Chiefs at Texans Post Game Breakdown

Wow. Everybody put your defibrillators away; I’ll give you a second to catch your breath. None of that would be constituted as pretty, but in the NFL a win is a win. Also, at 4-2 the Texans are guaranteed to have at least a share of first place in the AFC South going into the bye. Now that we have gotten the pleasantries out of the way, get ready for some not so nice words about your beloved Houston Texans.
This defense is one of the worst I’ve seen in detail in my life. Kudos for coming up with the stop so the offense can win, but the ugly truth is that it would have been a lot worse if Matt Cassel had capitalized on the lacking coverage more. Today, it just got a lot worse with the loss of DeMeco Ryans. No word yet on the severity of his injury, but Achilles injuries usually aren’t minor. For a more in depth look at the game that was, follow after the jump.
Let’s get all of the negatives out of the way. As noted above, this was far from a good game for the defense. The feeling I have right now after that game does not equate to 31 points given up, which isn’t a small number to begin with. Not only did Matt Cassel become the latest quarterback to have a phenomenal game against the Texans secondary (20-29, 201 yds, 3 TD’s), but the defense was gashed for 228 yards on the ground. The Chiefs are an impressive running team, but the Texans aided that effort with poor tackling and soft zones that allowed easy, short passes to extend drives on third downs.
These defensive flaws are going to hinder the team all year. The Texans did not tally a sack until the last play of the game when it was Hail Mary time. As opposed to a lot of games this year, the Texans weren’t able to pressure the quarterback either. This further exposed a secondary that has a hard time covering for three seconds, much less six or seven. Mario Williams has to step up. He was obviously held on a couple of plays that weren’t called, but he still needs to provide more of an impact than he did today.
Speaking of the secondary, it’s not looking any better. By my estimation, we have one defensive back that might start for another team; Glover Quin. Bernard Pollard is a great run support safety but is a liability in coverage and is prone for emotionally inspired lapses of judgment like the late hit penalty today. Kareem Jackson may warrant his first round selection some day, but right now he doesn’t look physically insufficient IMO, but he often looks lost. Lastly, Eugene Wilson is BAD. When he whiffed on Dwayne Bowe on his dump-off pass turned touchdown, I would have been happy to see him cut on the spot.
The Offense played much better, but had some problems of their own. If you looked at the stats from the first half, they were impressive but they did not match the production on the field. The major problem that the O seems to have is sustaining drives. I’m glad that in the second half they established a rhythm, but at this point it almost has to be near perfect to win games and will be playing from behind often.
On a positive note, the offensive line did well in protection today and Matt Schaub played lights out. He has improved vastly with his ability to extend plays yet knowing when to get rid of the ball. He seemed to twist his ankle a bit on one of the two sacks he suffered, but managed to play through whatever pain came from that ding. In addition to protecting Schaub, the offensive line opened some nice holes for Arian Foster and Derrick Ward. Derrick Ward’s effort today was a good metaphor for the Texans at large; not pretty, but at the end of the day it just worked.
The Chiefs and Brandon Flowers might have a legitimate complaint against the pass interference call, but before they complain too much, Dre didn’t go for all 138 yards on that play. One call didn’t lose the game, especially because it came on second down and the Chiefs simply couldn’t stop the Texans pass attack at that point. I am impressed by how good their defense is this year, but bad calls from the refs don’t lead to 35 points. Just saying.
So with all the doom and gloom out of the way, I’m proud of this team. Prepare for cliché that’s true in 3...2…1… It takes a lot of heart to hang in and come back in a game like the one today. No matter how it was accomplished, I think that most of us would be happy to know the team would be 4-2 going into the bye before the season. The Texans now head into a much needed two week break to get healthy and regroup on a positive note. They need to figure out how to fix this defense with the likes of San Diego, Philadelphia, New York Jets, Baltimore and Denver coming up, plus the rest of the division. Hope it’s a productive bye week.

4-2.
For today, I will be thrilled about the record. A Gary Kubiak team that starts 4-2? Really? It’s remarkable.
Can we bitch about the win? Absolutely. That’s remarkable that we, Texans fans, can do that. However, the team (offense) didn’t quit and got it done. A much-needed win to head into the bye week on. And we’ll need all 2 weeks to prepare for Indy.
4-2. 4-2. 4-2.

