Houston Texans @ New England Patriots. 12/10. 7:30. **Official MNF GameDay Thread**

[GP]

I never got involved in those discussions. Absolutely ridiculous to think Schaubs belongs in conversations with the top tier QB's. which is exactly why I said before the draft that I would trade Schaubs and a lot of our draft to move up and take Griffin. Would of been a bold bold move but worth the risk to get what I considered a REAL elite QB. Imagine Griffin running this offense.

I remember you saying that.

And I remember saying I was in support of that idea too. You absolutely sell an entire draft if you can get a game-changing QB. Luck was not going to be had, so RGIII was the next best choice.

And it would have driven the VY fanboys MAD.

 

[DocBar]

Go for it!!!!!!!!

 

[hradhak]

Why not let Yates throw it some?
Pats are loading up the box. What do you have to lose.

 

[DocBar]

LMAO!!!! Welker fair catches with 20 yds clear running room!!!! Class call by him.

 

[Marcus]

I fell we will still sweep he colts

I wish I shared your optimism.

Schaub is not elite, but he really doesn't need to be. But Oliver Luck . . Just might be already.

 

[TexanSam]

I don't care how we respond against the Colts. I'd love to win, but this game is making it very obvious that we have some major flaws that may prevent us from achieving much in the playoffs.

 

[MEGA SWATT]

The Texans need to fly home, wash their panties and get ready for the colts.

 

[fiasco west]

It would have to be in Houston.

Well if it won't be then I'll be in a panic. I think they should win out here. Colts and Vikings are tough though, but they should win out.

 

[mariowillshine15]

I never thought the flaws would be on offense. What a horrible performance.

 

[Marcus]

They were out coached, out played and out hustled.

Disagree. The Patriots are just a better football team.

 

[GP]

I just want someone to rep me so I can get to 38,000 points.

It's all I have left to look forward to.

 

[MEGA SWATT]

Yes, we're now a great regular season team provided we're NOT playing a team with an elite QB like AR or TB - heck we probably lose to PM if we play now.

 

[dtran04]

Schaub was inaccurate, AJ couldn't beat single coverage, and Arian looked slow.

About sums it up really.

 

[DocBar]

Yes, we're now a great regular season team provided we're NOT playing a team with an elite QB like AR or TB - heck we probably lose to PM if we play now.

Sounjds a lot like the Chargers the last few years.

 

[Showtime100]

Yeah, and I'm getting too old to assume I'll see a SB in my life time. Hell, my dad never did.

 

[GP]

Disagree. The Patriots are just a better football team.

Which happens by complete accident, too.

In fact, those players have had no help from maybe one of the best football minds in the history of the game. They win in spite of him.

 

[keyser]

INTERCEPTION!!!! Game's not over yet!





Oh wait, yes it is.

 

[mariowillshine15]

Yes, we're now a great regular season team provided we're NOT playing a team with an elite QB like AR or TB - heck we probably lose to PM if we play now.

The problem is the elite QB's always bring it. We don't know if Schaub will bring it.

 

[DocBar]

Great. Now we get a week of "Sheo should start" threads.

 

[theNumber80]

Schaub was inaccurate, AJ couldn't beat single coverage, and Arian looked slow.

About sums it up really.

AJ couldn't beat single coverage? He's the only one who showed up on offense.

 

[Marcus]

i just want someone to rep me so i can get to 38,000 points.

It's all i have left to look forward to.

lol! Msr.

 

[DocBar]

Schaub runs the offense well. He handles pressure like an old man with bladder problems.

 

[Chance_C]

Yeah... Throw the ball there

 

[Modest]

The Texans need to fly home, wash their panties and get ready for the colts.

Damn man, thats harsh.

 

[Showtime100]

I just want someone to rep me so I can get to 38,000 points.

It's all I have left to look forward to.

 

[Kthx]

Tate earned alot of respect tonight by the way hes running even after it doesn't matter. Lots of players could learn from him.

 

[hradhak]

WEll Posey actually got a catch. I didn't even know he was active.

 

[DocBar]

At least this last drive should shush all the "start Yates" BS. He looks like a rookie in his first game.
WOOHOO!!! 42-14...the tide is turning!!!!!!

 

[Rey]

We lost two games against the Packers and Patriots.

We beat the Broncos, Ravens, and Bears. All Good teams. In fact we smacked the Broncos and Ravens around, out toughed the Bears.

The broncos were just getting used to themselves. And we kind if barely won that game. Manning started having his way with us at the end.

Ravens? Seriously? You count that as a quality win?

