Run the FN ball

The Colts can't stop the run. If the Texans run the ball it pretty much keeps Manning off the field. Instead, the Texans decide to throw the ball all over the field, at first with no success and now just giving the Colts points.

How much money does Kubiak make every year? Wouldn't you like to make that much money to suck ass at your job?

Exactly. Good things happen when we run. Bad things happen when we pass. I don't understand why we keep trying to pass.

Halftime.

I like Schaub and think he is an above average QB, but to me, his body language has always come across as though he doesn't like tackle football too much. In my opinion, he clearly doesn't like the contact and it effects his play. Wasn't it Haynesworth who basically called him a p*ssy a couple years ago? I'm afraid that may be the case. Doesn't mean you can't win with him. Just means that teams that can get to him can change the way he plays.

Halftime stats:

Passing: Schaub 5/15, 37 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT

Rushing: Foster 8/65

Receiving: AJ 3/26, Ward 1/6, JJ 1/5

Tackles: Diles 7, Cushing 4, Pollard/McCain/Quin/Jackson 3 each, Smith/Anderson/Okoye/Cody 2 each

Time of possession: Colts 18:48, Texans 11:12

3rd down conversions: Texans 0/6, Colts 3/8

Turnovers: Texans 1, Colts 0

Red zone: Texans 0/0, Colts 1/1

What the hells wrong with Boomers voice ?

All things considered, the defense hasn't been that terrible. They've held Manning to 10 pts. I wish they tackled better though.

The offense has stunk. What they should be doing is pounding them with Foster and Ward and then try to bust them with play action on a first or second down. We're going to have to keep their speed rushers occupied if we're going to have any deep throws and we can do that if we make them respect the run and then run play action on a running down. Don't wait for third down. They'll know its coming.

This is disgusting.

If the Texans win this game they go to the playoffs. Period. Instead of coming in and playing inspired, intelligent football they take a giant shit on the field.

RUN THE BALL.

I cannot believe how undeserving Kubiak is of having a head coaching job in the NFL if this is what he produces against a terrible Colts defense.

I'm ignoring the fact that they have managed to worsen their defense from average to the worst I have ever seen due to poor personnel decisions, injuries and general idiocy. Even that defense has held the Colts to a reasonable first half point total.

The good news is we won't have to suffer through this sort of totally ineffectual performance next year because the billionaires are not making enough money and the guys who make $300k a year and suffer several concussions are making too damn much money.

Final score: Giants 3, Rangers 1.

Congrats, Giants fan. Last franchise worlds championship: 1954, before I was born.

How sad is that ? Texans just standing around with their thumbs up the azzs
on that last TD.
This was our bye week to, and this is this the best prep & the best effort they could muster ? I really expected them to be competitive. Very disappointing.

Kareem Jackson was a wasted pick. It would have been better not to have taken a pick at that spot and kept the money. He can't cover and he can't tackle. I have no idea why Smith was swayed by the Nick Saban bullshit but he was.

This defense is going to get worse as the year goes on. There is no upside.

On a positive note, it only took Kubiak 40% of the season to realize what all of us already knew which is that Slaton (Slayton for all you morans) sucks ass on kickoff returns.
