Some of you amaze me.

Let's not forget TJ was playing from behind the whole game. You have a rookie QB have to throw that many times to catch up, mistakes are bound to happen.

Texans will have a short week to forget this loss and move on to Indy....

Wasnt all on TJ.


Foster sat out a half basically, played like crap first half.
Defense gave up too many big plays
WR's dropped crap left and right
Kubiak settled for FG's

[ObsiWan]

Like I said in the gameday thread, I'm chalking this one up to being a victim of Upset Sunday...

We lose to the Panthers
the Skins upset the Giants
the Chiefs (the frikkin' CHIEFS?!) upset the Packers
the Colts upset the Titans (they won with Orlovsky?!)
the Seahawks upset the Bears...

this is definitely a trap game Sunday

...and don't look now but the Broncos are up over the Patriots...

[Wolf]

I know the season isn't over ..heck we all know

however, I might have my expectations up too high....
well no I don't, we see what happens in the NFL when teams get relaxed (how many games in a row did the Texans lose last year?)

what concerns me is the turnovers and poor/sporadic play.. However I understand that we have excuses with injuries but .. this is the NFL.

we have lost the TO battle 3 weeks in a row .ugh

You're only as good as your last game. That is how getting exposed works. If he can get back on track- I'll take it. However, I'm not going to be blinded by homerism.

Its sucks we lost, and believe me I'm pissed. It will pass though. I am not that down, that I think we're done. I started doing laundry after the Williams TD. I had a feeling we might lose this one to begin with.

It was a sad effort by the team today, and having Wade out really showed. The D didn't look sharp at all. The fumble at the beginning of the game seemed to just deflate the Texans and the crowd as a whole. They need to get their ass in gear, and get ready to move past this, don't let it linger.

We'll regroup, and handle business against the Colts, we better or good lord **** would really hit the fan.

[Wolf]

I know every one was on a high about TJ..
hell I am too, however.. we all can agree the "next man up is taking it's toll" the kid is still learning.

the Texan offense hasn't been the same (understandable) we aren't the high powered offense that scares defenses.

Teams lose games. Green Bay lost. We are in great shape. Just got a little ugly today and it is tough to take. We have all seen some really bad losses over the years and we do have a right as fans to be critical. But I agree some doom and gloom does show up on this thread. Just an observation as a recent user of this site. For the most part this is a great fan base we have and a great forum I think.

Yeah it was a bad loss, but nothing to get that upset over. What worries me more is it being the one game Wade has been out. I hope that he doesn't miss another week and that he comes back with full spunk and strength. I'm sure he will, but we needed his presence today. A loss isn't that bad of a thing if we can bounce back and learn from it.

This team sucks!! 6-10 here we come and another year of "its all on me"

Post count definitely dictates how long we have been a member or lurking.

Good talk

Yep. Solid contribution to the board there.

[Lurvinator11]

I'm sorry but i am going to have to agree with some of the guys on here. Yates will not be the story book QB to lead us to a super bowl. He made way too many mistakes in this game. Interceptions, passes too low or too high. Carolina played a great game, but they were vulnerable and the Texans could not captilize. Even last week, Yates didn't play too well untill the last quarter which of course we all forgot about cause he won the game for us! I hate to say it, but Yates is not the man. Yet. Hopefully we can get a couple of victories in the playoffs. But I just have a bad feeling now. ( I hope it's just gas and not a legit feeling)

Personally, what annoys me about this game the most is they came out expecting to lay it to the panthers just because they clinched the division. It seems as though they felt that they were 'that good' because they were guaranteed to be in the playoffs.

Fact is, they were embarrassed today. Does that mean we have no chance in the playoffs? No. But if they play like that they will get humiliated in the postseason. I can only speak for myself, but my problem with today's loss is that the team seemed to buy into their own hype. Hopefully they are absolutely ashamed of this loss and won't let it happen again.

I think the concerning thing though is that we really should have lost the last two weeks. I'm not saying that other teams don't get lucky or pull wins out like we have, but we could just as easily be 8-6 with how we have played. I am hoping we can pick it up and play sharper in the next couple of weeks because we are playing some teams that quite possibly could give them some false confidence. Something they have shown they are very susceptible against.

To his credit, this board does tend to be pretty negative a lot of the time. I was a regular on here for years before I joined the Army, and it wasn't until that time that I realized the pessimism.

Easily?

...Gale Sayers broke the news to the team, and they dedicated the game to Piccolo. In typical '69 Bears fashion, they lost 24-21. Piccolo chided his teammates as they visited him in Masonic after the game. "Leave it to them", he thought, "to dedicate the game to him and lose."
