    You are assuming the texans are good team and can win 2 games at home. Do you really think with this overall team they can do that?

    Watson was fine. 310 yards on 32 attempts. 2-1 td-int

    He's playing with a garbage coach and ol

    Kubiak won a Superbowl a couple years after leaving this cursed franchise.

    If you can’t see Watson making mistakes I don’t know what to say. Take those blinders off and place blame on those who need it, coaching staff AND Watson. Doesn’t mean he can’t get better but he was up and down this game and pretty much down in the first.

    He's definitely made mistakes. He is basically a rookie too

    it's not Watson's fault if that's what you're implying. Shtty oline committing penalty after penalty. Hell even a player on a bench manage to fked it up. Coach needs to b fired.

    Agreed, I just hope he doesn’t flame out.

    I thought it couldn’t get worse than Kubiak. I really think O’Brien is getting there.

    yea he did make mistake, but if you have a sht oline that can't protect and negates your big throws with penalties, and a Coach that calls the most garbage plays to kill your drives. Idk, it's like Watson decided to start his career on the highest level of difficulty.

    My favorite was when they were first and goal at the 9 and BOB sent two receivers into the end zone. Both ended up being double covered and Watson tried to dance around long enough to give one of them time to break away from two guys. Shockingly that didn’t work.

    FG instead of touchdown, Texans lose.

    I mean at least with the two screen passes in a row he could think he was tricking the defense because nobody would expect THAT. But I don’t see any logic in calling for a two receiver pass play in a goal line situation.

    and you have to use your TEs and RBs in the passing game to get them to back off. almost every time I see a play to a TE it's a completed pass or he was in position to make the grab.

    Not going to make excuses for him, some of the pressure was his fault, some the O-line. Some bad coaching and some bad decisions by himself.

    I don’t blame O’Brien as much as others. Kubiak and Capers all looked like sundowning geriatrics snoozing at the bingo table when it came to in-game decision making. Face it people the franchise is cursed. Cal McNair is running around the building with his hair on fire asking people if they are the Key Master.

    Stop following the Texans and enjoy the greatness that the Astros and Rockets are earning for our city.

    It wasn't Watson's fault to call that dumb ass Punt coverage play. It wasn't Watson's fault Clowney acted like an idiot on the sideline and got a penalty when he wasn't even playing. This all COACHING. Undisciplined..................team.

    I somewhat agree. He’s definitely making mistakes, but it’s kind of amazing how well he did with the line play in front of him. His decision making needs work, and he needs to control the ball better, but the coaching and the line are doing him no favors at all. Having said that, it was still just a so-so game from Watson. He needs to improve.

    The thing is players will make mistakes...

    But we lose to a backup QB missing three linemen.

    How we are not prepared to beat Gabbert I have no idea. We basically played into their preferred method of play. Should have made the game a shootout, I guarantee we win it then.
