I'll say it again - McDermott HAS TO THROW THE CHALLENGE FLAG.
I've been a supporter, but that's terrible in-game awareness. That can't happen. It's a different game right now if that's a 1st down.
I'm sick to my stomach about that lack of challenge. He's trying to save timeouts?
The press needs to ask 10 questions about that today, and then a dozen questions tomorrow. There is NO excuse for that.
It's possible - though if I'm not mistaken, we've been better against the pass than we have against the run. With Mixon still out, it might be kind of a wash.
If one of Bernard or Johnson actually plays, that will help too. Both would be amazing.
Texans don't look to be in great shape, though. I don't know their roster that well, so not sure who the key guys are - but their injury list is longer than ours.
Those are just stats. He disappeared the 2nd half of last season and against KC in the playoffs - and there is a lot to be said for team chemistry, fewer distractions, and playing w/ joy for the game.
I'm bummed that Vikings fans were right about Diggs.
I loved how he was his first few years here - really, right up until that Cincy playoff game. He helped change the culture.
But then he just became the malcontent diva that everyone said he'd be.
I just didn't like losing in primetime like that - but it didn't change my outlook on the season.
The 1 seed is still on the table, imo. The AFC isn't as strong as I thought it would be.
