To the Worst Team in Football

how did we just lose to the worst team in football? chad stanley sees the field only once, we hold LT to a below average game, and our offense finds 350 yards. yet we still lose. i'm aggrivated as any fan would/should be. we've been waiting for 8 months and we're greeted with 4 turnovers, 1 sack, no deep threats, and the only excitement seen on defense came from a rookie.

moses of course was great and put us in great position a few times and jabar gaffney came up big especially on 3rd down situations. robinson got screwed on a couple penalties, but that's to be expected sometimes. ugh, what a way to start the season :thumbdown .

Wouldnt have said this a couple of hours before, but the Chargers are going to suprise a couple of people this year. And to answer your question, they'd lose to a college team with 4 turnovers. Carr's decision making has GOT to improve soon.

BECAUSE YOU GUYS DONT WANT TO REALIZE THE FACTS THAT I SAID ALLL WEEK.


1. ANTONIO GATES IS THE BEST TE IN FOOTBALL.

2. LT IS THE BEST RB IN FOOTBALL AND WILL GASH YOU CERTAINLY.

3. OUR DEFENSE HAS BEEN CREATING TURNOVERS ALL PRE SEASON AND REALLY YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD 5 TURNOVERS AND 3 LESS POINTS.

4. BREES HAS LOOKED GREAT ALL PRE SEASON AND MADE THE THROWS HE NEEDED TO MAKE.

5. STEVE FOLEY WAS GOING TO BE AMPED UP TO PLAY YOU GUYS AND HE MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THE GAME.

6. WE JUST BEAT THE WORST TEAM IN FOOTBALL. WELL SECOND NINERS ARE PRETTY BAD. WE ARE THE SURPRISE TEAM THIS YEAR. WE DO HAVE WEAPONS. IF YOU PLAY US THINKING ALL WE HAVE IS L.T. THEN YOU WILL LOSE. PARKER GATES AND LT ALL MADE PLAYS AND I TOLD YOU THEY WOULD

7. WE WON THE GAME NEENER NEENER NEENER WE BEAT YOU GO BOLTS :headbang:

One Thing That Hasnt Really Been Mentioned Is The Penalties. Way Too Many On Both Sides It Was Jsut The Combination Of Penalties And Turnovers That Killed You. And I Knew That If We Handed The Ball To L.t. At The End He Would Pick U Pa First Down And End The Game Thats Why I Celebrated With 2 Min Left

I give you props for sticking it out this long and standing by your team but your losing alot of that respect by doing this. Gates is a product of the LT playaction. If that makes him the best TE than he is just that. We played terrible, you played DECENT at best. If it was played again things could be totally different. Take this win and continue to the next message board,

While Gates has certainly been a benificiary of LTs performance capabilities, IMO, what we saw today was Brown exposed as being unable to cover a TE with any sort of speed. I look for other teams to exploit it more as the season wears on.

all i saw was LT's reputation. the lb's were nowhere near gates on any catch he made which makes it obvious they were over adjusted to stopping LT. LT is good, but on a 4-12 team it should've been obvious that he can not single handedly carry a team to a championship. if other teams follow our lead and think LT is the only player on the field, even i could gain 100 yards receiving.

Well since the Chargers are not the worst team in football, the 49ers or Cardnals are. LT had over 100yrd rushing and you call that a below average game? Sure he didnt bust a huge run but he sure played at least average. and your offence had all those yards but couldnt finish in the redzone.

The Chargers were ready for this game and the Texans werent. The Chargers knew who to exploit (Robinson) and how to adjust (2nd quarter shut down of your recievers). The Chargers are going to be a surprise team this year, fi not a playoff team. Car made some errors, but one of his interceptions was a tip ball at the line the other was just good D. thats going to happen to QBs.

Who I thought lost you the game was Davis. His two fumbles were unexcuseable. That lost you the game. He is a good back with a good ability to break tackles but he needs to learn to hold onto the football, that will come with time, hes going to be a good one. All in all I saw your offence having massive potential. To bad potential was all they had today.

good game none the less had me nervous until the last Davis Fumble.

Good luck next week against a tough detroit team, hopefully you guys can gain some momentum for your streatch against the Raiders and Chiefs.

I don't know what a "below average" game for LT is but he made some tough yards today and that Gates guy is terrific.

Too many turnovers was the tale of this game. It'll kill you everytime.

I have no doubt the Coaching staff is going to be all over Davis this week about hanging on to the "Tater" - that is fixable.

