No. If you pay attention to the league, you would know that we were almost 8 point dogs for a reason. They're coming off a bye. Forget Mario. I think we would have had a shot with AJ out there. We were in the game. I liked what the defense showed. I'm ok with the loss. Like I mentioned, I will go ape-ish if we lose next week. Win the games you're supposed to and we're fine. There's no reason that we can't go 8-2 as long as no other key players get injured.
We lost. It sucks. I'll be over it tomorrow. I'm perfectly fine with losing to a better team on the road when we are missing two of our best. In fact, with Andre, if we play them in the playoffs, it wouldn't be a total shocker to see us win. Next week isn't a must win, but we need it, bad. As far as wide receiver depth, I'm fine with where we are. I was impressed with Mason, and he will only get better. I would like to address the depth for next year early in the draft, though. I wouldn't mind getting another corner, though. As far as Schaub goes, I give him two years to win a playoff game, and if not, bring in the heir apparent. Many times he looks good trying to bring the team back, but he usually cant get the job done. In the past, defense has had a lot to do with that, but now that our defense is proving competent, it's nuts to the dresser time.
I was thinking how the players have mastered the "loser locker room" post game interview scripts. I guess because they have used them so many times. Kubiak sounds like a recording; maybe it is a recording. They play hard, but .....I think a loss to the Titans who incidentally beat the stuffing out the Ravens will but the city, the team, the fans into melt down mode.
I wont start to worry until we lose a game against a crap team that we should win against. We lose to the Bucs, Falcons and the Titans in Nashville but win out against the Jags(2), Colts, Titans@home, Browns@home, Bengals and Panthers@home...10-6.
Jonathan Joseph: "We could easily be standing here and be 6-0 today." Well tell your boy Kubes to get a competent CB to play opposite you instead of the bust Creamed Jackson or Allen.
We suck on the road and the Titans are tough at home. Even in the midst of their suckitude last season, they kicked our ass in Nashville for their only win in their last 9 games.
I was happy to lose that game since it helped our draft position. Britt had 128 receiving yards in that one. The second closest receiver in terms of yards had 40. I'll stick to my guns. We're going to win Sunday.
You could see it in schaub's face on the sidelines at the start of the 4th quarter. He new they had zero chance of winning.
Not to beat a dead horse but in the first quarter both Daniels and Mason got themselves open and made some big plays. They both had two receptions. Then the rest of the game they were not involved in anything else (well Mason had one meaningless catch late). I know on the one touchdown Daniels was surrounded by four Ravens but did the Ravens D really take him completely out of it the rest of the game? There was no way to scheme around what they were doing to get the (current) best receiver some looks? Or the guy that has a good career and made two good grabs early on? Shocker, that seems like a coaching issue. I am not emotionally invested in these games, though, because of Kubiak. I think the worst thing that could happen is to make the playoffs because that will be their ceiling but he will be allowed to keep trying for that one extra game. I have wanted Kubes gone since the middle of the 9-7 season and I have seen nothing change since.

Next game is a MUST WIN of MUST WINS.....Maybe the most important in franchise history(I hate when columnist say this)...They should treat it as such.......
you know why just about every week is the "most important game in franchise history"? Because this team, 10 years in, has yet to do a damn thing. Every game that carries with it the hope (false or not) of finally becoming something beyond a mediocre also-ran falls into this clichéd category. So yes, the next few games will be the most important in Texans history. It's not hard to make history when you have no history to speak of.
