Other than the Oiler playoff losses at Buffalo and home against Kansas City, that was probably the most deflating loss Houston has ever experienced. That was like Lucy yanking the ball away from Charlie Brown.
That was a meltdown for the ages. I don't mind the rollouts on those critical downs but you've GOT to protect the ball. Rosenfels committed the cardinal sin three times in one quarter. The first time, he got away with it and the other two he didn't and it blew up in our faces.
If they wanted to revive the spirit of Houston fans in the wake of Ike, I'd say they missed the mark.
