    Too conservative with OL reinforcements. Oh well, on to the next...

    3 sacks in the last 4 games. All 3 against the Steelers.

    That's not going to win you games consistently.

    I don't think anyone is mad. Just disappointed.

    Seeing how the defense couldn't really stop the Falcons, they should have either score early or run the clock down a little more on the last drive.

    Mainly for Slowik. Maybe he will stay another year or two.

    Think Bobby screwed up and grabbed the Davis Mills game plan

    I need the Astros to win tonight to get this disgusting feeling to go away. I'm really not trying to be mad but we should have won this game.

    We should be upset too. Winnable games need to be won, especially without our own 1st next year. We need to win and we need the Browns to lose or we made a bad choice in which pick we sent for 1.3

    Bobby way too conservative and played way too slow on last drive - don’t eat up that much clock when they only need a FG to beat you and will get ball back with almost 2min. Defense already got you 2 turnovers and covered your weak ass 3 and outs

    On the bright side, Texans hold Falcons rushing attack to 2.7 yards and they ran it 36 times.
    I'm leaving with something.

    Reality check loss to the players and coaches. Got to respect your opponent. I really don't think they respected the Falcons today and thought conservative offense would be enough.

    Eh, Defense had 2 TOs and offense got 3 points off that.

    Defense was not elite today obviously but it was good enough to win the game.

    I put this more on the offense today. One TD and multiple stalled drives for FGs, eventually it comes back to bite you.

    I disagree. I thought we should’ve used more time. The play before the 2 minute warning was not needed.

    Game was on Slowik. He was way to conservative and it costs the Texans. If anyone wonders why Pierce ran well at the end of the game, it’s because they thought the Texans would pass.

    This one is on Slowik. Defense did enough to win, but when there was a distinct opportunity to separate yourself after the big TO on their side of the field, he opted to go ultra conservative. You don't take the ball out of Stroud's hands in that situation. Oh well, everything is a learning experience. On to the next one.

    Bummer. I just checked my calendar and I've got "watch grass grow" scheduled instead
