This Week in the Red Zone, or When Rationalization Will Rule the Day!
Like many of you, I do not want to rehash whatever the hell that was we saw on Thursday night. I'd just as soon not think about the incompetent referees, the zombie-like offense, or the utter lunacy of allowing Kareem Jackson onto the field at ANY point during which there is time still on the...
This Week in the Red Zone, Or How Anime Can Put This Game Into Perspective: Carolina Panthers vs. Houston Texans
I am an anime nerd. I admit it. Before I got a real job, I would spend my days watching Adult Swim's anime lineup on my DVR--when I wasn't on here, at least. One of my favorites is a show called "Fullmetal Alchemist." In that show, people can turn air into fire, scrap metal into full suits of...
This Week in the Red Zone, or Ladies and Gentlemen, Your 2011 AFC South Champion Houston Texans vs. Cincinnati Bengals
3,381 days. That's how long we've waited. It's been 3,381 days since the first game in franchise history, a thrilling 19-10 win over Quincy Carter (snicker) and the Arlington Cokeboys, and the day those same Texans clinched their first AFC South championship and entrance into the playoffs. Put...
Falcons v. Texans: This Week In The Red Zone, or Hooray for Weejay!
From a football perspective, Saturday completely and utterly sucked for me. My Cougars were one win away from their first BCS bowl game. All they had to do was beat a team they were double-digit favorites against. What did they do? Coog fans know. They crapped the bed. They Coog'd it. Meaning that...
This Week in the Red Zone, or I Hope You Don't Mind, But I Have No Intention of Facing This Sober
I, like most of you, was curious to see what would happen when Matt Leinart was given a chance to lead the first team offense in glorious combat. I wanted to believe that he could lead us to the promised land, mostly because I don't know how to tie a noose. I thought he could do it, even going up...
This Week in the Red Zone, or Don't Blink or You'll Miss Our Spiffy New Mobile Quarterback: Cleveland Browns v. Houston Texans
Ho hum, another game, another notch in the win column for the Texans. It's starting to feel a bit old hat to see the Texans come out of a game with the victory these last few weeks. Oh, who am I kidding? This winning stuff never gets old, especially if you think back to this time last year (vs....
This Week in the Red Zone, or, Whoa There, Mullet-Fluffer!! Los Angeles Jaguars of Jacksonville v. Houston Texans
I'll be honest, I expected the Texans to win this one handily. You would think that ten years of Texans fandom would teach me to never expect anything from the Texans to be a given, especially wins. But damned fool that I am, I did expect the win. Chalk it up to having playoff expectations...
This Week in the Red Zone, or, Notes on a Curb-Stomping: Houston Texans v. Southern Kentucky Titans
It's been said that there are 400,000 words in the English language. Whether this is actually true or not is debatable. What is not debatable, however, is the fact that so many words are not enough to describe how incredibly satisfying it was to watch the BE-SFs get exposed as the frauds they...
Your Battle Red Blog Red Zone Review, Chock Full of Comcast-y Goodness: Indianapolis Colts v. Houston Texans
The Texans' season went off with a flying start as the boys in Battle Red just crushed the Indianapolis Colts 34-7. Now let's see how they managed in the Red Zone. 1st Quarter Trip One: Time: 7:13 - 1st-and-10 at the Colts' 20-yard-line: With Arian Foster out nursing a sore hamstring,...
