Davis Mills does enough to help Houston Texans defeat Buffalo Bills | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

IN A MADDEN GAME. I MEAN, IT REALLY, IT LOOKED LIKE THAT AT, AT TIMES IT WAS SILLY MIKE LAST NIGHT WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO GET, I THINK THEY GOT 6 OF THEIR SACKS. THAT IT WAS JUST THEIR DEFENSIVE LINE. IT WAS JUST THEY IT WAS NOT EXTRA. HEY, WE’RE NOT GOING TO, WE’RE NOT GOING TO BLITZ THEM, WE’RE JUST GOING TO SEND OUR 4 AND WE’LL GET THERE. IT WAS IMPRESSIVE. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE TEXANS THAT IT WAS JUST THEIR YOU LOOK AT THE TEXANS I MEAN AROUND THEY’RE JUST A 6 AND 5 TEAM, IT’S NOT LIKE UM UH THIS IS A TEAM THAT’S A TOP THE DIVISION OR A TOP THE CONFERENCE. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THEM LAST NIGHT, YOU THINK TO YOURSELF IF THEY CAN HANG HANG AROUND A LITTLE BIT MORE WITH DAVIS MILLS, WHO HASN’T LOST A GAME AS A STARTER YET, THEY CAN HANG AROUND AND PUT TOGETHER SOME OFFENSE LIKE THEY DID IN THE FIRST HALF. THIS IS UH, THIS IS A TEAM THAT COULD ACTUALLY DO SOME DAMAGE IN THE PLAYOFFS, THEY’RE NOT UNFAMILIAR WITH PLAYOFF DEMO RYAN HAS DONE THAT HIS DONE THAT HIS FIRST COUPLE BUT IF THEY CAN ADD SOME JUST A LITTLE BIT OF UNPREDICTABLE OFFENSE TO THEIR REPERTOIRE, THAT’S A TEAM. YOU GOT TO WATCH OUT FOR THEY’RE DANGEROUS. WELL, THE DEFENSE HAS BEEN GREAT. ALL YEAR. THE OFFENSE TOOK A WHILE TO GET GOING AND CJ STROUD, SUPPOSEDLY WILL BE BACK FOR NEXT WEEK. I ALWAYS GET A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE WHEN SOMEONE’S IN THE CONCUSSION PROTOCOL AND THERE’S THIS. OH YEAH, HE’LL BE BACK. NOBODY KNOWS WHEN HE’S GOING TO BE BACK AND THE WHOLE IDEA IS WE DON’T TALK ABOUT IT AT ALL. COACHES AREN’T SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT IT. IT WOULD BE IDEAL IF WE DIDN’T TALK ABOUT IT, OTHER THAN TO SAY, LET’S NOT TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE HE’S ALREADY PUTTING HIMSELF UNDER PRESSURE TO COME BACK. LET’S NOT ADD TO THAT WHEN HE’S READY, HE’S READY, AND THEY HAVE DAVIS MILLS AND MILLS HAS WON 3 STARTS BEAT 2, PLAYOFF CONTENDERS ALONG THE WAY. YEAH, THE RANCID MEET IN THE SANDWICH WAS THE TITANS, BUT THE BREAD IS GOOD JAGUARS BILLS. GOOD BREAD, BAD MEAT, AND WHEN HE CAME IN FOR CJ, STROUD AGAINST THE DENVER THEY GAVE HIM HELL, THAT WASN’T AN EASY GAME FOR THE DENVER WHEN SO MILLS, AND I SPOKE TO MILLS AFTER THEY BEAT THE JAGUARS. I MEAN, THIS IS A GUY WHO STARTED A LOT OF GAMES 26, I BELIEVE IN HIS FIRST 2 YEARS AND DIDN’T DO WELL. FROM A WINS LOSSES STANDPOINT, BECAUSE THE TEXANS WERE STEEPED IN THEIR JACK EASTER BEEF PHASE. SO WRITE THE WHOLE THING WAS A CRAP SHOW IN 21 AND 22. IT WASN’T DAVIS MILLS FAULT. INCOME, CJ, STROUD, EVERYTHING CHANGES MILLS, HANGS AROUND. HE’S ACTUALLY SIGNED THROUGH RE-UP TO STAY WITH THE HOUSTON TEXANS. HEY, CONFIDENT BACKUP. A SMART IT DONE TO THE POINT WHERE AND I SAID TO HIM, WHAT’S YOUR MESSAGE TO THE REST OF THE LEAGUE? HE SAID I JUST WANT TO SHOW PEOPLE. I COMPLY, HE’S SHOWING IT, YOU HAVE A GAME LIKE THAT IN PRIME TIME AND ANY OF THESE TEAMS OUT THERE LIKE WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO AT QUARTERBACK NEXT YEAR? HEY, YOU KNOW, WHY DIDN’T HE ON THE LIST? LET’S AT LEAST PUT HIM ON THE LIST NOW YOU’D HAVE TO TRADE FOR HIM BUT IF YOU HAVE A TEAM AROUND HIM, YOU KNOW, YOU DON’T HAVE BETTER. MICHAEL? WHAT’S BETTER TO GIVE 55 MILLION? TO A QUARTERBACK WHO DOESN’T DESERVE IT. OR TO GIVE MILLION. TO A GUY WHO KNOWS, I JUST WANT TO CHANCE RIGHT? HE’S NOT GOING TO THROW IT ALL OVER THE PLACE. HE’S NOT GOING TO BE JOSH ALLEN OR PATRICK MAHOMES. HE CAN BEAT JOSH ALLEN OR PATRICK MAHOMES IF YOU PUT ENOUGH AROUND HIM. AND WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE A GUY, MAKING 55 MILLION, YOU CAN HAVE ALL THAT OTHER STUFF. WIN FOOTBALL GAMES. IT IT’S IT’S A GREAT POINT MIKE, AND I’M GLAD DAVIS MILLS SAID IT TO YOU THAT WAY THAT HE JUST WANTS TO SHOW PEOPLE. HE CAN PLAY BECAUSE HE IS, HE IS AN EXAMPLE THAT MANY PLAYERS THAT OF ANY POSITION. I’M NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT QUARTERBACKS MANY PLAYERS, FIND THEMSELVES IN BAD SITUATIONS AND THEN YOU GO IN THERE AND THE FANS DON’T KNOW HOW BAD IT IS BEHIND THE SCENES. AND EXPECT YOU TO THRIVE IN, UM, IN A IN A FRANCHISE OR IN A SYSTEM THAT IS CHAOTIC. I MEAN, IF YOU THINK ABOUT MIKE, IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE THE SPACE, THE SPACE BETWEEN BILL OBRIEN LEAVING THE TEXANS. AND DEMO RYAN’S ARRIVING IN HIS FIRST SEASON. THINK ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN THAT SPACE YOU COULD WRITE 10 MORE BOOKS BASED ON THAT PERIOD IN HOUSTON TEXANS HISTORY, ALL THE COACHES THAT THEY HAD ALL THE CONTROVERSY THAT THEY HAD WITH DESHAWN WATSON. HEY, HERE’S THE PLAN. YOU MENTIONED JACK, EASTERBY? THAT WAS ALL IN THAT IN THAT SPACE AND THEN SOME OF THE CLIMBING THAT HAPPENED IN THE ORGANIZATION TO SOME OF THE BACKSTABBING THAT HAPPENED IN THE ORGANIZATION. THEY WENT THROUGH A TON OF 1 AND DON’T THEY HAD A COUPLE COACHES, RIGHT? WITH DAVID CULLY AND LOVEY SMITH, UH, IN THERE. SO CHAOS. WITH THE TEXANS AND DAVIS MILLS KIND OF COMES INTO THAT AND YOU’RE EXPECTED JUST TO YOU KNOW PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN AND JUST FOCUS ON THE GAME PLAN. IT’S NOT THAT EASY. THERE ARE MUCH

