To call this year a roller coaster year for the Houston Texans would only be true if the roller coaster only went one direction, down! People soon forget this year was plagued by horrible quarterback play, long before it started to suffer season ending injuries. To top it off, decisions from above continue to baffle the entire city. Decisions like Matt Schaub throwing a record number of Pick 6's, only to be bench by injury. T.J. Yates being named the back up quarterback, after Case Keenum was clearly the better guy during preseason. All of the things we saw Case do in preseason, is what we've seen from him since hitting the field. Then there is Ed Reed. We flew this guy in on a private jet. Sent Andre Johnson to wine him and dine him, and convince his FRIEND to come play with this stand up organization. But after Ed Reed, a first ballot hall of famer, speaks his mind to the media, saying what REALLY HAPPENED, we released him. So just after a few truthful words, we released hi?. But we say it is because we weren't going to be using him. Ok, I get that. I remember the code of the team. I remember Arian Foster being benched in the Raider's game for the first half, for disciplinary reason, only to come out in the second half and have a monster game. But just to be clear, Andre Johnson can curse out the quarterback, and walk off the field before the game was over? That's right, we are at least consistent, right? I was super ready to see Case come out and run the Sugar Huddle. Mainly because the days we'd seen Schaub run it, it was just dink and dunk, but was enough to keep the same defenders on the field. But we didn't keep Case, we sent Matt Schaub back out there. The biggest problems we face with this organization is that NFL teams have figured out this offense. They know Schaub like the back of there hand. Dink and Dunk, Andre. Dink and Dunk, Andre. I wasn't mad that Kubiak put Schaub in the game at halftime, I was just happy that he actually made a change, FOR A CHANGE. But this decision, like many others, is why we are in this downfall. NFL teams know once they have Kubiak's game plan in the first half, they have it for the rest of the game. But where is the accountability on the Defensive end of the ball? A Defense that was holding teams to under 20 points a game. Case has put up almost 3 touchdowns per game. I can't bash the defense too much, as I think Cushing was the glue that held that defense together. Oh but the special teams though! Randy Bullock is still our kicker because he can kick off and put the football out of the end zone. Those of you wondering why Neil Rackers, and Shawn Graham didn't make the cut after Bullock missed a whopping 64 million field goals, this is why we kept him. Remind me why we have to kick it through the end zone again? Oh yea,
Rocky Marciano has yet to provide a knock out blow to other teams return
men. So we keep Bullock for that specialty, yet we let Trindon Halliday go because we could never just have a guy who just returns the football. I honestly felt that 9-7 could easily win this division, as I felt Indy was headed toward a skid. But the decisions that have plagued this organization this year is far from new. We failed to pull the trigger on David Carr for quite some time(Kubiak said he could win with Carr. #Decisions). We failed to fire Frank Bush from Defensive Coordinator, Wade signing seemed more of an owner move. Marciano remains over the Special Teams, yet two people under his wing went on to break Return records with there respective teams. Jacoby Jones, Trindon Halliday. With that being said. Bob McNair should take a stronger look at the pissed off fans. As the players continue to call the fans words like "Wishy Washy", "Up and Down", "Not Smart" is reminiscent of when Bud Adams first tried to build a new stadium here. We said no, however, we built one anyway. But just in case you guys are wondering what it feels like to have "Wishy Washy" Fans, and Stupid fans. Check out the Wiki link. Sounds to me like hearing us boo could actually be a good thing!
Wiki:
The 1996 season
was a disaster for the Oilers; they played before crowds of fewer than
20,000 and games were so quiet that it was possible to hear
conversations on the field from the grandstand. Meanwhile, the team's
radio network, which once stretched across the state, was reduced to the
flagship station in Houston and a few affiliates in Tennessee, and was
cutting off games prior to their finish in favor of preseason
basketball.[4]
The team went 8–8, finishing 6–2 in road games and only 2–6 in home
games. Adams, the city and the league were unwilling to see this
continue for another season.
So Bobby McNair you still have time to save face. There is not a Texans fan in Houston who wouldn't sell there Grandmother's Sweet Potato Pie recipe for the chance to beat Indy in Indy, Spank Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, and win out the rest of the season. But if you don't hear anything else, HEAR THIS the Gary Schaubiak era is over. Let's move on. Andre Johnson couldn't be more frustrated right now. The media isn't playing his full interview after the game. The media would have us believe that Andre Johnson wanted a trade, or doesn't want to be with the team. However, what he really said was pretty far from that. He was asked the same question a different way 3 times, and the answer they are playing is the final one where he was pretty much just shutting them up. You have him sell his soul to get Reed to stay, and you don't give him a full season to really heal, but you continue to give Schaub a chance at mediocrity? That's enough to make Andre curse everyone out and leave for good. THIS is why he took no heat over doing what he did. And personally, I DON'T BLAME HIM! Kubiak just seems to not Know that he doesn't know, that he doesn't know.
