Nice drive by the Texans. The passing game looks like it can move the ball at will sometimes. Yeah, it's the Jags. The running game... not so much...

Overwhelming excitement in this thread for our Texans

But seriously, I guess it helps if your team either likes or respects the head coach.

[Arky]

It was good to see Watson developing a rapport with Cooks and Cobb. This team is not totally devoid of talent.... but maybe was suffering from a bit of coaching malpractice. They don't have enough to be a SB champ, IMO, but there is a ton of room for improvement. I think going 8-8 is still a reasonable goal to shoot for - anything better than that would be gravy - They may end up only winning 3, 4 or 5 games but they can start building for the future right now....

Early line for Texans @ Titans next week is Titans by 4½.
