Things we learned today:
- Wade Phillips is very, very important to this team's success.
- DeMeco Ryans is no longer an elite LB. (We kind of suspected this for a while, but the tackling today proved it.)
- T.J. Yates is not, in fact, a god.
- Jeremy Shockey is a worthless piece of trash who should be euthanized.
- Cam Newton is legit.
- FGs when trailing by 21 are not a great plan.
- Neil Rackers is infuriating.
- We will not be going 13-3 this year.

Too many people with personal agendas and reactionaries after bad losses.
I told you TJ sucks.
I told you Kubiak sucks.
I told you the first 13 games were an aberration.
etc.
etc.
etc.
That wasn't aimed at you.
I agree we should have run more in the red zone and we should have run against the Saints (because you pointed out to me). I don’t think we should come out running when we’re down 21 points, but we had a respectable exchange about it.
I guarantee someone calls for Kubiak to be fired, T.J. to be benched and predicts we will be one and done in the playoffs because of this game.
Thanks.
I wanted Kub gone last year, but I think he’s learned a lot and improved this year. Not so sure that learning was voluntary, but it doesn’t matter. He is definitely doing better. I just hate to watch him coach when Houston falls behind, because it’s like a broken record every time.
Anyway, I am at peace with him now, but will unload on him if he relapses. I want this team to win so much it hurts. And I am totally cool with Yates. He’s got the world ahead of him. Just hope his youthful weaknesses can be coached around (oops, there I go again blaming Kub, lol).
T.J Yates is not the next Tom Brady

Tom Brady didn't blow the doors off the league that year he started either.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
You're right, he only won the Super Bowl
"All our lives we're taught to get in line. The ones who conform never discover." - Undrafted Free Agent and NFL Rushing Leader Arian Foster
Yep.
Thanks to that amazing defense holding the Rams to 17 points in a dome. And Adam making a clutch game winning kick.
But all that is nullified I guess because Tom Brady managed the game and didn’t make a game killing mistake and made a few throws on the last drive to win the game.
I guess we could look back and just pretend he threw 5 TD’s and had 416 yards passing and wasn’t a talented QB still in development that put together a decent drive to set up a FG.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Uh one bad game doesn't mean the guy sucks dude.
Yates is a rookie. Tom Brady was a 1 year pro when he got to play for the Pats.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
And, let's be fair

Well his 2001 defense had a lot to do with that as well.
He’s wishes he had that unit now.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Mmmmm...once upon a time, maybe.
He’s been getting his ass coached off in the playoffs lately, and he can’t seem to put together a defense, either.
To be fair, he has lost pretty much every member of his staff
As much as us fans like to give all the credit and blame to the coach, there are so many people responsible from coaches to front office (and the Pats had a great one). Just scouting alone takes so many people.
I don't care of Bill B had a lobotomy.
He’s still >>> Kubiak right now. And it’s not particularly close. This is the first year that the majority of Kubes’ coaching decisions in tight situations haven’t made me want to stab someone.

give him an average QB like Cassel and he’d get six wins. Offense wouldn’t be able to cover up the glaringly bad defense.

If you're referring to this year than most likely this is the case.
But that wasn’t the point.

missed your point then
defense that year was infinitely better than the one they currently have. Team is much more Brady centric in nature than it has ever been.

He's got a lot of work to do but his potential is growing in my eyes.
I was expecting him to have one of these days since he is just a rookie and should be a good learning experience for him.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
We missed Wade and Dre.
TJ played well, He made a few bad decisions, and underthrew a bunch of passes. I still love his field presence and think he can win some big games for us.
TJ missed not having Dre this game. This is the kinda game where Dre manufactures an extra 100 yards of offense.
Defense missed Wade play calling on 3rd down. Wade has a better feel for the mind of the OC , thus Wade is better at stoping them.
If we have Dre and Wade we win. I think their precense would have avoided the collective egg our team just dropped.
I do not mind that they lost. That is for bandwagoners and team ownership to flip out over. I would be pissed if I was McNair. During the most positive , feel good week of Texans history, the ghost of old reared it’s head , and gave away another game.

no he didn't
nobody will probably see this being a day late. I went to the game yesterday, and T.J. did his best Leinart impersonation. There were receivers running wide open down field and he was slow thru his progressions. Seeing it on T.V. you don’t see the whole field. I am worried about the rest of the season. I hope it was a hangover game, and not a sign of future performance.

Boos are warranted
We went out and laid an egg at home. I think that’ll motivate the team, but they deserve being booed.
Follow me on Twitter @Jorticulture
Who deserves to be booed and why?
T.J. for the interceptions?
Arian for the fumble?
Just booing because we are losing seems a little fickle to me, especially for a fan base that just watched a banner get hung.
To me, boos are reserved for a team that shows no effort.

