I suppose Kubiak and co. will be canned, and rightfully so. There’s plenty of talent on both sides, but the coaches play a huge part in turning that talent into a good team. If we start 0-4 again I’ll be on the fire Kubiak bandwagon.

all off-season to game plan for this team (a Rex Ryan defensive team) and this is what the game plan was? Horrible. Can we beat a really aggressive Titan team next week? Are you kidding me? Grrrrr I guess I’ll be going hiking with the wife and dogs next weekend too. I just can’t believe the disgust that I have felt all day.

And those people need to have their heads examined.

Brian Dawkins and Nick Collins playing safety or some other tandem of safeties that dont suck so bad as ours.

darelle revis enough credit. that dude played a hell of a game vs AJ. he was 1 on 1 with him the majority of the game. either revis played good d on AJ or schaub didnt see him if he was open. the thing that pisses me off the most (besides the horrendus effort on offense) was that we didnt sack sanchez once!!!!!!! with motherfucking mario williams and antonio smith (who is getting paid way too much from the looks of it) were flat out horrible. yes, the jets have a great o line. their weakness is their tackles though. ferguson is good but mario is better. and smith should have played better. he was nowhere to be found. i will give mario credit for contributing to the run D effort. kind of funny how every third down play was a pass. we should have expected it after they were 5 for 7 on third downs (something like that) in the third quarter. frank bush is shit. he doesnt know how to use our defense. we need another coordinator.

From my traditional post game pass out session. New season, same fucking shitty Texans. Not sure its worth actually purchasing a ticket to next weeks game in Nashville. Might just blackout at Sam’s while watching real NFL teams play on TV. How can 3rd down D suck so much and you don’t throw at 80 on single time in the first half??? This is on the coaching staff. I’ve never seen a less prepared football team.

I haven’t seen this many gutted fish in a long time

FUCK FUCK FUCKU FKCUFKCUKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKUFCKUFKCUFUC FUCKF FUCKFUCKFUCKUFCKFUCKUCF

What the fuck was that? I went to the game. It was pathetic. Even the die-hard fans sitting next to me were just as disappointed.

Our offense just fucking disappeared. What the hell kind of offense was that? We BARELY even got 100 yds on offense. That’s some bullshit.

By the way, can we PLEASE fucking find a way to at least TOUCH the opposing quarterback? A ROOKIE had all the time in the world to throw the ball.

At least you guys get to drink this game off, i’m stuck trying to do AP Calculus. Great.

No, seriously. Just like with the Rockets, I’m tired of always being middling and never getting anything to show for it. If we’re going to be mediocre, let’s just go full bad, and get something for it, like a high draft pick. Of course, Gary would just use it on another DB anyway…

That we were that unprepared. Again. This is unbelievable. I will consider it nothing short of a staggering success if we finish the season at 8-8 as I predicted.

And I won’t be happy about that.

Also,

Fuck Dunta.

Who said the Defense would be the story of this game? The Defense was the story, they horrible, and they outscored our offense.

Perhaps this was our annual COMPLETE AND TOTAL FUCK UP( see oakland).

Matt Schaub obviously needs more ankle time, so I say let Sexy Rexy start against the Tits and see what happens!

I’M VOMITING FROM THE BANDWAGON, BUT I AINT EVER GETTIN’ OFF!!!

~ throws bfd a rope from the bandwagon, just so he can be dragged along until he decides to get on… ~

this loss falls squarely on #1 Matt, and #2 the coaching staff. Matt becuz he knew he had ZERO mobility. how can u be productive when u r nothing but a big ass stationary target? i know im not the only one who had dreams of Vick dancin’ thru my head…. and it falls on the coaching staff for not gameplanning more effectively. when a team is over 75% on 3rd down, that’s ridiculous. im dissapointed, but cautiously optomistic. we couldnt have played a worst game, and we still had a chance in the 4th. our offense did nothing, and yet if we have a strong 4th, we win. hopefully ben taub shaub will come out like a man possessed next week. and #23 is just an ASS. it’s obvious he can’t shake the injury. for ex., pre injury #23 runs THRU plays. post injury #23 is so afraid to fukk up his leg he DIVES constantly. run play, pass play, it dont matter, dunta will be doing his best superman imitation. all in all… dissapointing, but i still say 12-4.

…is an ass.

Honestly, shoe born commetns aside, why the HELL does he have to try and jump tackle everyone. Can you not just STAY ON YOUR FEET AND WRAP THEM UP.

Watch him, half the time he gets close then LAUNCHES himself through the air at them like he’s fking superman.

FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL

NO WAY this team makes the playoffs.

Why do we suck so bad against 3-4 schemes? And why havent we adopted the 3-4? It seems to be a much better defense when you look around the league.

Of course Personally I’m of fan of the buddy ryan 4-4. That defense STOMPED EVERYONES FKING HEADS IN.

Too bad our secondary sucks to bad to consider using it.

when he had the chance. The dude knocked Myers outta the way like a rag doll and Schaub proceeded to turn and cringe (as did I). Rather than plant him into the turf HARD, Jenkins just pushed him down. Schaub lives to get sacked another day. See, there is something positive to take away from this game. The Jets were gentlemen about this one.

Besides Jenkins taking pity on Schaub and Texans fans by saving us from Sexy, just about the only other thing I liked was the defensive play calling. I saw guys placed right at the right spot over and over again and they whiffed on tackles, let the guy run right by them, or simply got blocked like pee-wees.

I don’t see why everyone’s jumping off the bandwagon. Everyone was so supportive when they saw this shit earlier. Dunta and Cushing were the saviors everyone predicted they’d be given the mountain of evidence to support such claims. The running game we saw the previous four games is just getting revved up. Slaton’s not as slow as he appears. It’s an illusion, people! The playoff contenders will emerge next week when the real season starts.

IT’S ONLY PRE-SEASON!!!!! IT STILL DOESN’T COUNT!!!! IT’S ONLY PRE-SEASON!!!!!

Sorry for my absense guys, I am just recovering from getting trampled by all the people jumping off the band wagon.

For my piece let me say I think Koobs got it compleetly right in the post game press conf. He deserves the majority of the blame for this! I love Koobs but, this is nothing new. Whenever we see a 3-4 that can push the line, has good edge protection, and some decent secondary, we ALWAYS get hammered, knowing this he said they game planed mostly for the base D but the fact is he should have know there was a good chance they would be playing from behind. 2nd I don’t think little Shanny did a good job at all if he was calling plays. The play calling on O never attacked the obvouse weekness across the middle with timing routes and TE quick passes. Schaub deserves some of the blame, for having horrible footwork and never being on target. The coaches should have seen how much the injury was still effecting him, and pulled him. A imobile, off target QB is never going to win you games.

I though the D was Ok considering how much time they spent on the field and that is was the first time Bush was calling D plays. Although the secondary was horrible and the line seemed to get man handled alot.

The other thing I have to say is Sanchez is amazing for a Rookie, he was hurried a lot of times but moved well, kept his composure, had great foot work, and was on target most of the time. The Texans did exactly what they said they would do, force Sanchez to beat them, and on every 3rd down he did.

On the upside My Broncos won(who knew that would happen) although I don’t expect a lot of that this year.
I have to give it to the Broncos and UofH keep practicing the tip drills apperently it pays off.

2 biggest images that stick with me?
*AJ on his hands and knees at the end of the game.
*A smiling Mark Sanchez. ugh. no “rookie” should ever be smiling after his first NFL game.

“worst in Texans history”, “inexcusable”, “soft”, “stinker”, “sickening”, “mailing it in”

Whew! There’s even RJ coming with the sarcasm. Where’s the love, people?
Of course this wasn’t anywhere near the worst game in Texans history. First, other than their opening game against the Cowpatties, I can count every game David Carr ever played. Pancakes had to go there, didn’t he? Mr. 10-6.
Inexcusable? Mr. Solomon should learn that nobody goes 2-14 on Mr. McNair, but 3-13 is quite acceptable. Hell, ole’ Solomon was floating excuses just a week ago. He even presaged himself, saying everyone would need to give the defense time.
Soft? What preseason games did Mr. Zeirlein watch?
Stinker? Sickening? Nothing a few brewskies can’t fix. That way you’re too drunk to smell and sick from the brew. The Texans? You’ll forget all about ‘em.
Mailing it in? Hey, now that implies they didn’t play up to their ability, suggesting that Ms. Stradley can, unlike the rest of us who watched meaningless, show nothing preseason games, and has accurately gauged the ability of this team. They don’t suck. They just mailed it in. That’s good to hear. I was starting to get worried.

