Ok, I'll agree with that but take this into consideration. One thing to note Crap-pepper went self-preservation if he would've kept his head up that would have been a far more devastating tackle.
Interesting tid-bit: The Texans have three leaders at no LOWER than number three of overall statistical performance. Offensive/Defensive Stats Carr, #1 top passer rating. Johnson, #3 for total receiving yards Ryans, #3 for total tackles What to make of this? Early season inflation? I don't know, but certainly the individual numbers haven't translated to wins....YET Great win, lets stick it to the Cowgirls.
Carr's QB rating today was 95.5. That probably means he retains his top passer rating through week 4 (he had a sizeable 6+ point lead over #2 last week, and there wasn't a whole lot of offense around the NFL today).
I'm gonna agree with IC2000 for once. Why did mario get credit for the second sack? He was like the 3rd person to pile on after Culpepper went down? Thanks for the Replay Slowly. During the broadcast I thought the PBP guy said "that is a guerilla that jumped on his back." The gurilla being Mario. Good thing I was wrong. PS. I'm very disapointed by IC2000 and Fattybastards lack of smack prior to and post the A&M/Tech game. Especially IC2000, that's very Kubiack of you.
The first two are not independent. The fact that Johnson is #3 in receiving yards goes a long way toward making Carr #1 in passer rating. But Carr has been pretty good, any fool can see that. And Ryans has been spectacular. The team has huge holes at running back and secondary. And the DL and OL aren't quite adequate. But Ryans, Carr, and the receivers are doing very well.
Sssshhhhhh..... Let's hope they don't take that 1/2 sack away Weaver brought him down, Mario touched him and then Ryans touched him.
what about that chick's legs and thighs congrats marion and thanks for the "tip" at the end. funny that Kubes did not watch the play.
Yep, thats the one. Seriously, great win for the Texans. It would have been demoralizing if they had lost.
I wish I could see a Texans games for once. All I can say is that Dunta, Mario, and Demeco are GREAT cornerstones for this defense that have me excited beyond belief. We just gotta get this team playing together, and add a few more great, young players and we should be quite the team next year.
Carr's INT wasnt even one. The ball was stripped but wuteva. Great game. I was in teh bottom bowl when the TExans scored both the touchdowns. Such a fun game, espeically since we got the W.
You could say they aren't independent. The fact that Carr is #1 in passer rating goes a long way toward making Johnson #3 in recieving yards. I mean, come on...someone has to give him the ball. We do need a better running game, although Dayne didn't look so bad today. Glad we got the win! Here's to 6 more. A man can dream...can't he?
That might get corrected in the official records. Having said that...who cares?? They won!!!!! I only caught bits and pieces of the game...but at the end, the Texans had more points than their opponent. That's a good thing.
It's far easier to blame Carr for the ills of this franchise than to look squarely and honestly at the true reasons why the Texans are a bad team that is years away from being competitive.
Now that the excitement of our first win is over, I've had time to reflect on this game.... I'm still REALLY WORRIED about our defense. That last drive by Miami was a train wreck waiting to happen. They just went right down the field on us and they're HORRIBLE. We seem to have no way to defend: 1. The quick pass 2. The draw play These 2 plays have killed us all year long. If not for that bizarre 2-point conversion play, we could be singing a different tune this morning. Sitting on the ball before halftime was a huge mistake. In hindsight, it could have cost us the game. We were moving the ball against Miami, why not try to get a FG before halftime? If we had got a FG (and we had enough time go get one), we would have been up by 11 instead of 8 and the ending would have been a lot less dramatic. Horrible coaching decision.
