I use to say I would rather the team lose a game like they did against the Colts on MNF or the Giants game in Reliant, in other words get blown out, than the way they lost yesterday in NY. Now I know I don't feel that way, because there's no doubt the effort was there yesterday where it's absent in the other situation, even though a loss like yesterday is far more heartbreakeing. This is very, very small consolation this morning and I mean this in no way as a claim of some kind of a morale victory which is of no value to us and our team at this point in its existance, but some guys made some plays yesterday. We had some strong individual performances, just as we had some disastouras breakdowns including one or 2 that cost us a football game. But honestly I'm still not sure that the problem with our defense has been Richard Smith & Frank Bush or the personnel decisions the Texans have made about who to draft (and to a lesser extent to acquire thru FA) and put on the field ?

Did anyone else notice some of the Texans players dancing around and yucking it up on the sidelines after the Texans last FG? Amazing some of these guys would be so cocky that they'd think they had the game won when their indescribably inept Defense was about to hit the field.
After last weeks game Kubiak said changes on the D were going to be made this week. His changes were adding in Sharpton/Allen and moving Bush out of the booth and down to the field. One minor oversight, Gary... Eugene Wilson. After the game Kubiak said the secondary "played a great game until the last drive". Guess he missed the first 3 quarters where Sanchez and Holmes amassed most of their yardage. If it wasn't for an idiotic fumble by Green, the Texans probably whimper off into the sunset. Anyway, correction, Gary... Your DL played a great game, but the secondary still sucked! Oh, and Matrix, step away from any sharp objects. Dude, relax... It's just a game and no reflection on us Houstonians or you yourself. Kubiak is a dweeb and this team going to play like this until he's gone. Expect it and you won't be upset by it.

I've about had it with this team. I've had season tickets since the beginning (hell, I'm paying for one ticket that I don't even use most of the time just so my son will have a seat when he gets older). If Kubiak is retained after this season, I've pretty much decided I'll not renew my tickets. I can't continue to invest this much time and money in a team that perpetually screws up and won't do anything about it.
Between the botched drive at the end of the half, the CB playing outside leverage on Braylon Edwards with no help over the middle for the easiest slant route TD I've ever seen (really, has anyone ever seen someone be so wide open on a slant route from inside 5 yards?), and the CB then playing inside leverage at the end of the game to give up the sideline bomb, this is the most inept coaching staff I think I have ever watched. And you can make a list like this virtually every week. As a final aside, I have it on good authority from someone who "helped" Kubiak with his studies in college that the guy is about as bright as a box of rocks. He had a very difficult time with some fairly basic concepts. While that is a long time ago, basic intelligence generally doesn't change and this guy apparently just isn't very intelligent. Not that this is a shock to anyone around here. Tell me again why QBs have to take the wonderlic but coaches don't? Last edited by Joshua; 11-22-2010 at 09:04 AM.

Re Kubiaks comments, yea I wish he'd just say something like it was a challenging afternoon for the D-backs and leave it at that instead of that crap about how they "played a great game", etc. It just tends to further undermine his cred, which is already at a low. And where's that effort, that performance been from the DLine ? What a game they did indeed play. And will Mario show up again this year ? He played great in the season opener, showed up yesterday, but does that guy return again this season ? If he just had some consistancy ?

I'm thinking now, that McNair really likes Kubiak. So saying, he will have to replace the whole defensive side of the ball in the offseason. Maybe go to a 3-4D? If McNair gets a consultant like he did the last time, I hope he is knowledgable enough about defense that he can reccommend some good young defensive phenoms.

Wow. What a terrible three weeks. I was all fired up for Indy but was not expecting a win. The past three weeks have been painful. All games that we should have won. Honestly, I am numb from the way this team can lose a game. Seriously, who was really shocked at the way the final Jet drive played out? If I it was not so preposterous how they get beat, I think I would have an bleeding ulcer and a bunch of clogged arteries.
Sunday AM, what will I be doing? Drinking from the Battle Red Drinking Fountain, ever the eternal optomist. I will be taking my usual seat for every home game, yellling during player introductions, yelling at stupid Titan fan who worship VY's jock. Yes, I am a Texans fan..I will get up, dust myself off and try my best to be the Home Field Advantage.. I must be a glutton for punishment.

 Rusty Smith at QB? A chance for the Texan secondary to have a really good game though you know that's not a given....-------------- more random optimistic stuff: Bentley had a helluva game - led the team with 8 tackles, 2 TFL's, 1 pass defensed, 1 QB hit, 1 fumble recovery, 1 INT Foster still leading the NFL in rushing yards with 1004. Mario was awesome especially in the 4th quarter, pressure on just about every passing play. Finished with 4 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 TFL's, 2 QB hits.

I agree, I'd rather get blown out than losing the way we did yesterday. That makes it three straight weeks we lose on absolute absurdity. We played well, at least we weren't "complete" no-shows in the first half. Defense played better, at least the front seven. The secondary was just bad as always. I really think its a personnel problem there. It's just a mess. Really sad too. That said, we're only 2 games out of the division. We're not going to win it, but at least it might be compelling going down to that last Jaguars game in Week 17. I guess that's the best to hope for now.

Suns - My oldest brother is a Suns fan and I used to watch games with him back in the early 90s. Fell in love with them, their style, their players, etc. Braves - Same bro was a Braves fan, and it was really easy to fall in love with them, being on TBS basically every day and all. Chipper Jones is my favorite athlete in any sport, ever. Texans - Never really had a football team despite following the game every year, loved the logo and the name when they were announced, figured it was a good idea to just jump in with an expansion team. Since I'm from Fresno, when it became apparent that David Carr was going to be the #1 pick, it just sort of got cemented. Sabres - Used to play with them in older hockey video games, didn't get into hockey full-time though until a few years ago. High-octane offense, hockey city, great goaltending, etc. Pretty interesting though that these teams have taken on my personality. I like guys with strong work ethics, values on high character, etc. Unfortunately, bad luck is always a problem with these teams. I can't even begin to count the instances. These teams are pretty similar in that neither of them are teams that always win championships. The only one that has a ring is Atlanta in 1995, and before that it was 1957 when they were in Milwaukee. Once one of these teams wins one, it'll be extra sweet. ....so yeah, there's that story, lol.

Someone from the board called in to the Joel Dreesen show on 1560 this morning and referenced the post about punch a hole in the wall. Dreesen is a guy who seemed to take the loss hard.
You know, I think these guys do care. I think they do try.. I just don't think the defense is good enough..

The whole secondary gets the bad rap for the whole defense. But I think if we had that dominating inside (DT) pass rusher, we wouldn't be exposing the secondary so much, and the opposing QB wouldn't have all day to pick a receiver. JMHO

Woah, no way, really? LOL. That's pretty cool. What'd they say, "Yeah, some psycho Texans fan from Cali punched his wall out of frustration...what do you gotta say 'bout that!"? LOL.

Serious. It is on the Podcast for the Dreesen show on 1560, I think about 1/2 way through.. It was great. The caller mentioned how frustrated the fans are.. How these losses are killing us. Dreesen said he sat at his locker after the game fully dressed in his uniform in disbelief. He apologized.. said the team is working hard, practicing hard and want to win. He understands the frustration.
He did not advocate hitting walls, dogs, spouses etc..

Was it the Caribbean guy who said he was going to abuse his kids or something? I think Dreesen (or the host) just said "just punch the wall instead" or something like that, lol. Not a direct reference to me, which is somewhat disappointing yet relieving at the same time, lol.
