I don't know--I feel sick about the loss, but I think there were some positive signs from RGIII. He executed the game plan pretty well, IMO. We knew we couldn't block Watt, but we still managed to gain lots and throw a high percentage of completions. The Texans took away the deep stuff. RGIII only f up was the fumble, really. Yeah, he missed that sideline throw, but that's a tough play. And I think it was inbounds, personally. What happened to all the talk of patience? Come on. If Niles Paul friggin holds onto the ball, we probably win. And we do win if that punt shite does not occur. And then what are we saying about RGIII, with exactly the same stat line?

Other positives: Ryan Clark, Darrell Young, WRs got the ball a lot, good punt/kick returns.

Negatives: o-line pass pro (though Watt is a freak of nature--give a bit of credit), Rambo (Not For Long...), TOs and the ST blocking. Maybe it's the long snappers fault? J/K, but this is pathetic. Reed's injury.

Overall, it's about what I expected, given what we've seen so far. We went in 3 point dogs to Houston and should have won. We beat ourselves. If the team eliminates stupid mistakes, it will go 6-10/7-9 (a 3-4 game improvement, actually a big deal). If it doesn't, yikes. I think both the D and O looked better, but it's not there yet. PATIENCE!!!!!