  1. they have become so unpredicatable… they wont ever win like this. Allen cant do it all. no oline, no receivers , Cook finally played somewhat well but the Defense is horrible also..

  2. Bills and Ravens had their chance last few years but they could not get over the Mahomes hurdle. Of course this is only one season, but looks like their era is over. Cant rebuild the top 3 teams with those massive contracts they are paying to guys.

  5. Guys like Davis Mills need a few years in the NFL and some experience to figure it out. Like Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield are examples. Mills looked good last night. Did what was needed, didn't make mistakes.

  6. Yall need to stop this nonsense. The Texans didn’t win because of Davis Mills, they won because they have a Super Bowl caliber defense. Davis Mills just didn’t lose them the game.

  9. "Does enough" are the key words. I wasn't particularly impressed by the Texans offense. In fact, I thought the offense was a relative snore-fest for most of the game. It was a defensive domination.

  17. Can we talk about how inept the Offense for the Texans is. This defense is top tier, and its being waste by the OC, O-Line and the play calling. We need a more experience OC not someone who is starting their first yr. Do anyone think we should have kept Bobby Slowik?

  18. Wtf did CJs rookie season do to make people cling to the guy who flunked that cognitive test like dawg LOL I’ve paid close attention to Houston’s offense with CJ since week 1 and then paid even closer attention when mills took over for the 3-0 stretch they look way more balanced and mills looks more aware in the pocket and not running 18 yards backwards
