The Texans aren't the Browns. The thing is, the Texans aren't a great defense though. They're good at limiting TE production and starting WR's, but average at covering slot guys and nearly the worst at covering RB's in the passing game... which I mean woof when going against the Pats. They're also average against the run, and considering what their line looks like, means we'll probably be seeing a ton of Lewis / White in this game running outside

N: Here's some poo poo: The Texans-Raiders game not only beat last year's same time-slot wildcard game for ratings, it also beat the Lions-Seahawks game. To no one's surprise, the FOX Sunday game between the Packers and Giants was the big winner of the weekend in terms of ratings and viewership. Raiders @ Texans: 26.9M Lions @ Seahawks: 21.9M Dolphins @ Steelers: ~27.5 (estimated) NYGiants @ Packers: 34.3M https://sportstvratings.com/mixed-ratings-bag-for-nfl-wild-card-saturday/7258/ V: I'm actually pretty surprised by this, though part of it is driven by the size of the markets. The Texans game averaged a 31 rating across Houston/SF+Oakland, meaning that on average across both DMAs, 31 percent of households with TVs watched the game. You can see a similar effect with the Giants and the Steelers.

Brock is literally the worst starting QB in football this season (not including spot starters, or maybe even including them). Like you could probably pop Case Keenum in this offense and it'd improve drastically There's always a chance he has some weird good game like he did against the Bears or Packers (and lol he only threw for 202 yards against the Packers, but no picks and two TD) but I wouldn't count on it The dude got yanked out of a game against the loving Jaguars defense Intruder fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Jan 9, 2017 |

According to McCarthy, Jordy has a shot to play if he practices Saturday, but I'm guessing it's just to make the Cowboys guess.

Like you could probably pop Case Keenum in this offense and it'd improve drastically if they'd been giving him first team reps, I'd say the team is actually better off starting Weeden. Although I'd still take Osweiler over Lindley, who for my money owns the title of "worst ever playoff starting QB"

I will say that if Brock plays a clean game like he did against Oakland and has similar production, I could see the Texans having a 50-60% chance of covering

The only possible saving grace is that the defense is playing significantly better than it was the first time they played the Patriots Watt played in that game but he was already broken by that time, supposedly he reinjured his back in the KC game but played anyway. AJ Bouye and Wilfork are also playing a lot better than they were at that point. But Kevin White is the team's best CB arguably and he's out so  The offensive line was a lot more in flux at that point too, not that it's a very good line right now though Both starting ILBs are poor in coverage so like Kalli said, yikes when it comes to RBs running routes e: Plus, you know, Brady's playing in this one Intruder fucked around with this message at 22:38 on Jan 9, 2017 |

I really doubt it ever was Wasn't that just Glazer speculating? Really need to get a better offensive coordinator next season though. The playcalling has been atrocious, both under Godsey and when BoB took over. Could argue that Brock's limitations put a shackle on playcalling though

Quick reads are out and the 4 winning QB's are the top 4: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/quick-reads/2017/wild-card-quick-reads Connor Cook: Cook's first pass of the second quarter was a completion to Michael Crabtree for a gain of 14 yards and a first down, his third first down of the game -- and his last until early in the fourth quarter. In between, in more than 30 minutes of football, he went 2-of-15 for 17 yards with two sacks that lost 16 yards. Yes, 1 net yard in 19 dropbacks. He had virtually no luck on deep balls, going 1-of-10 for 20 yards and an interception, with an 11th deep ball resulting in a DPI for 25 yards. He converted only four of his 18 third- and fourth-down plays, going 5-of-16 for 49 yards with the one DPI, one sack, and three interceptions

They didn't do Cook any favors. I think between the Lions, Giants and Raiders I saw more drops this weekend than I did in a regular season weekend.