:soapbox: The one that upset me was the absolutely *****ic play on teams - standing there taunting the punt returner and getting hit in the back of the head with the ball. That one was right up there with the worst plays I've ever seen! Coach needs to take that young man behind the wood shed and see if he can make him "smarter"! IMHO :rolleyes:

Look to the future Texans Fans! They are coming around and just need your continued support! :thumbup

dontcare ...

4.6 yards per carry is something many rb's would like to accomplish, but IMO LT is better than that against most teams. especially considering our starting nose tackle (you know, the most important guy in a 3-4 defense) was on the bench injured.

what you are right on is that the chargers adjusted and the texans did not. i dont know however how you see the chargers in the playoffs being they beat the texans in one of the worst games i've ever seen them play. how often do you plan on having a team struggling on defense also have you handed 4 turnovers?

he had more passes thrown to him than any receiver and got 40 yards in penalties negating most of his offence. combine that with zero blocking, and i dont see how you can argue greatness.

You guys can't give credit where credit is due. You prefer to give every excuse in the book for your loss rather than the fact that you just got beat by the better team. Our QB outplayed yours and had a 125 QB rating. Same for our RB. Heck even our receivers played better and that's with all the hype given to yours. If you don't want to give us any credit then I will just go along with you guys. Your team just flat out SUCKS then, it had nothing to do with our play. NO EXCUSES.

I think it was sometime in the 4th quarter. When did Drew Brees become a good QB? When the Chargers started calling plays for Antonio Gates. Un-freakin'-believable.

So how much longer will you grace us with your presence? Aren't the Jet fans in need of your tutelage?

In response to your earlier suggestion that the crowd wasn't loud, I can give you a 1st hand account that the crowd did their job. The blame goes to the Texan players & coaching staff. The Chargers did a better job of preparation and execution. Kudos to Marty, Drew, Antonio, and our old friend Steve Foley. They wanted this game more than the Texans did.

lol ax, nice!

bress, you didnt beat us so dont start patting yourself on the back just yet. we turned the ball over 4 times and you stopped us once, not exactly the starting point i'd look for. we lost this game by ourselves, we didnt get beat. we lost to an inferior team due to turnovers and poor execution, which is something that the texans have to deal with. congrats on getting 50+ yards on weak calls against a rookie cb, a td called without proper camera angles, and an average day from LT, i'm sure that will carry yall to the playoffs ... yeah.

I would have to agree with that right about now. This team has NO pass rush at all, AGAIN, and one of our starting CBs is a first year rookie. On top of that, Carr is not what I thought he'd be by now (not yet, anyway), although he did alright, and DD can't hold on to the football.

My take on this is that the Chargers were a little better than I thought, but the Texans were VERY dissappointing.

I hope that DD fumbling the ball is just one bad game, because that just KILLS our chances. As far as the defense not getting to the QB, I don't know if it's under-agressive play calling or lack of ability. I just know it has to change. Either it changes, or we "surprise" the league by NOT improving on our record this year. We'll be the surprise loser.

As far as Carr's interceptions go, they weren't that unacceptable. I think he should've known the touchdown attempt, as I will call it, would be intercepted and not thrown it. I also think he saw the DL in his way and tried to throw the freakin' ball right through his arms on that tipped pass that went straight up in the air. He's just not all that great yet. He played well, overall--just not great. When you pass, you take a chance on being picked, but an RB with the ball in his arms is supposed to be BALL CONTROL.

Bye the way, I don't think I've ever seen LT before. I knew he was good, because the hype is everywhere, but he was really great. I kept thinking that Barry Sanders couldn't be counted on to get at least 4 yds. as much as this guy can, and frankly San D. scored twice the points I thought they would, even though LT had fewer yds. than I thought he would (I thought he'd break long ones, but that's not necessary when you get positive yardage every time you carry it). I still think we're better on paper.

If Gates is the product of the LT playaction what is Tony Gonzalaz to Priest Holmes??? Does that make T.G. an average player?? and scooter:Please learn what average RB's carry in a game before sounding foolish.LT had a low rush for "his standards" but busted over a hundred yards by himself against the texans and for you to call us the worst team in football doesn't say much for the texans since they lost to us!! and even that kinda offends me because I like the texans.It doesn't pay to down another team" justmakes that person sound ignorant".

boltz, for being considered one of the best football players in the nfl, being held to 4.6 ypc is average. especially considering davis had 157 yards of total offense compared to LT's 117.

