OT - Houston Playcalling

[cruzer]

Watching Savage try to move the ball with Houston and I'm wondering if Woody Hayes has come back from the dead and is calling the plays for Houston. Run on first and second down on every series. Third and long all day long. Super creative.

This is painful to watch. Cincinnati is playing the run and reacting quickly, need to run counters and play action to keep them off base

I don't know if it's the norm but Houston's OL stinks out loud tonite.

Savage not playing very well either.

And now it appears as if he is hurt again.

Looking good now. Not a great game for Savage but he has been getting it done when it matters here at the end. No picks so far.

This is about the most vanilla, predictable offensive play calling I have ever seen. The OC is definitely doing Savage no favors.

You would have to think he's their guy the rest of the year unless he gets hurt. Will probably host Kansas City, Oakland or Miami in the first round.

Unreal how bad Houston's run game was. Did Savage no favors

Looks like PSU will have some QB representation in the NFL playoffs also. I'd take Savage over McGloin anyday.

The Raiders are royally screwed.

Hopefully he is fully healthy.

Savage wasn't great early, was decent late and made one great throw while getting hammered. He came up limping after one hit and was grimacing the rest of the evening. Deion Sanders was absolutely ripping Savage at the half but called him "adequate" by games end. What a douche (and I usually like Deion). And OBrien said at the half Savage was holding the ball too long...Not sure how 1-2 seconds is too long because that's how long he ever had with the lousy line play.

I wish Tom success but it's going to be tough with that OLine and a lack of scrambling skills. I really think the Texans would be wise to spend a mid round pick on Peterman. He could flourish there. Draft some of the Pitt OLine too!

That was the most boring NFL game I've seen in a while and I've seen a few.
