I think the only thing that can make this ass-whooping right is to beat both the Colts and the Pats. If they can't do that, then this ain't the year, this ain't the team....

NFL history has many instances of a team getting blown out at some point during the season only to do go on to good things in the post-season. For the Texans, this is their moment - they either go one way or the other.....

There is zero chance the Texans go to Indy and beat the Colts, and there is less than zero chance that they go to Foxboro and beat the Pats.

Fortunately, both games are in Houston.

What's depressing is this is how the Texans played ...off their BYE week. That means they had two weeks to prepare for the Ravens and laid this sort of egg.

The Colts game is a Thursday nighter. Brisket is back. We are 0-3 or 0-4 against Brisket in his career.

Is Mercilus out? If there's no Watt, no Clowney and no Mercilus, there's not going to be a pass rush - period.

Today Watson went back to trying to wait out the first 5 seconds to make a play off schedule. You don’t need a bye week for that. That’s backyard football that sometimes succeeds in spite of the team.

Every problem this team has showed up today. Worst of O’Brien as a play caller. Worst OL. Worst Watson. Defense folded when it was clear they weren’t getting help. Embarrassing. Hopefully we get some talent at the top of next years draft class to fix things.

With what? All our draft picks belong to the Dolphins and the Raiders.

Here's some positive news. Marlon Mack broke his hand today and is ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Texans. Of course, Brisket will still kill us with Hilton and the TEs.

Top of next years Draft. You are joking right because you know we don't have a first round pick until 2022.
A bye, two weeks to get his team ready and this is all O'Brien got to show up with after two weeks of preparation.

barrett's subtle sense of humor is largely wasted on this crowd.

[Arky]

Early line vs. Colts on TNF is showing the Texans opened as 6 pt favorites and is now down to Texans by 3½.

Public = "We don't love you anymore, Texans".
