Texans @ Jaguars Live Game Thread

We're better than them - but we're sucking balls right now. They are all in our heads.

Oh really. You'd trade running games?

 

[GuerillaBlack]

Yep, Dom Kubiak is getting outcoached again. I'm starting to think he's not quite ready for the NFL.

I think you need some food to calm you down.

 

[Vinny]

plus 100 cups of coffee

give or take a couple.

I wouldn't go that far. Collectively as a coaching staff their getting owned right now.

 

[imatexan]

What the heck happend! We need to step it up...lets get a stop!

same old crap just a different game

 

[TexanExile]

Garrard not really a good passer.

Appreciate them stopping the clock with all these incompletions.

 

[PapaL]

Oh really. You'd trade running games?

Besides the one long run they haven't done squat. A handful of decent runs but nothing earth shattering. If we could actually get the ball to our Offense we would be in a good place.

 

[STEEL BLUE TEXANS]

Got a break there. Jones dropped the pass.

 

[PapaL]

same old crap just a different game

Then why watch?

 

[STEEL BLUE TEXANS]

Call a timeout! WTF are you doing letting the clock run down.

 

[Spike]

Why no time out????

 

[Topher]

Call a time out!

 

[PapaL]

Uhh, timeout anyone?

 

[TheIronDuke]

My god why not call a TO Kubiak????

 

[the wonger need food]

Almost 2 minutes in the half and no timeout??????????????


What the hell is Dom Kubiak doing over there?

 

[ChrisG]

Then why watch?

because I LOVE THE TEXANS...just pissed at seeing the same damn problems as the last few weeks

 

[TheIronDuke]

WTF? We drove the field 60+ yards against Miami with a lot less time.

 

[Allstar]

Our clock management is absolutely horrid.

 

[TexanExile]

If I went through every game thread from the past few weeks, I'd find at least one post from me griping about clock management at the end of the first half.

Er....ditto.

 

[imatexan]

Kubiak really needs to figure out clock management or he is gana get a lot of crap.

 

[brakos82]

10-6 Jaqs

 

[ChrisG]

only down by 4

 

[YellerLotYeller]

poor clock management...we blew 20+ secs our O needed.

 

[2BCF]

Capers school of clock mgmt.

 

[STEEL BLUE TEXANS]

2 minute drill? Pshhh... We can do it in 1 minute.

 

[TexanRevolution]

Why manage the clock when we're just going to run it out & head for the locker room?

 

[YellerLotYeller]

watch out for the onside

 

[junior]

even if we score at the end of the half it doesnt make kubiaks decision to not call a TO any less stupid.

 

[alphajoker]

What a frustrating game.

 

[Mike Kerns]

It seems like we havent had the ball for an hour now...

 

[TexanExile]

Wtf???

 

[ChrisG]

It seems like we havent had the ball for an hour now...

i think it may be close to that

 

[TexanRevolution]

How imaginative

 

[Vinny]

ugh, a screen pass may has well been a FB dive play.

 

[Blake]

Relax guys we are down by 4 and playing well IMO. Correct the Andre Davis goal line reach error and we are up by 4.

Im not stressin yet.

 

[Mike Kerns]

Jesus....just go to the locker room & regroup...

 

[GuerillaBlack]

Are you kidding me?!?!?!?!

 

[YellerLotYeller]

hmm mmm

 

[ChrisG]

this play calling sucks

 

[TexanExile]

Coaching staff's suddenly got a lot of quit in 'em.

 

[the wonger need food]

Nice half Kubiak and crew. That was one of the worst displays of NFL football in your short history.

 

[disaacks3]

like it or not, after two incompletes, running it was the right call.

 

[Thorn]

It's a close game, I think we all expected that. We should be up though, not them.

 

[tulexan]

would you have rather given the jags 40 seconds if it was an incompletion?

 

[Allstar]

We should get Jacoby involved in the offense or let him return a few kicks or something...

 

[Spike]

With everything that has happened this game, I think we are OK going down by 4. You have to go into the locker room, put all the mistakes, missed opportinuties and inopportune penalties behind you.

I think JAX comes back relieved and relaxed. I hope we come back mad shove it in their face.

 

[PapaL]

Time for some Wii Tennis

 

[taruky]

The Texans coaches are idiots. Why on earth would you not call a timeout on 4th down with 1:40 or so left? That and being completely unprepared for an onside kick makes you wonder about their competency. Del Rio is known for taking chances.

 

[kiwitexansfan]

In regards to Kubiak's clock management, I would think his reasoning is that they have a very tired defense and if the 2 minute drill goes poorly that will give the Jags the ball back with a chance to score again. If it goes well we don't need more than a minute to get inside FG range.

Hence the smart, not exciting, call to make was to let some clock run off.
