Plus it's one game.

Let's give RGIII the benefit of the doubt, he barely played enough during the pre-season to jell with his new WR's. He is learning a new system and how to play in the pocket, he didn't play in a pro style offense in college like Luck. Last year he was rushed from major injury. just saying, let's give him a chance and a few games before turning against him.

Really like K. Robinson. Guy has some wheels.

Hopefully we've found our two ILBs for years to come.

I worry though that Robinson's durability is on par with the likes of Sam Bradford.

I agree the defense wasn't the problem, special teams cost them 8 points ..... fumbles cost them ??? points. A slow thinking QB, and a bad O-line cost them points too. RGIII holds the ball forever, he rarely makes quick down field throws.

That is irrefutable!

He needs to get the ball out a lot faster, that's the learn curve. It's mental like someone said today. Needs to read better before the snap, anticipate where we wants to go, and trust his eyes.

The defense played well, and played better than most expected. That being said, it was dissapointing that the defense had such a hard time getting off the field in the fourth quarter. I'm sure every fan of every bad team feels this way, but for the bulk of the Haslett era, it has felt as though the defense has struggled making quick fourth quarter stops when the game is still winnable. Houston had the ball for over 13 minutes in the 4th quarter and racked up nearly as many yards as they had in the previous three quarters combined.

Can't complain about the defense yesterday. They gave up 10 points. Yeah Rambo still sucks but there was so many positives about yesterday. We have a legit ILB in Robinson. He looks like a complete football player and he's only going to get better.

I cannot believe i am happy with the D - major league happy, and the O has got my hopes dashed. Wtf? Complete and opposite thoughts that I had in July

[CrustyRedskin]

Nothing like a 9 game losing streak!!!! We're going streaking follow me to the quad!!!!!!

[Chico23231]

So reed got an MRI scheduled for tomorrow? Smh, some ole sh$t

The game plan was obvious, get the ball out quick. 5-7 step drops all day against Watt is suicide.

I was actually surprised to learn that last year the Texans were actually near the bottom the league in sacks. I guess before (and sorta with) Clowney it's been Watt....and some other guys.
