Official Texans vs. Chargers Game Thread, 11/7/2010

[Joshua]

I've basically decided that if you want to see our future under Kubiak, just look across the field this week. Kubiak is Norv Turner 2.0. A highly regarded OC from a highly successful multiple Super Bowl winner who most likely reached his ceiling as an OC. Much like Norv, I think Kubiak is just good enough to keep people thinking "man, if we can just put it all together next year . . ." In reality, I don't think you can get over the hump with either. Both may get you into the playoffs every now and again but I don't think either has what it takes to actually make any waves once there. Both of their teams are simply under-prepared too often, make too many needless mistakes, and the coaches have too many brainfarts to compete against the truly good teams.

The number of astoundingly bad decisions Kubiak has made that were obviously bad even as they were unfolding is a testament to this. Just off the top of my head - not hurrying up the offense against Indy last year to prevent a challenge (I was screaming at my TV to hurry up in real time, not hindsight), putting the punt return in against J-ville when they were going for it (I was screaming at my TV to call a timeout in real time, not hindsight), HB pass (didn't have time to scream), refusing to run the ball last week (I was screaming at my TV all night in real time, not hindsight), etc., etc.

If Texans dont win this week there will be alot of nerd rage on these boards again lol.

I would say that Joshua summed it up pretty well. Now, what can we do to rectify the situation?

Unless you want to help pay my repair bills you need to quit doing this.

Oh, by the way, this will be one of the two or three games in the team's history that I will deliberately not watch in real time. I'm on a sort of vacation and in a place that does not care one fig about the NFL and I can't be bothered to try to figure out how to watch the game on TV. Yes, I have sling cast and I can buy the game online but screw it. You guys deserve a game without my bitter injections.

Gametime!

Chargers win the toss and elect to receive.

Hester makes a goof and steps out at the 4 on the kickoff.

[Arky]

Hester runs for 2. 2nd and 8 coming up.

Mario hold Mathews for no gain. 3rd and 8 coming up.

Dump to Sproles gets about 7. Chargers have to punt.

Punt is blocked! Keglar on the block! Pollard recovers! Texans ball at the 8!

[HPF Bob]

Nice stand for the D early. Good tackle by Kareem. BLOCK! Texans ball in the red zone.

Room service! Oh, room service...

[HPF Bob]

If we lose this game on a Kris Brown FG, I'll shave my head.

[Arky]

Foster sweeps left for the TD! 8 yards. Yeah, baby....

Texans 7, Chargers 0

[HPF Bob]

Foster's....Houstonian for TOUCHDOWN!!!

1 play, 1 TD.
