Stop the blame. I see how everyone is like Whoohoo when they won but the fingers start pointing when someone has a bad day. Im proud of our Texans.

No really. Jacoby is terrible. We would have won the game if not for the muffed punt.

The two INTs in the 4th didn't help, but that happens. Muffed punts aren't supposed to happen. And it lead to a raven TD.

If he's so terrible, why did the coach make him play instead of anybody else?

The dropped ko return did nothing as he recovered it. He was nervous. You could tell.

Without the muffed punt and gift wrapped TD, the whole game is changed. We are not having to throw into the coverages that TJ did. We are either leading or tied an Arian probably runs for 200 against that vaunted defense.

Didn't he lose two and barely hold on to one?

No he only lost one, held on to another one, and recovered somebody else's fumble.

Gotcha. Without those drops those drives could have produced some points. If Houston was healthier they would have won that game.

My best friend who lives in Chicago told me, "Your QB had such a bad game. It was inexucsable" (he watched the whole thing, I was waiting for people at the marathon.

I told him that was our 3rd string QB. He became jealous quickly.

If you have ever played sports competetively, you'd all understand that ANY athlete, will have had a crappy day where nothing goes right, or have made a bad blunder, especially under pressure and all eyes on you. You would also understand that in near freezing weather, muscles tighten, lungs, face and ears burn and in general it affects how you play if you're not acclimated like the texans who is used to warmer weather. Not that they should use weather as an excuse, but given the circumstances, I think they did a good job. You can tell they didn't have the same momentum and mojo as in the previous game, but they had some great plays out there.
