Can you not kneel the ball every flipping time. Throw a pass maybe get lucky

what are you on drugs or something?

 

u want them to run a play and pass from their own 20 vs the best defense in the league with 5 seconds left?

 

that would literally be the dumbest possible thing a football team can do.

 

The cowboys tried that against at washington in 2010 or 2011 can't remember...they tried to run a quick out and see if they could make something happen and they fumbled and it was picked up and returned for a td.

Has there been a single penalty against Houston? Doesn’t seem like it.

Penalties, or lack thereof, aren’t holding us back

[buffalo2218]

Horrible thought, McDermott only employed because of Josh. Even worse? Pegula will never pull the trigger til it's too late

Another early/mid playoff bounce! There is NO WAY this team can win 3 games in a row in playoffs.

I never knew games ended at halftime.

Not sure why, but all of these vets have regressed BADLY this year.

I don't know man. We'll get into the playoffs as a wildcard but what's the point. We have absolutely no chance of doing anything once we're there. Abysmal defense and an offense that isn't remotely built to win shootouts. The opposite of complementary football.

This defense is so, so bad. One of the worst offenses in the league should have 30 if not for errant throws to wide open receivers under no duress.

6 times this season Texans didn’t score 20 entire game. They have that half with Davis Mills…

Not even a flag that I've seen. Nothing even declined! You got to wonder!

Bernard has been playing with a bad ankle. The rest have no excuses.

[Success]

I'm kind of stunned at how bad the D is.

 

I feel like a good DC could at least make them average.  The personnel CAN'T be as bad as it looks.

 

[5ths the charm]

We are wasting an mvp once in a lifetime qb with a pedestrian off coordinator and defensive coach who can't create a defense that works

And should have more.

[Guns N' Rosen]

Being neck&neck with a QB of Mills' stature is a losing proposition

On pace to give up 40 to one of the very worst offenses in the league. That scheming on that final drive is why I think that the Bills will never get to the promised land with Mcdermott.

Just far too much spacing allowed in the red zone on that last call. Far too much. If your secondary is gonna play it that way blitz the house and try to get a free rusher before the play develops. Inexcusable.

[0017]

Is this defense bad enough to get McD fired?!? God I hope so!!!

Wow, you have the best QB on the planet, and you don't even attempt a BigBen?

 Need a Jerry Butler for one of those!!

Defense found ways to force turnovers LY, not so much lately.  

 

Unfortunately Houston doesnt tend to turn it over.  Need better fundamental tackling.

[Roundybout]

Once you realize this entire roster is built to stop the Chiefs five years ago, it makes much more sense.

How about the guy who is building the roster?

He builds the roster how McD want it built
