Who In the Hell is Next Man Up Now?

[cadams]

for everyone who says that they don't think the texans will be able to win another game other than the one against indy, my response is REALLY? WTF?

do you think the defense is all of the sudden going to start sucking? carolina is fiesty, but they have a terrible run defense, and only beat indy by a touchdown. the titans scored all of 7 points (at home) against the texans last month. as long as yates doesnt turn the ball over the texans should win at least 3 of their last five. now, the odds are the yates won't come in a lead them to a super bowl, a first round bye, and maybe not even a playoff win, but he didn't look terrible yesterday, and that was basically without ever taking any meaningful practice snaps all year.

now maybe they do crash and burn, and they most likely won't make any noise in the playoffs, but the texans have a good defesne and good special teams. a great set of running backs, and talented skill position players, so to say that they are all of the sudden going to be one of the worst teams in the league is just no realistic. how about we all wait until sunday to see how the kid plays before we decide the season is lost. he doesn't need to be great, just competent . . .

in understand the frustration everyone has, because i have it as well. a lot of my time and money has gone into this team as well, but if i had told you at the beginning of the season that andre was going to miss 6 games, mario was going to be on IR before the halfway point of the season, and schaub, aj and foster would be on the field together for a total of one quarter all year long i am guessing everyone would have said they would make it to 8 wins tops. this team is playing different than it has in the past. there is definitely no cause to think we have the next tom brady on the team in yates, but given what they have already overcome, i think we should at least give them a game or two with yates before calling them garbage (which is what you are saying if you think they only win 1 of the next five games)
