HOUSTON (Nov. 19, 2006) -- Houston quarterback David Carr tied an NFL record with 22 consecutive completions on the same field where Mark Brunell set the record earlier this season.

Carr completed 22 straight against Buffalo before throwing incomplete to Andre Johnson with 5:44 left in the game.

Brunell completed 22 in a row in Washington's 31-15 win over the Texans at Reliant Stadium on Sept. 24. The previous record was 21 straight completions by Rich Gannon for Oakland in 2002.

Carr tied Brunell's record on a short pass to Wali Lundy for no gain with 6:19 left.

Carr's first pass of the game was intercepted by Buffalo's Nate Clements. He was 1-for-3 against Buffalo, then began the streak with a 14-yard completion to Eric Moulds in the first quarter.

just want to say congrats.

on a side note
(please please try to keep this thread positive nad leave the bashing on the other threads)
I know we are all venting and I am sure David would trade his record for a "W"
Nothing wrong with critiquing his play but sometimes people forget that friends and family of players come on the website to read stuff and it gets kinda old hearing the same thing of "this person suc** "

CONGRATS, DAVID!!!! We were all pulling for you! 22 straight completions is nothing to scoff at!!
 
yes, a record, sweet.....just what we needed.....fantastic......i feel better already......i wonder what record he will break next week....
 
You sarcastic jackholes need to be beat around the head and shoulders with a sack full of doorknobs until you:

A) Lose your ability to speak or type
B) Die


Congrats to David on a good game.. shame that it turned out like it did.
 
please... PocketAces.. just.. go read a book or something. Your stupidity is seeping through my monitor.
 
Ya know the bills were pinned how many times inside the 10 and fans want to point out one mistake there, Carr does what the coaches asked him to do and it is his fault. It would be nice just once in a while you say he did what a good job, he did what the play calling was for.

I do not mind complaining but jeez I hate whinning.

You need to chill. Congrats on the Record David.
 
Thanks grid..

geeze people get a grip and somehow can't leave the sarcasm on the 15 other threads that merge about Carr and him playing horribly

Carr does something good and y'all can't even be happy for the guy. yes, I think the loss stinks and wish we would have won, I don't know about y'all but I really hated the feeling of Brunnell doing that to us. I remember yelling at the defense to stop Brunell.
It was nice for once to be on the receiving end of a postitive record than consistantly having QB's setting records against us.

Yes, I wanted a "W" as much as the rest of y'all but this hatred is honestly ridiculous. Anytime Carr does something good it is the ole "His receivers are making him good, or the OL is making him look good". Carr isn't perfect,but he has improved.

yes, stats don't win games, and I would be first to say bench Carr if he was stinking it up on the football field and put sage in,but the problem is that Carr isn't the weakest link on this team and it is a hard pill to swallow isn't it?
 
He completed 22 passes in a row, so what? Brunell did the same thing earlier in the year and he's holding a clipboard now. Stuff like that doesn't mean jack squat if you can't put points on the board, which the offense failed to do the entire 2nd half. I also remember several of those completions going for negative yardage. But he tied a record, so yay!
 
Carr played a terrific game today. Carr haters need to wait another week.

He forced three balls into AJ and one got picked. He threw one ball behind AJ after he completed 22 straight.

The jump balls to AJ are not completely Carr's fault either. Carr throwing up fades to AJ has LONG been a staple in Houston. When AJ makes a play, people say that you are giving the athlete a chance to make a play and outjump the corner, when he doesn't it is Carr making a bad decision.

When you have ONE wide receiver on the field and sometimes two, it really cuts down on your ability to throw the ball down the field. When you tell your QB to take three steps and sling it up there to AJ, that isn't exactly the stuff of outstanding NFL offensive coordinating in my eyes. It is garbage.

It is garbage to have Jamel Cook on the field when it is 3rd and 15.

Plenty of other places to place blame today. It ain't Carr.
 
The consecutive completions record means very little to me, because we lost this game in the worst possible way...we shot ourselves in the foot and found a way to snatch defeat from certain victory.

This one hurts. A lot. We need to learn how to finish a team off.

Still, congrats to Carr for his accuracy mark. Heck, he's always been an accurate passer short-to mid-range. Even Carr Haters know that. Too bad his record didn't come wrapped in a win. Then it might have some real meaning for me.
 
Even in Carr's record breaking performance we still wind up on the short end of the stick. Is anyone surprised that Carr could attain this record? I certainly am not.

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but Carr has not thrown a TD pass in four consecutive games. Baby steps, one more year, get him more weapons....
 
Its funny , the two biggest throws for Carr were # 23 and the slant for a first down ... both of those were poorly thrown balls .

The record shows that efficient QB play alone is not effective. Carr played a better game last week when he barely completed half of his passes, but made key throws, nice runs and displayed a general toughness.

