Sigh.

I hope Mercilus won't be a long term thing, because Watt looks done for the season.

Unbelievable, but totally believable being a Houston fan.

Hey, at least Watson looks really good, so we have that to be optimistic about I guess.

Well the rollercoaster season continues. I was pretty optimistic for a couple weeks there and now our defense is completely torn apart. In past years this would be absolutely season destroying. It may turn out to be but i certainly have felt we have been transitioning into an offensive team the last month. Thats certainly the case now.

Cunningham and Cole get a chance to make a name for themselves, Clowney is going to have to be a monster and Watson is carrying the hopes now. Well see...

Clowney being blatantly held but it's okay, no need to call that.

I miss having a good defense that can tackle :(

Good thing we can still get turnovers, but letting the Browns march down the field is quite sad.

Holy crap, can our players stop getting hurt? We're going to lose our entire defense before the bye week gets here.

Braxton Miller sighting!

Would have liked to see Foreman get the ball after his big run but whatever.

I know our special teams is complete ass, it always has been, but I'm not a big fan of having Fuller returning punts. We have enough injuries already, don't want to see him getting hurt on a return.

Although if he wants to break off a 90+ yard return for a TD I will gladly accept it.

Bye week blues about to hit.

Has been so enjoyable watching Watson go about it i already can't wait for next week.

Its going to be a different type of enjoyment this year watching our guys. Clearly the division is up for grabs again. I probably would've taken 3-3 at this point before the start of the season when you consider we had the Chiefs and Pats on the slate. Barring the week one disaster (which did force Watson on us thankfully) its been a really solid start. We should have beat the Pats and been 4-2.

Oh how depressing it would be right now with the defense decimated if Watson wasn't here.

Hoping to try and get to the game in Seattle next week, see how we go.

Struggling to handle that one. I thought the NE game was tough to take.

Second extremely tough road game we've lost in the last 30 seconds due to blown secondary coverages. Bouye is sorely missed.

Watson is the real deal, I'm still pretty sore about this but that game had it all, was an absolute epic. We need to bounce back and crush the colts next week but we can't let any more slip. Road games against the Rams and Ravens still loom large, I'm worried we are going to be a team that can cause some damage stuck on the outside looking in.

Was a tough loss, no doubt. I pretty much saw it coming, but still sucks. We lost Covington for the season now too, so the injuries are really piling up on the defensive side.

Just when our offense starts to play at a high level and our rookie QB looks like a stud.

Piss tits.

Remember when we had an exciting offense all of a sudden?

Welp...it was fun for a while.

I know Watson is really good, but I can't fathom how Savage is this bad.

It's really quite impressive.

This sums up the Texans game today, I think:

I’m getting sick of the national media pushing the “Kaepernick to Houston” narrative.

Those social media posts he made in 2015 mocking the city of Houston while people were dying in flooding should have killed any chance of him ever getting paid to play here.

I don’t care about the kneeling, and I don’t care if he does or does not get another NFL job, I just don’t want him here. The picture he used of flooded vehicles was taken near me. I have not liked the guy since then.
