    *again

    You seem like a real sad individual. Lulz. I dont get your point. You dont think DW would do better under a Andy Reid or a John Harbaugh....?

    To wait til after a game where Deshaun had to mostly scramble and make things happen on his own is not the definition of ease or efficiency. That is not a good offensive scheme.


    Thats word from the horses mouth. You really might be an actual dickcheese.

    Deshaun Watson faced pressure on just 13.9 percent of his dropbacks against the Chargers. That’s the lowest rate of any game in his entire NFL career.

    He was facing Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram......

    Major props to the line today, held their own!

    Big win for the Texans today...on the road..against a very good San Diego team.

    Watson is phenomenal.

    I like watching games we’re our QB throws for 350 and 3tds.

    Need more of this stuff.

    Cmon BOB let Watson throw the damn ball he’s magic.

    I'm proud of this offensive line. Still not confident in Bill O'Brien playcalls and time management but as far getting the line fixed... bringing in Duke, Hyde and Stills too. He did really good there.

    I honestly think the play calling has been significantly better this year, particularly against NO and yesterday.

    Yes. Mr Phony. I have said multiple times he needs to get a real OC and a real OL coach. And now with the recent developments, a real GM. Take your phony "I'm angry because other people are angry" elsewhere.

    Good win. This was a banged up LAC team but these were games we’ve squandered away in the past and was looking the same to start.

    - Pass protection was adequate which honestly can’t remember the last time I was able to say that.

    - Watt is picking up some steam. Pass rush is going to be crucial in helping this secondary. JJo giving a 10 yard cushion every time is going to be an ongoing problem. Especially in 2 minute drills.

    - And FINALLY some contribution from the TEs. Them and Duke Johnson out of the backfield could be big weapons against defenses trying to take advantage of Howard/Sharping.

    While the pass protection was better... and should continue to get better as the line gets more reps together, I can't say I'm a fan of those ultra-deep routes that need a ton of time to develop.

    Yes, it is to our advantage as our WR's are going to be able to get open deeper downfield, but Watson really does have to wait awhile to get those HR type plays to develop.

    Regarding defense, getting consistent pressure up front is really what turned the game around. No secondary is good enough, even with all-pro corners, to cover WR's this day/age consistently without much pressure up front. Rivers getting hit and forcing him to get rid of the ball faster had a direct effect on everything. Mercilus has been so much better at his natural position.

    Still don’t love the play calling generally.

    So much Watson improvising... which is nice but will bite you at times too. (Eg see the Watson interception that the penalty called back).

    The screen bubbles that don’t work often enough still need a lot of work - especially since they can and should work more.

    While DW was moronic for throwing a backwards dud on that play... it shouldnt have been called anyway....

    Defense was really solid factoring in that the 7 of that turnover might not have happened. And factoring in the DBs still aren’t great.

    Oline looking better and that’s the biggest harbinger of how the season will ultimately go so that’s good.

    That was awesome. I love seeing the conversions on 2nd and long and 3rd and long but why were we not successful on 1st down much?

    Very pleasantly surprised to flip over from the Astros clinching the division to the Texans manning up and winning a good road game.
