    What's Jonathan cooper doing these days? Offensive line is horrible with no decent depth.

    Nooo Brock was running on quite a few drop backs. We played just about an all around bad game. Only bright things I can take away from this game is CJ is coming alive, Mercilus is still pretty good, Clowney started playing once he got mad (still has ways since he's basically taking over for Watt), and Jaelen can be productive.

    CAR gets more benefit of any doubt anyway.

    Texans usually suck against good competition.

    I was just saying Brock had chances.

    When he had time, he sucked.

    That's actually not true, when he had time, he was good. When he was pressured, he got happy feet and he was highly inaccurate. He was pressured A LOT.....but that's to be expected, at least he didn't fumble 3 times like Aaron Rodgers did or throw 3 picks like Scam Newton did against this elite Vikings defense.

    Two ****in' peas in a pod.

    OB: It starts with me. I need to coach better.
    QB: It starts with me. I need to play better.

    Quarterbacks get paid the big bucks to make plays regardless of how the OLine does...our OL is not good, but it's also not the worst in the league. The QB still needs to change the play at the line, hot routes, quick decisions, etc... That's the whole point, and that's why QBs are so valuable. Brock definitely doesnt do anything to help his cause...it's the reason we got rid of a player like Hoyer. Except, Hoyer has had 2 very solid games for the Bears (who's OL is arguably worse than ours).

    I know you are arguably the world's 2nd biggest Hoyer fan behind Mr. Clutch, but Hoyer and the Bears were held to 23 points against the Colts.....the 2nd fewest points scored against them this season. Hype it up if you like, but not looking terrible against the worst defense in the NFL.....while still losing, isn't impressive. We'll see how your boy does in 2 weeks vs the Vikings.

    At least Brock played well against NE when he was blitzed TWICE the entire game.... wait, he sucked that game too.

    I agree Brock has to make plays regardless but I think we do actually have one of the worst olines in the league (right now). It's only so much he can do if he's not getting time. Maybe we need to look for shorter routes for Nuk...or get him into the slot. Run screens for Lamar. We need to change some things around but again it won't matter if he doesn't have time.

    LOL so you're going to move the goalpost after I point out that you're wrong? Seems solid.

    Im calling it as I see it...Hoyer still did decent regardless of how you want to justify it.

    I disagree. Seemed like he was the only receiver he could go to in the first half. If I'm not mistaken he moved the chains 2 or 3 times. And he's 3rd on the depth chart. So...

    I know, and I shouldn't pick on you just because you don't see it accurately.

    Well I had this game pegged as a solid L coming in so nothing that went down came as a surprise to me. I even expected the BoB & Osweiler collective post game excuse "I need to coach/play better". I've done with the Texans what I've done with the Rockets - that is I'll believe in them when they show me something on the field. Until then, talk is cheap.

    The goalpost is Brock's sucking. Which is what he's done pretty much every game regardless of pressure.

    Teams have scouted the deep ball and Brock has regressed.

    Fairweather fans are fans who are only fans when a team is good. Complaining that this franchise has done jack sh*t since it's existence and this current group looks mediocre does not make one Fairweather. We still watch games and root for the team.

    The Colts were giving up 275 yards per game through the air...Hoyer, with his terrible OL, passed for almost 400. Reality sucks when youre wrong. :(

    LOL keep standing by your man. I wouldn't expect any different from you or Mr. Clutch when it comes to Hoyer.
