^This. I think they were moving on from Cousins anyway. Even with him they were a middling team. This QB class coming up has talent. Might as well roll with the backup and losses will pile up.

Against a better opponent, I agree. We have hit the softest point of the schedule and that's not even debatable. This was a game we should have won. There's a couple more coming up, but I'm not buying into fool's gold. Let's see us win one on the road versus a team not rebuilding with a rookie QB, then I'll buy into the team.

Are we really beat our chest over a 1 TD game? Good thing Eddie hit all his FGs.

Yes, that one I agree. But if you are saying that they were just beating us with 4 and keeping 7 back, that's hogwash.

We aren't giving him any help. No TEs in-line, very limited RBs in pass protecting. The Texans were bringing overloaded or delayed pressure. Ickey has struggled, but he can only block one dude and the defense routinely brought two guys from that side.

I'm going to have to disagree. He lacks vision. There's times where he misses a lane and runs right up the backside of a linemen. I give him credit, he's better than he used to be, but he's still not the guy you want as your RB1.

Yes, but having to continually re-kick mind-fugs kickers. That was the real goal. Even good kickers can miss chip shots if they are rattled.

Ugh, that's the problem, these guys would be buried on the depth chart on many other teams. Promoting these guys up the depth chart because our starters suck is like saying which dog turd tastes the best. It's a lose-lose situation.

Who should be the one wanting crazy money here?

While true, you have to understand how unsettling this is.

Luvu is one of the few moves we have made correctly. Dude is a beast!

Crazy, I thought I was the only one seeing this. As much of a train wreck this offense is, the RB group as a whole is largely overlooked. Sanders is getting his fair share of flack, but leaning on Hubbard as your bell cow is frightening as heck.

The opponent out-gained us in our win today. Only by 5 yards, but hardly anything to be beating our chests over. The offense has some serious overhauling to do no matter who is calling the plays.

Despite the missed PAT, not many kickers could have held it together like that at the end. Yes, dude was INTENTIONALLY doing that for the Texans--probably told to do so. No time outs to freeze Eddie, so their player was jumping offside to make him re-kick. The STs coach/HC should be fined/suspended if found out that was done in attempt to freeze our kicker.

Got called out and changing the subject...that's you. You know you can be a Texans fan, right?

Third worst offensive output of the season this is positive news???? We've looked better offensively in some of our loses. Our defense came to play today and we did just enough to eek out a victory on offense.

Did Frank steal your wallet or something? I got you M.O. and it's disgusting. It would be funny if Frank is fired McCown becomes the HC.

Eh, 3 or 4 wins at most. All I know is this stretch of 3 games is key to any success. Got this first of the three today.

It's because it's the same playbook and the same players. Without significantly changing one or the other--possibly both, no obvious distinctions will materialize. Honestly, this is what it is this season. We can't burn the playbook and can't turn over a sizable chunk of the offensive players in season.

Defense fire!!!! They played beyond pie level today.

For real? Trade up busts continue.

Now the 0-fer is off the table, Fitts needs to get aggressive on the phones. We need to be big time SELLERS by the trade deadline.

Even with our meager offensive output, keeping our O's points the same in all games, we'd be 5-1 (with an OT) if we held all our opponents to 13 points.

15 points??????????????????????????????????? How about the best defensive effort of the season helped more.

If the entire clock runs down, that's fine. The mistake would be to take hardly no time off and kick it.
