Because you worked very hard to build up a fake tough/aggressive guy persona.

Schaub's Shitty Throw Of The Game (tm)

Ball at the Bronco 39.

Foster for 1.

Pass to Martin low and inc. 3rd and 9 coming up.

Schaub's pass in INT'ed by Woodyard.

Oh oh, interception, under pressure. Well, let's just sack
Minning a few times.

I don't have a problem with that throw. 4th down and a punt if we throw it away. Why not give your wr a chance against a LB? Sure the LB made a great one handed catch, but I'm ok with being aggressive.

Broncos ball at their 40.

Manning is sacked by Watt! Makes it 2nd and 13. Timeout Broncos.

-----------------------

Pass to Decker is dropped. 3rd and 13 coming up.

Pass to Decker complete for 22. 10 seconds left in the half. Ball at the Texan 41.

Pass is complete for about 7 yards. Prater on for the FG. 6 seconds left in the half.

Prater's 53-yarder is good.

Texans 21, Broncos 11

1 second left in the half.

------------------

Squibby kickoff is downed by Casey.

Foster for 4. 3rd and 6 coming up.

Schaub's pass to KW at the sideline goes inc. Texans have to punt.

Short pass to KW good for 3 and the 1st down. Flag on V Miller for roughing Schaub, 15 yards. Ball is at the Denver 36.

Oh my, deep pass to AJ in the endzone inc, can't hang on. Schaub is roughed up again. 15 more yards. Places the ball at the Bronco 21.

Schaub just said "Where's my ****************ing helmet"

Nice!

Tate for 3.

Foster for 5. 3rd and 2 coming up.

Foster just gets 1 but flag down. Holding on Texans, do-over, makes it 3rd and 12.

Pass over the middle to Martin is inc. Texans to go for the FG.

Graham's 41-yarder is good.

Texans 24, Broncos 11

9:11 left in the 3rd quarter.

I thought Denver got away with 2-3 late hits in the first half.

Need more cushion....

----------------------------

Broncos bring the ensuing kickoff back to their 26.

----------------------------

Mannings screen pass is dropped. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Timeout called by Manning at the LOS....

-----------------------------

There's got to be some fines or suspensions....both of those hits looked intentional

It looks like the BoP are getting a ton of push out of the DEs and not much push out of the OLBs who seem content to stay in their lanes and occupy the OL outside. I haven't seen too much trickery up front.

I love how with these refs you can get a timeout like 5 seconds after the play clock hits zero.

Beating ourselves with these damn penalties.
