Was this narrow margin of victory enough to make any kind of statement?
I don't think it was. As I stated prior to this game, this should have been absolutely no contest. The notion that we allowed the Texans, by a long shot, their best offensive performance on the season is reprehensible.
Their offense features a dubious and banged up OL, a rookie QB, a rookie WR, two other WRs who haven't done beans in the NFL and are certainly not particularly respected for their play at the WR position, and a rookie RB. Even against our poor D, this should not have been a contest.
This game will energize both the Lions and the Bungals. Forget about all the other teams that we play. We allowed over 140 rushing yards today on almost 5 YPC v. the Texans! There is no hope of stopping all the RBs that we will face henceforth. If those teams have passing games, as most of them do, then we'll have to put up 40+ points generally speaking to win those games.
Our D blows!! This week proved it.
This game should have been over shortly after halftime. It wasn't. There won't be a team that we play that will not be realistically convinced that they have a great shot at beating us.
