    So all Bill O’Brien needs to reeeeeally get over the hump is:
    OC, DC, at least 2 above average OL, picture perfect health, a big time draft,......


    A dude showed up wearing a clown mask to the game. Call in the ****ing clowns.

    Zero excuses for this awful performance.

    When the texans play good teams, the texans show us that they sucked all along.

    What a pathetic showing today. Played like straight up losers.

    I get that the OL sucks, but Watson didn’t step into most of his throws and just checked down all game. He was inaccurate, partly because there was nothing on his throws. He was no savior today.

    The first 2 throws were on the money but it was just a bad sign nuk didn’t get the PI call and smith dropped one right in the bucket after that smith didn’t get another look

    Nuk could have caught that one as well.

    They make those 2 catches who knows what happens.

    Just a **** game all around.

    Can we go ahead and say the Clowney/Watt expirement is over? No hard feelings to Clowney but why even franchise him now?

    Because he's one of the best defensive player in the NFL and the team will be a LOT worse without him because he can't be replaced. It's not his fault the secondary was absolute trash.

    That’s funny because they haven’t been a LOT better since he’s been here. No one is really proclaiming the potential of Watt and Clowney anymore right? That was it. Peak performance you’re ever getting from that duo.

    That is what sucks. We come away from games like this knowing this franchise performed like losers. Nothing to respect about this performance.

    The Texans' defense carried them yet again this year, so it's odd that's the take you'd come away with. The secondary was in shambles by the end of the season, and I guess people just focus on what happened most recently. Without Clowney, the Texans lose at least 3 or 4 more games this season and don't make the playoffs.

    Yeah.... lost in the turd of a game was the fact that they were very aggressive at the outset, looking to exploit the Colts over the top.

    Definitely abandoned any semblance of trying to establish the running game. Only thing that worked consistently was Coutee on the underneath routes.

    Ironically, this is how most of the fans that detested the runs up the middle would have wanted the gameplan to be like all year.... Watson either was concussed or just flat-out off, because he got worse as the game went on in terms of stepping into his throws.

    Defense sucked, but u r missing the context. Our offense generated 7 fking points in a game. No fking way u can blame that both side of the team equally were at fault. Defense did a solid job limiting the damage but offense under bob was nonexistent. U cant win in playoffs with 7 fking points!

    If they're going to stick with Watt/Clowney, they need a fresh face/scheme for the defense. Even though the unit was solid as a whole, those two weren't as disruptive as their numbers or track record would predict... and they still don't seem to complement each other, or open up lanes for others, as you'd expect them to do.
