    Specifically, slot WR. Coutee has been hurt all season. Having 2 real WR on the field hurts the offense. Watson has had that 2 games all season...first half of the first Colts game and the Miami game. You can see the difference in the offense. Having at least that 3rd WR on the field makes a world of difference.

    The offense died when Fuller got hurt. Coutee helps but Fuller makes us a super bowl contender. Without him a pretender.

    IF he stays healthy next year, and we invest some $ and draft picks on the O line I really like our chances.

    This year we might get lucky and beat the Patriots or Steelers but we aren’t beating KC or LA.

    Who hasn't played a game all season on Washington's practice squad? No.

    You cannot count on Fuller...u have to draft another WR in the 2nd or 3rd round. OT or CB in round 1, Round 2 OT or CB and WR.

    It seems to be a wr heavy draft, but I haven't studied it much. I'd be alright with drafting a WR in the second.

    Sign a lineman, draft one in the first. In the second, go WR and CB.

    I'll be 40 next year and I have never seen a Houston NFL franchise play in a conference championship game. That is re-god-damn-diculously inept for a city.

    On the deep throw to DT in the 1st half, if that was Fuller he would have caught up to it. Maybe Deshaun was expecting DT to be faster. Dude is slow.

    Fuller and Coutee make a HUGE difference. I think we win this game today if one of those guys could have played. And then Carter went down also. We were really short handed. Coutee and fuller can get open in a hurry. We need that against the blitz.

    If so, why did they just let Ellington walk?

    Bruce Ellington hasn't exactly been lighting it up in Detroit. Not the answer.

    The offense has plenty of weapons, the problem this game was that Watson had a really bad game and his deep accuracy was non existent. If he hits a wide open Hopkins on one play or a wide open Demaryius Thomas on another play then no one is talking about WR's.

    BOB's game plan was awful as usual, but today Watson just didn't show up.

    Texans have 2 RB's, 2 wide receivers and 3 tight ends, but one guy going down derails the whole system? that's not good.

    I'd take his 5 catches per game in a broken Detroit offense right about now. Wouldn't you?
