View Full Version : Official Texans @ Broncos Game Thread, 12/26/2010
Week 16 takes the 5-9 Texans to Denver to play the 3-11 Broncos. The Broncos three wins were over Seattle, Tennessee and Kansas City. They are currently in the midst of a 5-game losing streak but should have a different look with rookie Tim Tebow at QB. Tebow started last Sunday against Oakland and had the team in the game until late when it got away from them in the 4th quarter. The disappointing, banged-up, in-a-turmoil Texans will be looking to tack on a late season "W".

Well, I should have changed my strategy earlier, but the kool aid has stopped flowing, the glass is now half empty, took a while, so I'll predict Broncos win 30-28. Texans end at 5-11. The worse the better. (note: my heart wishes we were 10-6, in playoffs but, results say time for a change)
I have no idea what's going to happen today - good Texans or bad Texans? Though, the game is seemingly meaningless to many, I think it means a lot to Kubiak and anybody else that wants to be here next year....

And Miracle Timmy hugs the game ball and then finds Kubiak to shake hands with after the game.
...and he should, when you think about. Who else could hand Tebow a 300-yd game and the winning TD but the Texans defense?

At this point we know that we already have a terrible defense that can't even hold a 17 point lead. If we win these meaningless games then we lose in the draft position. Kinda hard to admit it but I was actually glad that we lost. We need to have a top 10 pick in the draft.

The saddest thing is the utter predictability of all of it. I knew the D would give up a TD to the Broncos. I knew when we got the ball back with plenty of time, Kubiak would nevertheless refuse to run the ball even though there is no reason to abandon it. There was over a minute left and we were in Bronco territory and Rackers clearly had his A-game today. Considering we have one of the best RBs in the league and a QB prone to INTs and sack-fumbles, logic would dictate running the ball a couple of times in this situation rather than have Schaub continue to throw. However, Kubes never lets logic get in the way and of course, dialed up pass after pass until the highly predictable INT. So tired of this team.

Well, I told everyone up here to watch the game. All these bronco fans told me they're disgusted with the broncos and have given up on them.
I told them, "Fear not! for my Texans are a Christian team; always seeing others as superior to us." I told them to watch the game as Tebow would tear us up...and he did.
So, no will we fire Koobs? I mean seriously, what else can he do to prove he doesn't have it? Four years later and we're gonna be 5 and 11...I guess that makes him twice as good as the team he took over right?
HPF Bob
12-26-2010, 10:55 PM
Well, at least they changed it up this week. They came from 17 points ahead instead of 17 points behind. Same result though. And did I not call the Schaub interception? Wouldn't have mattered because Rackers would have certainly shanked a chip shot field goal had Schaub not intervened first. I mean, after Rackers hit a pair of 50+ yarders at a distance he can only make at altitude with a good tailwind, it would have been the true Texan fate to watch him gag on a chippie in the final minute, right?

That was amazing. so now six of 10 losses came in last few minutes due to something happening that ought to not happen.
