We all saw the debacle Sunday. This team is in trouble going in to the playoffs, and while the sky is not falling – there are legitimate, reasonable reasons to think the Texans are headed for disappointment come January. Rather than go over that embarrassing loss from Sunday (which I witnessed in person) I’m just [...]
The Texans notched another familiar style of win today. They were largely unimpressive on offense, notching only one touchdown. The defense didn’t get entirely gashed, but struggled at times, saved by big plays by J.J. Watt. Same ol’, same ol’. It certainly wasn’t a resounding win, but they were up against a 9-4 team trying [...]
It was ugly from the start. I had the Texans losing this game, but never thought it would be this bad. Good lord. The good news is, that for all the overreaction this game will cause by Texans fans and NFL media, it really is just one game. In all likelihood the Texans and Patriots [...]
After the quietest, most uneventful week of build-up to a Texans vs. Titans game ever, Houston rather easily handled Tennessee and clinched a playoff berth. It was an impressive win by the Texans, though it needs to be said that the Titans are a god-awful football team right now. How they have won four games [...]
Sadly, I barely have the strength to type this. The Texans, for the second week in a row, did not play well. Their defense was god awful against the pass. Matt Schaub didn’t have a straight-out horrible game, but he was not good. Missed throws all over the place. Shayne Graham is, was, and will [...]
Now that some time has passed and I’m able to return to normal physical functionality, it’s time for some more legitimate thoughts on Houston’s thrilling/maddening 43-37 overtime win over Jacksonville on Sunday. First, let me make it clear – I am not freaking out about how this team barely won. I am beyond thrilled the [...]
I really don’t want to write about this game, mainly because my entire body hurts right now. The Texans thrilled (and irritated) us with a 43-37 win in overtime against what is arguably the worst team in the NFL. The defense was a complete and total disaster. A disaster. It’s definitely a concern, but let’s [...]
Please pardon the tardiness of this update. It took me a while to float back down to Earth. If there was any doubt left in anyone’s mind whether the Texans are true Super Bowl contenders in 2012, it is now gone. The Texans went into Chicago on the national stage, and beat them in the [...]
The Texans and Bears, both at 7-1, are headed for a nationally-televised collision course on Sunday night. If you’re like me, you are BEYOND excited about this game. We will probably get a few of these questions answered Sunday night: How will the Texans fare against a team that likely won’t abandon the run early? [...]
After the game, Mario Williams was his typical affable self. He’s just a good guy. People in Houston might dog-cuss him now for reasons I can’t put my finger on, but he was as even-keeled as ever after a 21-9 loss to his former team. And… that’s probably part of the problem. Mario kind of [...]
