Ryan did see a good bit of action but Atlanta had been in Houston most of the week for organized practices and got game-like work in, so many players didnt play (Like JJ Watt, Foster, Johnson for Hou) and / or got limited game time. Fitz was Fitz and did extend drives on broken plays (and stupid illegal contact penalties) but should have been picked off several times. This one is exactly the type of game that gives fans false hope. Believe me, it could have easily gone the other way, but the Texans did look better than last week. Hard not to...
On a side note, Kendrick Lewis played well...Clowney looks to be the real deal.

I saw the game. You created a story in week 1, and now you're minimizing week 2 in order to keep the story alive.
It's preseason. Game 3 is the only one that matters at all, in terms of worrying about your team, and even that one is only minimally useful. These games are about getting the vets a little bit of work and seeing which rookies seem most likely to be able to play in the league.
That's it. Reading the tea leaves about the regular season is a fool's game, as the Bills demonstrated repeatedly in the '90s.