As for the no TDs in 4 weeks, I thought it was two weeks and felt disappointed. 4 weeks is pathetic.

Totally agree with the first point and on the second point, Carr has never been able to produce TD's with any consistency in 5 years. Doesn't look like it will happen going forward either. If you aren't the first option or the dump pass you get lost in this offense with Carr running it. It's been that way since day 1 here. He still has very poor field vision and awareness...that's a major reason he struggles with 3rd downs and clutch passing downs. Hitch passes can move the ball between the 20's and drive the stats up, but he doesn't make enough big plays to win in the NFL. Even when he throws deep they are generally jump balls...heck, the very nature of a "jump ball" is that it's anyone's ball...then people start blaming AJ when he doesn't get 100% of those. Unreal stuff. Our passing attack is really pathetic and there is one constant all these years. A half a decade is a long time to struggle trying to pass the ball.

Oh gawd. I sat through the game and didn't ever once say WOW that David Carr is tearing it up. I did say @#%#%^#%@# why can't that SOB throw it downfield. He sucks.

Ever consider that it wouldn't be a jump ball if our "all pro" wide receiver could somehow find a way to get open. I'd settle if AJ could get 50% of them.

Half a decade is also a long time to learn how to run routes, beat the db off of line. AJ looked good when compared to the other receivers we have had here the past few years, he pales badly when compared to the top receivers on other teams.

I dislike the personality of TO, but he finds ways to get open, and he wins the battle for the ball against the dbs.

C Johnson finds ways to get open.

With Andre its usually a jump ball situation because AJ fails to get any separation.

Spin it any way you wish, but Carr is not our biggest problem.

Not a team in the league would take Carr over Andre Johnson if they were in the same draft right now. The only people who think that AJ is the problem on this team are the Carr myopians.

You should really check out some other teams play man....

Carr puts a lot of air under his balls when he throws deep...That's what causes the jump balls...

Look at how some other QB's throw it deep but place it on the correct shoulder or hit a reciever in stride....

How much seperation do you expect guys to get in the NFL ?

While Johnson is not in the "totally take over the game" class of TO, CHad, or Steve Smith, he is in the next level of clear number 1 WRs in the league and would be the best WR on more teams than not.

As for Carr, it will be a nice day on this board when you can judge him for what he does on the field and how that compares to what other QBs in the league do.
 
Congrats to David Carr on a worthless record that was poorly earned and ill deserved. I have been supportive of Carr this year but have had enough of the bs excuses. I have had enough of his act and its time to ship his arse off.

About 7 of the completions were for negative yardage. Great work Carr :sarcasm:. Maybe Carr can throw 23 completions in a row for negative yardage and then the record can be his solely. I am sure Carr will put that on his mantle next to all the other worthless accolades he has. And dont give me the bs excuse that he can only run what the coaches call. I personally feel he was playing with the record in mind and was throwing short to keep it going and that hurt the team. I have just had it with him. I have been supportive and I have seen a modicum of progess, but I am done. He needs to go.

I have been very nice to Carr all year but the more I watch and the more I think about the big picture, the more I realize that this guy just struggles to win football games and has little to no leadership ability. How many games has he won for us in almost 5 years of football? One? Two? None? He just sucks imho.

Carr has improved greatly. I even think Carr has started to focus more on his job as QB and realize that football has to be #1 in his life when you are a franchise QB. That is something that any franchise QB has to do. THe 'aww shucks' act is so freaking tired though, and he needs to go. I just think its too little too late. Carr has bought into Kubiak's system and has worked hard. However, he will never be a championship QB so why are we trying to turn water into wine? It's not gonna work. Let's cut our losses and have some true competition at QB for the first time in the Texans' franchise history.

Let's just trade him at the end of the season and have a real quarterback competition at our next training camp. I think we may be surprised how well it works out. I am just sick of the excuses, sick of the meaningless worthless stats, and am sick of Carr in general. His game is fundamentally flawed and that guy will never win anything. Why are we sticking with him if they guy isn't good enough to win games much less big games.

Here here. It's the emperor's clothing or 5 million dollar bonus that keeps his sorry butt starting. No way he outplays the backup. Nothing that has happened on the field this year leads me to believe otherwise. And I have seen every snap since the first snap against KC in preseason.

Today's fans have no idea of what the word "team" means.

If anybody else gets a record on this team, it's "Good job" all the way around by all of us.

But Carr gets a record, and he's cussed for it.

Amazing.

I think (very strongly, by the way) that a person's inability to at least celebrate a guy's personal accomplishment on the field (as we're seeing from a lot of you) is poor taste.

Everyone is stoked about AJ being at the top of the stats in the NFL.

Everyoneis stoked about Demeco possibly getting DROY.

But Carr? Ahh, that's nuthin'! He stinks. "Brunell did it, too. Big deal."

It is a big deal.

