Thanks Keith. I failed completely at embedding that clip.

Early line vs. Tampa Bay = Texans by 6.5 to 7

Finished watching the Texans offense.

8 drops from Houston's WRs / TEs / RBs. In professional football. That's silly.

I don't have the heart to go back and watch that garbage but I wonder how many of the drops were because Mallett threw a seven yard pass 600 miles per hour and how many of them were dropped because the receiver just dropped it. I remember a lot more of the latter than the former but I might be mistaken.

I agree with chuck, someone needs to turn Mallett down, his motor was throwing fastballs on every pass before halftime.

I'll be willing to bet the fault lies 50/50. While I generally take the opinion that if the ball hits the receiver in the hands he should catch it, Mallett had ZERO touch and was throwing fastballs regardless of distance, and a few of the dropped passes were off target and very difficult catches to make. The main culprit I saw missing catchable passes was Washington. He dropped a couple that were right to him. This season is obviously going nowhere so it's time to get Strong on the field.