INTs usually happen when he has Andre Vision and is dead set on throwing it to AJ

dude, you need to stop being such a bitch
I’m sick of you talking about me in every fucking thread. The last time I said anything about an interception thrown it was “well at least he got it out of the way early” and that was like 2 weeks ago. You are constantly bringing me up in every thread and I’m sick of it. I don’t comment on any of the stupid shit you have to say, I don’t know why you feel this need to repeatedly start drama for no reason at all.
Oh no he didnt!!
Did you guys not read the thread about personal attacks earlier TODAY?!?

Yet you still have continued to bring up Schuab
regardless if you did not specifically mention ints. You where riding his ass all last week. You continue to harp on every little thing you don’t like about Schuab, and we will continue to laugh in your face when he proves you wrong time and time again. You don’t like having people disagree with you, then don’t go out of your way to call attention to your opinions.

Maybe you need to look up the definition of bashing.
How is describing his actions on the field bashing? Is it bashing when people point out when Wilson fucks up coverage? Is it bashing when people make fun of Slaton for just generally being terrible? Is it bashing when someone points out when Chris Myers gets steamrolled by a nose tackle?
No, it only seems to be bashing when you talk about a bad decision from Schaub. And once again, who disagrees with any of my criticisms of Schaub? And how can someone possibly call me out on something that I have not done?
I talked about a Matt Schaub on a Texans Blog
OH NOES! THE HORROR! I didn’t ride anything, I commented on what I saw. When I see a good play that I have an opinion on it, I comment. When I see a bad play that I have an opinion, I comment. I actually came into this thread to comment on Derrick Ward’s TD run and Schaub’s throw on the move for the game winning TD, but instead I was greeted with this nonsense.
I don’t think anyone has disagreed with any of my criticisms of Schaub. I said he’s slow, do you disagree? I said he locks onto receivers, do you disagree? I said he throws directly into coverage, do you disagree? How did he or anyone else prove me wrong? He still suffers from all of these things.
How did I possibly call attention to my opinion? I said absolutely nothing at all in this thread before being personally called out by the same person who has repeatedly started drama. I don’t give a fuck if anyone disagrees with me, I do care when someone repeatedly (and falsely) accuses me of “crying” and “whining” about interceptions when I haven’t said a single negative thing about an interception in over 3 weeks.

Who gives a shit?
People trash Kareem Jackson every sunday as if he’s the worst CB to ever play the game. I’m not one of those people. You don’t see me following around posters who don’t like Jackson because I don’t care. People can hate him all they want, I’m not gonna follow them around and bring them up every single thread. You won’t see me defending his deficiencies, either, because i’m not a homer like you guys.
I don't see how he followed you around
I find it funny that you call me a homer as I have been critical of this team all the time.

In the last 3 or 4 threads i've posted in he has accused me of things that I haven't done.
We aren’t talking about the team, we are talking about Schaub because apparently you guys want to. Literally every time someone (not even myself) has pointed out a Schaub mistake I have seen you immediately place the blame on everyone except for Schaub. It was the O-line, it was the playcalling, oh no he really had to throw that interception he didn’t have a choice.
That is homer behavior if I’ve ever seen it.
Now you are just lying
When Schuab throws picks 9 times out of ten I blame him for it. Last week people where literally blaming every play on Schuab, regardless of how much time he had to throw the ball, or had recievers open. As for his pick, I placed all the blame on him for it. Thanks for playing though.

I'm on my BB so its hard to read all the comments
They only showed one angle on the replay of the Flowers penalty. I clearly saw him put an armbar across AJ. Tough to see from that angle so it is tough to imagine what it looked like from the refs angle. I’m sure he had a better view than us and that is what he threw the flag on. That being said, it probably should have been a no-call because it was returned by AJ with the slight bump.
Did anyone else see what I saw?
I too do not think the resulting penalty made the diffErence, although it didn’t hurt.
I dub the Chiefs..... the Chiefs!
by Rip Jersey on Oct 17, 2010 5:50 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
He definitely put his arm in front of AJ.
I don’t know if that’s enough in itself to constitute PI vs. “incidental contact,” but it definitely happened. You can go over to the Chief’s blog where they’ve posted the video so they can all whine about it and see it.
Texans fan.
Okay glad to get confirmation I wasn't seeing things
In all the replays no one is mentioning the armbar. Dungy is talking about it now and said it was defensive interference. They did not show another view. They do not notice the armbar.
Unfortunately what is being lost in all this is that Schaub made a beautiful throw to AJ’s outside shoulder where only AJ could get to it. Awesome pass by Schaub!

