Ok who do you guys blame for the loss of this game.You can blame Carr a lil i guess but not alo becuase he made some nice running plays in the first half and only threw the ball 9 times and yuo have to throw the ball alot more if you want to win.You cant really blame the line because as bad as they are this was there best game of the year.So who to blame well i blame the coaches bad playcalling not enough passes and after all those running plays they didnt use the playaction pass to the fullest so thats who i blame who do you????
 
I blame the fans.

All you $%#@! fair-weather fans are making me sick!

Oh, sorry...I've been on the receiving end of that kind of comment so much that I think I am buying into it.

In short: The answer is as plain as the fly buzzing in and out of Capers mouth.
 
Do you think we need a new QB i sure as hell dont.He didnt play that great today but he doesnt exactly have the most weapons in the world to use and if they get the oline better for next year i see superbowl contenders and an Mvp candaite at QB

McNair should fire himself. He's known that they've had a problem protecting the QB since year 1, that the coach is a joke. He's done nothing. Everyone is laughing at him, not the team.

Everyone I know is laughing at the team :embarrass
 
Lets go with:

Coaching
Pass Blocking
Injuries

All things considered, I think the D played very well. The final score may not show it, but they put pressure on Manning and caused turnovers. If we only had an offense that could give our D a break, things would be pretty good right about.

On a side note, will we finally stop hearing all this bring back JJ, Swinton, and every other KR/WR we have ever had?
 
Maybe instead of finding someone to blame, which I'm sure the team is doing, we should being fixing whats gone wrong...Oh wait, everything seems to go wrong. Just ride it out. It'll all be over soon
 
I lay this right at the feet of Bob Mcnair. He hired the people who have failed him, and ultiumately, he is responsible. The buck stops here. :texans:
 
JEROME MATHIS! He should have scored on every return. ONLY JOKING! This guy is good and once he gets 100% healthy we'll have no need for Bradford. Who is to blame: Coaching, the scheme, Carr, defense, o-line; take your pick.
 
bigTEXan8 said:
Please...our D is to blame as much as coaching, o-line, Carr. Thank bloody hell for Mathis though.

Yeah they did so terrible. :ok: Finally caused turnovers. Kept the team in game until they ran out gas, thanks to being on the field all day. Whatever. You can be down on the team as a whole, I am not. I think the D played well.

they might not be on the field all day if they freaking stop someone. wasnt that a 14 play drive to open the second half.
 
The D is not in as bad shape as the offense. Do they need help, or course. With a new scheme and the "right" free agents, it can be corrected quickly.

The offense though is no better, and in fact worse than the night we snapped the ball against Dallas. It is imperative that we give Carr a few games off, not making it sound as a benching but more to protect his future if we are in fact going to keep him. Free agent and decent draft choices would be a start, along with a new coaching staff.

Dude, take the homer glasses off. This defense is terrible. Simply awful. I will give them a D+ because of the turnovers. If it wasn't for that, it would be an F. They made some progress today in the turnover area, and put at least some pressure on Manning, but to say they played well tells me you either a) no nothing about football or b) or a serious homer with nothing but homer takes and no real insight.
 
Well guess what...They're the best we have. Better then the O and, so far, better then special teams. I dont understand, if you guys dispise the team so much, change the channel and stop posting. Like all your crying about everything being so bad is going to do anything? Would you prefer no team at all? This use to be a good fan MB, turned into a bunch of trolls. I'm through with you "fans".

I said they played well, not the second coming of the Steel Curtain. Ask yourself this, is this the best game the D has played? Did the improve over last week? Atleast somewhat?

Who said we despise the team? If you equate loving the team with putting up with the BS we are seeing on the field, and in the FO, you are just plain wrong. Calling it like you see it has nothing to do with whether I love the team or not. Don't question my loyalty. I lived through the 81-84 Oilers, and listened or watched every minute of it. Did you?

the team did good today we showed some improvement. we were in the game for 2 and 1/2 quarters. does this bs make me a better fan. everyone still on this mb is a pretty loyal fan. we are just frustrated and we are not gonna say the team is playing well when they are not. if telling the truth makes us not fans then, oh well.

They gave up 38 points today. I guess a case could be made based on the two turnovers, but to say the D played well after giving up 38 points is laughable, and just shows how low we have sunk. Giving up 38 points now qualifies as "good" on this team.

Mark,

I'm not saying that the D is good, but they can be turned around much quicker than the O.

