    Awful game, but I will take it. Thank you, JJ! Hopkins! and late arriving DW (although he made a cameo appearance in the first half). The players overcame BOB once again. And you got to feel sorry for Blue, who is likely Black and Blue after being beaten up again and again. Did he ever gain a yard? And what about Miller?

    But running the clock gives the Texans about a 95% chance to win the game. If you throw there on 3rd and 10, let's give them a generous 50% chance of making it. If you make it, you increase your chances to 100%. But the 50% of the time you don't make it, you give the Jets nearly 2 minutes to go down the field - that opens up lots more possibilites for them. The risk-reward is just not there in going for in that situation - you're not improving your odds of winning by much at all if you make it (95% to 100%) but the downside is bigger.

    Watson's stats look pretty good, nearly 300 yards, 2 TDs, only 6 incompletions. Yet he had probably the worst 3rd quarter ever, but at the same time he had no rushing game to speak of.

    Bob did not open the things up, he was just sh’tting his pants on the sideline and forgot to call the plays.

    No Fuller. No Keke. No Miller.

    That's a big part of our offense.

    Not surprised the offense struggled at times.

    Yet everyone b****es about running so much.
    Facts are a good running game helps a young quarterback period, Watson is not there yet in his development to put a team on his back consistently. He’s shown flashes but he’s also shown some glimpses of being inexperienced.

    I know the local western media is going to sh** on this win like the Texans sha* the first 55 minutes but it was a good win against a Jets team that had nothing to lose. Props to the jets D. Like I said about the Jets after last week's game, better practice with 3 o-lineman and 22 defenders because Philly won't be shy about blitzing all game either. Watson and Hopkins on that last drive, oh my, cold blooded.

    I don't disagree. I just want the Texans to have a mentality to go and win the game without going through a lengthy cost-benefit analysis on 10 yards.

    I have 0 hope in harden in the offs I’ve seen enough of him to know he will crumble similar to the offense without fuller,Keke and foreman prolly more so without fuller I think the other 2 will be back
