Only 1 sack given up on almost 35 drop backs, 5.6 yards per carry for 141 yards total rushing. Yes, Dallas D is not great, but that's improvement at OL.

Blowout W on Monday Night... maybe our first ever? Texans now 90% to win AFC South. All is good. Lots to fix but get to fix while winning and heading to playoffs. Offense leaving too many points on the field, defense still susceptible to big hit plays. Our draft picture is already coming into focus.

Tunsil is a retard.  And that cost me about all sorts of points and a loss in my fantasy game (that I lost by two points) because I have Collins and Stroud.

2 TDs -- 12 points

Receiving yards -- 7.7 points

Passing yards -- 3.8 points

Two 5 point bonuses for plays over 50 yards -- 10 points

1 5 point bonus because Stroud would have had 300 passing yards -- 5 points

1 5 point bonus because Collins would have had 100+ receiving yards -- 5 points

So that dickhead cost me 43 points

I mean there is no way Nico breaks that, if Tunsil wasn’t out on the defender…. So, yeah, if he doesn’t get out there it’s probably an 8-10 yard gain and not TD.

Thats why they called the penalty.

Of course, I’m happy with the two game lead in our division, but I expected this team to be much better coached at this point in the season.  We’re still muy undisciplined making too many mistakes.  At times, we play like no one is driving the bus.

Really hoping that we can see this defense fully healthy (or not suspended). I don't think we've seen WAJ, Autry, Fatusaki, Lassiter, Edwards Jr, etc all on the field together healthy at once. Harris too, although he's missed so much time that I'm not sure if he'll actually be better than what we currently have. 

I think the sell in the playoffs is the elite defense at this point. One that has a bunch of ballhawks. Stingley Jr will give up receptions here or there, but any time you target him it's an INT risk. Lassiter has 3 INTs. Bullock has 4 INTs. 

The offense is a work in progress, but hopefully the re-shuffled OL gets better over the rest of the season. If the defense is playing at an elite level, the threshold for the offense to meet is lower, and it might only need to be a top 10 offense to make noise in the playoffs, especially if Nico and Mixon are both healthy
