I agree Watson was sloppy. Hopkins made a better defensive play than any Texans DB has made in 5 years to save him from another terrible INT.

But the TD to Fuller was awesome with him looking off the safety, and the one he dropped on Fuller's head only to have it dropped was even better. I have no problem with the rookie mistakes from a rookie who is throwing 3+ TDs every week.

And I love that we can all of a sudden run a screen play. We had a couple of really well done screens, including one to a WR. Between the QB run keeping pass rushers in their lanes and a new found screen game, we are really helping out the OL.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still happy, actually very delighted that we drafted Watson as he 's turned out to be a genuine pleasure to watch every Sunday and easily the best QB prospect this franchise has ever had, so much so that I'm hopeful that the ownership keeps the current coaching regime on the job for awhile longer to see what they can do with DW.
Why just imagine what Watson could do if he had a couple of real NFL tackles and a talented TE in his offense with him ?

Ryan Griffin looked good today.

He had a decent game.
Speaking of TEs what's the story on Fido ? I know he went IR for '17 after his third concussion this year but is it potentially bigger than that, is there a serious consideration that he might retire from football ?
JJoe had a good game, wonder can we squeeze another year after this one out of our aging CB ? I would say clearly he and Arron Glenn are the best corners the Texans have ever had ?

I always thought Fido was on the IR Eligible-to-return list. Not sure exactly when the deadline to return is....8th week, 10th week, something like that?

After all the drama and injuries, the Texans are 3-3 and tied for first place in the division, sorta where you'd expect. One win we didn't expect (@Cincy) and one loss we didn't expect (to Jax) so we're headed into the bye exactly where we expected.

Suddenly, the offense is saving our skin and the defense is vulnerable due to the wave of injuries.

Radio was saying the other day that we have the 2nd easiest schedule of the remaining games. I'm expecting a winning record at the end of the year and will be disappointed if it's not....

I was thinking next three games after bye, Seattle, Colts, Rams aren't necessarily easy?
