Predicted the turnover yet again.

**sigh**

[Arky]

3rd down pass sails out of the endzone so Jags to go for the FG.

24 yard attempt is good.

[Nconroe]

Come on defense, we need you today. Too much time for Garrard to complete his passes.

[Arky]

AD brings the kickoff back to the 21.

Screen to Moats good for 2.

Low pass to AJ goes inc. Brings up 3rd and 8.

Schaub sacked, fumbles but Jags get called for roughness/facemask. Auto 1st down Texans at the Texan 33.

C Brown for no gain.

[Fonz the Boss]

No Owen Daniels, no Steve Slaton, no Jacoby Jones, and no Matt Schaub (for most of the first half)...... Did we even have a shot at winning? With our shaky defense?

[Arky]

2nd down pass to DA looks inc. but Kubes throws the red flag. Replay looks favorable....

Play is ruled a catch! Brings up 3rd and 5 @ the Texan 38.

No one open so Schaub has to throw it away. Texans have to punt.

Punt is muffed! AD recovers at the Jags 16!

[sinnister]

It's going to be an uphill battle from here. We must score on this possession.

[Golden Arm]

A TD here makes it a one-possession game. Hard to fathom after the 14-point hole Sexy Rexy put us in. Come on, guys. Pick this up.

[Arky]

Moats sweeps for 2.

Pass to AJ goes for 4. 3rd and 4 coming up.

C Brown is tripped up for a gain of 1. Brings up 4th and 3.

False start offense -5. K Brown on for the FG.

[TheMatrix31]

You might as well SPIKE it instead of these stupid playcalls.

[TheMatrix31]

LMFAO if only they ran that Andre screen on first.

[TheMatrix31]

Aye aye aye aye aye

Why aren't we doing that more. Why do we run that stupid 3rd down call.....

[chuck]

Here's a problematic situation - when McNair shitcans Kubiak after this year the new guy is obviously going to ditch this stupid zone blocking bullshit. Which will mean finding bigger interior linemen, you know, guys who can actually block and pass protect and all that esoteric stuff. The team desperately needs secondary help and defensive line help. How do they approach the draft? I would expect them to draft secondary first and DL second and try to fill the gaping needs at OL through FA.
