Houston Texans turn franchise into bakery with turnover-filled loss
The Houston Texans embarrassingly lost to the Dolphins in a turnover
Facing one of their last winnable games on the season, the Houston Texans got off to a promising start on offense. Driving into Miami’s red zone, the drive would end in a disaster as Tyrod Taylor would throw an interception in the endzone in what looked like an attempt to just throw the ball away.
A Myles Gaskin rushing score put Miami up 7-0. That was when the interceptions started to be picked out of the sky by both teams. There also was the highly questionable interception that Taylor threw as he was running out of bounds. The Miami defender who caught that ball was originally out of bounds, but somehow cleared his status and the interception stood.
Houston Texans poured in their dislike for Taylor’s interceptions and were calling for Taylor to be benched. There is no fixing this team this year, and David Culley promised Taylor his job back when he returned. Mills has had some flashes of brilliance, but he hasn’t played like the two other quarterbacks who’ve replaced him in the past (Baker Mayfield and Justin Herbert).
Houston Texans are paying the consequence of not embracing a full rebuild
This is exactly what the Texans get for not tearing this thing down from the beginning. Bringing in all of the veterans that have hardly contributed is a mistake. There is no clear direction except for mass chaos. If it was meant to be a rebuilding year, don’t keep pieces like Brandin Cooks, Justin Reid, and Tyrod Taylor around.
If Mills is supposed to be the savior of the franchise, throw him to the wolves and see what he does. It’s not going to be any better until the pieces around the quarterback are better. Offensive and defensive line, you could really close your eyes and throw a dart and it would be an acceptable draft pick.
This team needs everything.
