Houston Texans
Get well soon, Stefon.
We were all prepared for the worst when we saw Stefon Diggs come up hobbling after a non-contact injury on the infamously unfriendly field of NRG Stadium. And now the hammer has been dropped.
Per DeMeco Ryans at his Tuesday press conference, and confirmed by several other members of the Houston sports media, Stefon Diggs has torn his ACL and will miss the remainder of the season.
Remember just a scant two months ago how we were laughing at the embarrassment of riches the Houston Texans had at wide receiver? “We just have too many good...

A victory, however costly, however stressful, is a victory nevertheless.
The Day After the Day After...when the raw, immediate emotions from the aftermath of a game diminish into the realm of clarity and the proverbial (or literal) hangover no longer haunts the mind. With that, a review of Week 8:
WR depth: Coming into the season, the WR room rated as the strongest overall group on the team. With Diggs, Collins and Dell at the top three slots, the quality of depth on the roster portended either a lot of happy WRs stat-wise, or some quality trade bait for the...

Ewwwwwwww...
It’s the last game of week 8. Now that we’ve sufficiently gotten over that coronary-inducing game between the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts yesterday, let’s sneak into football kitchen and have a midnight snack of some of the most bland and unappetizing football you might see all season.
It’s the hapless New York Giants of New Jersey traveling west to face the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Tune in folks, it’s going to be a football game.
Who: New York Giants (2-5) at Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2)

Where is the smart money going on Thursday night?
The Houston Texans are back on prime time football on Thursday night and they take on a team that surprisingly drummed them last season in the New York Jets. The Jets have been a mess all season long. They’ve fired their coach, changed play callers, traded for a star wide receiver, and had prominent hold outs on defense. The one constant for the Jets this year has been chaos.
Chaos is generally not good for gamblers. While the teams have mirror images as records (6-2 vs. 2-6) there is enough chaos...

Can Demeco Ryans keep it that way?
Houston Texans head coach Demeco Ryans currently has his defense ranked #2 in the league in yards allowed per game at 280.3. They’re 3rd in total sacks with 27.0, 7th against the pass, 8th in turnovers, and 15th against the run.
In yesterday’s sweep of the Indianapolis Colts, the potency of the Texans’ D was on display:
5 sacks
2 takeaways
10 passes defensed
11/13 (85%) on 3rd down
And only 20 points surrendered, which is below the Baby Horses per game average of 21.9 and H-Town’s of 22.4.
And, unlike the Hail...

What was the good, bad, and ugly from Sunday’s close victory?
The Houston Texans do what they do best on Sunday. They won another close game. The one score win was the 10th such win in the DeMeco Ryans era as he has an excellent winning percentage in such games. I suppose we could argue that it is a sustainable model for victory, but it doesn’t feel like it. It was yet another game where a few key plays made the game closer than it should have been. More on that later.
There was obviously a ton of good and...

That has not been the case as the San Francisco 49ers are 3-4 and weighted down by an unrelenting onslaught of injuries. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys are just.... well... bad.
As a Bay Area resident, nothing riles this area up more than playing the Cowboys. It’s a game that captures the attention and imagination of a nation with cross-country intrigue. Quite possibly 49ers fans enjoy a win over the Cowboys more...

Obviously, the end result to these games are the main story and should always be the main story. Yes, this game is yet another divisional win for the Texans. They are 3-0 in the division and have a key tiebreaker against the Colts. So, what follows might seem harsh. It’s also something I will address when we get to the good, bad, and ugly during the Value of Things segment. It deserves to be repeated.
