Post-Game Breakdown: Texans Fell Patriots For Ninth Win Of Season
Tempting as it might be, I could hardly let your Houston Texans' record-breaking ninth win of the season go by without a PGB, however late and/or unnecessary it might be. We'll have plenty of looks at the season and team as a whole, as well as individual players, in the days and weeks ahead. For...
Post-Game Breakdown: Texans Beat Bills To Improve To 5-3
That was, well, uh, unique. Come the offseason, what will we remember yesterday's win for? That Owen Daniels' otherworldy season was cruelly cut short? That Steve Slaton's inability to hold onto the football finally had lasting consequences? That Ryan Moats somehow laid claim to a job that none...
Post-Game Breakdown: Cardinals Hold When It Counts
I thought letting an extra day pass would make Sunday's loss a bit easier to digest. It hasn't. What we witnessed on Sunday was a microcosm of the alternately thrilling and nauseating roller coaster that has been your 2009 Houston Texans. The first half featured a defense that couldn't stop...
Post-Game Breakdown: Jaguars Defeat Texans
Yak. As passionate as I am about your Houston Texans, I generally try not to overreact to a single game. Admittedly, I sometimes fail. This is one of those times. With that warning in mind, go ahead and skip the rest of this post if you're looking for pick-me-ups or they'll-get-'em-next-times. ...
Post-Game Breakdown: The Texans Are What We Were Afraid They Were
Which is to say, your Houston Texans feature an offense that can consistently score on average to below-average opposition and a defense that cannot consistently stop anyone. Truthfully, the outcome of yesterday's game was reasonably predictable if you weren't wearing battle red glasses and...
Post-Game Breakdown: Livin' On The Road, My Friend...Sucks
Better late than never, right? As Baltimore is fast ahead, let's put the latest road loss in the rearview mirror as quickly as possible... 1. The most maddening thing I think I've read all season, courtesy of Jacques "I Make Petey Faggins Look Good" Reeves: "That’s what I want," Reeves said...
Post-Game Breakdown: One Of These Days, The Texans Will Put Together A Complete Effort
Final numbers from the victory over Detroit are here. I suppose I'd have to say that Sunday's win was better than the previous week's win, primarily because the offense looked simply unstoppable for a half against the Lions, while it was much more inconsistent throughout (cough...Schaub...cough)...
Post-Game Breakdown (Part II): The Day After Houston Rosenfailed
A day later, I really don't feel any different than I did last night. I still maintain that Sage Rosenfels gave Indianapolis the game. I still maintain that the coaches and/or playcalling were not responsible for the loss, though I appreciate the solid back-and-forth that the two camps had going in...
Post-Game Breakdown: The Houston Texans Make Me Sick
I'd love to sit here and tell you that your Houston Texans are "the best 0-2 team you'll ever see." Really, I would. But I can't, because they're not. The numbers don't lie. Since the 2008 regular season began, the Texans have looked like something that is expelled from a canine's anus. In...
Post-Game Breakdown: The Suck...Oh, How It Burns!
SON OF A .... What can I say? Yesterday, we all witnessed a beating the likes of which we thought we had left in the rearview mirror. Evidently, we were wrong, because the Steelers destroyed your Houston Texans in every way they could be destroyed. If they had been so inclined, Roethlisberger,...
