Bombs away!

53 yards to Fuller! TD!

Texans 30, Titans 29

8:37 left in the game.

Tannehill tries his luck on a deep ball and Roby INT's!

Texans set up at their own 31 with 8:30 to go.

[Arky]

On 4th and goal from the 1, the Texans complete the TD pass to Cooks!

Texans going for 2....

Arg, ball is tipped, inc.

1:50 left in the game.

That call is embarrassing. He's clearly out of bounds. You could see it in real time and you could see it plain as day on replay. Officials shouldn't be allowed the "call stands" cop out. Have a neutral official who doesn't know the call on the field make the call.

And it's even worse when they took a 50/50 call and overturned it when we scored the tying TD against Minnesota a couple of weeks ago.

This whole franchise has a giant 'kick me' sign on our backs when it comes to officials.

Texans heading into OT after the quick score by the Titans

All tied up:

36-36

---------------------------------------

Titans get the ball first in OT.

[Arky]

Titans waste no time. No one can stop Henry cause no one is on Henry.

Henry goes for the 5 yard direct snap rushing TD on 3rd and goal.

Final score:

Titans 42, Texans 36

Lots of bad defense by the Texans today.

Total loser organization. It's hard to believe I used to care about these slapdicks.

Embarrassing like your high school haircut.

WHY???? An eight-point lead forces the Titans to score a TD *AND* convert the two-pointer. It can still happen but the Texans made it easy for them by allowing them to just take the tying extra point. Should have kicked the extra point and made Tennessee reach the end zone twice.

I'm not a big fan of "win probability" but, for the record, Texans were a 93% win probability after scoring the go-ahead TD with a minute left.

If they would have made it, win probability would have been 99.99%. Crennel said he wanted to put the game out of reach - he knows the defense sucks. They rolled the dice a bunch of times today unfortunately, that was the only fail. Can you imagine what the result would be had OB called the shots today?

----------------------------------------

Early line has the Packers as 3 to 4 pt favorite next week. Seems like a no-brainer, no?

-----------------------------------------

2-4 would have been so much better than 1-5. There still would have been hope for the season. I still think 8-8 is a reasonable goal to shoot for....

I think we should start tanking for the top pick of the 3rd round.

I don't always feel this way, but I agree wholeheartedly with Buford.

Yeah, yeah, I know what the numberz guys say, and I know that all the nerds say going for two is the right decision there. And maybe it is if you have a normal team that is at least average in most areas. We all know that the team's goal line offense is terrible, and we all know that their defense is terrible. So if you don't make the conversion attempt, and as far as I was concerned not making it was a foregone conclusion, then all they have to do to get to OT is what they've been doing all day long. If you kick, sure, of course they're going to score a TD. We've all been Texans fans for 20 years, we know the Titans are going to score. But you have to make OT less automatic.

This is literally what I was thinking as they were lining up to go for two.