They played like **** that game and that wasn't all the texans doing.

We beat the bears without curler. We didn't out tough anyone. Just because the game was sloppy and we came out the winner doesnt mean we out toughed them.

It means, thank goodness curler went out and we slopped our way to a win.

Even Sanchez looked funtional against us. We played like crap in that game.

 

[GP]

I still have us winning out.

I was never a fan of this matchup, not at this point in the reg season. Anybody who wasn't legitimately worried about this game when it was scheduled...uh, yeah.

We are better than the Colts and Vikings.

We're obviously a notch below the Patriots, and in the NFL you can sometimes come back and steal one back from that type of team the second time around. Especially if the game is in YOUR house and not theirs.

I watched this all the way to the end. No shame in being a Texans fan. There's a lot of fans who wish they were in our shoes getting our brains beat out by the Pats and still walking away with an 11-2 record after it's over.

And look, I am under no illusions here. Yeah, I am pissed off like all of you are. But honestly, there's three more games and we can beat those teams even despite what we saw tonight out of our guys.

 

[DocBar]

Go for the 2 point conversion!!!!

 

[Marcus]

Dang, Tate didn't pull anything again, did he?

 

[GP]

DocBar for the win.

 

[DocBar]

The problem is the elite QB's always bring it. We don't know if Schaub will bring it.

Schaub generally lacks the intangibles that "elite" QB's have. He's more likely to choke than not.

 

[MEGA SWATT]

Sad part is AJ is getting older and less effective, No depth behind him, AF hasn't had a homerun play in how long?, Kubiak is an idiot play caller, we have no guts, call no trick plays, have a major key injury yearly that affects our play

 

[Rey]

I think we lose to the vikings and split with the colts.

But i wouldn't be surprised if we lost all three actually.

Don't look past the colts. I can see them beating us. they really aren't a bad team.

 

[Mr. Texan]

what happened to the days when you could win a super bowl with trent dilpher or brad johnson

you pretty much need a HOF QB or a GOAT defense.

i guess balance is overrated

i'm still gonna enjoy this season.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

QB sneak in a worthless game.........don't I remember that.............

 

[mussop]

C'mon man seriously.

 

[Showtime100]

Time for the Chronicle to run a pic of a tombstone with the title "Choke City." It worked once in the past.

 

[nut]

the hoodie has been handling the defense & outcoached kubiak's offense

The Pats were the better team tonight. The Pats showed signs that they are not perfect. This game falls on our coaching staff. We still have a good shot at winning in the playoffs, we just have to show up.

 

[MEGA SWATT]

Just when everyone is ready to say the Texans are what their record is - A. R. and GB come and smack us down. We recover from Cushing being out and start winning again and enter T.B. and the Pats to beat us down just to remind us we are not jack sheet.

 

[DocBar]

Sad part is AJ is getting older and less effective, No depth behind him, AF hasn't had a homerun play in how long?, Kubiak is an idiot play caller, we have no guts, call no trick plays, have a major key injury yearly that affects our play

AJ has struggled against single coverage most of the year. He made big noise in a couple of games, but isn't what he was a few years ago.

 

[TheMatrix31]

At least this is a short week so we have a couple less days of stupidity on the board between now and Sunday morning.

 

[Lurvinator11]

After a performance like this, it is time to wash my jersey.

Hopefully, Won't have to wash it until after the Super bowl.

 

[fiasco west]

The broncos were just getting used to themselves. And we kind if barely won that game. Manning started having his way with us at the end.

Did we win the game or not?

Ravens? Seriously? You count that as a quality win?

They played like **** that game and that wasn't all the texans doing.

The Ravens were healthy then. They played like **** because we took it to them.

So when another team takes it to us and make us look bad, it's because we are bad but when we do it to them then it wasn't all our doing?

We beat the bears without curler. We didn't out tough anyone. Just because the game was sloppy and we came out the winner doesnt mean we out toughed them.

It means, thank goodness curler went out and we slopped our way to a win.

Cutler went out during the game. Going to count injuries now? This team would be a lot better with Cushing.

Even Sanchez looked funtional against us. We played like crap in that game.

The Patriots lost some games to some bad teams, Texans did not.

I know the deal in Houston is to overreact massively and that is what is going to be done. This team is what their record is, yeah they looked bad today but man they lost two games.

Great teams are judged by what they do in the PLAYOFFS not now. If this was a beatdown in the post-season then yes...but it wasn't. This game will mean nada if we beat the Patriots.

 

[RTP2110]

and the Texans score a touchdown. I think I'll wet my pants.
