The Perfect Stereotypical Texans Game

Margical_medium

Alternate picture: Sally Field as Sybil Dorsett.

Two stat lines tell about 95% of the game.  First:

Houston Comp Att Yds Pct Y/A Sack YdsL TD INT Rating
M. Schaub 25 39 357 64.1 9.2 0 0 4 0 127.8

 

I took the liberty of highlighting what I believe are the most important stats up there.  Second:

Tennessee Rush Yds Avg. Lng TD FumL
C. Johnson 16 197 12.3 91 2 0

 

I'm going to leave off Chris Johnson's 87 yards receiving.

The difference between our spanking last week and a win this week was simply Matt Schaub staying upright.  Nothing else was different.

Defensively, we are a nightmare.  We gave up 449 yards today a week after allowing the Jets to pound us for 462.  Last year, the Jets averaged 331 yards/game and the BE-SFs 314.  Yes, we have been abused by two poor offenses.  The Jets hung a more expected 254 on the Pats today.

We won today despite our defense, not because of what they accomplished.  Even Vodka Collins' fumble was accidental, not because of a great hit (if you didn't see, Collins attempted to dribble the ball downfield a la Matt Nordgren).  Our defense is still vagina soft, and we even lacked the blitzing aggressiveness we at least tried against the Jets.  Not only is the defense still sorry, but we seem to be regressing under Frank Bush.  Fred Bennett, especially, has become a pathetic shell of himself.  Two pieces of good news on defense.

John Busing seems to have become the man at strong safety, which is also kinda scary considering he couldn't find playing time for three years with the Bungles.  BUT, he's still an upgrade over Dominique Barber, and Busing was all over the field in the second half.  Barber appears to be the one who blew the coverage on the "Chris Johnson is invisible!" play.

And Brian Cushing is improving, especially his tackling.  However, as well as he plays against the run, the problematic reverse corollary is he's equally bad against the pass. He had a tough time covering Alge Crumpler, which is just mind boggling.

462, 449, and we have one sack all year...by Super Mario, of course.  Just three turnovers (and, really, only two created).  So much for our new and improved defense.

Offensively, our run game is worrisome, though we have faced two good run defenses in the Jets and BE-SFs.  Steve Slaton's Reggie Bush-esque numbers are painful to see.  Outside of this, our offense looks like a JUGGERNAUT.  Today, Schaub reminded me of the time I watched Dr. DeBakey perform open heart surgery.  The offensive line did a solid job keeping Schaub's uniform clean, and Owen Daniels and, of course, Andre Johnson both stepped up with huge games.  Jacoby Jones is now averaging 31 yards/catch over the last two years (too bad it's just five receptions), but his touchdown (and it was, Steve Tasker, you little bitch) catch was a thing of beauty.

On special teams, Kris Brown was perfect (as usual) and the aforementioned Jacoby, after not dropping a damn thing all year, decided to botch a punt.  We got mighty damn lucky on the call.

This game was a perfectly played Texans game.  It was a stereotype.  Piss-poor defense, dominating offense, and a "fumble" by Jacoby.  It's your 2008 Texans in 2009.

Next week, we get the Jacksonville Jaguars, a team that failed to stop the juggernaut that is the Kurt Warner experience.  Warner didn't take a single sack.  If the Jaguars are equally unable to pressure Schaub, another shoot-out is in the works.

One other stat to throw out there

Texans 2, Titans 0

I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?

Simply put...

The Titans are not the same without a financially motivated Fat Albert. They really ARE an 0-2 team without him. Finnegan is being exploited as the suck he is, too, which I love.

the good thing is.....

we don’t have to try to contain a monster scatback (Leon Washington/Crissy Johnson) every week. We obviously have our issues, with speedy, little, dress wearing, RBs.

Then again, even if we did have to face such backs every week, at least we’d be .500. Count your blessings. Our defense is still very young. The season is long. We have more time to improve.

Eventually we will run the ball, as well. I promise.

Defense

While our D did give up some awful big plays (and lets face it, that’s expected), they also made some really key stops behind the LOS and on 3rd downs in the 2nd half. So it wasn’t all an abomination.

Key D stat

0 points allowed in the 4th quarter. Only 7 in the 2nd half total. That’s not bad. That means that we adjusted. I’ll take some solace in that. Besides, even though Johnson tore us up, that one play where Dominque Barber decided to be totally awful, was in my mind an anomaly. That (hopefully) won’t happen every week. So yes, it was a bad mental lapse, but it was an easily fixable one. Without that play our defense could probably pass for shitastically medicore rather than just plain shit. I dunno, maybe I’m just an optimist.

Pretty much my thoughts too

We were blown out early and often, but played better as the game wore on. Cushing in particular stood out in run defense. Could be that we are still a work in progress, much like the offense last season and will continue to improve over the next few weeks. If the offense can carry us until then, we may be OK.

if i were giving out gameballs....

