    LOL, yeah, I'm pretty sure that guy doesn't know anything about football and should probably stick to basketball.

    Tampa, Falcons, Indy. Could easily be 1-4 after 5 weeks.

    Through 2 games the vaunted Texans pass rush hasn't exactly been setting the world on fire either. One player who seemingly gets a pass from Texans fans is Cush who hasn't been the same player for like 3 years now but still gets the "with a healthy Cushing....." excuse. Bright sides so far is JJ is still JJ, Kevin Johnson makes JJO sucking ok and Clowney looks healthy.

    The Hoyer promotion and yank is one of the more questionable decisions in this franchises history. Just bizarre.

    And we could also easily be 3-2. We have yet to see what our full team looks like on the field. If after Indy we are 1-4 or 0-5, then we can hit the panic button and just wait for that #1 pick. Until then I'll let Mallett get comfortable with the starters, and hope the rest of the Offense can get healthy quickly.

    If people expected 300 yards and 2 TDs for either of our QBs without Foster, you're delirious. In all honesty, I was expecting the defense to play a little better than they have. If we have to rely on our O to win games, then it's going to be a loooooong year.

    Also, people keep talking about drafting a QB early next year. I think this team needs a true Foster replacement/backup, and definitely some OL help. No more 7th Rounders please. Blue can't even beat out freaking Chicken & Shrimp.

    The Texans absolutely must pick up a 3rd TE tomorrow, Fauria is still out there, IMO Rick Smith needs to have made that phone call already.

    Total indictment on Mercilus' lack of presence. He's just a guy out there.

    Well you'd always know which direction the way was going to go if you did.

    You know how a lot of teams have these guys with big numbers and people say, "Well, that's because Player X is taking all the attention so they are free to make plays." That seemed to never happen with the Texans even though JJ Watt has been the best defensive player for years now.

    Clowney is still playing like a rookie....a really good rookie, but he's still making mistakes. Basically everyone else is just a guy or worse.

    You are dumbass.

    Tell me how many Cam Newtons are in the NFL....in the last 40 years or ever? ONE. He is a freakish athlete. You can draft QBs of similar stature and size....doesnt mean they can play in the NFL.

    Most teams have figured how to play against that gimmicky option except us. in 2011, we had demeco shadowing cam. how did that work out? annexation of puerto rico.

    I wonder if tampa bay will bring out the double wing just for us.

    Um...u dont know much about football...do you? Winston is not a runner.

    As for Cam, The Panthers made it to the divisional round of the playoffs...2 years in a row. Cam is tough to play against.....has nothing to do with "figuring out" the read option. Sure has work for Russell Wilson.....hasn't it?

    my double wing comment wasn't implying that the crab savant is a runner. infact, double wing uses 'wing backs'. it was a joke that the simplest offenses have demoralized us, including last week and this week. talk about things going over your head. =/

    We need more than a TE Bobbythegreat. The oline is falling apart as we speak. Brown most definitely can't miss another game, who is going to replace Adams, ( even he is trash anyway ). We also can not rush Foster back, so we need to go ahead and pick up P. Thomas or R. Rice. Blue, Polk and Grimes are horrendous.

    Man I hate to say this early in a season but we're doomed.

    Honestly, and I know there will be people saying "yeah, but he couldn't find a job anywhere else!!!!", but give Chris Myers a call tomorrow and sign him.

    Move Ben Jones to left guard where he was and pray Brown heals quickly. That is 1,000x better than the garbage we have now. We literally started the game with two starters that wouldn't make most rosters. Then one of them got hurt and we were screwed even more.
