Post-Game Breakdown: Texans Lose To Broncos In Typically Absurd Fashion
What else is there to say? Great teams find a way to win. Bad teams find a way to lose. Actually, that may be oversimplifying things a bit. Your Houston Texans are not a truly wretched football team, in that they don't always get the snot beat out of them week after week. A loss is a loss is a...
Post-Game Breakdown: Titans Smoke Texans
The past several years, I've been fortunate enough to attend the annual tilt between the Texans and Bud Adams' Army of Darkness in Nashville. I generally head up there with my dad and a handful of buddies. We watch football or basketball all day Saturday at a local sports bar, head out to the bars...
Post-Game Breakdown: Texans Stage Improbable Comeback, Then Fail In Totally Probable Fashion On Monday Night Football
To any other fanbase, last night's overtime loss to the Ravens would qualify as an outlier. Storming back from 21 points down to force overtime, only to lose in gut-wrenching fashion on a pick-six? That's the kind of stuff that doesn't happen every week. To most teams, anyway. To the 2010 Houston...
Post-Game Breakdown: Texans Fall To Eagles To Drop To 5-7...Again
Same as it ever was. These breakdowns get harder every week, in no small part because I feel like I'm repeating myself. For all the talk about any given Sunday, it seems like your Houston Texans are living the 2010 version of "Groundhog Day." Forgive me if I go a little big picture on you after...
Post-Game Breakdown: Texans Beat Up Titans
When your team is facing a squad in turmoil that's starting a QB who was picked in the sixth round of the prior draft, your team, provided it has some talent, should beat the opposition. Handily, even. For perhaps the first time all season, your Houston Texans actually followed the script. Instead...
Post-Game Breakdown: Texans Stink, Mount Impressive Comeback, Yet Still Lose Game In Heartbreaking Fashion To Jets
I watched yesterday's game with my family. It was a typical game-watching experience--some frustrated profanity, some nervous excitement, some Coors Light, some cheering, some dejection, some more frustrated profanity, some more Coors Light, a slight amount of disbelief, a hefty portion of...
Post-Game Breakdown: Another Dumbfounding Chapter In Texans Fandom Is Written As Good Guys Fall To Jaguars
Someone once said that comedy equals tragedy plus time. And I have no doubt that, years from now, when comparing their bona fides, Texans fans will be able to laugh at the final play from yesterday's game. You know, sort of like we do with the Rosencopter--it still hurts to watch, we don't...
Post-Game Breakdown: Colts Easily Handle Texans On Monday Night Football
Perhaps one day, my great grandchildren will witness your Houston Texans win a game in Indianapolis. With efforts like yesterday's, I have very little faith a Houston win in the Hoosier State will happen during my lifetime. Or at least as long as Peyton Manning is under center, anyway. As it's...
Post-Game Breakdown: Texans Rally To Beat Chiefs
Several fans have said it, so it hardly qualifies as some sort of profound observation: Your Houston Texans are 4-2, but it sure doesn't feel like your Houston Texans are 4-2. The defense is putrid, and there's no reason to think it's going to get appreciably better. Indeed, after the loss of...
Post-Game Breakdown: Giants Embarrass Texans
Two days later, I'm still not sure how to describe what we saw transpire at Reliant on Sunday. Rivers deemed it "easily the worst loss of the Schaub Era, and probably the worst loss of the Kubiak Era." I think that's a fair analysis, particularly with regard to Matt Schaub, whose play was simply...
