It is absolutely amazing how terrible the Texans are in every way. The Giants are a bad team, the Steelers are a bad team. The Texans are just a joke. Year after year after year.

But you are still hanging in there, suffering with the rest of us, right Chuck ?

[Big Texas]

A lot of good players but ABSOLUTELY NO playmakers...you can't blame this on O'Brien...I hope there are some massive changes next year...

[Nconroe]

Is it now time to see the other QB's on the roster? or wait till after the bye.

Seems to me the team kinda gave up today at some point, or lost intensity.

Clowney won't play or can't play, not sure which is true at this point. Either way, as I've said many times, he's a waste.

O'Brien let Fitz throw with a minute left in the half from his own five so I'm afraid I can't let him off without blame. Plus, he's the head coach and there were some horrific penalties. Also, if it's to be believed that Rick Smith takes a back seat in the drafts then you have to blame O'Brien for this disaster of a draft.

What changes do you want to see next year? A new owner?

[Big Texas]

Who should absolutely be gone next year:
Keyshawn Martin
Devier Posey
Kareem Jackson
Derek Newton
Danielle Manning
Garrett graham
Brooks reed

Strong consideration:
Fitz
Chris Meyers
Mike Mohammed
Justin tuggle


This is not including the obvious 3rd teamers.

[Nconroe]

Nice onsides kick attempt, exciting, but no cigars.

Just lost turnovers at bad time at end of first half was main issue.
