[EDITOR'S NOTE] The stat in the Game Notes box above about the Texans’ record after 13 games came from Jerome Solomon’s Twitter feed. Yes, the Texans are still mathematically alive in the playoff hunt, but despite the accurate and hope-fueling article that Jerome Solomon wrote last week, it’s still a pretty huge reach that these [...]
I hate to say it, but it’s over for Gary Kubiak. For the Texans as a playoff team – it’s been over since the Monday Night Football loss to Tennessee… but today’s loss was yet another direct result of incredible brain lapses in coaching. Oh, and of course – more of the same from the [...]
Houston continues to wait for a playoff football team, because this isn’t one. Playoff teams win games like this. Dunta Robinson. Need I say more? Dunta Robinson turned down 23 million dollars? This guy got OWNED by a rookie tonight. He was terrible. A dropped interception here, a holding call there, and he couldn’t stay [...]
Unbelievable. You scratch and claw and fight for 59 minutes and 59 seconds, and it all comes down to a non-football player. A missed freaking field goal. That, and the penalties. And the turnovers. And the person in the booth for the Texans whose job it is to relay to Gary Kubiak if he should [...]
First, the bad news. Chron.com is reporting that TE Owen Daniels is most likely going to be out for the season with a torn knee ligament. That is a huge, huge blow to this team. It’s not something they can’t overcome, but it is a big blow. Owen benefits from the system (by his own [...]
And………….. exhale. I’m sure nobody was surprised by the way that game ended. After playing (nearly) a complete game of great football last week, the Texans fell back to their curious habit of “A Tale of Two Halves” against the 49ers today. Does anyone have the defense figured out? Didn’t think so. Wow, the Texans [...]
As always, I don’t like to overreact to wins OR losses, and this is no different. The Texans got another surprising road win today, but if they can’t follow up with a win at home against the 49ers next week, it doesn’t mean jack. That said, let’s leave out what’s in front of us for [...]
I think I made the right call in not posting right after this especially heartbreaking game. I had a lot of terrible things to say, and some of them still need to be said – but more than anything it should be said that I have no clue what to make of this team. One [...]
Cannot run the ball Virtually no pass rush So what else is new?
It was really tough to not be negative all of last week, and I’m sure I’m not alone in not being too excited about today’s performance against the Raiders, either. I’m very, very happy that we got a win (and an easy one at that), but you know… it’s the Raiders. Now, you WANT to [...]
