The argument is not in the interest of getting a new QB, its just releasing frustration about a last second play (and call) that looked, for lack of a better word, unrehearsed.

And I don't bring up the passing yards to prove he had a good game. He didn't have a good game. But he is not even near the front of the line when I am assessing blame to our offense. He played under pressure all game and had no protection. Sacked repeatedly, 6 balls batted down, no WRs getting open downfield. No running game to help him out. No running plays called (or screens) to slow down the pass rush. And he still moved the ball all day by throwing to guys like Joel Dreesen.

As for the final drive, it is a miracle we get down there with a bad punt return, a facemask on our gimply RG who should not have been on the field, no pass protection, and a bad snap. We managed to convert two 20+ yard conversions just on that drive (1st and 25 and 3rd and 23).

Not to mention he already threw what should have been the game tying TD to Vickers on the previous drive (the very fact that we are throwing to Vickers shows either a coaching/substitution screw up or a personell issue).

OL, play-calling, Jacoby Jones, and bad special teams play screwed us in this game, and the AJless offense could not overcome that.

No argument here. It was a screwup. Schaub is not a good off schedule QB and we won't win many games waiting for him to scramble for TDs on broken plays.

I agree 100%...

BUT

Shaub still had a chance to overcome all those negatives and win the game (which is what winners do)...LOL

Barretts right, I just saw the replay and he gets maybe to the 4 yard line before he's tackled if he trys to run it into the EZ.

I'm still trying to understand why that call was to Vickers rather than Casey. Casey might have been hurt.

I don't know why Kubiak wasted a valuable timeout challenging a call that he clearly had no chance of overturning. It is absolutely inexcusable for Kubiak to continue to make these kinds of mistakes.

Why didn't have a quick-hit play called at the end to allow them another chance if the first call didn't work?

The Texans managed to look as bad as the stupidest, most undisciplined team in the history of football. Worse, actually.

Lot nf bad play, back to not over the hump yet.

If he ran to the pylon, he would have been able to dive and hit it.

Casey was hurt. Him and Mario are expected to be evaluated again tonight.

That play that was challenged was a potential first down play. If not, we punt. The challenge HAD to be made. And it was a catch. You know it and I know it. Just inconclusive.

Kubiak had a lot of problems today, and the playcalling was pretty weak. Tough to have a good playbook without the best wide receiver in football and your two backup RBs out, but still.

This loss falls on Schaub, offensive line, and Jacoby Jones. Plain and simple.

I guess you didn't see him get run down by 320 lb DT Tommy Kelly. But somehow you think he is beating the safety to the Pylon?

So with Casey hurt that means schaub played the last two drives with no running plays and Walter, jones, dreesen, Daniels and foster. Street FAs at 3 and 4 WR. Practice squad backup rb. Backup fb. And an OL getting owned.

Well said. Not sure if it was a catch, but a stupid challenge.

Id rather have Schaub try to make a play throwing the ball rather then try to bull rush it in and having to start Matt Leinart next week.

What the hell is the deal with Bryant Johnson? Is he hurt? Inactive?

Heard he was hurt but active and available in an emergency.

Do you remember what sort of injury it is? I did a quick search and couldn't find anything.

Not sure. Just heard it from McClain on the 610 postgame.

Also heard they suspect a torn pec for Mario which would mean ir. Casey may be the same injury.

I heard that too but whenever I hear that guy speaking I quit paying close attention and wasn't sure whether he was talking about Johnson or Kareem Jackson.

I heard that, too. This season is teetering on the edge of disaster. Andy Reid is currently in the lead in good old chuck's 2012 straw poll.

Are you saying you want Andy Reid as our coach?

Just fast forwarded to that last play on the DVR, no way in hell Schaub gets into the end zone. He was @ the 5, a DB was closing in @ the 3. Looks like he tried to put it into a tight window for JJ, but obviously that didn't work.....

Also looked like they flushed him left on a play that most of his options were right.

Sucks.

I might be alone in this but I like Andy Reid a lot.

I don't think he's a bad coach but he's kind of a rich man's kubiak. Good team builder. Good Monday through Saturday guy. Terrible gameday coach. Probably the worst clock management around. Lots of the same things that frustrate you about kubs.

So you're saying it would be a comfortable transition.

If you like Andy Reid you ought to like Kubiak.

Prior to this game the Raiders DL had been last in defense against the run.

I don't care if they were playing for their momma. We lost one we shoulda won! Schaub proved that you give him a little rush and he will give the ball up. JJ played the worst game of his career. I know he blows hot and cold sometimes, but he was iced today. Not worthy of being the #1 option while AJ is out. The TEs tried to carry the load, but only proved it takes a proven pro WR like AJ to get the defense out of their gameplan.

At the end with a chance to salt this one away, Schaub proved he gets rattled under pressure, and JJ on that last play was fronting the defender Michael Huff, but inexplicably at the last second chose to go behind the defender making it impossible for Schub to get it to him, making it easy for Huff to make the int and salt the win for 'ol "just win baby" Davis.

Both Kubiak and Wade Phillips were unable to adjust yet again to what the other team was doing all game long on defense. They also made journeyman QB Jason Camkpbell look like an all-pro.

Altogether a sucky effort by the Texans in their own playpen. Inexcusable!

Maybe with the owners meeting here in Houston this week, McNair will get some more compliments on how good his team looks when losing. That should fill him with enough confidence to think he has a top echelon team and coaching staff.

Sometimes I really wonder what game you are watching. There is plenty of blame to go around for our special teams and offense, but our defense played great yesterday. They gave up under 250 yards if you don't count the special teams fake punt. They bailed us out on both first half turnovers.

Campbell hardly looked like an all-pro. He didn't get his offense a first down until just before half time. He completed 15/35 passes. He had under 200 yards passing. And they shut down McFadden at the same time, holding the NFL's leading rusher to 51 yards.

And about not making adjustments, if you take out the fake punt, they allowed THREE YARDS on four 4th quarter Raiders possessions. How else do you think our sputtering offense and inept special teams had a chance to win in the end. the Raiders went backwards on their last two possessions, and the defense even saved us some time when the Raiders threw the ball deep for some reason on 2nd down. And the safety and CB blitzes were a great adjustment and helped get a 3rd down stop in the 4th quarter (the raiders were 3/15 on 3rd down for the day).

Great game defense, and sorry we wasted it.

After watching yesterday's game in which Kubisen called 51 passes in a game with no Andre Johnson, I would say it would be a seamless transition.

If we would end up with Andy Reid next year, I don't see how Texans' fans couldn't be excited about that change in head coachs ? How many times has he taken Philly to the playoffs, even the NFC championship game ? Took them to the SB once. How is that not a significant step-up from Kubiaks performance here in Houston ?

He has struggled to win without a June Johnson defense. And to compound that he hired his long time OFFENSIVE line coach as defensive coordinator this year. Juan castillo's DC credentials make frank bush look like Monte kiffin.
