Official Texans @ Redskins Game Thread, 11/18/2018
The 6-3 Texans head off to Washington DC this Sunday to take on the 6-3 Redskins in an early game on CBS. The Texans are coming off their bye week while the Redskins are coming off a 16-3 road win over Tampa Bay. The Redskins have some nice wins (GB, Car) however they come across statistically as mediocre. Their best team stat is that they hold the opposition to 19.4 pts/game (tie 4th). Still, 6-3 is 6-3 (just ask the Texans). The Redskins offense is led by Alex Smith at QB and Adrian Peterson at RB. Smith uses an assortment of receivers in the passing game notably, Jordan Reed, Maurice Harris, Paul Richardson, Josh Doctson and Vernon Davis.
Texans are 2-2 all time vs. the Redskins, 1-1 in DC. ----------------------------------------------------------- TV = CBS (channel 11 local), noon CST, Sunday, 11/18/2018 Announcers = Greg Gumbel, Trent Green, Bruce Arians The line = Texans by 2½ to 3 ----------------------------------------------------------- Other Sunday viewing in the Houston area: FOX (early) = Dallas @ Atlanta, Kevin Burkhardt, Charles Davis FOX (late) = Philadelphia @ New Orleans, Joe Buck, Troy Aikman ----------------------------------------------------------- Prime time: TNF = Green Bay @ Seattle (FOX/NFLN) SNF = Minnesota @ Chicago (NBC) MNF = Kansas City @ LA Rams (ESPN) (note: Pit @ Jax was flexed out of SNF to show Min @ Chi) |

This might be the first time I can remember a guy going off about his first team while playing for his 4th team. Swearinger is definitely playing well for a team he fits on, but he hasn't grown up a bit. He left Houston 4 years ago and still can't get over it. |

I still can't get over how poorly Two Spoons was in pass defense. Here's hoping Watson throws his direction early and often.

Texan inactives vs. Redskins:
Vyncint Smith, WR Aaron Colvin, CB Deante Burton, CB Zach Cunningham, ILB Duke Ejiofor, OLB Carlos Watkins, DE Joel Heath, DE ------------------------------------------------- This is the week of Thanksgiving so there will be the usual Thanksgiving day football games. Interestingly, the Redskins have to play the Cowboys on Thanksgiving... |

Nice start. Hope they keep it up. Players seem motivated. Whatever 1Q issues O'Brien had with the team to start the year seem to be behind them.

Texans had an opportunity after the Scarlett INT but a Watson sack and a Fairbairn missed 44-yard FG led to nothing. At the half, the score remains:
Texans 17, Redskins 7 --------------------------------------- Indy rolling 24-3 over the Titans.... |

Defense is playing awesome.
Like many games this year the officials are embarrassing themselves. With replay you have a built in copout where you can just say "call stands" any time you feel like it. But somehow these morons confirm a call when there was clear evidence of no catch. And as I type Watson does the only thing you can't do when your defense is playing like this...he turns it over. Both TOs today come on balls that never should have been thrown. The intercepted screen pass is brutal. Miller loses yards on that play even if he catches it. If any ball needs to be thrown at the guys' feet, it's that ball. Watson is looking better and better the last 7 games, but learning to let go of plays remains a work in progress. |

It's about time the pass rush started kicking ass. Watt and Clowney with sacks on the previous Redskin possession. Texans have the ball at their own 42 with 4:38 left in the game.

True for sure. But in 50-75 plays there will always be some dogs. Great QB play is one part making great plays and one part recognizing those dogs and ending the play without physical or game damage. I think Watson is getting better, but he's so good he still thinks he can make every play a winner.

We got screwed earlier on the reviewed fumble, but the refs just did us a solid on the defensive holding call to give us a first down.
