I disagree that the receivers were open. When mallet has looked down the field for a receiver more often than not he's had to check down. Unfortunately the Texans receivers just couldn't get separation against a very good secondary.
The Texans have seen all of the varieties of suck at the QB position in the last two years. They better draft somebody.
You'll see it on the All-22...Mallett had poor throws. The receivers were in position to make catches.
Coaches are so dumb...if they kicked the FG, they would have been in position for an onside kick. Instead, they put themselves in a position of having no chance.

We we're always gonna be 8-8. Before the season, at 2-0, at 4-5, and after Mallets good game. People became wildy optimistic or overly pessimistic.
Yup...people like to unnecessarily jump on Fitz because it seemed like the popular thing to do. Fact of the matter is that Fitz did have a few horrible games, but he also had a handful of decent games. This game may have been won if Fitz played today.
