Schaub is Injured

hradhak said:
Also, I hope people start to understand that the terrible playcalling is responsible for this season. Yates looked terrible because of terrible, predictable playcalling. Schaub is not blameless here, but the playcalling has been so weak that it's hard to see how any QB would produce different results.

Yates looked terrible because of terrible decisions .... the pick six into double coverage (that the announcer called before the play) and the pick in the opposite endzone with the defender in front of the target receiver.


Blame the play calling if you want ... but the facts show poor decisions.


Can we pretend he's injured too and see if Keenum can do any better ?!

And people are "disgusted" and "ashamed" that some fans cheered when Schaub came off the field. He rolled his ANKLE, FFS! Good grief. This wasn't some head injury. If that were the case, it would be wrong. I don't support the fan who *supposedly* pulled into his driveway, but Schaub isn't in Iraq or Afghanistan dodging bullets for little pay. This guy is guaranteed 29 million dollars playing a fkn GAME. A game that he's not even great at. Contemplate that. Generations of his family have a great chance to be financially set, but hearing that people want him off the field when he hurt an ankle is too much? If that isn't the most soft-served sh*t I've ever heard of.

There's like 15 sides to this story...

PS-& multiple pages of a previously made thread, LOL.
 
Anyone hear anything about the severity of the injury? That's really all I am interested in at this point. Douches are going to be douches no matter what city they're in and sometimes they buy tickets to football games. It happens.

I want to know if we're looking at another incomplete Matt Schaub season or not. I'm tired of talking about how bad his body language is, how immobile he is, how athletically challenged he is, and how inaccurate he is.

I'm ready to start talking about how fragile he is again. :kitten:

noone went to matts home, they reported seeing people drive by taking pictures, nothing more....

And yes this game was not on matt only, but a few before today were 100% on him.

I called it before it was proven that it was BS. People bashing the fans are being ridiculous.

Sprained ankle I heard. Maybe Schaub should rest next week and let Keenum start.

The team played poorly and fans should stop blaming Matt only. How many fans are going to go to houses of players this week or throw ice at them?

Oh and on that point where i used to work we used to get crap and piss thrown on us daily, pretty sure these grown men at their jobs making ungodly amounts of $$$ can handle a little ice haha
 
Haven't read through the whole thread. I was at the game & I don't know that the fans were cheering when Schaub got hurt. After the sack, everyone was quite like we normally are after a sack. It was awkward when it looked like Matt wasn't moving.

There was cheers when they saw Yates start warming up.

Then there were cheers when Matt got up & was being taken off the field. I don't think that was meant as anything against Matt. We do that any time a player is hurt on the field, then gets up. That's good sportsmanship.

There were a lot of boos out there today. The only one I can think of that was aimed at Matt was in the red zone, it was like third & goal & he threw the ball short of the end zone.

Other than that, I was actually pretty proud of the way they treated Schaub. He didn't get booed when he walked out of the tunnel, he didn't get booed when he walked on the field.

They booed the play calls & not going for it on 4th down from the 1 or whereever we were.

I'll be saying this repeatedly all week, because I know the play call is going to get blamed all week. But it's not the play calling.

There were plenty of routes open downfield, Schaub didn't pull the trigger. Hopkins is a beast of a route runner. They're still rolling to Andre & Hopkins was getting open all day.

That said, I was upset seeing Posey & Keyshawn on the sideline all day, until the game was out of hand.

Owen Daniels was out of the game. So we're playing with our third TE who's probably had 3 snaps before today instead of going 3 wides. I'd have loved to see how good their 3rd cornerback was today, but we allowed them to stay in their based defense & play to their strength.

Which QB on the roster is better than Matt? That is the issue with making a QB change but one should still be made. I think either way things are not looking good.

I agree with all of this.

I don't get the point of having those guys if you're not going to use them more.

But I think kubiak is too ho-hum and doesn't mix it up. He gets the upset stomach face and it's a wrap after that.

He needs to get more aggressive. Impose our will on opponents.

There's so much fail with this team.

Noone can say for sure, we saw TJ his rookie year so we kinda know what we are getting with him, and then today he was doing his best Schaub impression. We know nothing about Keenum, he looked damn good in pre season. My point is we will never know who is better that M.S until they all get a fair shot, and no i dont mean coming in with all 2nd stringers when the game is out of reach.

IMO it would take a lot to be worse than Schaub has been for us this season, so in my eyes Keenum is already better than Schaub. Hell atleast give the kid a shot to prove me wrong.

