We have the worst group ever at drawing PI and the worst defensive group ever at getting called for it.

Flags presnap, offsides Chiefs 1/2 the distance. Makes it 1st and 11.

Charles for about 1.

Pass to Fasano gets 4. 3rd and 5 coming up.

Timeout KC......

On 3rd and 5, pass to Bowe goes for 16 and the 1st down.

Screen to Charles gets 9. 2nd and 1 coming up. Ball at the Chiefs 34.

Charles gets 3 and the 1st down.

Davis for 2.

Pass to McGrath goes for 1. 3rd and 7 coming up.

Pass to Avery gets 11 and the 1st down.

Charles gets 6.

Pass to Avery gets big gainer. 17 yards. Ball at the Texan 25.

2 minute warning.

McCain is killing our defense. I can't believe they don't have a better option for 3rd cb.

I was watching the Cowboys earlier and noticed how at virtually every incompletion they'd jump up and act like they'd been brutally violated by a horde of Mongols. Sadly it often worked.

Doesn't look like anyone is playing well on D to me.

Charles for 5. 2nd and 5 coming up.

Screen to Charles gets about 6 and the 1st down at the Texan 14.

Pass to Bowe gets 9. 2nd and 1 coming up at the Texan 5. Timeout Chiefs. 1:03 left in the half.

Smith pressured, throws inc. 3rd and 1 coming up.

Smith runs it in untouched.

Chiefs 14, Texans 10

56 seconds left in the half.

He's bad. But for me the fact that the entire line backing corps is invisible, especially the OLBs, is worse.

Nice defense there. Let them drive 99 yards and eat up the clock. WTH! :mad:

We've now gotten so bad on redzone defense that we give up walk in TDs on broken plays where the offense doesn't even know what they are doing.

My question is when does Wade start getting some heat for lack of a pass rush and horrible red zone defense?

I missed the start of the game. Do we get the ball to start the 2nd half?

Yes. The Texans won and deferred.

Just kidding. The Chiefs won and took the ball.

The ensuing kickoff goes out of the endzone, touchback. Texans ball at their 20.

---------------------------------------

Tate for 8. 2nd and 2 coming up.

Tate for about 10 and the 1st down. Texans call timeout. 13 seconds left in the half.

Pass to Jean goes for 10. 8 seconds left.

Pass to Jean gets 10 more. Ball at the Chiefs 41 with 1 seconds left.

Timeout Texans.

Keenum's hail Mary in the endzone is almost caught but falls inc.

End of the half.

Chiefs 14, Texans 10

Don't know 'bout the rest of the game, but at the half, couldn't ask more of Keenum.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Keenum looks good...especially since he is going up against the best defense in the league...

So even if we lose (do to a defense that plays good on two out every three plays). Does Shaub get his job back?

Case Keenum more than met my expectations so far. No turnovers, no sacks, good play. Now defense has to pick it up.

Btw. Keenum's arm didn't look to weak on toss to the end zone.

I would hope Kubiak sticks with Keenum if this continues.

Halftime stats:

Passing: Keenum 8/12, 151 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT's

Rushing: Tate 11/49, Foster 4/11, Jones 1/4

Receiving: AJ 3/47, Posey 1/42, Hopkins 2/41, Jean 2/21

Tackles: KJ 4, Mays/Swearinger 3 each, E Reed/Cushing/Sharpton/Keo/Mercilus 2 each

Time of possession: Texans 14:46, Chiefs 15:14

1st downs: Texans 10, Chiefs 13

3rd down efficiency: Texans 4/6, Chiefs 4/6

Red zone: Texans 0/0, Chiefs 2/2

Total yards: Texans 215, Chiefs 185

Penalties: Texans 3/30, Chiefs 2/6

Turnovers: Texans 0, Chiefs 0

I agree, let it ride.

2nd half kickoff goes out of the endzone, touchback. Texans ball at their 20.

--------------------------------

Keenum can't find a receiver and scrambles for 8 or 9.

Tate gets 2 and the 1st down.

Tate gets caught for loss of 2. Tate injured on the play. Oh boy, no Cierre Wood. Injury timeout.

Oh no, Tate's down.

Looks like glassman Tate maybe hurt. Can it get any worse for our rbs.

Ohoh, Foster already out with Hammy. Now Tate hurt. Wood inactive.

So FB Ben Jones now our RB? Who else? Four wide.

Still no PI.

On 2nd and 11, pass to AJ goes inc. 3rd and 11 coming up.

Pass goes inc but flags on Chiefs for offsides makes it 3rd and 6 coming up.

Keenum gets sacked. Texans to punt on 4th and 11.

McCluster brings the punt back to the Chiefs 18. Chiefs ball.

Unbelievable!! We get a penalty for going below the knees at Alex Smith and they just did it to Keenum and we get no call. :mad:

Charles for 1.

Woohoo! Charles fumbles and KJ recovers! Texans ball at the Chiefs 28!

Is that the first off schedule play we've seen a QB make in two years since Yates scrambled as a rookie?

The more I see of Keenum the more irresponsible Kubiak and Smith become.

Pass to Graham goes all the way to the 1! 1st and goal at the 1. Timeout Texans.

Keenum keeps for 1/2 yard. 2nd and goal from the 1.

Jones tackled for loss of 2. 3rd and goal from the 3.

Pass to Hopkins gets broken up, inc. Texans to go for the FG.

Bullock's 21-yarder is good.

Chiefs 14, Texans 13

9:24 left in the 3rd quarter.

Where is the like button for this?:D

Can we get a frickin call in this game? The guy clearly grabbed Hopkins.

Wow, another good throw by Keenum, thought for sure Hopkins could come down with that for 6.

I guess pass interference just doesn't get called anymore unless you are Kareem jackson

There is not a team in the NFL that would have gone to the UDFA coming off a playoff season. Maybe a few teams pull the plug a week or two earlier and that's on Kubs, but Smith gets no blame for that (and plenty of credit for signing him).

That throw was way inside when it should have been outside. Only Hopkins effort gave him a chance.

I'm thinking more of Schaub's contract than the timing of going with Keenum.

And there's another former Texan to embarrass the Texans' special teams.

Can these refs kill us any worse? The guy is running full speed down the middle of the field and enters his slide in the middle of the tackle and its a penalty?

That call on Swearinger is highly debateable too.

Now Cushing might be hurt.

I'm all in with you then. That was a terrible move (and clearly about panic on the eve of the season).

Chiefs bring the kickoff all the way back to the Texan 46.

---------------------

Smith scrambles for big gain and roughness on Swearinger places the ball at the Texan 10.

Sherman for 4.

Short pass to Sherman gets 1. Cushing injured. Injury timeout. 3rd and goal at the Texan 6.

Charles stopped at the 4. Chiefs to go for the FG.

Succop's 22-yarder is good.

Chiefs 17, Texans 13

6:07 left in the 3rd quarter.

In fact, I'll credit Kubiak for going with Keenum today when Yates was the more cautious, Texan, Kubiakian option.
