I admit, I had to skip a few parts:
1. Okoye, whom I was hyper-critical of in the preseason and early in the regular season was AWESOME today. He played in the backfield, held his ground and made plays in against the run and pass.
2. I don't ever want to see Fred Bennett on the field as a Texan again! Rewatch the Jones punt return with 13 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. Jones would've strolled in for a TD if Bennett had attempted to block Campbell. Instead, he just casually strolls right in front of him and moves out of his way and allows Campbell the angle to make the tackle. It was blatant laziness and cowardness. Rewatch it!! I can't do it justice.
3. Duane Brown was dominate again! It's too bad we were so determined to punch it inside or to the right because he owned the edge today.
4. It's very good to have Reeves back. He had good coverage all day. Made some nice plays as well. With the emergence of Quin and Pollard, and especially the Bennett benching, we're getting pretty decent in the secondary.
5. The defense has developed an attitude. Cushing, Quin, and Pollard have really added some nastiness back there. These guys hit now!!
6. Of the 35 completions, a vast majority of them were hooks and comebacks. For some reason, there were very few passes completed to players running routes upfield. Anyone know why? No posts, slants, seams, crosses, etc...
7. I really miss Chester Pitts!!
8. Schaub missed a lot of throws today. He completed 70% for almost 400 yards. So, I'm not sure if my standards/expectations are too high or what.. but I can think of at least 5 passes he had time to throw and just blew it. And, they were important situations too.
9. Kubiak has no clue how to manage the clock. calling a timeout on 1st and goal with 1:27 left in the game proves that.
10. Watching football is supposed to be entertaining. However, I've been a freakin' nervous wreck! I can only enjoy the blowouts. I think I've totally lost perspective and my priorities are clearly out of order!
