Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like this team, outside the Colts game, is always playing from behind. And it's funny because after the Washington game Kubiak and the players kept saying they can't afford to play catch up, especially to the better teams. Just sick of the same old crap...the constant fumbles (though Foster seems to have avoided that problem), the stupid penalties, the silly mistakes, the lack of preparation, the lack of urgency and fire, the conservative style, the questionable decisions, the poor clock management. Sick of it all. And now they're starting to play with a little more fire...but again where was that the other 3 quarters?
Welp, the Texans are moving again, but my confidence in the defense getting a stop is less than zero.
our offense has some potholes too, o-line has spotty pass protection, schaub holds on to ball too long, playcalling suspect

A lot of the latter two is affected by the first one. The O-line has failed to consistently get pockets all year, especially against GOOD quality defenses. Unfortunatley, the coaches haven't really adjusted the gameplan to counteract that... simply trying to run the same stuff but without the same quality of blocking. It likely gets better with Duane Brown back... and hell, can't get much worse (then again, it could... see 2002 Texans).
