Wow. So many things to go over.
The Curse Of The Colts (tm) is apparently stronger than Battle Red jerseys, a 21-3 halftime lead and the departure of a Hall of Fame quarterback.
If the Texans don't lead the league in untimely penalties, I can't imagine who does.
I'm still dumbstruck that we got rid of Jacoby Jones and Trindon Holliday so we could watch our bad kick return teams make misplay after misplay. Hell, what's Andre Davis and J.J. Moses doing nowadays?
I was willing to stick with Bullock but tonight's loss really rests on him more than anyone, not for the desperation miss at the end but the two earlier misses inside the 50. If you can't hit 70% between 40-50 yards away, there are plenty of unemployed kickers out there who can.
I'm sad because Wade deserved to win after Bum's passing and Case deserved the win for his incredible play. Watching Wade's postgame presser it sure seemed like he had that "what else could happen to us" look on his face. He's been through a bunch these last few weeks.
As for Kubiak, one can only guess what this season is doing to his health. Most head coaches are Type A people whose response to failure is to work twice as hard. I'm sure he hears the whispers no matter how many votes of confidence he may receive.
Houston sports teams only seem to know two types of existence - league-worst suckage (currently personified by the Astros but the Rockets, Texans and Oilers have all had their turns) and underachieving (other than the 94-95 Rockets). Things always just go wrong. Frustrating as hell.
