The Big Cat Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 There wasn't one unit that really stood out, but collectively, the defense had a great day...No points in the second half and gave the offense not one but two fourth quarter opportunities for the win...great pick for Nate and a great two man hit from Ko and TKO. I like what I saw...this unit, as a whole, is very few spots away from being NFL top 5 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I am seeing is that they seem to have the goods in crunch time, at least for today, which is good, but they were definitely saved by some great opportunities and exceptional play by Clements alone today with the turnovers. A few things will really help this D in the long run: 1) A healthy Takeo Spikes another year removed from his injury. 2) A FA or draftee who can hold his own better than Tim Anderson.

But ultimatley, it only lost Buffalo the field position game-which was an issue, but not one that today's offense couldn't over come... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyF Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 They were terrible for the most part. Some big plays and a big holding penalty negated a first down to the 15 yard line. Carr completed 22 in a row and they (Houston) had their second best rushing day ever. They were much better the second half though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Friends Call Me Tebucky Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 3 huge games from Clements in a row now. He's not Champ Bailey. He's not worth 7 million dollars a year. He looks like Exhibit. But we can't go out and get anybody better than him, and can't trust McGee as a #2 let alone a #1. LOCK HIM UP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
