Texans are 6-6 for the 3rd year in a row and currently on a 3 game losing streak. Under OB's regime, they've never lost 4 in a row. They had one other 3 game losing streak in 2014 (Dallas, Indy, Pit). Obviously, next Sunday would be a good time to snap the losing streak....

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

I'll take yesterday's Brock over some of the other versions. For the most part, he was getting the ball out and in the general vicinity of the receiver. Drives were failing because a banged up L Miller had 14 carries/22 yards among other things. Dropped ball here, bad play call there... The defense picked a bad time to give up a 98 yard drive... Hope Charles James' socks business is doing well because he's going to need it soon..

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

I'm not calling the players losers, the owner a greedy bastard or the coaches idiots, yet, but give it time. I'm still on the 9-7 train until that changes...

Despite not wining a Super Bowl, and despite this w/Dak, I'd take the Tony Romo-lead Cowboys history over this franchise's 15 year history any day of the week. And believe me, it pains me to say that.

Getting Clowney back will make a tremendous difference. The pass rush was non-existent in Green Bay without him.

Aaron Rodgers had all day to wait for a receiver to get open, and his big score came when the Texans' worst DB Charles James slipped in the snow.

I suppose Clowney was held out so the team could hope he was fresh to win the next game which matters far more.

Clowney was able to play and wanted to play. I guess the team's considering the game against a shit Green Bay team unwinnable says all you need to know.

The Texans are a pathetic, gutless organization.

How the team and Clowney have interacted since he was drafted is strange, on all fronts. Just odd at times, Sunday's just the latest. Odd comes from poor management.

Charles James was just cut, essentially scapegoated. He has always been a special teams guy, every time he was pressed into performing as a DB was a disappointment. Still, covering Packer WRs in the snow for 10+ seconds because of zero pass rush is a tough task for anyone. That said, from the point where JJo left the game, the Packers seemed suddenly able to pass the ball downfield.

It disgusts me that Charles James was scapegoated like that. Sure, he wasn't very good as a corner - he was OK as a special teamer - but he's your fifth CB FFS and he slips in the snow after following one of the better receivers in the league around for fifteen seconds and suddenly it's all his fault. Right.

Well, the Colts sure got better on Monday night. Hope they got that out of their systems. Is it fair that they got to play the Jets out of the AFC East while we had to play the Patriots?

That's what happens when you win the division the previous year, they stick you with the tougher schedule. The way it's looking now Indy or the Titans will have the tougher schedule next year.
Re James's dismissal - he would probably still be with the team had he not been out on the field @ GB clowning around bare chested in pregame "warmups". Hopefully that sock business of his is up and running and generating enough revenue to pay the rent.

Ya, in hindsight, he should've been figuring out what kind of cleats to use in the slush..

Fumbling the kickoff in New England, the slip in Green Bay - two major "contributions" in losses.... Kind of a Jacoby Jones on defense...And he really is too small, methinks... good special teamer, though or least better than what we are used to seeing from special teamers.

In his place, the Texans picked up Al-Hajj Shabazz, a 6'2", 200lb CB. A longer type. I think I'm hearing he was a recent cut from the Steelers PS but I may be wrong on that...
