Random thoughts on Texans vs. Broncos after a second viewing

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

After re-watching the Texans victory over the Broncos, I’ve scribbled some notes down. I’m going to try to make a habit of doing a post a week like this, where I hit you with random thoughts from the second viewing in no particular order whatsoever. Joe Mays’ hit on Matt Schaub was vicious, no doubt. [...]

Battle Red Radio: Overconfidence? Who, us? Yeah probably.

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

Yet again this week I joined host and friend of the site Rivers McCown for another rousing episode of Battle Red Radio. The new voice you hear is Brett Kollmann, who did an excellent job on his first -ever appearance. There’s some good X & O talk to kick things off, and Brett offers up [...]

Thoughts on a mile-high heart-stopper as Texans move to 3-0

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

The Texans are now almost universally considered to be the best team in the NFL after a quality road win in Denver. Houston started slowly after a safety on their first offensive play of the game, but soon after jumped all over the Broncos on both sides of the ball. Schaub, Kubiak excelled Matt Schaub [...]

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

We have much to discuss after one of the most satisfying (and terrifying) wins in Texans history. For now though, I am traveling for work. Enjoy basking in the after-fright, and check back all week for updates!

Texans at Broncos: Keys to the game as Texans try to go 3-0 for first time

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

Though you won’t find a bigger fan of the Houston Texans than I am, it’s never been difficult for me to pick against them. However, since the “Wade Phillips” era began, I don’t feel that typical Houston pro football fan’s sense of constant dread. I was all set to pick the Broncos to beat the [...]

Division Derision: Texans assert their power over a hopeless division

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

Houston Texans Record: 2-0 Week 2: Beat Jacksonville to death with blunt objects 27-7 Next: at Denver The Texans couldn’t be much better than they are right now. If we are nitpicking, we point out that they have played one below average team with no quarterback (Miami), and one GOD AWFUL team with Blaine Gabbert [...]

Another week, another Battle Red Radio appearance

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

I have some very disturbing pictures of Rivers, so naturally I am on Battle Red Radio yet again this week talking Texans, Jaguars, and of course – the Denver Broncos. This time we only spend 40 minutes of the show on Bradie James and Kareem Jackson, so that’s a bonus. You can listen to the [...]

Some more post-game thoughts following Sunday’s win in Jacksonville

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

There was a lot to be impressed with in the Texans big divisional road win Sunday in Jacksonville. As the Richard Smith and Frank Bush era defenses appear more and more distant in the rear view mirror, we forget how this team used to react to adversity. Okay, really – none of us have forgotten. [...]

Texans annihilate “vastly-improved Gabbert,” Jaguars 27-7

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

I will get you some more postgame reaction tomorrow, because I need to travel for work on this glorious Sunday evening. Quickly though, the Texans absolutely obliterated a divisional opponent on the road, so officially there should be NOTHING to complain about… but you know me, I’ll find something. Get back to running the football [...]

Texans at Jaguars preview: Gary Kubiak tries to push his record to .500

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

When the Texans walk off the field in Jacksonville on Sunday, Gary Kubiak hopes to be walking off with a 49-49 record as Houston’s head coach. Needless to say, it will be the first time Kubiak will have a chance to pull even after what we will call “an extended rebuilding period.” On paper this [...]