Yep, there was an armbar....
and then AJ pushed off of Flowers back, but from the refs angle I am sure all he saw was the armbar which then probably looked like Flowers pushed AJ.
I forgot which down that was on though. AND, as someone pointed out, AJ caught the pass, it was a first down right there anyway.
Just my $.02
Even duct tape can't fix stupid
I didnt see
either one of them do anything that would require a PI call. And in the end AJ caught the ball so I dont know wtf the chiefs are bitching about, the flag meant nothing. The ball was a nice fade over AJs shoulder and Flowers didnt turn his head and was out of position. Its as simple as that.

I find it funny
That the PI agaisnt the Texans at the end of the game gets blown up because it lead to the GW TD but the PI call against the Texans early in the game on 4th down that lead to a Chiefs TD gets no mention. Selective memory I guess.
Are you talking about the one
where the defender went for the tackle at the same time reached around and swiped the ball away?
Looked like good coverage to me.
Just my $.02
Even duct tape can't fix stupid
Are you that unable to see?
You guys won the game. But you have to admit that that was a horrible call. There WAS no armbar and AJ clearly pushed off. We have seen that called on Tony G many times over the years. If that play was called correctly, and it wasn’t because it was clearly offensive PI, it is a different outcame, plain and simple. But having said that, the bottom line is over time those calls even out. I would just like to see some of you sack up and admit what it was. It went your way this time. If you can’t do that, then don’t cry when it goes against you next time.

Flowers initiated contact by slowing down and trying to push AJ out of bounds it didn’t work cos he is smaller and he did a little bit of flopping while AJ was making the catch. Had he not initiated the contact they probably would have called something on AJ.

Flowers didnt start pushing AJ til 15+ yards down the field. The ref had a clear view of the arm bar. The refs didnt lose the game for KC the defense that gave up 21 points in the 4th quarter lost it for them.

So you missed the point.
“One play does not a game make”
Yes, it ended up being a loss for you team, but there is no way it should have gotten to that point.
The PI wasn’t the problem, it was the Chiefs deciding to completely shit the bed and let the Texans back in the game to eventually win it.
If you want to whine about that one play, then feel free, but the bottom line is that your team should never have put themselves in that position.
Basically, enjoy your(nonexistant) letter, we’ll enjoy the win.
Just your average, run of the mill hardcore casual Texans fan.
If it was PI on both
It would have been a do-over.
But this whole argument is stupid because the Chiefs got plenty of bad calls in their favor throughout the game, and focusing on this one as if it’s the only play where anything sketchy happened is stupid.

the other thing about it
is that he might have still been able to make a play on AJ if he didn’t sort of flop and throw his hands up trying to coax a call. Had he tried to make a play maybe I would have more sympathy for him, but he basically tried to execute an NBA flop to get a call after he initiated contact.
by Bobbythegreat on Oct 17, 2010 7:26 PM CDT up reply actions
Yes, exactly my thought, too
BF was flopping, no doubt trying to coax a call. But the flag was already on the way against him for the armbar which was the initial foul. The ref weas smart enough to ignore BF and his acting.

Stop trolling.
The flag shouldn’t have been thrown – both guys making minor contact (and yes, Flowers did illegally contact Johnson after 5 yards). There were tons of bad calls (called and not called either way).
Sack up and accept that your team couldn’t ice a 14 point lead. Sack up and admit that your team didn’t stop us on the 5 plays following the declined bad flag.
Sack up and move on instead of whining about something that won’t be changed.

Those announcers were pretty bad. I agree with the flinching guard, a lot KC fans are blind to it even though it didnt effect them. The worst part was at the end of the game.
Tasker: “This will be a long FG attempt for the Chiefs right here.”
Johnson:“Uh Steve theyre down by 4 points”
Tasker: “What? Yea a FG will tie the game”
Johnson: “Youre an idiot”

Even duct tape can't fix stupid
Its no point to bitch about that one play
I dont think it was PI on anybody and the flag might have been bullshit, but one thing that cant be denied is that the refs were in the cheifs pocket all game and the one call against them (right or wrong) is criticized.
You are such a good friend that if you and me were the last two people trapped on a sinking boat with only 1 life vest left, i would remember and pray for you every day.
It still doesn't matter.
Johnson caught the ball inbounds.
If Flowers doesn’t get a call for what he did, neither does Johnson, that sort of thing happens all the time.
Besides, at any point did the Chiefs look like stopping the Texans on the last drive? There was plenty of time – time for the Texans to call a run near the goal line without a TO.

I didn't think it was possible
But we are 4-2 and I still think the Sky is Falling!!
I thought if we were 4-2 that the world would be all rainbows and sweet smelling flowers and lollipops etc. But we’ve been lucky that the O has managed to turn things around at the end of games to pull out a win.
The Defense is full of great talent, and up until now, has remained relatively healthy, especially with the starters. Obviously, having Cushing out for four games, and now an injury to Ryans won’t help. Losing Barwin out of the DL rotation seems to have a bigger impact than losing a back up should have had.
The defensive system just isn’t able to stop an NFL offense. It is probably fine in a HS level team, and would probably work well for a lot of NCAA teams too. But there is too much time and effort put into breaking down the opponents defense for something so Vanilla to work week in and week out.

I'm not sure I'd call Barwin a "back-up", persay.
In this day and age of multiple defensive packages, you wind up with 13-14 “starters”. I really think they were counting on a bit of a triangle of versatility between Smith, Barwin, and Cushing on the right side. I guess we won’t know until next year (hopefully), but methinks he’ll have a big role in this defense.
The Defense is pathetic.
The ONLY reason we don’t give up more points and yards, is because the offense is on the field.
Think about the pressure on the ofense.
Kubiak: “Matt, you guys need to score on every possesion because we have decided to just not field a defense as it will be cheaper and net the same result.”
Matt: “Can’t we just fire Frank Bush coach?”
Kubiak: “Mr. McNair and I think Frank is a great guy and firing him would be unkind.”

Why is it we keep losing the GOOD defensive players. Barwin and now Ryans. Not that I want anyone to be injured at all, but I wouldn’t exactly react with dread if Wilson went down. We don’t have much depth on D except at the linebacker position. And even that list is starting to get pretty thin.
I am amazed we won. I thought for sure when that one guy looked like he was going to get tackled for a big loss and then ended up doing an end around for a big gainer that it was over at that point. I thought for sure that was the “wheels just came off” moment.
The tackling was so bad I almost wanted to lose just to make them feel like crap again for doing that badly.
It almost makes me want to trade away AJ for a couple of even decent safties. One thing the announcers were right about was Schaub keeps trying to go for deep passes to AJ too often. We need more short passes if nothing else just to eat up clock and give our D more chance to rest.
nobody would notice if wilson went out.
But seriously The fact that you consider trading AJ for a second make me think that perhaps you started a little early with the bleach today.
I'm just saying
We have enough depth at WR that for the sake of the team, I would consider it if it meant we could keep 14 points off the opponents score every game.
We have depth at WR BECAUSE OF ANDRE
You trade him away, our offense takes a nose dive

"My idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with me." -- Benjamin Disraeli
well I disagree that the announcers were right about that
I thought it was a waste of Schaub to throw to Andre for short yardage ..
my thinking is .. if you’re going to throw for such short yardage .. throw it to one of our tight ends.
Andre is built to go deep.
It’s a waste of good money to throw to him for short gains ;-).
I know you need to do things to confuse the defense etc but the amount of long shots to Andre is just right .. (or maybe even needs to go up)
=D my 2 cents.
by BattleRedFan on Oct 18, 2010 3:00 PM CDT up reply actions
Andre's built to do anything he wants to do.
He’s lethal going deep, sure, but he’s also incredibly dangerous running after a catch. I still go back to the Bengals game last year where they opened with a screen to Johnson and he broke it for about 60 yards.
The point is, treating him like Randy Moss would be a gross misuse of Andre’s talents.

Beating a dead horse here. But theres no way we can survive the second half of our season with the D we are currently playing. The AFC South is gonna be a real close one this year. We beat indy once but the fact remains that we face all our division rivals after the bye. How do you think our O will stand against teams we play regularly each season? We need something to happen with our D, anything this upcoming week.
I'm honestly curious to see exactly how badly the rematch with the Colts goes...
We need to bring in a new coordinator tomorrow so that we have 2 weeks to get our new system in place for the Colts.
I agree on the DC
Its gonna be a shoot out. We need the D to be able to pressure Manning, however with the loss of Ryans… i dont know how that will ultimately affect us.

It doesn’t look good at all unless our offense scores 35 points per game the rest of the season. Minus Demeco is really going to hurt us. Fire the D coordinator!!!!

