    We traded an extra pick for McKinney too.

    Not sure what the sudden obsession with trading up is.

    BOB kept saying he needed to do a better job.

    It looks like he meant it and has.

    Ttemendous job by BoB

    Really excited where this team is headed.

    Added bonus, all the personnel decision making we fretted about earlier has actually panned out. XSF, McKinney our 2nd rounder contributing... Mericulus, JoJo earning their extensions

    Our 2014 draft as a whole is producing . CJ turning it up, JD, XF, Hal, Porsch

    Our 2015 draft is promising too and contributing

    This defense might shock someone in two weeks.

    The next two weeks will tell us a lot. This team is peaking at the right time. Never know what happens if you get into the playoffs.

    I'll be at the game next week. Got some pretty good seats, and the weather isn't supposed to be too terribly cold, so I'm pumped.


    Win that game, and then anything can happen the week after.

    I'm skeptical but no doubt they've been playing very well.

    Looking very in sync and flying all over the field.

    Still no Strong though...

    Coincidence this turnaround started after kicking Mallett to the curb.

    It really turned around once Hoyer got a concussion.

    Titans 6 points
    Bengals 6 points
    Jets 17 points
    Saints 6 points

    I really think Romeo made some major changes after the Miami game which was the worst game I've ever seen the Texans play. Not sure what happened but it's been working.

    The turnaround with the Texans has nothing to do with QB play and everything to do with the defense. Hoyer and Yates are game managers and the only QB that really hurt the Texans chances has been Mallett.

    And Moore and Graham... players know they have to earn their spot everyday in practice and by performing on gameday.

    I think it's pretty obvious that the entire team was deflated when Mallet was allowed to dress for the Miami game.

    And Kareem getting hurt opening the door for Johnson to be the starter at CB.

    So ..... How much credit does Romeo get for the defense?

    A lot. But I wonder why it looked so bad early. Was it injuries?

    The Miami game was so bad, I was literally laughing at some of the plays. It looked like Alabama vs. A D2 school, not 2 NFL teams playing.

    But it has been night and day since then. We are locking down everybody, and the offense is finding a way to score enough points by manufacturing a running game and finding Nuk. People we're quick to blame BOB when the D was struggling, you can't suddenly say he doesn't get credit now that they are performing so well. The head coach is the president of the entire operation on the field and we are playing very well right now.

    They weren't tackling well enough, they weren't communicating matchups well enough, and they weren't adjusting to some of the game-plans that were being thrown at Watt.

    Some of the scheme has improved... but the majority of improvement has come with basic fundamentals of tackling and offensive matchup recognition.

    Don't underestimate the benching of Rahim Moore. He was HORRIBLE.

    I don't know how bad Moore was because at that time the whole defense was bad, but Graham was awful. My god forgive me, but this guy can't play. He looked like me playing out there. I'm probably a little better, but Graham sucks! Why did they gave him a contract? And how much was it? I hope he gets cut.