As far as how they played, it does begin to transcend somewhat to how horrible the O plays.

Correction 31, the other 7 they did not give up. 14 in the first half, when the O played well. So lets see, O plays well the D looks average. O doesnt move the ball the 2nd half, and the D looks terrible. And I'm the wacko?

im not sure i agree. i think with a couple of lineman and aj back the offense might be alright next year(all depends on carr). but the defense is in worse shape. we need a corner 3 linebackers and maybe another lineman. plus im not sure coleman shouldnt be replaced.

The last time I checked, the defenses job is to stop the other team from scoring. Maybe there is some new definition of excellence you could enlighten us with.
 
While we're defining our team, whats our O suppose to do? They're the main problem, not the D.

Telling stat of the game, TOP:

Good points.

What it will come down to is what is really available not only in free agency, but the draft. It may come down to us trading that 1st or 2nd pick to get some needed skilled players.
 
overall, the D wasn't that bad. It seemed like they gave up in the 4th. To me it was like they were thinking "If our QB isn't going to give us a chance to win, why should we try?" IMHO, Carr is the biggest reason we lost today. The offensive line gave him plenty of time. Carr made some good runs, but when he dropped back to pass, he was the main reason for the sacks and fumbles. I can't stand Tony Banks, but at least Banks will get rid of the ball instead of taking all the sacks. Carr had a decent stretch in the 2nd QTR, but it was mostly that he didn't make too many mistakes instead of doing anything good. It's pretty sad when I am sitting down at the sports bar, and people walking by are asking me "Why didn't he throw the ball or at least throw it away?" and all I could say was "I really don't know". It's also pretty sad that they have stopped laughing at me for being a Texans fan. Now they are just sorry for me.
 
The defense didn't force one punt today. Yes we got the turnovers, but no punts is pathetic. No it's not all on the defense but they still didn't play well today.

Everyones frustrated for sure - but please take off the rose colored glasses on if your trying to spin the Defense as being better than the Offense this week.

Honestly - I have to diagree entirely about improvement from last week - They made very little improvement at all from last weeks game against Seattle - and the offense made some good improvements this week keeping us in the game unti lthe second half before being shut-down by one of the best defenses in the league right now.

How about Stats? -

What was last weeks score - 42-10 - and then what was this weeks score - hmmm 38-20

I'm going to go with the over under here and say the Offense improved a hell of alot more than the defense did since the Offense "Doubled" their Point total. Yet the defense couldnt stop the Colts from scoring just 4 points less than Seattle did last week and you think they did Well??

Boggle?? :confused:

T.O.P> is the key? - how about stopping somebody on a drive?

TD Edgerrin James, 9 Yd run (Mike Vanderjagt kick is good), 11:18. Drive: 7 plays, 77 yards in 3:42. Avg - 10yds per play
FG Mike Vanderjagt 36 Yd, 0:17. Drive: 16 plays, 66 yards in 7:26. - avg 4.125 per play
4TH QUARTER
TD Marvin Harrison, 7 Yd pass from Peyton Manning (Mike Vanderjagt kick is good), 11:38. Drive: 4 plays, 50 yards in 1:44. Avg - 12.5 yds per play
TD Montae Reagor, 37 Yd fumble return (Mike Vanderjagt kick is good), 8:07.

So looking at the stats alone - The colts had the ball almost the entire 3rd quarter - kind of hard to Score without the ball - The 4th we scored 6 more on special teams-

How about our Defense?

Basically the colts scored on almost every drive in the second half. Thats nothing to do with the Offense which got shutout by one of the best Defenses in the league in the second half when they shut down our ONLY 2 viable options left to score with on the team. Granted Carr made some errors today - but he did some really good things too when we got time and the players caught balls or it wasnt a bad exchange.

How about the defense shutting down the Colts Offense inthe second half?I'm thinking maybe they wouldnt be tired by the 4th quarter if they covered and tackled better. Gave the offense more opportunities to score again with field position thats somewhere close to midfield instead of having to start drives in our redzone most of the time.
 
If the O could have moved the ball at all the 2nd half, the D might not have given up 17 2nd half points. We had the ball for just 9 whole minutes the second half, Indy had the ball just over 20 minutes. In comparision, we held the ball just under 11 minutes in the second quarter.

If we're talking about O vs D lets get the points right; D gave up 31, O scored 14.

