    Hmmm thought the title if this thread was Texans@Titans. (Looks to make sure, "yep".)

    Bashing another qb? I like Teddy and Johnny so not sure where you are going with that one.

    Have you already forgotten why this side conversation started? You look for any excuse to bash Fitz while propping up your draft crushes. Just because you like 2 scrub QB's that the Texans passed on is no reason to go way over the top against who they have on the roster. If you can't see that the Texans would be a lot worse off right now throwing Teddy or Johnny out there then we should just stop this here because you are beyond help.

    I'll end this convo with this...what Bobby just said seems to be true.

    The people that blame our 4 losses on Fitz are:

    1. People that were very upset about passing on TB and JFF. I was a TB supporter but understood why we passed on him.

    2. Simpletons. Another thing I agree with Bobby on. It's the same type of people that continued and still bash on Kareem who has been solid for a long while now. It's lazy analysis of the state of the team. They want a scapegoat and putting losses on one player is usally silly 9/10 times.

    Look the problem with Fitz is two fold he greatly limits the play book and he makes his mistakes at the most crucial inopportune times like the end of the Dallas game. Is he the only reason the team is struggling? No. Is he the main culprit? YES.

    The Dallas game that should have been put away if BoB stuck to the run.

    The Indy game where our secondary was toast repeatedly.

    The Giants game where Jennings ripped us a new one.

    Turnovers in the last game did us in. I don't want to make excuses for Fitz but that was an awful play-call. Repeat with me. Game.Situations. Go into the half down 4.

    Getting back to the topic at hand: Would anyone here be in the least bit surprised on Sunday if the Texans lay (yet) another egg and blow this game as well? On paper this is supposed to be another winnable game but given how they've played in other games like this one simply cannot have much faith in them getting this one right.

    Actually, he reminded me of the coyote chasing after the roadrunner... Beep, Beep!

    Yeah he was a total fail in coverage and he wasn't making the tackles that we're accustomed to him making. Hopefully he can bounce back and become himself again at some point next season.

    Oh wow, that's nuts. Maybe the Titans are waiving the white flag on the season.

    Or maybe Zach Mettenberger is amazing.

    I'm sure that's within the realm of possibilities, but he'd be the only QB in last year's class to look that way if he was.

    or maybe they realize that Locker is like Fitzpatrick and his ceiling is an average back up.

    No they are not afraid to see if Zach is the future QB. Might as well see what you got correct?

    No rookie should look amazing in his first game. I fully expect Crennel to confuse the hell out of him, and if Clowney is back that will be even scarier. Load up on the Texans D in Fanduel.
