Gonna try to avoid re-hashing what’s already been amply covered...
Goff looked like a completely different QB in 2nd half. Nothing seemed to work for McVay/Goff until mid 2nd qtr. But 2nd half? Whoa! Everything they tried in the 3rd qtr was working.
Rams best hit the deck running early vs the Vikings. Or else...
A word about Clowney vs Hav. Early on it was all Clowney. But from late 2nd qtr on something happened and I don’t mean that they started giving Hav lots of help, either. Hav virtually neutralized Clowney from that point onward. Darned if I know how it was done, but it was dramatic. I mean, after the score got very lopsided I could see someone saying that Clowney packed it in, but this transformation occurred back when the Texans still led 7-6. I was damned proud of Hav, to tell you the truth. Check it out if you still have a recording.
I hate to sound like a broken record, but why does McVay keep up with the obligatory Tavon snaps? Five rushes for a net 2 yards? Trust me, the league has caught on. C’mon... [

Goff had a helluva game, obviously. But I thought he took at least 2 unnecessary sacks. Emphasis unnecessary. But that 3rd qtr was amazing, so it’s kinda easy to forgive him. Lol.
Savage was hit often and hit hard by our D. He probably slept in the whirlpool Sunday night. His confidence was shot by the mid-3rd qtr, I think, based on body language.
Rams D got 4 turnovers but it shoulda been 6. TruJo dropped a sure pick 6 and Tree was robbed of his by a bs call. Impressive huh? Wade is known for D’s that create turnovers. This one is certainly no different.
Love our DL rotation. Heck I love our entire front 7 both starters and backups. They’re always fresh and there is very little drop off, it seems. Ask Savage. Lol.
Quinn was not missed, was he. Who’d a thunk it?
I’m not as confident with Webster as I’d like to be. There, I said it.
I like having backups playing in the 4th qtr. Means we’ve got the game in the bag. But could I see a little more Everett and Reynolds? C’mon, Sean!
There is a synergy to our ST. What I mean is that the combo of good punt coverage, good PR, and Hekker’s punts combined with superb punt coverage leads to inevitable field possession wins. We are so spoiled by now. Combine all that with our scoring O and you have a recipe for leading the league in scoring. Oh wait!
Speaking of leading the league, GZ has quietly become a monster weapon. Mr Automatic, indeed! Helluva 6th round value, huh?
What was McVay thinking with the fake punt on 4th and long around our own 30? That maybe the Texans would never expect it? Dang! It wasn’t as if we were trailing with time running out and were desperate. About gave me a heart attack!
Did I mention that we better start off fast on both O and D vs the Vikings? I don’t want to waste this incredible momentum that has built up.