BTW - Getting my stats from NFL.com
 
the offense had the ball basically one series in the 3rd quarter. they went 3 and out. the defense let ind control the whole 3rd quarter without giving the ball back to our offense. once we got it at the end of the third game was over. this offense cant do anything if we dont have a run threat.

I allready covered this man - There playing one of the best defense in the league and they brought the heat in the second half

- Versus or defense which didnt show up at all - Letting the Colts avg over 10 yds per play and hold the ball almost the entire 3rd quarter - Yet its our O who is the problem - What are you smoking man?? Thats frigging pathetic by any standard.

D only gave up 31??? - how do you figure they did much better??

Fumble recovery is the offenses fault? - Those thigns happen because of good plays not just bad execution on the O man. Lets see you try to hang on to the ball when a helmet hits it - It aint gonna happen.

How about having only 13 rushing yds in the second half? We did not take advantage of our success rushing in the first half, yet again, no deep throws the whole game! we just keep doing the same thing over and over, eventually defenses learn how to stop us! The D did ok in the first half, but giving up so many 3rd conversions (Indy did not punt all day) and our "O" not doing anything in the seconf half cought up to us. The entire philosophy this team is based on is wrong considering the personel. We have to find ways of disrupting the other teams offense through pressure on the QB AND the WR (Harrison TD pass was comically easy). Also, it seems we are so limited in our "Offense" that we can only have a couple of good drives... we have to be less conservative and open up the playbook. We are 0-6, its not like we have anything to loose... lets go for it and stop being such a boring team.. if you can run the ball like we did in the first half, than use that and build off of it through play action... :brickwall

So you are saying that its the defense fault for Carr fumbleing and Indy socring a TD? While they were responsible for a lot of things that went wrong today, no sane man would say that is one of them... :confused:

Neer mentioned Carr's name - dunno where yo ugot that - Carr fumbled when he got sacked again - We got "ONE" offensive series in the 4th quarter - 3 Sacks in a row. - Thats supposed to be CArr's fault too right? :ok:

IMO Kind of hard to blame a guy who took another 5 sacks for not holding onto the ball better the last time.
 
So you also see the whole 2 first down in the second half right? 2 HOU first downs vs 19 IND 1st downs?
Whats more probable, the d getting a turnover every possesion, or the o holding on to the ball? Every D is going to give up points, its not feasable for them not not, the O needs to show up. They ran well in the first half, what did they think was going to happen in the 2nd? If the O isnt going to do anything with the ball, run the play and game clock down and punt.

Everyone in the league knows we can not pass block, and are ok at running. For some magical reason we were able to run the ball in the first half, what did the coaching staff think would happen in the 2nd half? We would magically be able to pass and run? Stop our run game and the game is over.

Man your just spewing to spew - no sense discussing this anymore with you if you want to ignore the facts. Its hard to SCORE without the freaking ball man. We scored as many points as they did in the First half - Even score.

But The Second half though the Offense only got the ball "THREE FREAKING TIMES" Sheesh man - You wanna blame somebody - How about whos making the play calls on the staff oh thats right itsd the players not executing as "Dom" calls it. What a load of Crap.

Heres some STATS for this so we can end this debate once and for all

1st possesion of the third Qtr

Houston Texans at 11:10
1-10-HOU40 (11:10) D.Davis up the middle to HST 45 for 5 yards (G.Brackett, B.Sanders).
2-5-HOU45 (10:33) D.Davis left end to HST 48 for 3 yards (C.June).
3-2-HOU48 (9:50) D.Carr pass to J.Gaffney to IND 47 for 5 yards (M.Jackson). (1 yard after catch.)
1-10-IND47 (9:08) D.Davis right guard to IND 48 for -1 yards (C.June, D.Freeney).
2-11-IND48 (8:26) D.Carr pass incomplete to J.Mathis.
3-11-IND48 (8:20) (Shotgun) D.Carr right end pushed ob at IND 47 for 1 yard (R.Mathis).
4-10-IND47 (7:53) C.Stanley punts 30 yards to IND 17, Center-B.Pittman, fair catch by T.Walters. (Punt hang time 4.7 seconds.)

So we got 3 runs 1 complete pass and 1 inc and Carr being pushed OB on 3rd and long rather than taking a sack. Score is 21-14 at this point after Indy drove the ball 70+ yards on their first possesion. Not too bad playcalling - on offesne just didnt get a 1st down on the second series. Hoever the Defense didnt stop anybody.

