    The TD, that wasn't because of alignment, was my fave. Escaped out of trouble and found the laptop. They lost but the offense did very good things moving the ball all game long. They could have kept scoring pace without some of the running plays.
    But I'm one of those that wanted to run the ball more so I can't complain. Me: 2 yards out for a TD, this is easy. He will fall forward and get in. Texans Oline: oops.

    This right here is a huge stat

    3rd & long don't seem as painful anymore with a QB who can throw like this

    I’ll be the first to say I was disappointed at the last FU win last year.. but turns out we may have saved ourselves from ourselves truly

    Pretty funny seeing fans compare the QB’s and talk about how good Nico Collins and Woods are. You weren’t heading that before the season started. I wonder why..?

    Nice has shown plenty of flashes. But is always hurt, season is still young.
    Woods has been a good receiver before, at least when healthy

    Damn S2 score. CJ will never be able to read a defense.

    PFF and many other publications had the Texans as the worst receiving core in the league. I’m not saying those guys “WR” didn’t put in work to get better.. but having #7 under the helm is a big reason why now there to be considered having weapons when previous before the season they weren’t.

    And thats the point... All we heard was how bad Nico and Woods were as a receiving core. You didn't hear that about Indy and people thought the Panthers was blah too.

    Bryce Young's receiving core still "sucks"

    and now Houston's WR team is better than Indys.

    That has become the national perception.

    I remember making the same excuses for Ryan Mallet, Brock Osweiler, etc when I was upset how my team was doing.

    Obviously, the Texans do need to upgrade, but CJ is showing you he can be successful with subpar talent.

    Thats a pretty big deal.

    I’m sorry, but no.
    Health is the main factor.
    I know a lot of you guys don’t actually watch football but Nick has had some good games when healthy and Woods has a long track record of success before his injury

    Using PFF ranking doesn’t help your argument when it’s based off cumulative stats from previous season where both were hurt or coming off injury.

    PFF is a good tool but there’s not much gray area when there should be for rankings.
