Texans wear Dolphins down, grind out road win

Author: Chris | Files under Game Reviews, Houston Texans & NFL

The whiners will be out in force all week, because that was NOT a pretty game, and yes – there are a lot of issues the Texans need to deal with. But that was exactly the kind of grind-it-out gutsy performance that we as Texans fans are simply not familiar with. The Texans were in [...]

More on Sunday’s beatdown because… why not?

Author: Chris | Files under Game Reviews, Houston Texans & NFL

Dallas Clark defending Mario Williams one on one No matter how many times I see it, I still can’t believe it. I realize that the Colts didn’t plan for this to happen – but how does Kerry Collins not call a time out? Or audible out of the play? At least on the second sack, [...]

Texans do as they should – HAMMER sorry Colts

Author: Chris | Files under Game Reviews, Houston Texans & NFL

That was simply an exhilarating first half of football. Wow. This game couldn’t have gone much better for the Texans. The defense was dominant, and would have been more dominant if not for a couple of Texans’ turnovers. Sure, the secondary looked a little shaky at times, but actually having a pass rush helped to [...]

First-team offense hums, defense holds their own

Author: Chris | Files under Game Reviews, Houston Texans & NFL

Thanks to a multitude of people on Twitter, I was able to watch the Texans vs. Saints game this morning. I set the game to record on NFL Network, but imagine my surprise (and anger) when I got home late last night and had nothing but 3.5 hours of “this game is blacked out in [...]

Lots of good and bad in Texans’ win over Jets

Author: Chris | Files under Game Reviews, Houston Texans & NFL

Whew, football. I needed that. The Texans kicked off the 2011 preseason with a 20-16 win over the Jets. I guess it’s good to get in the winning habit, yes? Rex Ryan certainly thought so, as you can tell by how he waited until he knew he was on camera, and then slammed his headset [...]

Texans blow it against a terrible Denver team

Author: Chris | Files under Game Reviews, Houston Texans & NFL

Here’s a picture of a bear. If ___________________ doesn’t get Gary Kubiak fired, nothing will! This week, you can fill the blank in with “Sunday’s effort against the Denver Broncos.” Up 17-0 against an AWFUL team with no running game and a bad quarterback, the Texans managed to give up a lead and lose, rather [...]

Postgame reaction: Eagles 34 Texans 24

Author: Chris | Files under Game Reviews, Houston Texans & NFL

Well, what can I say? The game pretty much went as I thought it would go. Fairly close, but as expected, the Texans’ defense couldn’t stop anyone. When the Texans briefly took a 24-20 lead, it was hard to get too excited considering Vick and the Eagles were about to take the field again. I’ll [...]

Finnegan, Titans both pimp-slapped in Houston

Author: Chris | Files under Game Reviews, Houston Texans & NFL

So, this one felt good, even though it may cost the Texans Andre Johnson for a game. Cortland Finnegan wants NONE of that. What a coward. Starts a fight (and yes, Finnegan DID throw the first punch, though it was when Andre still had his helmet on) and then runs for his teammates to hold [...]

God makes it clear (again): Screw you, Houston

Author: Chris | Files under Game Reviews, Houston Texans & NFL

It’s going to be hard to find words to describe today’s latest insane, ridiculous loss. You can take your pick of who to blame. Gary Kubiak tops the list, as always. Glover Quin certainly didn’t help with his “bat the ball across and back into the field of play rather than bat the ball down” [...]

Another ugly home loss drops Texans to 4-4

Author: Chris | Files under Game Reviews, Houston Texans & NFL

The Texans blew another winnable game today. Another loss at home, this time to a team that was 0-4 on the road this season. If you follow this team closely, you can’t honestly say this was a surprise. I don’t think I need to spend too much time on this, because it’s literally the same [...]
