Official Texans vs. Cowboys Game Thread, 10/7/2018

First blush, the OL wasn't bad, but I wouldn't say they were good, either. Some credit is owed to the Cowboys defense... they aren't bad. But the Texans seem to be increasing the shotgun snaps and deep drops in recognition of their subpar OL pass pro. Could be helping Watson improve his pocket vision as well. Regardless, I think it is contributing to the redzone offensive woes, kinda like the Oilers back in the red gun/run n' shoot days.

Wow talk about coming back from the dead.
After that 0-3 start I figured that was it for 2018, but now after two straight
wins and the rest of the division losing yesterday we are now just a game out of the division lead.
So expectations for a Super Bowl appearance now ? Hardly but atleast we've got something to play for in the upcoming weeks.

Yep. Wait a day or so after an ugly win and it's indistinguishable from any other win. Especially in the small sample sized 16 game NFL schedule. In December nobody cares how you won your games, and the Texans did exactly what they needed to in the last two weeks. If they don't fix some of the problems then those wins won't mean what they could, but they saved their season for now.
