A Drunken Reaction To The Game

PrintWhat a let down. I was trying to explain to my wife why I was so depressed during/after the game when I told her,
"I've been a Texans fan since the inception of the franchise. That's seven years without a winning season. Now imagine that you waited seven years for me to propose, and on the night that you thought was going to be "the night", I got naked with your sister. That's why."
I'm now half into a bottle of scotch because of the "white out" today, and I've been looking for reasons to keep hope. This team has so much talent, so much potential and yet every year it stumbles out the gate. EVERY YEAR. You can make the argument that New York's defense looked outstanding, but the Texans are supposed to be to the level where we can compete with any team in the league now, no matter how good they are. That definitely wasn't the case today.
Why does Houston get off to such a slow start every year? I don't know. The obvious answer is coaching, and many people are already calling for Kubiak's head, but I don't think that's the only reason. I really like Kubiak, so maybe I give him too much of a pass. It's either on the players (execution) or on the coaches (scheme).
The ironic thing about Week One is that the majority of us were worried about the defense but considered the offense as close to a sure thing as possible. The result was the opposite. Even though the end-of-the-game stats were bloated for Thomas Jones and the Jets' offense, the truth is that the defense played a pretty solid game and simply stayed on the field for too long and got worn out. I don't have the time of possession numbers handy, but I'm sure it was abhorrently uneven.
I recorded the game and plan to watch it again to break down individual performances. Needless to say, I do not look forward to it. I hope that I see more to be happy about than I did sparingly today, but I doubt it. I'm sure that many of you have more specific feelings that you wish to vent, so here is your venue. Let us know what or how you feel about this game.

I am up in pittsburgh
So I am forced to watch the game on NFL.com and listen to it on KILT.com…I had to turn it off because Mark V. sounded so depressed and it made my depression even worse…Run game…non existent…pass rush…non exisitent….I cry
if a team is too wimpy to play with the roof open
on a freaking beautiful day, no wonder they get their butts handed to them…….
i was wonderin that too...
as i live a 3 min drive to reliant…but they said it was poring there

I'm getting sick and tired
Of Kubiak’s “it’s all on me” bullshit. He needs to tear off the players’ heads and shit down their throats – and he might do that privately, but at his press conference it was more “aw shucks it’s all on me” horseshit.
…and I love Kubes. I wanted him in 2002. Even I’m getting sick of that shit.

I feel same way, like Kubes, but if its on him, he should be held accountable. Wish Houston media members, or 610 employees would press him when he gives that answer. What should you have done differently Gary? Why does your team seem so soft at times, but physical other times? Why can’t you win a single fucking game in September? Are you aware that the pre season is over, and September games do count?

watched it 3 times already...
this game plays like alanis’s first cd.
and what sticks out the most is….
*not getting off the field on 3rd down.
*not recognizing and picking up the blitz.
(rememba how ya told me u would hold dat ball till ya die….. till ya die…… WELL YOUR STILL ALIVE!!!!!!)
(you like pain… but only if it doesnt hurt 2 much.)
and…..
(there’s an obvious attraction to the path of least resistance…..)
i dont even wanna think about next week….
(and immm heaaa! to remind uuuu… of the cross i bear that u gave 2 me!)
fukkkin tits….

but on the upside....
due to loss of brain cells, i can’t even remember the game.

ahahahah
I wish I took that route. You can never get too carried away with green. As for beer, that’s a different story.
side effects from what i do.....
happy, hungry, and forgetful. lol

By now we've probably all heard Dunta's comments
So let me say, officially, but still too late compared to many others.
FUCK. DUnta> RobinsoN.

Oh wait, it doesn’t.

one bandwagon....
that i am getting DAMN close to jumping on. but not yet. i want #23 to be successful, i really really do. but WTF man….. who writes “pay me rick” on the shoes!??!?!?!?
"If you're an asshole, you're gonna come back as a cockroach or a worm or a fuckin' anal bead, okay? If you're a man and you act heroic, you'll come back as an eagle. You'll come back as a dragon."
Just a straight-laced A-hole!
As far as I could tell, he wasn’t getting paid to play football. At $580,000 per game, it looks like he’s a fledgling writer being paid by the word, approximately $193K per word.
The true test in the life of a Texans fan is how gracefully you endure it.
i've been looking all mornin'
haven’t been able to find it. let me know if u find a link
"If you're an asshole, you're gonna come back as a cockroach or a worm or a fuckin' anal bead, okay? If you're a man and you act heroic, you'll come back as an eagle. You'll come back as a dragon."
After he said he was only here to get paid.
I said Fuck Dunta, and he basically said Fuck You Teammates.
Cut him, or try and trade him, he has checked out of Houston mentally already. I would rather watch jaque reeves look like philip bucannon, than watch 23 anymore.

dunta freakin' robinson
I can’t believe it. I hope his hammy turns into dental floss again. It would make some sort of sense if he actually played like an elite corner.
If you're gonna watch....
….the game again so you can break it down. I suggest that you buy another bottle of scotch. Coz you’re gonna need it.
mmm hmmm
i’ve watched it 5 times so far, and i also watched inside the game. all signs leading to what my intial impressions were watching it the first timw, felt like we were in over our heads from that first blitz. shaub got plastered on the 2nd play of the game…. and it was all downhill from there.

Did I hear someone say......
FUCK DUNTA! Yeah I did but it just felt so good to say,
FUCK DUNTA!
I was actually excited to see him back out there for a minute until I watched him play and read the deal about his memo to Rick.
Oh yeah,
FUCK DUNTA!
Confucius says "man who stands on toilet, high on pot".
totally embarrassing!
what a waste of a Sunday afternoon. let’s see…Seat Lisc $6000, Season Tickets $2400
Parking Pass $220..Getting You Ass beat again..priceless!!
Something major needs to be done. Shake up the coaching staff, even at the Head..When Kubes came out and said “it’s on me”..that was as predictable as our offense..oops, we didn’t have an offense..
As a dedicated Fan, I am tired of the empty promises and want something done to make this team better. I love Schaub but maybe he isn’t the right guy..how many times has he been hurt and out?
Look around the NFL, how many other QB’s do you see getting hurt consistently?
I just know that I am truly tired of the mediocre product being shoved down our throat and being told..We can really win 10 games..maybe over 2 seasons….
