    We underachieved vs the Jets. We'll just agree to disagree on that.

    The last 4 games last year were a big spot. We could've sealed homefield against MIN and got whooped at home. Are they a good team? Do they have a stellar passing attack?

    The Texans need to do better both nationally and big spots. We had a few good games last year, but overall, the season was floppish. Injury played a role, but the QB and coaching could've/should've been better.

    OK lol.

    So basically your whole national tv argument has degraded into not having breakdowns in any game, regardless of tv status.

    They fell apart at the end of last year. Kubiak got ULTRA conservative, Schaub played like he was hurt and the defense was doing poorly. I agree. It has nothing to do with choking in big spots though.

    I questioned whether the team could consistently handle big moments before Monday Night and the game reinforced my opinion. Schaub did show some improvement and I liked Kubiak being more aggressive.. just wished we didn't need a 21 deficit to ignite it.

    that was a good comeback by the Texans. My friends and I were at a sports bar talking to a San Diego fan, we left at the end of 3rd telling her Houston is going to make a comeback, she must be mad lol

    I don't understand why the NFL would come out and say it was the wrong call? How exactly does this help anybody. Charger fans are going to be upset because they feel cheated, Texans fans are going to be upset because now their win is "tainted", the referee looks like an idiot for making a mistake. Why not just send a memo to the referees better explaining the rules and leave it at that.

    I had no issue with the effectiveness. Hearing Sugar Huddle and Casino Blitz just sounds so off putting to me. "Dilferisms" are just plain stupid.

    On another note, they never showed Dilfer or Berman. Were they even in the stadium?

    Translation: Game time decision.

    Get used to this for the next 10 weeks or so.

    If you thought they were going to make a comeback why did you leave?

    i thought their mic volume was too low (probably a good thing) and the stadium/press box lighting was really dark.

    It's only crazy if it doesn't work...

    I might rather drink 2 sips of piss than eat a veggie burger.

    Exactly. Something was off about the broadcast.
