Off topic: WTF is up with the Houston Texans?

by grungedave on Dec 6, 2009 4:11 PM CST in Player Analysis

Yes, I know this is a Rockets blog... but I'm allowed to go off-topic when I want.

That said: what the f--k is going on with the Houston Texans???

I have three basic questions.

(1) Why the f--k is Chris Brown throwing a halfback pass near the goalline? First of all, there actually has to be a legitimate threat of a run before that play works. Chris Brown sucks as a RB, so that should have negated this, but... noooooo! Secondly, Chris Brown is not a QB and based on the last time we played JAX, everyone should know he can't hold onto the ball. What makes people think he can throw a football? (What we got was a modified shot put. Ugh.)

(2) On the last drive, why are we blitzing the QB and playing pass routes? There was exactly a 0.0000000% chance that anyone other than MJD was going to be running the ball on every f--king play. So 11 guys should have been running at MJD (and tackling - but that's a whole different issue). More stupid f--king play-calling.

(3) Why the f--k was Chris Brown not cut back in week 3 - aka, the last time we played Jacksonville; aka, the game where Chris Brown fumbled the ball at the goalline costing the team yet another "W". Jimmy Johnson would have cut his ass right away just to prove a point and scare the team into not f--king around. Kubiak apparently is too nice to be a head coach. He lets this linger and the players get sloppier as the season progresses.

F---------k!!!!!!

Chris Brown is in the Jaguars payroll...

It’s my only explanation as to why he’d fuck up twice against the same team

Also, Kubiak needs to go after this season. However, the offensive and defensive coordinators should stay put as they’re not the problem…

Another Sunday of heartache and soul pain

Kubiak is toast.

This may seem obvious to everyone, but I actually have this from one of my few inside sources. Only way out is for him to win out from here.

I’m really disgusted, but unless we can get a really big name (or some budding genius like Payton) are we better off making a move? At any rate, our talent is better than it has ever been, but its up to the players to make plays, and so far, they aren’t. You can’t put that all at Kubiak – how about Boy Wonder Shanahan?

sadly

Kubiak has proven that he is an excellent coordinator, but not a leader of men.

I agree.

And it is sad, because I like Kubiak.

Broncos fans still remember Kubs fondly

It’s a shame he’s struggled so much in Houston.

Because Brown? He would have missed the wall.

And the floor.

I hope a wife/spouse/girlfriend/significant other intercepted it

I liked what the announcer said:

“If you’re in Houston and you somehow missed this play, or your TV still works because you didn’t put your foot through it, this is how that drive ended”.

It sort of gave me a chuckle. What’s funny is I even said it aloud to the entire room, “don’t worry, the Texans will lose possession at the 3 yard line”. I sure as hell didn’t expect it to be from a botched tech play that had absolutely no business being run. Who called that play? Seriously?

true

To be fair, I openly announced to the bar that this is usually the spot where the Texans fumble away the game. The halfback INT was just a new twist.

His refusal to even look at the play in action says it all...

Those of you who watched this live (I did courtesy of NFL Red Zone, which has primarily given me the luxury of watching the Texans choke numerous times live, to my utter dismay) may have noticed how Kubes seemed to ashamedly refuse to look towards the snap after calling or allowing this play to be called. It was also noticed by the announcers on TV. At that point I was expecting a run for a loss, or possibly a fumble, but even this play exceeded my misery index expectations…
