    The whole team looks deflated. The look on their face and their body language is one of surrender and resignation.

    The only way Texans comeback is if Watson puts the whole team on his shoulder and does his Michael Jordan thing. I have absolute faith he can do that, but BOB's sheer stupidity is standing in the way in a game with razor thin margin of error from hereon.

    I’d say blowing a 3-2 lead in the WS, at home, ranks #1 now.

    Yeah man, I’m right there with you. Seen this too many times as a Houston sports fan to get burned by it again. I’ve learned my lesson.

    Thought for sure we were returning the favor from when they beat us 30-0 at our house.

    Coaching tells return man, we got the lead don’t bring it out.. and reminds him every time... up 24-0 you punt because clock on your side... should be 24-14 at this time

    Don't worry Bill O'Brien has a plan to bring Frank Reich out of retirement for the second half.

    There was nothing wrong with kicking the field goal. Also, 14 of the Chiefs points belong to Fairbairn’s inability to kick the ball through the end zone on kickoffs, and DeAndre Carter’s boneheaded decision to return a kick from the end zone that he fumbled.

    That said, the fake punt was the dumbest coaching decision I’ve ever seen by an NFL coach in a playoff game, and it wasn’t the right time or scenario for it.

    I wonder if the Texans will even compete in the 2nd half. I think KC was just rusty in the first and we took advantage of that. Now the better team is winning.

    Bob's coaching and strategy is more than suspect at this point..it's blatant ignorance

    We don't need to make history twice when it comes to deficits. The 93 flashbacks were bad enough. Time to clear the head, take a breath, and start the second half ready for a comeback.

    This one will be worse for me because at least the Nats made amazing plays.

    With this Texan team they just basically gave KC this comeback. The Astros were just beaten by a team that made great play after great play and KC were just gifted these points with all these short fields.

    A fumble on the return, poor return defense, and the fake punt...

    3 short drives for an elite defense, we gave them 21 points, they barely even had to work for it.

    Look, I didn't like the fake punt. It was a bad call. But even after that, the team still had a 24-14 lead and was about to get the ball. The defense was like tissue paper that quarter, Carter fumbled on a kickoff return I'm not even sure he needed to take out. I just don't get where all the negativity is for literally everyone else who sucked that quarter.
