Defense saved their asses. That and the Bengals lousy offense. No such luck on the horizon in New England.

Foster had a great game as well. It's not like Offense went out there and did nothing. Just didn't get it done in the redzone.

i have delayed hating on the 4x FG and no 4th & 1 attempts for a few hours out of respect for ARIAN FOSTER'S great game!!!!

Kubiak didn't go for it on those 4th and shorts because he knew Dalton couldn't get it done. I bet he goes for a few next week if needed. You can't settle against Brady.

I'm surprised that you guys haven't figured out this yet. Our offense goes thru Foster just like Minnesota's goes thru A.P. Both QBs are just cogs in the machine.

I would take that over a crowbar in the spokes.

Pretty much.

Schaub was never the elite player that carried this team forward. It has always been guys like Foster. When the run game is looking average...then the entire offense looks horrible. It's not a coincidence.

Schaub is good enough to get the team far, but other players have to step up. It's clear he's not going to consistently carry this team...but that is why we have all-pro players like Watt and Foster and Andre to do that for us.

Nosir. I figured it out a long time ago, but since I don't like it I still complain. A QB would be nice, I'm funny that way.

i'd like to mention this more:

GREAT JOB TODAY OFFENSIVE LINE!!!

We have some of the most miserable fans. Some of you sound like you would rather have seen a loss so you don't have to be bothered next week

Ok, point blank.. forget the win. Did you think we played well today?? Or, if you are one of these, did you think we played like a 12-4 team today??

I can promise you Kubes and Schaub came closer than they should have to losing this game.

I said earlier this week that a ton of these fans in here don't deserve to root for a winner. Definitely some of the most miserable fans for sure. I bitched my ass off for years when we were pulling out 8-8 seasons and Kubiak kept screwing things up. I still think he's a dog as a HC, but right now we're coming off of a winning season and despite backing into the Wild Card game, we pulled out the win and played a tough game. I'll take it, and I'll be enjoy this playoff game. Love watching my team in the playoffs!! I've been waiting for like 10 years for that, and I'll enjoy it while it lasts!!

Let the miserable fans drown in their misery at some dark bar somewhere.

[Showtime100]

Lol, some just know good football when they see it.

They played well enough to win. The d did a great job. Schaub threw a pick which put us in a bad spot however I don't think picks are unheard of. The offense has to play better Schaub first and foremost. Dre and the rest of the crew need to catch passes that hit them in the hands and Gary has to call plays that put us past the first down marker or in the endzone on third downs.


If we are to win next weekend we have to play better, but win or lose I'm all in for next week and am glad for the win. I'm not going to ***** and moan and talk about a lost cause next week

Yep.

I think we played well.

Defense allowed 6 points, Offense ran the ball well...that is on Kubiak too since he's a Denver Zone guy, the running game is on him.

Did they play well in all phases of the game? Nope. But you aren't going to play perfect in the playoffs because of the competition.

Yeah, 12-4 was not us today.

Can't get there from here.



So what if it wasn't "textbook"... Its the final score that counts.
Would you have preferred that Schaub threw for 500 yds and 3-4 TDs again but we lost?

Three words in a bigger context and you know it, my good friend.

Agreed. We won, I'm happy as Hell about that and I'm just talking a little football.

What?

[Textan]

Texans definitely showed some signs of life today. Defense played outstanding. Offense's still sputtering, but I'm thinking all cylinders will be firing soon.
Schaub, one INT for six, but all and all played pretty damn good.
Who knows what will happen next week.
