The Houston Texans’ game on Sunday was gross. Which is why I have offered everyone a bit of a reprieve with a picture of a Miami Dolphins cheerleader in this article.
There wasn’t much good about the 30-15 loss to the Dolphins. Other than after trailing 30-0, the Houston Texans didn’t completely collapse. They certainly played better in the second half. In fact, if the first half didn’t exist for the second straight week, Lovie Smith’s squad would be 2-0. But… the first half did exist again.
The Houston Texans had 32 yards. Yards. Not points. In the first half and looked like a team that didn’t belong on the field with the Dolphins. That’s a problem because while Miami is good, they are not a juggernaut.
They looked every bit of an unbeatable team Sunday afternoon, however. Or the Houston Texans looked every bit the 1-9-1 squad they are. After the game, social media went off on their thoughts of where this supposed rebuild is in the process.

@HoustonTexans have went from 20 straight years of selling out home games to having half the stadium empty and being booed by their own fans...and it's only getting worse! It is beyond embarrassing! pic.twitter.com/GVwvbhETBD

NFL needs to open a tanking investigation into the @HoustonTexans there's no way you don't play Davis Mills after halftime after what you just did on offense in the first half.

Interestingly enough, that last post about “tanking investigations” might be worth looking into. It’s felt like the Houston Texans have been squarely in “Blowing it for Bryce” mode for a couple of weeks now.
There was a time this season when the Texans looked like it was decent enough to get a win here or a win there. They no longer look like that team.
Is it possible that the players have gotten the message? The offense, especially has taken several steps backward. Perhaps that side of the ball has taken it upon itself to ensure that the Houston Texans get the first overall pick.
You’ve got to wonder just how much more fans of the team can take at this point. It’s one thing to lose. It’s another to be unwatchable while doing it, and that’s been the Houston Texans lately.