This whole franchise has been screwed up since the start. Maybe the best thing is to move it out and try again.

how after months and months of excitment and anticipation it can be packaged up and shoved back up my ass in a matter of 3 hours. Oh well, maybe it can be dislodged after next Sunday but I won’t bet the farm on it. I’m not hitting the panic button. I hit the pissed off button because I don’t panic when I’m pissed. The only thing that can and will help is if we go out and play like a professional football team against the Titans and win. Then I can put my finger near the panic button again.

how every hack sportswriter, every blogger and every blog commentator could know that we had a problem against 3-4 defenses and it still somehow took our coaching staff off guard.

How on earth does that happen?

…summed up the whole game for me.

I think the Texans are proof enough that while a “small, highly trained, highly mobile” force may be good against insurgents and suicide bombers….IT DOESNT FKING WORK IN FOOTBALL.

I still say we win 10-11 games this year. Indy didn’t look very good. Jacksonville still has no offense. Tennessee would have trouble if the Texans offense ever gets to take the field. Our schedule remains rather soft — and it’s possible that the Jets are much, much better than anyone is giving them credit for.

So yeah, yesterday sucked balls, but we’re still going to the playoffs, dammit.

Yesterday was beyond depressing. Not only did I get sucked into all of the hype of the offseason, but I have been trying to convert everyone I know here in San Diego to Texan fans. Some friends of mine and my wife went to the local sports bar here in Charger country to catch the game. All of us were decked out in our Texans gear waiting for the kickoff. Thankfully the Chargers weren’t playing or it would be damn near impossible to find a seat. We parked it next to some Viking fans that were actually good company and began to glare at the lone Jets fan across the bar. If I could have prophesied what the outcome would have been, I wouldn’t of glared. As the game wore on, each and every trip to the bathroom became more embarrassing then the next. For some damn reason there were more Cowboy fans in the bar then anyone else. So I was not only pissed about the mental and physical abuse of my team, but I had to listen to Cowboy fans cheer every damn time they did something. I felt like going postal and decided to drown my anger and sorrows in Blue Moon.

Please for the love of God will something positive happen to this team.

for the lack of cheerleader action. CBS should know if a team is getting its ass kicked, the fan needs two things, beer, and boobs. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any boobs. Heres a toast to gay cameramen.

Oh and Fuck Dunta.

And that little pre-pubescent prick kyle shanahan for repeatedly throwing Slaton into the middle of the defense so he could get butt-sexed.

The tailgating weather was good, a little humid, but the cloud cover and unseasonably low temperatures were quite nice. Didn’t even need a tent. I started with 2 screwdrivers, heavy on the cheap vodka. Then there were 3 Octoberfests by Samuel Adams. My first time tasting that variety of Sam and I must say I highly recommend it. Tossed the pigskin for about 10 minutes to get in the mood and work up an appetite. About this time the philly cheesesteak on the grill is about done. Outstanding sandwich. Two more beers before going to my seats, a couple of Shiners from their family reunion 6 pack. Dont remember which 2 they were, but all Shiners are good. Grabbed an $8 beer on the way in, it was an Amber type and damn tasty, can’t remember the name. Inflated the complimentary blow up oversized finger and now I am ready for some football. Too bad the Texans seemed lost out there. I have only missed a few games in our short history, but taking everything into context, meaning our (apparently overinflated) high hopes for a winning season and playoff hunt, this has to be at the top of the list for most crushing defeat in our history. Had one more of those tasty $8 amber things at halftime. The 2nd half is pretty much not in my databank at this time. Just as well. Don’t have any desire to watch that game again.

I thought Cush and Dunta would help the D. Cush wasn’t bad, but Dunta was. Now I am hoping that Eugene and Frenchy will be our 2 saviors. The way Myers was manhandled yesterday, please give the youngster Antoine Caldwell some playing time (excuse me if they did because I have very little recollection of the 2nd half). Saw a few player’s postgame comments saying that this was only one game. They are absolutely right, and I hope that means they are going to lay it all on the line next week, because that bad taste in my mouth is not just because of the 9 drinks I had yesterday.

(PLEASE) GO TEXANS!!!!!!!!!!!!