Coach Koob. for gettin em ready after last week’s meltdown. kudos sir!
*
Owen Daniels. that long 3rd down catch after the penalty was huge. offensive MVP this game, in my opinion.
**Glenn Martinez and James Casey. Special Team standouts. it was Casey who actually got that hit, Brantley just finished him off.
and officially….
FUCK DUNTA.
whiffed on at lease 2 tackles, got completely blocked out of one td run, and hit that guy late as hell. PLUS, involved in the scuffle, even tho he wasnt on the field. and while im giving out the finger….
FUCK JJ.
talk about maturity huh? fumbled away that punt…missed a blocking assignment (led 2 schaubby getting blasted from the blindside) AND threw at least 2 punches in the scuffle.
besides that, a win is a win is a win. hopefully chester will be okay… we came out injury free for the most part, considering how intense and chippy this game was. great great statement game for us. everyone knows the TITS are considered the “bullies” of our conference, so to go to THEIR house, and drop a L on em feels great.

AND Martinez had the block of the game

Martinez picked up a blitzer on the long Johnson TD pass. Neither JJ nor Davis make that block, but Martinez did (Walter nails it, natch).

yes that was a great blitz pickup

Martinez has a head for the game, and we should find a permanent roster spot for him. Speculation was that he was being carried only because of Walter’s gimpy hammy, but he excels on special teams and deserves to stay IMO.

I hate to ask stupid questions, but what is the BE-SF reference?

Texans worked a miracle today. Sorry you missed it. Was truly memorable game. Came from 14 down, Game filled with big plays, including some major D blunders by the Good guys. Schaub, Dre and OD were spectacular. JJ made a great TD catch, but almost fumbled the game away on a muffed fair catch.

the Texans seemed to be introducing the novel “break but don’t bend” defense for that game. I mean, other than literally those 3 Chris Johnson plays, I’d take that defensive performance any day. Unfortunately, that still leaves those three plays.

by killtacular on Sep 20, 2009 11:02 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

While the D did suck today at times,

The 2nd half defense was spectacular sans the 91 yd TD run by johnson.
Drive by Drive for the tits in the 2nd half:
3 and out: +4 yds
91 yd TD
3 and out: -1yd
3 and out: + 9 yds
Turnover on Downs: +40 yds
3 and out: +8 yds
Lost Fumble: +12 yds

If you take out the big play than the titties only gained 72 total yards in the 2nd half, including 4 three and outs, a turnover on downs, and a lost fumble. That gives me hope for the defense if we can cut out the big play. Plus you have to remember that Dunta is still getting into shape and Eugene Wilson just came back from injury.

It wasn’t that the Texans were that bad last week, the Jets were just that damn good. Thanks Tennessee for laying that defensive egg & restoring my faith in my Houston Texans. Just shore up a few things on defense, & they’ll be ready to cause some real damage.

I said in the other thread

That unless our defense gets better, we’re still an 8-8 team. The good news is, I believe we might. I don’t recall a Richard Smith-led defense stopping the opposing team as much as this one did today, even if they did get burned by several big plays.

In my mind, those big plays are a function of a youngish defense and a new coordinator. However, the d made adjustments today, something I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. This gives me hope.

Still, I can see us getting carried away by this win and losing to the Jags.

Jacoby

I’m sorry, because that TD was really nice, but this kid has got to go. If we’re not going to be working him into the offense when KW and Apostrophe come back, there’s no reason to keep his hands of granite around.
The somersaults that my tummy does everytime a fuggin punt goes in the air are seriously getting old. Honestly, I’d rather just rush the punter and not have a returner back there at all.
Also, with how he looked in preseason, and how shit-tacular our ground game is going, why is Moats not getting 3-4 carries a game? Could it possibly be WORSE than what we’re currently getting?

Couple things here...

The bobble was recoverable. I believe jacoby would have caught it off the bounce because he was right on it.

That said, he has been bad with punts.

Move Martinez to punt duties and make Jacoby prove his worth at receiver.

That TD catch was amazing, and shows he has some talent. That part of his game is worth trying to develop.

The TD catch was over the top ridonculous

but the drop on the play before the TD was vintage JJ. He has got to learn to concentrate on catching the ball. It’s got to be a mental thing, but it will be his undoing if he can’t get over the drops.

Was that good end-of-game coaching I saw?

Seriously, at fourth and short on their final drive, Kubiak didn’t challenge the spot or take a timeout, both of which would allow the defense to rest. He didn’t wuss out and go for the field goal with more than 3 minutes remaining. He lined the defense up and went for it, QB sneak right over the middle. Given his past coaching choices, I expected Kubiak to go with one of the first three options rather than the one that gave them the best chance to win. I was telling him exactly what to do and he listened to me. Apparently, just this once, he could hear me through the t.v. Then, I told them to get a turnover at the end of the game and they did that too. Seriously, that’s never happened before.

Unlike some others...

