The Giants went up 20-3 thanks to Houston’s secondary playing soft zone coverage and giving up yards on quick DeAndre Hopkins Jersey White , easy crossing routes that didn’t allow the Texans’ pass rush to get there in time to avoid them getting beat in man coverage or the pass rush not getting there at all. From there, J.J. Watt tried to save the Texans’ season on his own. He forced field goals with pressures, made tackles for a loss, strip-sacked Eli Manning, and worked replacement tackle Chad Wheeler with a flurry of inside moves. Houston’s offense kicked a bunch of field goals and even scored a touchdown while the Giants went Bill O’Brien conservative and sat on the ball for the rest of the game. Houston managed to get back within a score with some actual downfield throwing. Once the Giants had to try and score again, they did and did so immediately, making the game 27-15 and effectively ending the game. At 0-3, the Texans’ season is pretty much over. 183 teams have started 0-3. Only 2.7% of all teams who started 0-3 made the NFL Playoffs. Of those four teams, the best record was 11-5. In a tougher AFC South, this feat looks impossible at the moment. At least J.J. Watt’s back. I don’t know. I’m going to go for a walk. I’ll have more to say tomorrow. The silly season has officially begun"The most yawn-inducing, bore-ville-esque super bowl is in the books and once again Seantrel Henderson Jersey , Houston Texans’ head coach Bill O’Brien can brag that his coaching mentor has another ring. What does that mean for the rest of us? All of the NFL-centric media is now turned to wild speculation, poorly informed imaginings and I-just-pulled-this-outta-my-backside “journalism”. Including, but not limited to, mock drafts, free agent predictions, 2019 season results and possibly even some fashion tips... Over at ESPN.com, they’ve kindly included the Houston Texans not once, but twice in their Ten Bold Predictions for next season. The first falls into a ‘fat chance’ category, although they make a good argument to get some buy-in:The Texans will sign Le’Veon Bell to a deal that eclipses Todd Gurley’sFirst off, never in the history of ever have the Texans brass shown any signs of throwing crazy money at players who are anything but team guys. Sure, they’ll toss the gross national product of a third world country at guys like [NAME REDACTED] Lamar Miller Jersey , but someone who could legitimately help the team reach the next level doesn’t stand a chance if he doesn’t pass the locker room cancer sniff test. So, we’ll move along... Next up, they have the Texans ruling the AFC roost, but bowing at the altar of Brees soon thereafter, kind of like how they ruled the AFC South for all of 6 days recently... The Saints will defeat the Texans in Super Bowl LIVWhile this is a far more likely scenario, particularly if general manager Brian Gaine can fix the offensive line, the injury bug stops biting a third of the starting depth chart and Bill O’Brien’s newest assistant turned offensive coordinator can actually call actionable plays when the game is on the line, it still remains to be seen. Over at Forbes.com, a site not exactly known for dynamic football coverage, they took the approach of recapping what most already know prior to leaning into any predictionsHouston Texans) Off-Season Targets The folks at BleacherReport.com - a site more often associated with football than Forbes.com - just ran their first 7 round mock draft and brought the Texans some interesting choices: The Pick: Cody Ford, OL Jadeveon Clowney Jersey , OklahomaRound Two:Round Three:Round Four: The pick isn’t listed, which begs the assumption they’re assuming Houston makes a tradeRound Five: Round Six:Round Seven: Also not listed, so BR is expecting Gaine and co. to make some trades with later picks. While the head scratching is full-on with a few of these picks, seeing Cody Ford in battle redwouldn’t suck and watching Houston use some draft capital to land a corner and a wide out in the second round makes sense. And, anyone who has been paying attention knows the Texans would never let a draft go by without picking an edge rusher, hence the Ben Banogu selection. Seeing Rodney Anderson (hopefully a fully recovered from season ending knee injury Rodney) do this for Houston would be nice too:But, the off-season is long, the shelf-life of predictions and mock drafts are short and we just don’t know how things will shake out between now and the start of training camp.