Earth to Morons....
1) A.Johnson pushed off Flowers. AJ did not gain all 138 on that play but only about 10 of those yards were on Flowers all game. Flowers would not have allowed that catch. Would have been 2nd and 25. Does it mean KC would have won ?? No. But it would have made a big difference… especially with the time left on the clock.
2) Ward’s TD run should have been called back due to holding on Hali. That hold was so obvious it made it on several replays. That was a big play because the Texans were down 21-7 and scored way too fast which made a difference later on.
3) That false start on 4th and 1 was total bullshit. The D-line moved first… would it have been a 1st down ?? I don’t know. Either way, it was a bullshit call.
So just admit that your shitty team was bailed out and maybe you’ll get some sleep tonight. Either way… KC is at fault (or should I say R. Crennel for softening up) for not being more aggressive in the 2nd half. Game should have been over early in the 4th. As a KC fan, I’m happy to be 3-2, with a high possibility of 5-0 if not for some plays. The Texans on the other hand, have a great offense and definitely a great RB but WILL NOT go anywhere with that piece of shit of a defense. They made Cassel to Bowe look like Manning to Harrison. Over 200 yards rushing. Just embarrassing. Enjoy this win because there wont be many this season. Cowboys would be 0-5 if not for your shit team.

Wow
it kind of sounds like you are being a bit of a sore loser MrRightNow, first off there are calls in every game where you can say this could of happened or this should have happened, that is the nature of the NFL. The bottom line is you have to take advantage of the opportunities you are given and Kansas City just did not do that. Blaming the refs is a cop out. It was not a pretty game but the Texans did enough to win and that is the bottom line, furthermore as a KC fan I would think you would be more respectful after all the bad games you had to sit through, perhaps you are jaded because of it. Either way to come on someones blog and tell them their team is Shit after they just beat yours is extremely ignorant and shows poor taste. At least come in and articulate some good points instead of venting about the calls, I would respect that more. The Texans have a great offense and have a lot of issues on defense but there are a lot of teams worse off right now, they are 4-2 and have some good pieces on D to build around. I would hope that you will try to be more respectful in the future because all it does is reflect poorly on you. Good luck to you and your Chiefs.

3) Bringing back Dom Capers as head coach because Gary Kubiak is such a disaster
4) Bringing back Dunta Robinson because now he has a questionable knee AND scrambled eggs for a brain
4 LB's were dressed today
because the rest are hurt. I think Kevin Bentley should be back after the bye but I’m not certain on that. He is a serviceable MLB. Darryl Sharpton is a rookie that showed nice play in the preseason, who is also hurt. I think he should be back soon as well.

It puts Pollard in the box, it’s a “different” defensive look, the defensive coordinator can continually bring different guys on a blitz and the offense will be confused……..it’s aggressive, but we’ve seen how the soft defense fails. Might as well go down swinging.

If we had anything at all at free safety.
But while it sucks to give up long TD drives en route to giving up 25-30, it might be better than giving up countless long TD drives en route to 45 while Eugene Wilson flails trying to play center-field.
As I’ve said, not having a real free safety cripples the defense and limits what they can do. And as much as we like to insist that things couldn’t get any worse, trust me: they could.

Watching Indy-Washington right now...
The Redskins just forced a punt by virtue of LaRon Landry breaking up a pass in one-on-one coverage on Dallas Clark, and Phillip Buchanan doing the same (no safety help) on Reggie Wayne (or was it Garcon?). Both were good throws by Manning, and he wasn’t pressured into throwing the ball when he didn’t want to.
Therefore, I plead the case once again: change the coach or scheme if you want, but nothing is going to work until our DBs learn to turn their heads and make a play on the ball.
Who do you think is coaching them NOT to turn their heads?

When NONE of the DBs ever turn their f’ing heads, you have to wonder if they have simply told them not to do it. Either that, or they aren’t at the very least riding them to look back. Either way its piss poor coaching, from the DCoordinator down to the position coaches.

You know, the more I think about it
The more I wonder just how much authority Bush has. Is he allowed to fire the defensive position coaches? Has he been telling Kub that we need to fire David Gibbs (our defensive backs coach if I read correctly), and Kub and/or McNair isn’t allowing that to happen? I know as fans we are interested in results, not internal team politics. If we do fire him, can we learn a new DC’s scheme in just two weeks? Or will we hire someone who is just a variation on a theme? Some of the things I’m starting to think about now that I’ve cooled down a bit.
At this point firing him probably isn't even an option
but someone needs to sit him down and tell him that he needs to change his defensive scheme. I think Kubiak could simply sit down with him and some game tape, and just laugh for an hour at his shitty schemes and all the ways he could easily exploit them, and then slap Frank Bush across the face and tell him to knock it the fuck off.