I agree with this.
To be honest the team hasn’t looked very god the last 4 weeks and today the Team hit rock bottom.
Fans don’t want this year to be known as a “fluke” or a 1 and done. Texans have played below their talent level and it’s time they got back to that great football and stop the 2010 Texans routine of shit first half, furious second half comeback that comes up short.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
hey if you want to have unrealistic expectations
Go for it. Boo your heart out. Me, I see a banged up team playing their hearts out. Most teams lose games occasionally. I personally think its crazy to boo a team for a few individual mistakes in one bad half after a 7 game win streak. But you are right, I can’t tell people not to boo. Boo who away. For me, GO TEXANS!

news flash!
Cam Newton is good and Wade Phillips makes a difference! You said most of the time you don’t boo (aka not clearly stating anything)..

You absolutely have the right to not boo
Just like other people have the right to do so. I am not trying to argue with your stance on booing, just disagreeing with your calling fans who do “fair weather”. Their booing does not make them any less of a fan than you. You have a nice evening and holiday season as well.

Yates wasn’t having a good day, that was clear early on. The running game should have been utilized much more.

Run game in the frist half, for the second week in a row, was terrible.
It didn’t open up until Yates started making throws down the field. You saw how the Panthers were clamped down on the run and short passes.
People need to stop expecting to win games running the ball 40+ times if you don’t have a down field passing threat.
Of course if worked with Schaub because the threat was there and teams HAD to respect that.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Look you can't argue with 16/109
Thats not clamping shit. It might have looked like tough sledding early on but you HAVE to stick with your run game when its your best commodity and your rookie 5th rounder is having a tough day.

Copy/Patse from other thread
Down 21-0 running the ball in the first half generated a grand total of 0 points.
Sorry but you can’t win every game running the ball (see last week). Yates has to make down field throws for the offense to work. Otherwise everybody clamps down on the offense (like teams have done the last 3 weeks) until they get burned by the passing game.
Texans offense is based on BALANCE. And it’s been that way since week one. The run heavy aspect comes from the second half of games where the Texans have usually had the lead this year (thanks to pass/run balance) but the playcalling is always centered around balance NOT running the ball all the time.
Today Yates,Foster,Tate, and the WR’s didn’t execute well enough. Drops,missed passes, and that fumble plagued them all day long. Panthers limited the Texans play count to (they had 130+ yards rushing) which also affected play calls.
I’ll add on here. Sweet Foster opened up in the second half. In the second half Yates started to burn the defense which is why the run game started to finally produce. I’d agree on that second Yates INT a run there would have been nice but the Texans had to score immediately after the defense folded. I have no problem with Yates throwing there though because he already has a game winning TD on his resume. I’d rather he throws that INT now and earns from it than throw it in the playoffs and the season is ended then and there.
This was a good game for him to learn from because he has to be the “Schaub” of the offense or at least close to it and he’s already demonstrated that he can be like that.

But the chance for the Texans to win would have been much higher if they had scored like they were with Schaub playing.
Perhaps the defense plays better if the Texans had gotten the lead and were able to run the ball consistently like they were with Schaub.

Second on the team in tackles.

I'll look at the film again but he's not in games much
and he missed tackles in the first half, but did have a better second half.
He’s really been quiet in this year’s defense with all the other talent stepping up. I honestly hope he gets back to 100% long term, but he’s far from being there yet. Good point that it may take another season for a full recovery.

You should see some of the comments here lol.
A little to fickle here sometimes. I think to many people were expecting 13-3 although the team hasn’t looked good since the Bucs blowout (when Schaub went down).
Offense needs to get back to that consistency we had earlier in the year. QB play is up and down and the run game is come and go. Defense today and the first half last week has been, well, bad. And the turnover bug has hit the team with Fumbles and INT’s. Although the INT’s are expected Tate and Foster need to step their game up. Their fumbles have been real killers the last two weeks. We survived Tate’s last week but Foster’s was critical today.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Agreed
ST, Offense and D have all shown moments of brilliance, then returned with moments of tragedy.

Our turnovers have been killing us lately. Our receivers are not creating separation, we started off slow, we are not playing team football and we need to just fix those. A loss is the best thing for this team because it keeps us in check. So many teams laid an egg today and it’s usually how you react after a crappy game that can go a long way.

Things that worry me:
Turnovers. One of the best in the NFL at NOT giving it away as well as taking it away. Last two weeks this has not been the case.
Offense. Once a top unit in the NFL we still haven’t recovered from Schaub’s loss. Run game is nowhere near as good as it was with him and the passing attack is up and down. I have faith in Yates to develop though which should allow the run game to open up more.
Defense. WTF guys? Two horrible first halves in a row then the collapse after the offense made it 21-13 today.
Supposedly we can rely on our defense and run game to protect Yates but that hasn’t been the case the last two weeks.

Raiders are fading fast IMO.
Broncos I think win the West and the Jets and Bengals are hard to predict right now. I’d have to see their remaining opponents.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Hmm.
Bengals over the Cardinals but that last game will be hard to predict. Obviously they haven’t been good against winning teams but they did almost pull off the upset over the Ravens IN Baltimore and the Ravens on the road aren’t as good as at home.
Jets/Giants is hard to tell because both teams are so inconsistent. I think the Dolphins will beat the Jets at home though.

