Slight lean to Oak here as well.
Lots of unhappiness between Coach O'Brien and the GM coming out this week, these are similar discussions as last year when everyone thought one of the two would have to go.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Texans lose and move on from O'Brien. Only thing that keeps me from betting is Oak QB 1st ever start coming in the playoffs against a strong defense - that could cause things to swing the other way.

1. Manning doesn’t mind being an underdog

✔@MikeAndMike
DID YOU KNOW: The last 7 games Eli Manning has been an underdog in the playoffs, he's 7-0.
3:44 AM - 4 Jan 2017
2. Manning has as many postseason wins — 8 — as Steve Young
3. Manning’s 106 completions in the 2011 postseason are the most in NFL history
That’s more than Peyton Manning in 2006 and Tom Brady in 2014. And, yes, the Giants played in four games that year.
4. Manning’s career Passer Rating in the postseason ranks 12th all time
At 89.3, that’s better than his brother, Young, Brett Favre … and a tick better than Tom Brady (88.0).
5. Manning has five game-winning drives in his postseason career, as many as Joe Montana had and one more than Terry Bradshaw
6. Manning’s four fourth-quarter comebacks in the playoffs are as many as John Elway had
9. FiveThirtyEight came up with a metric that declared “the most clutch postseason quarterback of all time is Eli Manning”

His New York Giants have often been underdogs in the postseason and projected to a record of 4-7 or perhaps 5-6 in his 11 games. Instead, Eli Manning’s teams have gone 8-3. According to the simulations, there’s just a 1 percent chance of achieving such a strong record based on chance alone.
This does not, incidentally, serve as evidence that Eli Manning or any other quarterback has some extra gear that kicks in during the postseason. Eli’s been awesome during the postseason, but with 180 QBs in the sample you’d expect to find a few fluky cases based on chance alone. This is also not to say that clutch quarterbacking doesn’t exist.

Well the Raiders crash and burn. But had Jackass Del Rio started McGloin for 2nd half I feel woulda been a much closer game.
Doubling down on the Giants ML.

I'm sure McGloin would have started the game if he was healthy enough. Obviously he was injured and could not play.
He was suited up as window dressing because they did not have anyone else. If the Cook went down I am pretty sure the emergency QB would have played over McGloin.
They never showed McGloin throwing the ball on the side line....

R.E.L.A.X. ..it all changes today thanks to Aaron......
No offense but you really believe what JDR said? Think for a minute and forget JDR, use your cognitive thought process.
You are ok playing a rookie who has not played all year over a guy who has been around and knows the offense, has had a good amount of practice reps, has played.
Makes not 1 ounce of sense, no coach would play a rookie who has not played all year over a veteran who has in a playoff game.
McGloin was only dressed so Houston would think he "could" play. If he was making all the throws in practice like JDR said he would have been playing. Have you seen McGloin making these throws in practice?
If JDR believed he could win with Cook at QB then he is a bigger idiot than I thought.
