    Can you broker investments for me? With that kind of logic we can't lose!

    Question:

    We get B- level type performance from Keenum, throws 1 INT/2TD's and the Texans still lose. Does he stay the starter?

    He'll throw the ball if it seems to work.

    Kubiak likes to outthink himself, I bet right now he's going "I bet Reid thinks I'm going to start the game off running...watch this." and we'll start the game off passing for better or worse.

    Thing is, KC is giving up like 5 ypc and 23rd in ypg...so it might actually be a good idea to just run it down their throats. You get behind and let them rush your QB and wreak havoc in the 2ndary then it might become a losing battle any how.

    So IF anything it's a great idea to start it off with running them tired and then working in the pass...but Kubes will outmsart himself and pass against their much stronger pass defense.

    Then why would he start Keenum against a rabid defense, with his job on the line, over somebody like Yates who has already proven his checkdown ability?

    Maybe this why KUBES didn't start him? His son was in the opposite end of that score. :D I was there... I was COLD got drenched in rain and the red on my tshirt stained my undershirt.

    Maybe Kubiak remembers how badly his son Klein lost that day? ;)

    Case may not be ready, but I love his attitude. He Really wants this. it is such a contrast to the way Schaub and TJ talk about the game of football. All his comments point to him wanting the pressure. I hope he does well, but the odds are against him.

    I'm looking forward to the ball being spread around more, a long bomb to Hopkins, and a QB scramble.

    I'm happy Case got the call, but this decision reeks of desperation nonetheless. I don't think the Texans will make the playoffs, and I put that completely on Kubiak.

    Case has a cannon arm upgrade AJ -- this definitely exciting news!

    How is it desperation? The starting QB is hurt.

    No, I don't get that. Can you remember a time in the history of the NFL when a coach has done that to a quarterback? If he's starting, he's going to play the entire game unless he is injured or is just doing a horrible job.

    Mohammad Sanu would have been a major cannon upgrade for AJ.... poor Schaub (but not really).

    I can't believe it. It's happening boys!

    I've never wanted a QB to as good as I want Case to on Sunday.

    Go Keenum!
