As an unabashed Kubiak-lover, it’s hard to admit.

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

As I’ve said many times, I’m a huge, huge Gary Kubiak guy. I wanted him in 2002, and he was the ONLY guy I wanted when Dom Capers was shown the door. That said, many of the Texans’ losses this season are totally indefensible, and while players were often catching the most hell for it [...]

Did anyone think that lead would hold up?

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

Yeah, neither did I. Not even going to spend a lot of time discussing this pathetic, embarrassing piece of crap performance. Especially when I still wasn’t fully recovered from the pathetic, embarrassing piece of crap performance from Monday night. It’s hard work being a Texans fan, and while I’ll always be a fan no matter [...]

Bigger loss: Eugene Wilson or Dwight Freeney?

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

With the news earlier in the week that FS Eugene Wilson is out for the season with foot injuries, the little bit of hope that some Texans fans might have had for a win over the Colts seemed to… sail wide to the left (sorry). Wilson is far and away the best cover safety the [...]

It’s time to stop moping about Monday

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

I guess. One big difference between my “childhood” Houston Oiler years, and my current life as an adult and fan of the Houston Texans, is that I’m able to get over bad losses much faster than I used to. When I was a young teenager and a fervent follower of the Oilers, losses would cloud [...]

Texans play not to lose, VY makes the difference

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

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 [...]

Report: Texans on Bill Cowher’s short list

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

I was just going to throw this in to the post-game draft I’m working on, but I figure it will generate some discussion. Jason La Canfora of NFL Network and NFL.com reports that the Carolina Panthers, Chicago Bears, and Houston Texans are on Bill Cowher’s short list. I’m posting this for us to discuss, but [...]

This is it, let’s get it on!!! Monday Night Football!

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

UPDATE Finally, they came to their senses. The Texans are going to be wearing original Battle Red tonight, red jerseys with white pants. Okay, no more uniform talk. This is pretty much where I’m at right now. Share your pregame thoughts in the comments… but I’m just saying – I’m ready to go. I feel [...]

Would you believe this guy’s not a good speller?

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

That’s your boy Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans on the right, who upon arrival in Houston managed to somehow operate an electronic device well enough to say: “Just landed in huston I’m out cha get at ya boy.” “huston?” Really? I mean, I think that’s Chris Johnson… it might be an extremely well-animated cartoon [...]

5 things the Texans need to do to win Monday

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

Okay, turnovers are an obvious point, so I’m not even going to include that. Here we go… 1. Do not give up the big play. Chris Johnson is probably going to get his. I just don’t see any team stopping him right now, but he can be contained. When these teams last met, CJ went [...]
