Post-Game Breakdown: Texans Drop Heartbreaker To Colts In Indianapolis
Almost a full day later, it still hurts. If you're a believer in moral victories, yesterday's loss in Indianapolis probably counts as a moral victory. If you're like me, moral victories do very little for you eight (8) years in. Still, there's a lot to like from what we saw yesterday against the...
Post-Game Breakdown: Texans Dominate Raiders
The offense has looked better this season. The defense most definitely hadn't. Qualify the victory however you want, but give me those qualifications every day of the week over the suicide watch that would have surely accompanied a loss. 2-2 is exponentially better than 1-3, so we should...
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. ...
Thoughts From The Game: Week Two
NFL Replay is a great program. I watched most of the game live on Sunday, and then I watched it again that night (DVR is a beautiful thing), but seeing the big plays with NFL Films replays and player analysis from post-game conferences is amazing. Tim did an outstanding job reviewing the overall...
Post-Game Breakdown: Jets v. Texans (Part II)
If you haven't read it yet, here's Part I. On to Part II: 1. Lots of talk about Matt Schaub, and it seems to be of the chicken-egg variety. Did Schaub look bad because the offensive line couldn't keep the Jets off of him? Or was Schaub at least party responsible for the hits he took due to a...
Post-Game Breakdown: Jets v. Texans (Part I)
This. I killed myself for this? That thought, along with my buddy Mark's repeated mutterings of "Useless *@#&s," played on a constant loop in my head throughout the second half of yesterday's game. The back story: More than a year ago, my cousin got engaged. She selected September 12, 2009 as...
Post-Game Breakdown: I Prefer To Focus On 8-4 (Part II)
Apologies for the delay in posting the second part of the final PGB of the season (Part I here). Work, prayers getting answered and Riott's arrival (not to mention his subsequent badarsery) kept my plate full last week. We already checked out the offense's performance against Da Bears, with an...
Post-Game Breakdown: I Prefer To Focus On 8-4
As SOLIS noted here, 8-8 is worlds better than 7-9. 8-4, which is what your Houston Texans accomplished after their 0-4 start, is even more impressive when you consider that the bagel they posted through the first quarter of the season eliminated them (for all practical purposes) from postseason...
Texans 31, Bears 24: Rejoice!
Fresh off a rousing win over the Bears to close out the 2008 season, your Houston Texans are again 8-8. Not the winning season we had hoped for, but not the dismal season we all envisioned after that 0-4 start. Starting the game down ten and then rallying to win says a lot about the boys in deep...
Post-Game Breakdown: And The Bandwagon Empties
Drat. That tasted like failure. For all the positive press your Houston Texans received after knocking out the top team in the conference, there's been an equal amount of teeth grinding over yesterday's horrendous loss to Oakland. While one game does not a season make and shouldn't erase the...
