That sure is an open-ended question. :p

At 2-2 including a 25 point blowout victory on the road vs NE and a win against the

Today is the day! It is today until tomorrow and then it will become yesterday......

That is so frustrating. INT.

Dolphins kick off. Texans get a first down but Matt Schaub is intercepted on the next play.

Dolphins ball near midfield...

---------

Texans stop them on 3rd down, Miami to punt.

JJ fair catch at the Texan 12.

Texans move the ball to about midfield where Schaub throws INT #2.

Dolphins use flea-flicker type play for deep pass and 6 pts.

Dolphins 7, Texans 0

Sweet mother.

If the Texans lose it's time for Kubiak to go, IMO. The team will be lost at that point.

Schaub looks terrible. Wish we had a veteran QB to go to. :( I think at this point Sage is the better option, Put him in and lets hope he has learned fron his mistakes last week.

Texans move down the field but stall out in the redzone. K Brown FG = good.

Dolphins 7, Texans 3

Texans moving the ball well but not much to show for it.....

Texans could use a turnover to swing momentum....

Prediction: Porter will hit Schaub and create a turnover sooner or later. Probably at the worst possible time.

Defense makes a stop so Miami punts. Ball rolls to the Texan 13. Texans with a long field - again.

Texans move the ball into Miami territory but can't convert on 3rd down so Turk comes in to punt. Punt is touchback so Miami's ball at the 20.

On second down, Miami throws a little screen type play that goes all the way 80 yds.

Miami 14, Texans 3

This f'ing team sucks!!!!

Davis with a good return, maybe this is where we start it off.


...I hope

I'm loving these long throws, I have to say.

It amazes me that our offense can NEVER hit a big play like that.

Schaub continues to throw into coverage.

Miami kicks off - nice return by A Davis to about the Miami 42 yd. line.

20 yd pass to AJ. Texans already at the Miami 22....

--------

AD interferred with - Texans with a 1st and 10 in the redzone.

---------

Drive stalls - Kris Brown FG good from 33 yds.

Dolphins 14, Texans 6

Jacoby with a 70 yard punt return for TD!

Texans defense makes a much needed stop - Miami has to punt.

All the way with JJ! 70 yards.

Miami 14, Texans 13

Texans kick off. Miami gets one first down and then the defense comes on strong again - Mario with a sack/FF.

Dolphins have to punt.

Texans takeover at their own 31. 1:47 left till halftime.

Texans fail to get a 1st down after 2 running plays so punt time. Miami will get the ball with less than a minute left @ their own 16 yd. line.

Miami runs one play and lets the clock run out.

Halftime:

Dolphins 14, Texans 13

Stats:

Schaub - 10/18 for 153 yds, 0 TD, 2 INT's

Rushing - Slaton 8/33 (4.1 avg), Green 5/19 (3.8 avg.)

Time of Possession: Texans 17:32, Dolphins 12:28

Texans kick off to Miami to start the 2nd half.

----

Miami an inch away from a first down - they elect to punt.

JJ fields the ball and is tackled at the Texan 20.

Man, that was a quick halftime. I missed the entire Miami possession + the Andre play.

Damn.

Yeah baby! TD pass to AJ!

Texans 20, Dolphins 14

Texans 1st lead.

Need a FG or something - don't like that 6 pt differential....

Dolphins come right back and drive down the field. Williams runs it in for the TD.

Dolphins 21, Texans 20

Nice job. AJ. Yeah, Pro Bowler....

Oh, my. AJ fumbles near the goal line. Ball recovered in the endzone.

Miami takes over at their own 20.

First non-QB turnover all year. :( Bad timing.

Texans receive punt around their 30 yd line.

It's now or never, fellas. Very winnable ballgame......

Texans go nowhere - have to punt.

Miami takes over around their 23 yd line.

This would be a great spot for Miami's first turnover.......

Miami punts - touchback. Texans takeover @ their own 20. 9:43 left in game.

That Walter play was HUGE!

Yeah, baby. They're in FG range but 6 would be nice...

--------

Texans fail to convert on 3rd down. Kris Brown FG = good.

Texans 23, Dolphins 21

About 6 minutes left in the game...

WTF! Would you protect the ball!!!! Jezzus!!! These guys are so undisciplined it's ridiculous!

Dolphins run it in for the TD.

Dolphins 28, Texans 23

Texans have 1:43 and two timeouts to get something done....

Unbelievable! This team is a joke. Soooooo stupid it's not even funny!!!

Awesome!
