This beatdown though was completely predictable for anyone that has seen Houston play this year at home and the level of physicality they play with here. Given how little this game mattered to us, we weren’t going to be willing to do what it took to fight through this onslaught.
And there goes the season because we kept playing Dickinson in a meaningless game and he got his shoulder yanked. Would not be surprised if he just separated that. [Reply]

Self’s pride costs us. Was talking about avoiding this scenario all week and Self still ends up playing our best player in a blowout in a meaningless game anyway. [Reply]
Self should have to answer why his best player was playing in a 30 point blowout against an incredibly physical team a week before the tournament starts. Just a complete failure on his part and so preventable. [Reply]

Self has always done this his entire career. Always. To act mad now makes no sense. Ive bitched about this for ten years [Reply]

This is the first time a decision of his has cost us a season. Yeah, I think it’s fair to be aggravated over that (especially considering how meaningless this game was in every respect coming into it).
Playing the starters against that team in that building was simply asking for an injury and he got it. [Reply]
Thankful that Andy Reid at least benches his best players in meaningless end of regular season games. Doing so has helped us win a few SBs. Perhaps Self will learn a lesson from the season ending in this fashion, but I doubt it. [Reply]
