    Most important question, how will HEB edit Brock's wooden personality out of their commercials?

    They took care of David Carr pretty fast.

    They need to find a way, or they'll keep losing more customers to Kroger's.

    Edit: I'd imagine it would go something like this

    TOM SAVAGE MAKES MOST OF BROCK OSWEILER BENCHING

    Quarterback grade: Brock Osweiler, 42.4; Tom Savage, 73.6

    Savage makes most of Osweiler benching

    Sometimes you earn yourself a bit of luck. Where Osweiler was picked when throwing straight to a defender, Savage saw his errant throw dropped by Malik Jackson. But given the injection of life he provided the offense, you can forgive him that. The reason he’ll get the game ball is because, without Savage, the Texans don’t win this game. Whether it was stretching the field with a deep completion on his first drive, or just getting Hopkins more involved, he made plays that you just didn’t see Osweiler making. If anything shows the composure level of the two quarterbacks, it was against the pass-rush. Over the four times that Osweiler was pressured, he recorded a 0.0 QB rating. For Savage, that number was 101.7.

    Top offensive grades:

    LT Duane Brown, 84.4

    WR DeAndre Hopkins, 77.5

    FB Jay Prosch, 75.3

    QB Tom Savage, 73.6

    RG Oday Aboushi, 73.0

    Offensive does enough to win, but doesn’t provide long-term confidence

    Outside of the excellent Duane Brown shutting down one side of the Jaguars’ pass-rush, this wasn’t a unit that did a lot to make you think they’ll cause problems in the postseason. The introduction of Savage certainly drew the best out of Hopkins, but the line did not do enough to take advantage of Lamar Miller, and the reality is that without the Jaguars being so inept on offense to keep giving the Texans the ball back, they would not have been in position to win against a tired defense.

    Top defensive grades:

    S Quintin Demps, 86.7

    OLB Jadeveon Clowney, 84.9

    CB Kareem McKenzie, 81.5

    LB Benardrick McKinney, 79.3

    LB Brian Cushing, 77.9

    Clowney delivers like a first overall pick should

    Jadeveon Clowney may not have been the most valuable player in this game, but he was definitely in the conversation. Officially credited with two sacks (one will likely come back as a designed run), he ended the day with four defensive stops, a batted pass, and five total quarterback disruptions. He doesn’t always take full advantage of his physical prowess, but when he does, Clowney has the kind of explosion that has offensive blockers beat before they even realize what is happening. He’s finishing the season strong, and if the team is to make the playoffs, he’ll need continue performing at this level.

    They should make one of Savage sitting on the bench eating the cookies Vince made him, and saying, "Have a cookie Tom, these are great" to Savage as he comes off the field.

    It's not lateral... at worst, it's addition by subtraction

    Brock sucked that bad.

    And Rick Smith is essentially family to him. Zero evidence to suggest Rick has been lobbying for something different.

    Don't worry, fam. The Savage is here.

    Savage doesn't have the right skin color to satisfy HardenTime no matter how well he plays. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it, hopefully it's just a trolling thing.

    Unlike you, What probably had the Titans winning today's game instead of a guaranteed loss. I thought you said all the Texans had to do (prior to this week) was to win 2 and they were in? When you were presented with the possibility that the Titans could win out you said something like there was no way they would beat KC.

    @Bobbythegreat is way overconfident. I bet he thought there was no way in a million years the titans would beat Denver, let alone kc @ kc. If the titans win at jags and all we have to do is beat the Texans at home, where the Texans struggle all year, it's going to be hilarious how wrong he was about us.

    On that note... it is pretty Titans-like for them to go 0-3 against the Texans/Colts, but somehow beat KC on the road.

    Watching this game . .. .
    It is why I never give in to the "Coaches are professions and know more than fans" or "They see them every day in practice and know better!!" arguments

    Sometimes the EYE TEST is just superior even to a fan

    Depends on the coach. Would you feel comfortable saying that about a good coach?

    Also it's circumstance. O'Brien told McNair Brock was worth that contract. You can't easily bench a guy you went after