2nd Possesion
Houston Texans at 00:09
1-10-HOU34 (:09) D.Carr sacked at HST 34 for 0 yards (D.Thornton).
Fourth Quarter
2-10-HOU34 (15:00) (Shotgun) D.Carr sacked at HST 21 for -13 yards (R.Brock). FUMBLES (R.Brock), recovered by HST-D.Davis at HST 20. D.Davis to HST 20 for no gain (R.Brock).
3-24-HOU20 (14:07) (Shotgun) D.Carr sacked at HST 15 for -5 yards (D.Freeney). FUMBLES (D.Freeney), recovered by HST-T.Wade at HST 15. T.Wade to HST 15 for no gain (R.Brock).
4-29-HOU15 (13:27) C.Stanley punts 44 yards to IND 41, Center-B.Pittman. T.Walters ran ob at 50 for 9 yards (L.Sanders).

3 Sacks and 2 fumbles - Our Great O-line Protection once again.So we got 1 series and 1-play with 9 secodns left on the clock for the entire Third Quarter and this is the offenses fault somehow? Yea maybe the O-lines fault and the coaches playcalling :confused: Score is now 31-14 and the Route is on - So where is the Defense once again?? Nowhere to be freaking found.

Last Possesion
Houston Texans at 11:31
1-10-HOU35 (11:31) D.Davis up the middle to HST 39 for 4 yards (R.Brock).
2-6-HOU39 (10:53) D.Davis left guard to HST 40 for 1 yard (G.Brackett).
3-5-HOU40 (10:12) (Shotgun) D.Carr pass to D.Davis to HST 47 for 7 yards (M.Doss, C.June). (4 yards after catch.)
1-10-HOU47 (9:35) D.Carr pass to J.Gaffney to IND 49 for 4 yards (N.Harper). (No yards after catch.)
2-6-IND49 (9:00) D.Davis right guard to IND 48 for 1 yard (J.Thomas).
3-5-IND48 (8:18) (Shotgun) D.Carr sacked at HST 42 for -10 yards (R.Mathis). FUMBLES (R.Mathis), RECOVERED by IND-M.Reagor at HST 37. M.Reagor for 37 yards, TOUCHDOWN.

3 runs 2 complete passes and a sack for a fumble that got returned for a TD.

Yep that fumble by Carr at the end of the game when it was allready over sure made the difference in the Defense playign hard all day.

Yep The Offense officially sucks now [sarcasm] :brickwall - It's certainly not the Defenses fault for letting the Colts keep the ball a Majority of the second half of the game :brickwall

I'm off to go find something entertaining to do - GO ASTROS!! :tv:
 
In all fairness, the only part of the team that turned in a good performance was the Special Teams unit. They were able in a lot of cases to procure us good field position and a return for a touchdown. The offense played well(in the first half.) The defense played better in the 1st half than the 11 guys who showed up in the 2nd half and allowed Indy to do whatever they wanted. Face facts my fellow fans, there is a very obvious need to Overhaul everything but the special teams. The coaching is atrocious, Carr made a few bad decisions, WR's somtimes would not fight for the ball, or not seem to recall what their route was. The only players who deserve a game ball were Davis and Mathis.

3 Sacks and 2 fumbles - Our Great O-line Protection once again.So we got 1 series and 1-play with 9 secodns left on the clock for the entire Third Quarter and this is the offenses fault somehow? Yea maybe the O-lines fault and the coaches playcalling :confused: Score is now 31-14 and the Route is on - So where is the Defense once again?? Nowhere to be freaking found.

3 runs 2 complete passes and a sack for a fumble that got returned for a TD.

Yep that fumble by Carr at the end of the game when it was allready over sure made the difference in the Defense playign hard all day.

Yep The Offense officially sucks now [sarcasm] :brickwall - It's certainly not the Defenses fault for letting the Colts keep the ball a Majority of the second half of the game :brickwall

I'm off to go find something entertaining to do - GO ASTROS!! :tv:

What I will say to that is Carr had plenty of time to throw the ball away or, heaven forbid, throw the ball to the WR when he was supposed to, but no, Carr held on to the ball until he was hit and fumbled the ball. We all know that the O-line is not the best, but they did well enough for Carr to either throw the ball to his WR or get rid of it if his receiver wasn't open. The sacks and fumbles were on Carr.
