Official Texans @ Colts Game Thread, 11/1/2010

[Fonz the Boss]

Well we got the split that we needed so credit to the Texans for at least doing that. I still think we win this division if we beat the Jags twice and split with the Titans. The Titans lost yesterday so this division is up for the taking. Titans will at least split with the Colts and that will open the doors for us to be the new AFC South champions.

How do you see the Texans beating the Jags at all much less twice? And how do you see them beating the Titans in this decade?

The Titans are the best team in the division. The Texans just lost convincingly to what I believe is the third best team in the division.

Uhhh... Because the Jags are not that good. They beat a team whose spirits were shattered without their QB. And well we always split with the Titans and this year should be no different. But thats talk for another week. For right now we have to concentrate on beating the Chargers.

True. They'll lose to the Chargers, they'll lose twice to the Titans and they will be very lucky to beat the Jags at all.

Glad to know you know the results. So what will you be doing with your Sundays from here on out?

This team has been outscored 197-170, has the worst D in the league, had to play from behind in almost all of their games, barely managed to outscore the opposition in at least 2 (if not 3) of their 4 wins, has been absolutely spanked in all of their 3 losses, and just got manhandled on national TV (after a bye!!) by a team playing mostly 3rd and 4th stringers in key positions.

Yes, 4-2 sure beats 2-4, but I don't know how anybody watching can feel good with how this team is playing. The D is a sieve and the O seems lost and is getting whipped by physical teams. Throw in Kubiak's total lack of preparation and game planning and you've got a recipe for disaster. Sorry, but it's terribly difficult to be optimistic right now.

FWIW according to the stats Diles had 10 solos while Cushing had a total of 2 last night, so that's where we are on the Brian Cushing at MLB experiement
after the first game. I can't get over how ordinary Cushing looks compared to last season ? Just sayin.
Like the season opener last year vs the Jets, Kubiak & Co had xtra time to prepare for last nights game and they fell flat on their face so I'm thinkin maybe their best game this season maybe will be the Thursday night game with the short week to get ready ? But still I didn't expect a victory in Indy, it's just the way we lost.
About KJ - he made a couple plays last night, but for the second week in a row I found myself wondering how much thought the Texans gave to drafting the Pats rookie from Rutgers, Devin McCourtney, instead of Kareem who made another big play in their game vs the Vikings. And whoever said Smith was talked into drafting KJ by Saban has got the story wrong because had Smith paid attention to the 'Bama coach he would know he was saying Kareem
should remain in school another year. But I'm not for burying Kareem yet, because like Gruden said last night, even 2nd and 3rd string DBs can look OK when
they're on a defense that's got pass-rushers like Freeney up front (where the hell were you Mario ?).

This is a nice time of year to be playing golf. Or take the kids and the wife to the beach. Hell, anything but watch that horribly inept excuse for a pro football team, coached by Rubiack's Cube, and called an address (Texans), for cryin' out loud!!!!!!!!! And after more than 50 years of this same crap, I know I have the right to complain. I've been been through it all.

I'm just going to quietly pat myself on the back for not deleting this week's game thread....
