What would you suggest? Draft a QB? That's won't work, not with Andre in his prime. The Texans don't have time to develop a new QB.
red zone failboating, two 3 and outs with the lead and under 10 minutes left to play, kareem jackson. that's what did it, folks. i'm guessing the first two problems wouldn't have existed if we had Arian Foster available. thanks, kubes.
Beavis is Brian_Chapman. Look at his posts in the D&D. He just predicted an earthquake or tsunami in NY in the next week.
Where were the exotic blitz packages? There was not enough pressure in the second half. Back to the drawing board. All is forgiven if we win next week. I think most of us would have been content with a split.
Not having Arian was killer today. A healthy Foster, the Texans convert at least 1 or 2 of th fgs into tds
Same ol Texans... Schaub with the unclutch play... Corners playing 8 yards off the ball when the Saints are in the 10 yard line........ not utilizing Walters in the red zone.... questionable playcallin after gettin a comfortable lead.... Kareem Jackson still wearing a jersey.....conservative defensive playcalling on 3rd and long...... and last but not least Kubiak is still Kubiak
Pretty depressing lose but not unexpected. Saints offense is elite when it gets going like that, so not horribly worried but KJax needs to be benched, his trash talking crap got his ass beat badly. Kubiak's playcalling will hold this team back, Wade deserves blame but for a team that loves to run the ball, they sure did give up on it at crappy times. Schaub makes a lot of great plays and is a smart guy but not sure how much I trust him to make the winning plays in games like this.
Not picking on one player... but what were Mario William's stats today? It seemed he was invisible, and the only time I remember hearing his name was when he was hurt.
Very, very disappointing, sound familiar. This team has talent, but there is a systemic dysfunction about this bunch. They predictably self destruct. It is a combination of play calling, personalities, and untimely mistakes. I think I know what will fix it, but none of those things are going to happen. Team Disappointment gets another shot next week. This one was right there for the taking, they couldn't do it.
Exactly. And not to mention the dropped passes by Tate that Foster would have caught. And just the overall better vision and cuts Foster would have gave.
To me this sums up our "main" problem today. We forced the turnovers but did not capitalize in the red zone. If you look at last years numbers that is where Foster was most efficient. I love Ben Tate but he is not that great in the Red Zone compared to Foster. I would almost guarantee if we had a "health" Foster today would have been a win.
