I don't think that was the actual quote but yeah, that's what Kubiak meant. It doesn't help when the refs initially rule "no fumble". (Again, watching it real time, I didn't think it was a fumble or even that close. Not till the replays started coming did I "see" it). Any replay would have to have conclusive proof to overturn it. And according to the refs, there was conclusive proof.
I just don't see it as the boneheaded play some of you do. IMO, it was just a little perfect storm of bad fortune....

Sure hindsight is wonderful, but someone should have been smart enough to recognize the possibility of a fumble there (Moats, Schaub, the coaches on the field or booth...) and taken appropriate measures to ensure we kept possession of the ball. That one play might have lost us the game.

Yeah, or it could have been the six 1st downs the Texans gave Indy via penalty. Or the missed K Brown FG. Or the Schaub INT's.... The Texans didn't lose the game on one play.
The deal is, what can you do about it now? If you're the Texans, you learn from it and move on...
