Official Texans @ Cardinals Game Thread, 10/24/2021

[Arky]

Prater adds a 31 yard FG for the Cards.

Cardinals 17, Texans 5

5 seconds left in the half.

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

There was 2:45 left in the half. The Texans had the ball and did the fastest 3 and out in history. They punted. Cardinals march down the field and still get 3 points. Two possessions and two changes of field position in less than 2:45. Amazing.

This is the part of the game where the Texan defense usually goes on vacation....

Cards have the ball at their 12 with 11:31 left in the 3rd qtr.

Murray hits Ertz for a 47 yard TD pass.

Cardinals 24, Texans 5

7:58 left in the 3rd qtr.

Final score ends up being 31-5 Cardinals.

James Connor had a 14 yard rushing TD in the 4th qtr.

The stats are brutal.....

I love the articles talking about how the Texans aren't just losing, they're getting crushed.

The team is clearly trying to lose. That is either wrong or it isn't. Trying to lose by 7 isn't better or worse than trying to lose by 30. Tanking is either bad or it's not. Maybe it's more embarrassing to get crushed, but if this franchise cared about embarrassing then we'd be in a different discussion. We constructed a roster to lose and hired a nice guy to oversee the losing. David Culley took the job because he's in his 60s and has never even been a coordinator, but there has been no pretending on any front that we wanted to play competitive football.
