There needs to be an undo button that makes things not true...

I say we cut off Schaub's leg with the injured foot and replace it with one of those prosthetic ones that the guys from the Special Olympics wear. I would take that over Leinart.

From the front page of NFL.com:

Kubiak said Schaub suffered the injury when his foot got caught in a pileup on a first-half quarterback sneak coming out of the Texans' end zone. Schaub did not exit the game, however, both of his touchdown passes came in the first half as the Texans relied on their running game over the final two quarters.

I hated that freakin' series and that call when it happened, and I really freakin' hate it now. When it started, I said "OK, over a minute and a half left; let's do a 2-min drill and get a TD". So hand off, sneak, handoff. Yeah. The only real blemish on an otherwise great game, and now we find out it's a really bad blemish.

**** you, Kubiak.

How long is Lienart signed for?

You are talking about the Texans medical staff.

They were on the half yard line, got lucky to not get tackled for a safety, and were up only 6-0. How could you argue with that call?! This is the NFL. Injuries happen. Dumb luck. Not Kubiak's fault for an injury.

They're saying Matt broke his foot at the end of the 2nd Qtr... he played the second half with a broken foot.

Christ, I hope not.

A Lisfranc (midfoot) injury is a significant injury that often has a prolonged recovery time. Fracture of the midfoot bones and/or disruption of the midfoot ligaments (Figure 1) leads to pain, swelling, and often an inability to weight-bear. During normal standing and walking the ligaments of the midfoot are subject to forces that are 2-3 times body weight. These ligaments and bones must heal before normal walking can occur and this often takes a number of months.

a little good news
Kubiak: Danieal Manning is making great progress and should contribute before season is over.

I see that now.


So here's the series from ESPN:

Houston Texans at 1:39 HOU TAM
1st and 10 at HOU 5 A.Foster left guard to HST 8 for 3 yards (A.Haynesworth). PENALTY on HST-C.Myers, Offensive Holding, 2 yards, enforced at HST 5 - No Play.
1st and 12 at HOU 3 A.Foster right tackle to HST 1 for -2 yards (M.Bennett).
Timeout #2 by TB at 01:31.
2nd and 14 at HOU 1 M.Schaub up the middle to HST 2 for 1 yard (A.Haynesworth).
Timeout #3 by TB at 01:27.
3rd and 13 at HOU 2 A.Foster up the middle to HST 4 for 2 yards (A.Haynesworth, G.Hayes).

Looks like Haynesworth was the guy who did it...

[TexanSam]

For some reason I'm feeling optimistic about Leinart being the starter. Something tells me that he's not going to flop now that he's been given a 2nd chance as a starter. I actually think he's going to look good out there.

Doesn't hurt that he gets Andre Johnson back.

It says it can't bear weight....
Yet he played up until almost the end of the game.....
I'm confused.

They were not on the yard line when the drive began, and I thought it would have been a perfect time for a pass on 1st down.

[TheCD]

Even if Leinart pans out ok, I think we are missing the bigger problem:


Eric Winston is now our blindside tackle in pass protection.


To me that spells trouble more than anything else.










Troll/facepalm post of the day (hopefully century):


Anyone know if Carr is available....

wasn't it when Arian almost got stopped for a safety and he reached over the line? Next play Schaub ran a qb sneak?

Why would they even tempt fate considering the history between Schaub and Haynesworth... *sigh*

[DBCooper]

OMG this sucks.

If you could have picked the one player we couldn't afford to lose, Schaub was it.

[Wolf]

1st-10, HOU5 1:39 Houston committed 2 yard penalty
1st-12, HOU3 1:36 A. Foster rushed to the right for 2 yard loss
2nd-14, HOU1 1:31 M. Schaub rushed up the middle for 1 yard gain
3rd-13, HOU2 1:27 A. Foster rushed up the middle for 2 yard gain
4th-11, HOU4 0:28 B. Hartmann punt. P. Parker returned punt for 11 yards
