lol I still can't believe the Texans a) actually honest to god should have won a meaningful game in Foxborough and b) pissed it away anyway

That final Pats drive was brutal, especially the dropped pick that was basically a gimme game winner

I feel like the Texans could win this division if they had a good coach. Unfortunately we should probably just congratulate the Titans right now.

3rd and 1, a first down lets us kill the clock, good thing we drafted a big short yardage back

I thought my favorite addition in JAX was going to be A.J Bouye thanks to his pairing with Ramsey, but Calais Campbell is my dude right now. That D line has crazy talent and most of them can get to the ball.

No reason for it to have gotten to that point anyway. The Texans on that final drive allowed conversions of 3rd and 12 and 3rd and 18, forced a fumble but didn't recover it, and had a game winning pick dropped by an undrafted safety who is famous for being on Hard Knocks and having Charles James tell him to shape the gently caress up. Then when they got the ball back they completed a pass to around midfield with 13 seconds left while down a FG and let it tick down to 3 before calling timeout (I know Watson was signalling, but O'Brien should have been calling it from the sideline)

I'm not mad about the call on the TD because Cooks very clearly had a catch and only went to the ground because he had toe tapped and the byzantine rules of the NFL make it a no-catch

Very true, the game was ours to win but we choked when it mattered the most. Oh well, at least it's better than giving up at halftime and getting spanked like we've had happen before. Still real excited to watch Watson, in spite of our loss.

Watson is 100% the reason I'm watching games this year. He looked fantastic and I'm very excited to watch him grow. If he turns out to be a great player, even if we go 4-12 and give up a top 5 pick, that trade will be absolutely worth it.

Do you guys think that the Texans will retain BOB if they have a bad record but Watson continues to be electric?

Baseball should always be a bigger priority as it is the best sport

I'd trade away both Rockets titles and a future Texans title to have the Astros win it all this year

Probably. Also if Watson is electric they'll keep Rick Smith forever which makes me cringe but they're probably doing that anyway

I have had a slow day at work so I've been reading up on football/Jaguars news and keep seeing all this poo poo about how the Jaguars may be 3-1 going into October and how that will be such a big deal (first time in 10 years and so on), and that the Jaguars are favored on the road for the first time in like three years. I keep thinking "The Jets just trounced the Dolphins; the Jaguars are coming home from London and are banged up..... slow your loving roll".

So now I have to assume that everyone is expecting the Jaguars to win so they will find a way to get embarrassed by the lowly Jets.

So uh, the ref's completely hosed the Jaguars in the Jets game. Powell got a 75 yard TD because they somehow missed that he tripped over a Jaguar player, both live on the field and in the replay, where it is glaringly obvious...
Later, they missed a blindside block on a punt, but called taunting on the Jaguars player who got blindside blocked because he got upset that he got blindside blocked.

gently caress the refs.
