS QB ?

Oh sometimes the jokes can just write themselves. Here, some source material...

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10...gland-patriots

New wrinkle? Say, I have an idea. Why don't the Texans find a couple of guys who can rush the passer and put them at OLB? Maybe put some pressure on a QB from time to time. Just as an experiment. That would be a new wrinkle.

This to me is Smith's biggest failure as gm.
