I cannot say this does not bother me This is the first I heard of him having this issue but now we saying he had it before . . .. hhhmmm Rocket River
Even though the Texans' D got torched today, I'm not really concerned about that. I'm more concerned with the offensive playcalling and Schaub's horrible decision making and execution. I think he will shake it off and come back strong next game, but if that crops up during the playoffs, it's all she wrote.

That sums it up. These passionless, gutless, and thoroughly whimpy performances when it really counts are becoming a trademark. Big Sunday night game against the Packers, we pack it in. Huge Monday night against the Pats, choke. Homefield within their grasp, open a big can of quit. The Texans are lightly regarded by the national sports media, and with good reason. The lack of passion is the most disturbing aspect of their "big game" performances. Yes, we are looking at you Gary Kubiak. It is what's up front that counts. Leadership, leadership, leadership.
This has josh innes written all over it? over and under? who wants to bet? Or the old fat man, not to be confused with pancakes.
Embarrassing game. Defense did more than enough. Something is seriously wrong with the offense and I'm afraid it's more than just the right side of the o-line.
A game to forget. The offense as a whole was pathetic. This place has become like the GARM of the old days after Rockets losses. You would think that we were 3-12 after reading some of the doom and gloom posts on here.
Its not doom and gloom...its stating the obvious...if you were a betting man...the way Cincy is playing, you would think they have a chance if the Texans end up as the 3rd seed. Just saying.
I agree that there is a ton of PMsing around here, but the line play has become inconsistent at best. Line play is so important, it's one of the reasons why the steelers are going to be missing out on the playoffs. All I want is for them to get their mojo back, keep #8 clean and foster moving forward.
That would have been the first game of the 2009 season, and that lose cost them a wild card (tie breaker). The Texans just rolled over like dogs and wagged their tail. I've always thought Kubiak should have been fired over that game, and I still do. His team made so much noise during training camp, there was a lot of excitement, expectations were high, and the players (his players) just flat out gave up and played without any heart or focus. I just wonder if what we're seeing this season is about the high point that Kubiak and Schaub can take us. We'll know soon enough.
team that are clickin' and playing HOT entering the playoff wins ... not higher seed When was the last time a #1 seed won the superbowl from AFC? I'm guess 04' Patriots and we are not playing "championship" football lately... can't just flip the switch Denver is playing like it.
If Peyton ends up winning the afc title and going to the superbowl, I wouldn't even be mad at him. Hes an elite qb who plays like it.
