    We sprung leaks all over today.

    Too many mistakes. A lot of stuff going on that's good but can't overcome the mistakes.

    My job to make sure we don't have penalties. I look at myself everyday. That's the way I operate. I'm the coach. We're doing numerous things to hurt ourselves.

    Schaub a little bit of everything with his leg
    Manning got a knee
    Greg Jones an ankle
    Bouye a hamstring

    We sprung leaks everywhere. It was across the board. Everywhere. A lot of fingers pointed in one direction but a lot of issues.

    A lot of talk about our QB. As I tell you all the time, it's a team game. We have a lot of issues to be fixed. Coaching and playing. Today was a great indicator. Leaks everywhere.

    T.J. got reps to look at (as coaches) and made his share of mistakes. He has the same responsibility. The other guy played good until he got hurt. He has to protect the ball better.

    Greg Jones has played better and better for us.

    Keyshawn played with a banged up shoulder. That's why Danieal was the KR.

    Texans were contenders at the start of the season, have fallen to rock bottom, and there are problems all over.

    Rockets are only in preseason mode.

    I'm sure if the situation was reversed, it might be different.

    Defenses only have to defend 15 yrds of field at any given time

    I'm sick of people b****ing about this

    Call in about the rockets and they'll talk about it

    For the most part, more people care about football than anything else

    This reads like a tragic parody. Hilarious.

    It's still the preseason in the NBA. If come late November the Rockets are off to a great start and the Texas are lottery-bound and those stations are still talking football over basketball, then you have a valid complaint.

    And that's where your moral code breaks down.

    You lack empathy.

    And people have stronger reactions when things go bad than when things go good. If the Astros weren't so bad that everybody stopped caring about them, they'd be talked about a lot too.

    The fact that the Texans were considered contenders and have done nothing but suck this season will generate more anger and strong feelings than anything else. So there's naturally going to be a lot of conversation about them. There would be less if they were winning or if they were expected to suck, but to have reality going head to head with expectations, that's going to stimulate a lot of discussion.

    I doubt it. The 2-14 texans drove the conversation in houston. This despite the astros going to the world series.

    I don't know about that. There just seems like a huge lack of warmth for the Rockets from the stations. I remember tuning into when they first signed Dwight..they talked about it for 5 minutes and then moved onto the Texans for the rest of the day. Same when the Rockets were in the playoffs while Texans were in offseason.

    The modern internet era has made it so easy to judge others.

    I feel empathy for those who will actually feel true hardship... not for someone who will have a banged up ankle/leg and have his hot wife drive him home in his $90,000 BMW.

    Nice try, but your own posts condemn you. It was ALWAYS about him not deserving fan sympathy because he is a millionnaire. Just stop it already. Own who you are and move on. I promise you we all will.

    You obviously have reading comprehension issues. I didn't feel JOY as a result of the pain Schaub was in. However I didn't feel SYMPATHY for the predicament he was in either. I'm not a ****ing sadist.

    What does his income have to do with anything though? What difference does it make if he was making 10 buck an hour or if he makes a million dollars a game?
