Sunday Morning Bloody Mary: Please Sit Andre Johnson

by riversmccown on Dec 26, 2010 7:00 AM CST

Somehow, I can't think of a better sponsor for a Texans blog than Absolut. Together with Captain Morgan, we are two-thirds of the way to a fair representation of things Texans fans will be chugging before, during, and after the game. Unfortunately, I don't think Clorox will join us this year. We're just not a good representation of any product that actually works.

For the Texans, this game is simple: it doesn't matter. That means that anyone questionable should sit, and it means that anyone who has made their injury worse should also sit. Do the right thing, Kubiak. Give your star wide receiver a cup of eggnog and tell him to enjoy the game. Garrett Graham is also out again, so Andre can amuse himself with some rookie hazing.

For the Broncos, we have a laundry list of questionable players: Brian Dawkins, Knowshon Moreno, Kyle Orton, Darcel McBath, Demaryius Thomas, and David Bruton. No word on who will and who won't be playing, but it's pretty clear that it won't matter if Orton plays since they're going with Tebow anyway.

Remember that while you're chasing your post-Christmas cheer with Battle Red Sadness, ENJOY WITH ABSOLUT RESPONSIBILITY®

Right on, Rivers

Anyone who is ailing needs time off. Does Kubiak think he is actually playing for his coaching future with the Texans? That, my man, has already been decided. It matters not what you do in these last two games, except if Schaub, AJ or any other key player who is somewhat hobbled goes in under your watch and incurs a serious injury. Then, I think that would be the coup de grace on your Texans’ coaching stint. Who would dare make that decision? I hope a sane and clear-thinking owner. But, I seriously have my doubts thatMcNair thinks about those things and actually makes a decision that might appear to berocking the babies cradle. I trust McNair to err on the side of doing nothing, as he has done right from the beginning. Why would he do otherwise? He listens to other owners’ gladhanding and takes it as constructive advice. Do nothing, Bob! Do nothing and get what you have coming. You know what that is, right Bob? You have had nine years of it.

You would think that Gary Kubiak, the master of conservative play might know better, but I guess he feels he has something to play for and he is willing to risk his players’ health to get thi meaningless win. Now there is the ultimate in ironies for you right there.

I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.

Leave it to Johnson

Seems like he should have some say in this. He knows there’s no playoff hopes left for the team. However, he has to know that three consecutive 1500 yd seasons, with the third involving a nagging ankle injury and a missed game, would have to solidify his status as the top receiver in the league and permanently qualify him for the “all-time” conversation.