He also threw a pick six point the point being it looks like the season is over.

So, you're saying he has 3 more games to match up with Schaub's turnovers?
:kitten:
Yeah, Yates isn't it either (and I don't think many, if any are saying that) and same with Case (however yet unproven) but I think we've seen enough of our first string QB and he isn't it.

LOL, I'm sure Schaub and his 20+ millions he's about to make will reward you somehow for that. It's unfortunate he sprained his ankle and may miss 2-3 weeks at the most. That hasn't happened to me since I was a teenager while skating, but I'm sure it's now catastrophic according to many of the posters on here.

Possible you fell and landed on your head?

:coffee:
 
From the appearance of Schaub's response to the injury and the type of wrap, it looks like at least a grade II lateral ankle sprain, but without an MRI, a hairline fracture or high ankle sprain cannot be ruled out. Since this occurred in the same foot as his Lisfranc (which could also have been aggravated), the implications are very poor for anything but further deterioration of his mobility and performance. If they put him out there for any reason next week against KC, even if it is only with a mundane sprain, not only will he look even more like a cripple and play more like a cripple, he will extend his injury.

Hah, I don't want to hijack this thread so I'll try to make this short and sweet.

I just find it hilarious and asinine that people care so much about the emotional feelings of someone who has already made more money than they should in a lifetime by playing a sport. There is so much wrong in the world while these babied athletes reap all the benefits, but as soon as the boo's or cheers for another QB come out, it's absolutely wrong and "disgusting." Why would it even matter to you? Schaub doesn't care what you think or feel. He's already won by getting a NFL deal. In fact, that just goes to show how inept people are about seeing the big picture. These athletes already made it.

Stop feeling bad for him. Injuries come with the sport. If Schaub was seriously injured, I wouldn't cheer. He rolled a damn ankle. He wasn't carted off.

Dude...seriously? Get off it bro. Our fan base simply takes the embarrassment on the field and brings it up into the stands upon ourselves with this crap.

Kubes' presser made it sound like he was having other problems with the leg as well. I think he said "a little bit of everything was wrong with his leg".

I would expect that he will be taking next week off and getting reevaluated after the bye week.

I agree, with his history and his already lack of mobility, he shouldn't be out there. He'd literally be a statue.
 
It's been an embarrassing week to be a Texans fan. Between the team shaming themselves twice in an 8 day span, the national hysteria about a million angry rioters burning down Schaub's house, and now cheering a guy who just got hurt playing a game to entertain your sorry asses...
 
I don't think (hope) the fans that were cheering were because of the injury, more that a change was now going to be forced. Why keep doing the same thing expecting different results?

These ankle sprains can very much feel worse after a couple of hours following the injury (endorphins can account for the immediate lesser response). It would not surprise me to see him in a boot tomorrow. Post Lisfranc alone, his mobility/stability was questionable. Add at very least an ankle sprain, the leg would definitely be expected to show greater instability. Without adequate rest and strength, he will extend his injury(ies) and significantly increase his risk for another injury while compensating for poor stability.

KC had 10 sacks today . With that type of rush , Schaub would be a sitting duck .
 
And you thought it couldn’t get any worse than showing up at Matt Schaub’s house after a disappointing loss? Well, there is a special place in fandom hell for those of you who elected to cheer when it was clear that Schaub was injured after being sacked by Chris Long with 3:45 left in the third quarter I don’t care how frustrated you are, that is a total lack of class. Philadelphia fans are roasted for booing Santa Claus some 45 years ago. Going after a fictional character for fun is far less egregious than celebrating your own starting quarterback’s injury. You. Should. Be. Ashamed.

I was at the game.

Some fans cheered when Schaub went down, but it was pretty quiet. More fans cheered when Schaub stood up and walked off the field.

Everyone went crazy when Yates entered the game.

Those first fans that cheered are douches. Most people didn't cheer while he was down. Of course the media will say that the stands were going crazy when Schaub was down.

someone posted a video and it doesnt even seem like what themedia is making it out to be.. there was a period of silence while he was down and the loudest cheer doesnt come until he stands up (which would signify they are cheering him getting up). the video cut before yates went in so i dont remember if it got louder. so what i can see from video was fans booed when he got sacked, then as they notice him hurt theres some collective stadium noise including reactions but you dont hear cheering as if the stadium erupted in glee.. the media is trying to make this players vs fans crap..
