And our defensive played great, especially since it was on the road

So... an hour removed from the game...

Not overly concerned. It bothers me Gruden wasn't smart enough to run the ball more. It bothers me we had two blocked kicks.

Watt clearly was the deciding factor in that game. Thankfully we don't have to play him every week.

We have a week to get ready for the Jags game. Operation Get Right starts now.

That's what happens when the center steps on the QB legs

I dunno. I think we match up better with Jacksonville. I know Cyprien went out with a concussion i started em IDP thinking hes be active vs eagles run but he was done. Teams gonna get picked apart this week in the media. I think more as a team youll see a few things. but they have the talent to turn it around.

Obviously, the Texans are better than last years record shows. But are we? Remains to be seen. Being undone by blocks and fumbles still registers as a loss. This team will need to win convincingly to lead me to conclude that things are on the upswing.

Even if say that happen next week against the Jags I still wouldn't believe it. Now if it happen 3 weeks in a row maybe Today's play means against Philly or Seattle the final score will be 54 - 7

There were too many mistakes to overcome......having Polumbus battle Waat, both fumbles inside the ten yard line, and Griffin holding the ball too long just to name a few.........but there was progress in the running game and RG3 completed a high percentage of his passes.......the defense was solid.....but there were too many three and outs before the offense started to produce some things....

Before anyone goes anointing the defense, they let Fitzpatrick have a 109 QB rating, about double his career average. This team still needs a lot of players. We have too many guys starting who need to be backups.

The Pats were in a position to do that. We are more in a position just to nicely ask him not to again, and if he says No tell him thats ok too.

Looks to me that Helu ran the ball very well today. I think we are in a position to do exactly that. However, I'm not going to blame Alf Mo for that shitty hand-off. The fumbling I'm talking about is when you get it stripped from you like a little bitch.

They played well enough to win, special teams and offense didn't. Houston has one of the better olines in the league

Seattles gonna have a field day with our pass protection. We should start cousins for just that game, give rg a break and let him get annihilated for once. Its like that, i just dont see how it could be anything else. Kid needs some hogs. Only reason i think were a year away. Maybe a defensive piece too.

My initial reaction to the game was utter disappointment and just wanted to say everybody sucks - that was hard to watch so I opted to just turn it off after that Paul fumble. Hard to say how the game would have turned out if Houston don't get that punt block TD and we score on either fumble in the redzone but I thought Gruden made some pretty stupid decisions that sure didn't help things.

Not ready to throw in the towel on Griffin just yet (I don't think the outcome would have changed with Cousins in there) but man does he look like he has lost all confidence in himself. If he can't get his mojo back against the Jags- it's not going to be a fun season.