There is just not consistency
in terms of pressure. Against Oakland we brough Quinn 3 times, and it worked THREE times. How many times has he done that outside of the game? Why isn’t Pollard blitzing more?

Really, I want Frank Bush fired……and some sort of trade.
This team really does NEED a trade to happen. Gotta bring in someone….even if that means trade a 1 or 2. Defense needs some help.
"Lord, beer me strength."
I just don't see a huge trade happening.
We might be signing a couple of bodies until the rest of our LB corps is healthy. I think the Diles did somewhat okay as MLB and Nixon did okay as well.
Ten games without Meco is going to be hard. But if we opt to “live and die” with our young secondary, I think we’ll opt to make do with the LB’s that we already have.
But if we’re just speculating here, I can see us using Jacoby as trade bait + a high round draft pick for a starting WLB and keep Diles as our MLB for the rest of the season.
As for FA’s, I can see us giving Chaun Thompson a call back along with Mark Simoneau and Jeremiah Trotter

can't disagree.
However, I did think Kareem Jackson made some real progress for the first time all season, and Quin (aside from the missed tackle) continues to look good.
Unfortunately, the awfulness that is 2010 Brice McCain continues to plague us. I know it’s all water under the bridge, but can anybody explain to me why he decided to just stop covering on the third play of the game? He was doing fine, then it looked like he just starting day-dreaming all of a sudden and forgot that he was supposed to be in coverage.

Scouting Report on Richard Marshall from 2006
Analysis
STRENGTHS: Tackling, Playmaking, Hands, Return Ability
WEAKNESSES: Anticipation, Playing the Ball
NFL COMPARISON: Marcus Trufant, Seahawks
Both are decent sized, physical corners who can tackle and play man to man coverage. Marshall is a bit more of a ballhawk though.
SCOUTING REPORT: … He has shown equal effectiveness in zone coverage and man to man. His best asset is his playmaking ability. He is aggressive and goes after the ball. Marshall shows good hands in making the pick. He closes quickly and changes directions fluidly. In man coverage, he has the athleticism to stay with receivers but doesn’t always turn his head around for the ball. In zone coverage, he must do a better job of anticipating and reading routes. … In run support, Marshall is aggressive and a good tackler. He is a big hitter who can deliver knockout blows, but also does a pretty good job of attacking low and wrapping up.
I’d like to think that his zone coverage skills are better now after 4 years in the league. I don’t know how I feel about the Trufant comparison. I think that Trufant is a horrible corner.

He would fit right in.

Does anyone else think...
OD perhaps turned a corner today? The cuts he made to get open were impressive. Not sure if his success was in large part of the Chiefs scheme or his ability to get open on his own. The 4th down play was a beautiful design, but OD definitely did his part on that play. Thoughts?
"There's two kinds of coaches, them that's fired and them that's gonna be fired." ~ Bum Phillips
A lot of people thought OD looked good last week and...
he carried that through to this week. During this past week, he said he felt better and knew he’d be 100% after the bye week.
When you think about it…he was hurt 11/01/09 and didn’t play any football until Week 1 this season. No real OTA work, no training camp work, and no pre-season work. Through the first four games, he was starting but rusty. Makes sense that he’d turn a corner in Week Five and continue to improve…our offense improves itself.
Now those 2 TE sets in the red zone are deadly: Whatcha gonna do? Commit to stopping Andre? Sell out to stop Arian? Cover OD? Cover JD (who scored another TD today)? Forget about Kevin Walter? Fantastic options on the offense.

Um I think Dennison
Kubes, and Schaub have forgotten about KW… he didn’t net anything today… I mean the man has dropped less passes than BFD does potato chips.

Walter was nowhere to be found today...
…but that necessarily isn’t a bad thing. With OD getting closer to 100%, it just goes to show what he does for Andre Johnson downfield. I watched the game again and still need to breakdown some the plays, but Schaub still lacked some confidence in JJ after I was him get open deep a couple of times. Schaub either dumped it off to Arian for 10 yards or was fixated on AJ. That being said, this could change after Jones’ performance today. I believe JJ was only targeted the four times he caught the ball. I’m mildly optimistic this offense can hang no matter what the defense does with a mature JJ and healthy OD. Not only that, but AJ’s ankle will be better in two weeks.

