dances around desk at work

I’m sad to see the last original Texan pack his bags. He had many more good years than bad. And I will always love him for his ridiculously premeditated miss against the Titans that helped us get Mario.

The kicker is dead. Long live the kicker!

if so do we take a look at him if nothig is wrong?

I can’t see that “miss” last night being the problem; it was on-target, just short… from 56 yards no less. Especially since it’s my impression that Kris Brown has the longer leg of the two options.

Don’t get me wrong, I wanted a change at the end of last year, I just don’t think that Rackers proved to be that much of an improvement.

In Smithiak I trust, tho… So, good luck Kris and welcome Neil!

One all of the original Texans are gone we will finally make the playoffs lol

first my guy pitts….
and now mr. money in the bank?
add in the pounding headache from last night’s festivities..
and it adds up to a pretty sucky friday.

i have been on the rackers bandwagon. Mostly because i knew if Brown stayed around by week 3 riots would have occured after he missed a fg that cost us the game. With Rackers if the same happens most of us would be like well there was no better kicker on the market this offseason.

He had some big kicks with us, I will be sad to see him go. I will not dispute this is the right decision, but i have fond memories of K Brown

Who doesn’t want a kicker with a shaved head rockin’ a fu-man-chu?

…says Rackers is injured by week 6 and we’re forced to hire Santiago Gramatica due to a lack of available kickers. Hope I’m wrong.

So wait, the Texans released their longtime kicker, for Neil fucking Crackers? Just wait until you guys are tied with the Colts late in the 4th quarter and he has a chance to win the game and turns into shankapotomous and then Peyton drives down with 5 seconds to go and throws a bomb to Reggie Wayne and beats you in amazing, gut-wrenching fashion yet again.

Or there’s always the possibility that he could fall down like a dumbass and then the holder picks up the ball and tries making a break for the endzone only to fumble and have a Colts player recover it and return it for a touchdown.

That my friends is a combination of the Texans’ bad luck and the shittiness of Neil Crackers. Either way, good luck (not really).

Initial reaction to the Rackers signing was very enthusiastic, but what I saw up until the TB game told me that KB was marginally better because of his stronger leg, and presumably better KO depth. Have no way of knowing to what extent the plantar fascitis came into play but if the job was still in question prior to last Thursday (which may not be the case) KB did not help himself at all. Not only did he come up very short on the long FG, but Rackers did better on KO depth. I wish KB well, and truly hope he gets another chance, but Rackers won the job and Kubiak made the right decision.
