[Whatever]

Yup, the offense totally wasted our third straight great defensive effort. Credit the Texans with playing some great defense, too, though, and forcing two turnovers was big for them. Even when we had guys open, Andy missed a couple of throws and our receivers couldn't make routine catches. We had some head scratchingly awful playcalling from Hue, who seems to be showing a tendency in these big games to try and make it too much about his gimmick plays instead of running the ball enough to keep the defense honest. Seriously, a reverse from the Houston 25 when we did the same thing the week before against the Browns? Tackle eligible play action on 1st @10 with a minute left? We also had our typical rash of offensive penalties, and the Texans D was too good tonight for us to overcome them. Eric Winston was awful and got away with several totally blatant holds on Watt. Congrats to the Texans, as they outplayed us and deserved the W tonight. As for us, the primetime whispers will creep in again and break out into full song if we lose in AZ.