A look at some flawless KC strategy
“I guess that was the game plan – to kick it short. I guess they were scared to kick it to our returner, Steve (Slaton),” Leach said.
"Lord, beer me strength."
I hope other teams start applying that strategy

Sorry. Highly disagree with a tidbit of your assessment.
Best case scenario: AJ is flagged for offensive PI. It’s 2nd & 20 with 2:00 left in the game. Would have possibly made it easier for the Chiefs defense.
At the very least, it should have been a non-call. You were given 31 free yards which also happened to put you in FG range. Either way, the call put you in position to score points. Officiating shouldn’t come down to that.
I eat nails for breakfast, tacks for snacks, and I sh*t nickel.
You're forgetting one very important fact there....
The Texans declined the penalty because Andre Johnson caught the pass.
"Lord, beer me strength."
But the flag was thrown...
Meaning they were going to call SOMETHING…it was just a matter of who did what. They pinned the penalty on the wrong person, IMO. That’s what angered us the most. Flowers is legit and rarely (if ever) makes those types of penalties.
But, hey, it’s just a game. You win some and you lose some. It just sucks how officiating mistakes can help determine the outcome of games or outright determine the outcome.
Terrible calls on both sides of the ball. Hope we never deal with that crew again.

Pretty sure you'd be singing a different tune if it had been your team.
You can’t tell me that terrible call had zero impact on anything. Less than two minutes in the game. The refs were going to make a call but penalized the wrong player, thus giving you free 31 yards. Should have been 2nd & 20 or 2nd & 25.
That play put you guys in FG range. At the very least, you had a chance to tie the game. How does that not help to determine the outcome? It put you in a position to score either way.

All the bad calls influenced the game
Heck, you guys got a beneficial bad PI call on 4th down.
You guys complain about Hali being held, but Andre was damn-near choked on plays. And even then….a referee, if they wanted, could find a reason to call holding every single play.
And once more…the penalty was declined. Nothing was free.
Being in FG range means nothing because the Chiefs didn’t put the Texans in position to kick a FG.
"Lord, beer me strength."
Okay, I don't think I'm being clear enough.
The refs were looking to call pass interference. The question was WHO. It SHOULD have been Andre Johnson and NOT Flowers. Therefore, the catch should have been negated. It should have been 2nd & 20 or 25. That’s my opinion. You don’t have to agree with it.

IT HAS BEEN MY TEAM FOR 8 YEARS, you whiny little...
mmmph… Tim, give me strength…
If there is one skill in which the fanbase of the Houston Texans have deep experience, it is in losing gracefully.
The Texans got SCREWED for three and a half quarters on Sunday… Their fans had to listen to homerific sportscasters and watch the most sucktastic KC-favoring officiating possible. If you think that somehow we are going to throw our hands up and admit to a penalty that didn’t happen, you’re nuts.
Finnegan Flowers cut off Dre’s route… You’ve already admitted that you don’t remember the play clearly. In defending himself from the encroachment, Dre’s arm was in Finnegan’s Flowers BACK, hence the positioning.
True...
the officiating crew was terrible…as was the announcing crew. There were missed holdings on both sides, bad PIs on both sides, and just a terribly called game.
However, I disagree that the mistake determined any outcome. The Texans needed a TD, and Kansas City had a chance to stop the Houston offense.

As a general rule
If your team can’t score on our defense, ESPECIALLY when it matters most, they don’t even DESERVE to win. Our defense is comically bad. 10 of my friends and I could score on Rice Cake’s defensive scheme, so when a professional NFL offense takes the field against them, they should be able to score…in fact they should be able to score one of those elusive 4 point field goals Steve Tasker was talking about yesterday.
Point being, they didn’t score, we did. Thank you and good night Chiefs fans.

I think it certainly helped the outcome.
Just considering it put you into position to at least tie the game with a FG.
To me, officiating determining a game makes me think of a Denver game last season or the season before last. It was a blown fumble call which caused Denver to lose.
Guess we’ll agree to disagree.

Field Goal isn't a guarantee - especially with the Texans
More importantly, the penalty resulted in 0 yards. Harp on the flag all you want, but the Texans received no yards from a flag.
"Lord, beer me strength."
I'm not harping on the flag.
I’m harping on the player penalized for PI. If the refs were going to make that call, it should NOT have been against Flowers. Again, just my opinion.

There should've been no flag on the play at all, IMO
both players made contact, nothing egregious at all…just 2 great players going at it at the end of the game. Heck, it had a playoff-type feel to the whole situation. That’s how it should be.

