We don't need to make excuses. We lost. We didn't play well on offense. Penalties and drops were the story of the game. Dalton did what he could, and missed a few throws. The overthrow on the deep ball has been rare this year.. not sure he even saw Joseph.
If you think about it, the Texans had a pretty good deal. They got a bye week in which the team they were going against after the bye played Thursday night. That means they had an extra 3 days to dissect the most recent film on our offense. They did a good job. Their corners played a hell of a game. The Texans D was supposed to be one of the best defenses in the league this year, and they showed it last night.
While its unfortunate we lost to the Texans on, heaven forbid, a primetime stage, its not the end of the season.
When we win, they say we need to do it in the playoffs, and the wins don't matter. The same goes for when we lose... it doesn't matter until the playoffs.
Brush this loss off, move on, and lets get to the playoffs... regular season wins don't matter to Bengal detractors, and regular season losses shouldn't either.
The good news is we are still easily the 2nd seed in the AFC. Let's face it, to get to the superbowl we will need to win a game at home, and win a game in Foxboro, there just isn't any other way.
