Terrible, terrible call. Man, I hate that.

I loved the look on BOB's face after James' run. It was like, Damn, I might not be able to cut this guy.

Charles James has a long TD run called back because of holding but not much to mention in the final quarter..... Savage, again, shows some good things.....

Final Score:

Texans 27, Saints 13

Onward to the real stuff....

Solid and satisfying win for the fake season. The Superdome is not an easy place to play in.

I hope you guys now see what I was talking about regarding Jaelen Strong. He can post up his DB for the tough catch and he has enough burst to get open as he did on the TD. No, he's not going to replace AJ but he's good enough that opponents cannot just focus on Hopkins. To get him in the 3rd round was a bargain.

Oh, BTW, the Jets have already cut DeVier Posey so there was no loss trading up.