Ryans looked good most of the time, this was a TEAM effort.
Beer, it's not just for breakfast anymore
I thought he played decent.
But then again the whole unit was bad in the first half and gave up a critical TD when the Texans got to 21-13. JJow had a bad game today to. Steve Smith was quiet but he made two huge plays that really burned the Texans,
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Horrible excuse for a tackle on Shockey, for one.
I sorta soured towards him after that and probably discounted anything good he did… But it’s been a full season deal, really.
He had a pretty big hit on Shockey later in the game that ended a drive.
He had a solid game IMO as an individual.

Didn't we come out pretty strong after half-time?
I’m not particularly disappointed in the defense. What’s concerning is not scoring a point until midway through the 3rd quarter at home against one of the worst defenses in football. Our offense never put any pressure on Carolina, and hung the D out to dry with short fields all throughout the first half.
Gotta cut down on the RB fumbles and missed field-goals. Rackers’ inability to hit anything beyond 45 yards is starting to catch up with it, and those early fumbles are putting us in a bit of a hole.

Yeah been a long time since I've had to deal with "Kubiak sucks" rants.
Which brings me to the offense. Since Schaub went down the Texans have averaged 17.5 points per game compared to the 27 points they averaged the first 10 games.
Not sure exactly what to pin it on but it’s probably a combination of things.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Ive noticed that we have turned the ball over a lot more
mainly with fumbles by Foster and Tate.
Yes in particular the Bengals game and today's game.
Our RB’s can’t be dropping the ball like that. Yates had two real bad forced passes which he will hopefully correct so I’m not as worried about those.
Panthers got 14 points off Texans turnovers today so that needs to improved ASAP.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Yea Foster has fumbled 3 straight games
Yates made some bad passes but he has 2 1/2 weeks to get it figured out.
Yeah Foster's fumbles are really starting to irritate me.
I’ve mentioned before he carries the ball in a way that scares me.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Yea he has always held the ball in a way
that looks easy to lose but it hasnt happened until recently
I think he said it best.
"We didn’t come out with a lot of energy," Foster said. "I take a lot of blame with that because when you turn the ball over so early like that, it kind of deflates the energy."
His fumble sort of sucked the energy out of the stadium and the Panthers turning that into a TD deflated the crowd even more.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Maybe this loss will be good
humble the team a bit so they don’t get ahead of themselves. No we can come out with fire against the Colts and Titans and regain momentum for the playoffs.
Let's start with....
No veteran Matt Schaub back there. Yates can get the job done, but he’s not Matt Schaub.
"Lord, beer me strength."
Yeah he really was the heart of this offense regardless of what some say or think.
I think Yates can get us to 23-27 points per game if he could hit a couple of those plays he misses. They did a good job during the broadcast showing some of the throws he missed today like they did in the Bengals game.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
That would be a big help indeed.
He and AJ were looking REAL good in that ATL game.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
The Falcons and Bengals
are insanely better then the other teams we played in our win streak, and for the 2nd half of the first game without schuab we didn’t even try to score.

I’m hoping the national media will be yanking Rex Ryan’s dick foot

I was hoping
The media will be riding Rex Ryan’s foot, hyping the jets, then we shut them down and put them in their place

The Bengals
I’d rather beat the Jets but without Schaub those worthless fuckers may be able to beat us. Again.
I don't know how they
could score on our defense. Sanchez is horrible.

They wouldn't score much
But they might just score enough, and they’re the one team I don’t wanna lose to. If our offense can finish the season scoring 24+ points a game, I’d change my stance.
Ha Shockey bitching about some Texans not putting their hands over their heart during the anthem is the top story on NFL.com.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
I didnt know you put your hand over your heart during the national anthem
I thought that was just for the pledge of allegiance
If we were an assholes kind of team like the BE-SFs or the like
I wouldve wanted to give up a penalty or a big play for someone to launch into shockey for a blindside hit away from the play
The Texans didn't wipe their feet off before they walked in the stadium!
And they left the door open! Don’t they know the a/c is on?

The Colts got their first interception by a cornerback this year in the BESF game.

WE NEED TO CUT YATES, HE LOST A GAME
AND THAT FOSTER GUY LOST A FUMBLE, SO WE SHOULD CUT HIM TOO. OH, AND FIRE WADE FOR LEAVING US FOR A STUPID PROCEDURE, I THOUGHT HE HAD HEALING POWERS
Dont we have a state of the art medical facility at the stadium?
Wheel his ass to the field on the hospital bed and he can call plays!!

Yeah?
Well, you’ve quit on this team so many times, even the ghost of George Steinbrenner thinks you are hasty. I bet you wish the Texans had canned Kubiak as quickly as your beloved Fighting Irish fired Ty Willingham.
I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Well that game sucked ass.
And as I have my first beer of the day (Yes, its 10:47pm, I did not even drink during the game) all I can think is “meh”.
We’re still AFC South Champions. The game that is really going to matter will be the second or hopefully third weekend in January.
Lets hope the Colts win out
We’re not gonna get a first round bye anymore even if the Ravens lost. We’re stuck with the 3 and the Jets most likely and that gives us a decent chance. What I’m more excited about however is the Colts winning another game. Anyone got tabs on what the “suck for luck” tiebreakers are like betwen the Vikes, Rams and Colts are like?
Swede that like the Houston Texans and Chelsea FC