EXACTLY, these guys are acting like they just walked over and handed us the ball four times. It was our defensive pressure that caused most of those turnovers. Both Wade and Marty empahasize creating turnovers to their defenses. More so than most coaches. If you look at Marty's defenses during his tenure in KC and look at their +/- turnover ratio you will see what I am talking about.

I will keep saying it over and over the defense caused us to loose this game. Sounds funny, but our offense simply has to keep scoring to make up for the defense's inability to stop anyone. It puts too much pressure on them and then the mistakes happen. I believe DD's last fumble is simply from trying to hard to make those extra yards when we had to have a TD. That's the way its going to be all season unless they find a way to pressure the other QB. The reason the second halfs are so bad is we are always trying to catch up and the defense is getting real tired and the other team begins to have their way in the trenches. Last years's injuries are still a big factor affecting the Texans. It looks like its going to take at least another year to recover from last year's devasting injuries.

Ya know Barry Sanders was a GREAT running back ,,,,but he never made it to the playoffs in his 12 year career. That will be like L.T he is good but the team as a whole sucks.

Did the Chargers really cause the DD fumbles? Did they really make the play necessary to cause the fumbles? I mean, the one where DD fumbled after the catch and juked like 3 dudes, he was holding on with both hands and it looked to me as if the ball just fell out of his hands. I mean I give credit to the Chargers, they took advantage of the opportunities given to them and we didn't. There is no excuse for us to go all the way down to the two yard line on our second possession, take more than 5:30 minutes on that drive only to come away with a FG because we threw it to a guy that has not played since two seasons ago (Jarrod Baxter).

The second INT was some pretty damn good luck. I mentioned to many people early this week that Brees is not a bad QB at all. I have seen him play since he was in High School and the dude just knows how to win. Two years ago, this guy was on pace to lead this team into the playoffs before a complete collapse in the second half. (Yes, complete collapse Charger fans) you should know all to well to get too too happy over this game because next week I am sure you will not be as successful.

My point is. We made mistakes that can be corrected on offense. Our defense just needs to get a grip.
 
hey everyone... this is my first time posting on these message boards.
Just a couple of points..
J.J. moses... great runbacks... great field position.
David Carr... tipped balls.. happens... but everyone has to admit, every year he gets better and better...
Dominick Davis.. slashing runner.. found holes.. needs to hold on to the ball a little better while they are trying to punch it out.. and that's what they did today.. tried to punch it out, and succeeded many times..
Dunta Robinson... remember everyone.. ROOKIE... first nfl start.. two penalties back to back on him.. you know almost every team with a threat on that side will try to go after him this year.. sometimes he will win, sometimes they will..
Jason Babin.. great speed.. good wrap up tackles... impressive for his first start..

hope i made sense, and wasn't too crazy....

later..

Good game fellas.

It's the NFL and in the NFL any team can beat any other team on any given Sunday. Obviously the turnovers were crucial. You and 4 and we had none. 99% of the time that will win a football game.

I must admit I take exception to the worst team in football comment. We did have the first pick in the draft, by % points. There were 3 other teams that finished 4-12 and I believe the Texans only finished 1 game better.

I, as a fan of SD since 1978, am slighty biased. I do not feel we are the worst and have alot of young talent. The playoffs are not in our future this year but we will be better than people are giving us credit for.

Some other fan stated Gates is the best TE in football. That guy is smokin crack. Gates has an unlimited future if he continues to work hard.

I thought SD made the proper adjustments at halftime and with the turnovers that carried us to the victory. I believe we only gave up 3 points in the second half.

Anyways, good game and good luck throughout the year. I have always liked the Texans and became even more of a fan when you beat Dallas in your very first game. That rocked. :headbang:

Have a good season. :thumbup

I know exactly what he has and has not done.

He has not had a 1000 yard season. He has not had a 100 reception season. He has not made a Pro Bowl.

He is not equal to a Shannon Sharpe or a Tony Gonzalez. I believe he has the potential to be that good but he is not there yet.

I am not here to argue with you on another teams board. I stopped by to tell the Texan fans, good game.

You on the other hand have been talking smack, which I do not care for.

I agree with you about the respect thing.

I also don't care for people who make excuses.

DD didn't drop the ball. It was puched out by the Charger defenders. That is good defense.

That is life in the NFL. You don't get respect until you win consistently.

If the Patriots forced those fumbles the Texan fans would be talking about how great the Pats are and their ability to make plays.

The Chargers do it and it's luck.

Oh well, respect will come eventually.