I actually credit the Texans with forcing that fumble at the end of the game. No one touched Collins per se, but he fumbled as a result of the offensive game calling and the defensive pressure. By taking more time off the clock and forcing the Titans to use up their timeouts, the offense put more pressure on Collins to make a play quickly. The defense didn’t play prevent and went after Collins, forcing him to move around the pocket. He’s focused on his lack of time and timeouts and he needs to make a play. He forgets about taking care of the football and drops it. The rest is history.

Any game in which we give up almost three hundred yards of total offense to one person should not be considered the best in franchise history. It just shouldn’t.

That would suck

In fact, it still sucks that we gave up so much yardage to one guy (it sucks even more that on three of his touchdowns he was literally untouched).

I don’t see how you can consider any game in which our defense gives up nearly five hundred yards as the best in our franchise’s history, regardless of the actual result.

I have a sneaking suspicion

That this year’s Titans may not be as good as in years past. That’s one reason why I don’t think this is the biggest win in franchise history. If they finish 6-10 would people look back on this game and say that it was the greatest in our history? I’m not sure.

Furthermore, it’s only the second game of the season, so this isn’t crucial yet. Last year, we were a freakish two-minute drive away from going 0-5. This might have meant the end of Kubiak and Schaub and another few years of rebuilding. Instead, we won a challenge, got a hugely freakish catch by Dre and ran a ballsy sneak into the end zone to beat a playoff team with no time left on the clock. That, to me is one of the biggest wins (if not the biggest) in our history.

Also up for consideration imo are the Cowboys, the Colts and last year’s Packers game.

No

It’s totally fine to think that way. You don’t have to qualify it at all. I hate the tits as much as anyone on this planet and I see the validity in saying that this is the biggest win in franchise history. I just don’t see it that way. So don’t even sweat it.

Have to disagree..

This game is the most inportant of Kubiaks tender for several reasons.

1. Coming off a humiliating defeat.
2. Beat a division rival away from home
3. Still early in the season
4. Came from behind AWAY from home
5. Most importantly we played a full four quarters with no let up
6. Defense came up with big 4th quarter stops
7. Half of our offense (running game) was shut down so we did it one-dimensionally
8. We had ATTITUDE and SWAGGER
9. Andre Johnson TALKED SMACK
10. The 4th quarter coaching decisions were CORRECT for once.

This is the game that has the potential to launch the Texans on a playoff bid.

emotionally, i cant think of another game in which i was so vested. when AJ caught that tip drill TD, i literally lost all composure. never done that previous. and you could just feel the tension on the field.

i agree on all points EXCEPT....

5. Most importantly we played a full four quarters with no let up.
this game shouldn’t have been close. those two early touchdowns are UNACCEPTABLE. if we contain CJ on those big plays, score isn’t even close.

how can i rub that in your guy’s faces? it could’ve went either way. i think we both leave with a horrible taste in our mouths after that… it was more like a UFC fight in which we won by split decision, as opposed to a knockout punch that leaves a guy limp and twitchin. now had we done THAT… i would be in a gloating mood. as it is, im reflective. what does that mean for us? for you guys? what happens next week when you guys play the Jets? that’s one game i will be watching.

I’m sorry oiler fans….
but I grew up an oiler fan….a die hard, became depressed when they left, didn’t watch NFL until they went to the superbowl fan, only to watch them lose like the oilers lose.

Nothing against the fans, but you guys have no idea what that feels like, I don’t care where you’ve been(sports wise, I don’t mix sports feelings for real life). Playing the oilers Twice a year, and losing mostly to them, is like watching your hot ex-wife give great head in a movie, when she never let you in on it…..

Seriously, I use oilers as a derogitory name for a team I love to see lose.

Good Luck this season…..but I hate the oilers.

she/he looks nasty even for a man
or…
srsly, dude, did you take the picture with that asian trannie in thailand?
or did you pay to have your shemale brought to houston?
or…
answer my question about your transvestite anal-loving profile pic
taken in thailand or houston?
now you tell me….. what does my pro pic have to do with me laughing at you TIT fans becuz you lost? nothing at all. which is what started everything. so congrats at being the WORST fukkin team in the division. and "trolling"? call it what you want… but you guys lost. so get over it.

Also, were you talking to yourself when you said “History lesson guy makes an appearance”?
YOU started your comment with "a history lesson…" Which then PROVES MY POINT!!! You referred to the Titans as the TITS (not that bad) but then used the moniker BE-SF, which means Baby eating – sister f***ers, which is a lame joke on the Titans of Ancient Greece and a shot at "Redneck" Tennesseans rolled into one. So you made it inappropriately sexual FIRST while posting pictures of you with trannys on your profile, then got mad when people asked why you were in a picture with a tranny. Your team did win, yes, but that doesn’t make you any less of an idiot.

Offensive Coordinator?

Did anybody else notice Kubiak with the offensive charts in his hands on the sideline during the game? I don’t recall seeing that at the Jets game. Shanahan is getting all of the credit this week, but when I saw the charts, I wondered if Kubiak took some of the coordinator duties back after last weeks train wreck.