I just came out of shock
That was insane. I was at the game, sitting behind an obnoxious hillbilly who sported a Dexter McCluster jersey. Said fag, who was already drunk, probably from OUR tailgate, continued to berate our section the whole game. After Bowe scored his second touchdown, this guy (no joke) pulled a Dwayne Bowe jersey from under his seat, took off his McCluster jersey and switched to Bowe. As the Chiefs kept the lead through the entire game, he would ask any of us if we wanted to put on his extra jersey, since his team was dominating.
Needless to say, once the Texans kicked it into gear in the fourth, we started really letting this guy have it. I was telling him that he should switch back to McCluster, since that seemed to be working so well for him. When Schaub threw the finale to Dre, everyone in a 20-foot radius came up to him and told him, “it’s going to be okay. You just aren’t there yet.”
As for the pass interference call…..I can’t believe any Chiefs fans want to act like that was the decision. If anything, IT WAS A MAKE-UP CALL FOR THAT BS THEY CALLED ON KAREEM JACKSON IN THE FIRST QUARTER ON FOURTH DOWN. And I hate Kareem Jackson, so it takes me a lot to side with the guy.
After seeing Flowers throw a three-year-old temper tantrum on the sideline, I hate him. Passionately hate him. He is up there with all things bad: T.O., the Cowboys, the Titans, the San Antonio Spurs.
So I hope Flowers has that in his head for the rest of the year, and remembers this: You can’t stop the greatest receiver known to man, you can only hope to contain him. And you did neither…So suck my balls.

Um...he did shut down AJ.
The Texans mostly lined AJ opposite Flowers in the second half. I saw a lot of Carr/Johnson then. Think it was a halftime adjustment.
And your rant about Flowers is pretty unfounded. It was a terrible call. He had excellent CLEAN coverage on Johnson. It was Johnson who pushed off Flowers to gain separation, yet Flowers was called for PI. Should have been offensive pass interference. So why the hell shouldn’t Flowers be absolutely utterly pissed off? It was a close game and time was winding down. Those types of calls can cost games. He had every right to be upset.
Flowers is a legit player. Don’t hate the player. Hate the game. :)

The argument made is Johnson handling Brandon Flowers.

Jeez, can you stop with the "terrible call" already?
The outcome was as if no flag was thrown because AJ CAUGHT THE BALL AND THE PENALTY WAS DECLINED.
Not to mention Kareem Jackson was called on a bogus PI penalty which resulted in 7 points for KC so there you have it-even.

I wrote all of that, and the only thing you took out of it was the Flowers comment. I was more so trying to insult the hoodrat sitting in front of me with McCluster jersey. Oh, and to bring up the fact that the Chiefs lost after being ahead the entire game.

You dont allow 300 yards
as a team without having everyone getting beat at one point or another.
Flowers did play well
You really can’t argue against that. In his third year, he’s becoming one of the NFL’s better cornerbacks.
"Lord, beer me strength."
After rewatching the game
Flowers gave up 4 catches for 56 yards to various receivers. He also got away with a Pass Interference in the 3rd quarter at the 13:34 mark where he did pretty much the exact same thing Jackson did to the Chiefs that he got called for.

A.Johnson admits to cheating.
"He tried to run into me and bump me and I hit him with a little elbow to create some separation and was able to make a play." ……… enough said. Now I respect him for admitting it. Even with his monstrous size and speed he needed to push off to catch on our All-Galaxy CB.
k, you win
How can we make it up to you?
I guess we can give you the moral victory? We have plenty to spare in the last few seasons.
"I'm trying to get a feel for Booty" - GK
yup...
You win! It was all a vast conspiracy. Pay no attention to that scoreboard, the game statistics or most importantly the won-loss records.
That wascawy Andwey Johnson got away with wulebook muwdew… huhuhuhuhuhu….
You have sole possession of the moral high-ground… yesirree, we done been LEARNT and are FIRMLY and soundly in. our. place.
Done.
All over.

Kaput.
Finished.
Full Stop.
GOGOGO!
You are just several galons of tears away from over-ruling the decision. Cry more and it will happen! I promise!
Honestly, even if the ref had any intention of calling an offensive PI, he must have immediately changed his mind after seeing your mega gallactical CB flop like a ballet artist and then proceed to clap at the ref like a high schooler.

The funniest part to me...
Is that Flowers, had he not stopped playing after he felt contact, still could have made a play on the ball. Instead he decided to stop playing and take a page out of Vlade Divac’s book and lobby the ref. That’s a big difference between him and the real “all-galaxy” CBs in the league; Scrabble would finish the play regardless of whether or not he felt he was interfered with. Flowers wanted to whine about it instead and then threw a temper tantrum when he realized he wasn’t getting bailed out.