It's a big deal because he did his damn job and got recognized for it, but he's still the same old stinky David Carr?

Give me a break.

You guys hate him. Period.

Has nothing to do with his skills on the field. You just hate H-I-M.

Nice. I'd like to hang out with ya'll on a Saturday at 3 a.m. in an alley somewhere, waiting to shank someone for a few bucks or a wristwatch.

Can't you at least be happy that a member of OUR team did something relevant for a change?

I mean, is it too much to say "Hey, we lost...and that stinks, but great job on tying a record. Good job, bro."

Nope. The hate is too large.

I would say it's something different for everybody.

Some probably are jealous of his looks, his following amongst the ladies.

Some are unhappy that he's making mad jack while they are not.

Some are UT fans and felt that Vince is the messiah.

Some are at odds with his supposed Christian beliefs. His family does have a long line of pastors and religiously solid individuals. He's a family man first, too.

Some think that the whole team's wins and losses are on the QB's shoulders.

Some think that he doesn't have "it," yet I've seen him make some memorable plays all on his own. Plays that I still can see in my mind. Cannot really say that about Charlie Frye or Tim Couch. Etc.

If it's the latter, I can be cool with that. But the people who hate him just to hate him for stupid reasons, I really do not understand it. I guess I've never been able to actually hate a person that much...well, maybe Saddam...that's one guy I'd say I hate in every way.

I dislike that Cook and Stanley are still on this team. I know they'll still have a place in the NFL if they're not here. But I don't hate them enough to act as if they are the worst player EVER as some have suggested David is.

Ask yourself this: What other available QB could do better with THIS team RIGHT NOW? Hmmmmmmm....I thought so.
 
Part of it could be envy, but I think it has more to do with losing than anything else.

Losing is a negative experience and breeds negative emotions. Being a football fan is a passion, which is a deep emotional bond with a team. And since we've been losing with this franchise for five years now (and not even a winning record to fondly reflect upon), I'd expect hatred to be one of the emotions that comes bubbling up. The QB position is always a focus, in good times and in bad. Win games and they love you, lose them and it's hatred.

I don't advise it, and I've avoided letting myself get too emotional about sports (even since one fateful day in Buffalo). I'll always support the Texans through good, bad, and ugly, and I'll always go to the games, but I won't let losing bring me down. I just wish everyone had the same attitude, but it takes all kinds.

Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser . This franchise had a tiger by the tale , great fans , high picks , a huge homefield advantage , its gone in five years and theres only one main component left .

Carr is the face of the franchise ... he gets some blame . All the excuses about him being rich and pretty and their girlfirends likes him is weak . 99% just care about football .

Why do you think he's cute ?

I think many of you are overlooking one important thing here -- Carr didn't come out and say anything about the completion record. He certainly never used it to defend a loss. The only thing I heard him say about it was he'd trade it for a win in a heartbeat. Many of you are attributing this attitude to Carr as if he just wants records. I seriously doubt anyone was counting completions at the time. As for the argument that the 23rd attempt was just there to break the record - why the hell wouldn't he just throw a dump-off for a guaranteed completion, if that was the case?

The Texans were trying to win a ball game on Sunday. Somewhere along the way, the QB completed 22 straight passes. Yay. We didn't get a win, so no one really cares about the record except for the pundits and the Carr haters. I'm sure Carr could care less, the team could care less, and most of us fans could probably care less.

CARR'S STREAK OF 22

David Carr tied Mark Brunell's NFL record for consecutive completions in a game. How the streak unfolded:

FIRST QUARTER
No. 1: To Eric Moulds for 14 yards
No. 2: To Andre Johnson for 20 yards
No. 3: To Eric Moulds for 17 yards

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECOND QUARTER
No. 4: To Jameel Cook for 4 yards
No. 5: To Samkon Gado for minus-1
No. 6: To Eric Moulds for 11 yards
No. 7: To Mark Bruener for 3 yards
No. 8: To Samkon Gado for 19 yards
No. 9: To Andre Johnson for 12 yards
No. 10: To A. Johnson for 19 yards
No. 11: To A. Johnson for 5 yards
No. 12: To Wali Lundy for 4 yards
No. 13: To Eric Moulds for 22 yards
No. 14: To Owen Daniels for 10 yards
No. 15: To Jameel Cook for 6 yards

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THIRD QUARTER
No. 16: To A. Johnson for 25 yards
No. 17: To Wali Lundy for 5 yards
No. 18: To Samkon Gado for 4 yards
No. 19: To Eric Moulds for 4 yards

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FOURTH QUARTER
No. 20: To Samkon Gado for 4 yards
No. 21: To A. Johnson for minus-5
No. 22: To Wali Lundy for no gain

It seems to me that about half of his passes were for more than at least 10 yds, yet he is still the "king of dink and dump". I guess people just choose to see what they want and ignore the rest.:twocents:
