Look, at the end of the day, Kubiak learned a lesson, and they still won the game. Better to have to answer those questions and still have WON the game. 2-0 Is 2-0 baby !! DD
interesting sidebar that kubiak just shanahanned shanahan, the inventor of the last sec time out call on fg's all in all, im SOOOO relieved we pulled out this win, this team needed to finally shake the demons of old, first by beating indy, then by coming back to win OT on the road... 2 feats that would never happen in years past. TEXANS HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED!!!
Wow! Talk about all Kubiaks calls went the right way Lucky!! :grin: Ugly game but a win is a win! Texans 2-0!
You know the Texans have improved for the better, because it's the good teams that have the calls/breaks go their way down the stretch of the game when it counts. Pollard, AJ, Mario, KW, JJ, Foster, Schaub... all of these players had good games, but a lot of players made some boneheaded moves as well. I'm personally not going to overlook the Cowgirls next weekend, although I know everyone here is predicting a win. It's our secondary that's going to bite us in the ass, I hope something happens between now and next week!
Honestly: I don't understand why everyone here wanted to execute Kubiak because he didn't try the 50+ yard FG especially since Rackers has already missed one from 40+ yards (I believe). Rackers' misses that kick and everyone will be screaming at Kubiak for going for the FG. Kubiak showed great confidence in his defense and I believe that will pay off down the line later in the season. This is the type of game they would have lost last year. I'm none too happy about how the O-Line was manhandled today but that's to be expected when you play an NFC East team because those teams are used to playing against bigger offensive lines. A win is a win is a win. Next up: the 0-2 Dallas Cowboys. I expect them to be absolutely desperate now after a week of getting b****ed out by everyone up here.
Because you play to WIN. The other team wasn't afraid to try to win the game. You have to have faith in your players to pull through. My main complaint about the coach is that he seems to play not to lose, as opposed to going for a win. I hate that. He pussied out twice today. We were fortunate that their kicker missed.
it's hard to move up the power rankings when your secondary gives up that many yards. I'd rather them be rated lower and play with a chip on their shoulders.
why is steve slaton the kick returner now? he was giving us terrible field position. I thought he was going to fumble it.
Man I forgot about that! With his fire I know he's been keeping in shape just waiting to get on the field. We get over the cowgirls, raiders don't even qualify as a "trap" game, we could be 4 and 0. Yes I'm looking past the cowboys, wanna fight about it?
I'm exhausted. It felt like I watched 2 fully length football games. Much props to Washington, that landry is a special player and was all over schaub the great. But schaub like rocky, when he was seing three dragos, withstood the onslaught and never went into panic mode. Glorious victory for our kids that just battled out there. Uggh, I'm still not sure about kubiak's decision to not kick the 52 yard fg. I guess he's the commander and knows his troops better than anyone.
