It's a wonder how you people are even sports fans. I would have killed myself a long time ago if I could never enjoy the wins.

Bottom line we just stomped a mudhole in our rival, are 2-0 in the division and get the sorry jags next week.

Let the good times keep rollin!

The play against the grain to Foster showed Schaub is a cerebral, cut above the rest QB. Foster, also solidified as an offensive gun, a deadly weapon.

In all the dust and blood of battle Schaub and Foster ran a perfect play.

I liked Schaub's game today, did good... liked that one pass to Daniels, put it in a decent spot in what was good coverage...

Its easy to play QB when your team runs for 200+ yards .....

I think he does. He also pulled Kareem Jackson off the field after his first mistake and I don't think he saw him again.

He also called Foster in the pass game much more often.

Kubiak called a great goddamn game today. And it's so....SO okay to give just a shred of credit to everyone involved without being a ****ing debbie downer.

You expect the team to screw up somewhere down the line, good. Great. Just ***** about it when it happens. Not after a ****ing great game where pretty much everything worked unbelievably great save for Danieal Manning getting hurt.

Just STUFF THE CRAP for once. That goes for everyone who spouts this garbage every freaking minute of every freaking day. It's a wonder how you people enjoy ANYTHING.

Kubiak did good today.

Now go find some of this stuff.... stat!

I'll try.

He's right.

A dangerous running game is what makes this offense tick. Take away the running game and you take away the play action and boot leg passes. We ran the ball and protected well to boot, and in those circumstances Schaub plays like a pro-bowler.

Should probably just get off the board for good. Stick around strictly for gameday discussion or if there are any news bits to discuss.

I can't believe this win is being ruined.

This is a football BBS. Overreacting to everything, both good and bad, is what we do. It's what most fans do. Everyone who posts here is guilty of it because it's normal behavior for sports fans.

Great game for the coaches and great one for the players. Schaub started pretty rough, but as Foster turned it on it relieved the pressure from Schaub and he turned it on, Im telling you that when he has pressure he folds, but if you keep him mostly clean he can be flawless. The run game is the most important thing to this offense and it seems like we figured out how to make it go without AJ. Will only get better once he returns....

They ran the same play against the Raiders. It works when the defense overreacts to the play action boot. Which is setup by the run. Everything was clicking.

After the 0-4 start to Schaub's day. Wild would be an understatement regarding Matt's early inaccuracy. Then he went 18-19. Lights out. Efficient. Mistake free.

Was the run game on, today? Yes. Did the o-line block their arse off? Yes. Is that the only explanation to Schaub's performance today and the previous few weeks? I don't know. But, he played great today.

For the life of me I cannot think of a single QB that this statement does not apply to.
I've seen Brady, Peyton, Brees, Sanchez (especially Sanchez), Roethlisberger (remember how the Ravens dismantled him - in fact, so did we) all wilt under repeated hits and constant pressure. Schaub is no different. The difference seems to be, those other guys appear to get better protection from game to game than Schaub.

Thats what I was trying to get at....its very inconsistent therefore his play is all over the place....and in Houston we blame the qb FOR EVERYTHING lol

those other guys seem to make plays more often than not, which is why schaub is considered a second teir qb

I don't think Flacco was protected any better than Schaub was last week. But he seemed to put together a great game (great as in Ray Rice had a great game).



Schaub had an opportunity to make a statement last week. If you want teams to stop blitzing you, you gotta beat them. He needs help from his receivers, but there were some big plays to open receivers that Schaub didn't make.

First, we only got to Flacco twice. They sacked Schaub 4 times and hurried him at least as many times; probably more. So Flacco wasn't under the same level of pressure as Schaub for the duration of the game.

The key to the Ravens coming out on top last week was Ray Rice's 4th qtr running more than Flacco. We didn't have anything close to an effective running game last week. And then there's the small matter that we couldn't cover Anquan Boldin or Torrey Smith deep.

Who did we have that could get deep? Jacoby got deep once; that was it.

An effective running game is the best anti-blitz medicine. When the front seven have to respect your running attack they can't pin their ears back and sell out on the pass rush.
And as I asked above, who do we have that's a serious deep threat? No one really... at least not until AJ comes back.

it's the run game kubes passed enough to keep em honest and ran itdown their throat. major props for the guys todau job well done all around.

[Hervoyel]

One thing I couldn't help but notice was that today it didn't seem like we'd just do some bizarre inexplicable thing for no apparent reason. We didn't effectively run over them for four straight plays and then suddenly abandon the run. It seemed like we had our fun letting Vickers try to be a running back (note to self, he does not touch the ball again) and we did our funky little end-around but for the most part I don't recall thinking often "Why are you doing this? Why did you stop doing what worked?"

That's a hallmark of a Texans self-crapping. The sudden abandoning of the run when it appears to be unstoppable. The out of nowhere trick play when you are finding success just lining up and knocking them off the ball. We didn't do much if any of that today and I for one enjoyed the hell out of it.

Didn't see all the game because of crappy feeds online.

Did we get Schaub's patented $hitty throw of the game today or will we get a two-fer next week?

He got it out of the way early when he overthrew Walter by a mile. I think it was Walter, might have been Jacoby. The ball went so far over the receiver I didn't really try to see who it was. Then once he had that out of the way he got on with it and had one of those days that makes you think we got the QB spot covered just fine.
