Official Texans @ Jaguars Game Thread, 12/6/2009

[Arky]

MJD for 6. 2nd and 4 coming up from the Texan 12.

2nd down pass goes inc. 3rd and 4 coming up.

QB draw comes up short of the 1st down and the Jags will go for it on 4th and 1.

QB sneak gets the 1st down.

MJD for 4 puts the ball inside the 5.

MJD for 3. Ball is at the 1 - 3rd and goal coming up.

MJD gets a 1/2 yard. 4th and a half yard for the TD. Del Rio challenges that MJD made it in.

[Keith]

I don't think there is a head coach I despise more than Del Rio.

As for Colts vs. Titans, I think you have to hope the Titans lose to help keep the playoff hopes alive, errrr keep the Texans out of the AFC South cellar.

That's some pretty awesome goalline defense there by the LBs. First DeMeco kept out MJD on 2nd down, then Diles did it on 3rd down, then Cushing and Adibi did the job on 4th. Sweet.

[sinnister]

It's not a promising start........

[Arky]

Ruling on the field stands. Jags to go for it on 4th down.

MJD is stopped! Texans with the goal line stand.

Texans ball at their own 1.

[sinnister]

That was a great stand though!!!!

[HPF Bob]

Looked obviously to me that Schaub hurt his *left* shoulder, possibly a separation or a sprain. If Schaub is tough, he can play through it since it is his non-passing shoulder.

But it's probably Rex Cutler's show for the rest of the day. Not looking good, despite the GREAT GOAL LINE STAND our defense just made.

[Arky]

On 1st down, Grossman can't find anyone open and throws it away.

Pass to KW good for 7. Brings up 3rd and 3.

C Brown stopped for no gain so Texans have to punt.

Jags bring the punt back to midfield.

[Arky]

On 1st down, DeMeco with the sack! -7. Brings up 2nd and 17.

MJD for 7. Brings up 3rd and 10.

Pass interference on the Jags makes it 3rd and 20 from the Jags 40.

3rd down pass sails inc. so the Jags have to punt.

Martinez brings the punt back to the 13 but flag on the play. Illegal block in the back on F Bennett = 1/2 the distance.

[Arky]

Texans ball at their own 6.

Moats for about 10. 1st down.

Moats for 4.

Moats for about 3 more. Brings up 3rd and 3.

Grossman's pass slightly behind AJ so Texans have to punt.

Turk shanks the punt for a 23 yard net. Jags ball at the Texan 46.

[chuck]

Need I say it? Yet another idiotic penalty committed by Marciano's special teams unit. I can't tell you how happy I am that this will be the last year I have to see that assclown on the sidelines in Texans gear.

Did anyone else get an email inviting you to some sort of Texans chalk talk at the training bubble in a week or so? Joe Marciano is going to talk about football. For $25 a person. I almost spit up my apple juice I was laughing so hard.

Hey! Look at that! They put Moats in and he immediately starts gaining positive yardage! Whodathunk it?

I swear, Kubiak is just mindbogglingly stupid. Where the hell has Moats been these last three games?

[TheMatrix31]

Oh, Rexy!

*sigh*

[Roy P]

So, for the Schaub disrespecters out there, what will the outcome of this game show? If Rex can get a win, will there be more talk about Schaub being a good QB stat-wise, but just "not a winner"? If Rex can't get a victory, then would people see that not every team can have Peyton Manning or Tom Brady as their starting QB?

[Arky]

Jennings for 3. 2nd and 7 coming up.

2nd down pass broken up by Dunta.

On 3rd and 7, pass is good to Holt for 8 and the 1st down.

Deep pass to Hughes perfectly executed over Reeves for the TD. 35 yards.

Jags 10, Texans 0

I've seen Grossman throw, what, five passes now? And I already know that Schaub is better than he is. I also know that Garrard is better than either of them.

Really? Are you serious?

[chuck]

Another penalty on the return. Unbelievable. What a bunch of slapdicks.

[Arky]

AD brings the kickoff back to the 25. Flag on the Texans for holding = 1/2 the distance. Ball at the Texan 15.

Pass to KW good for 20.

Dump to C Brown good for 5.

C Brown for 4. Brings up 3rd and 1 at the Texan 45.

QB sneak gets the 1st down.

Grossman bootlegs for 8. 2nd and 2 coming up.

Moats hits the corner for 7. Ball at the Jags 38.

Grossman fumbles - Texans lose 4.

2nd down pass is tipped inc. Flag on the play. No foul ruled.

In what aspect of being an NFL quarterback is Matt Schaub clearly better than David Garrard?

[Arky]

On 3rd and 14, Grossman's pass never gets launched = inc. Texans have to punt.

Turk's punt goes into the endzone so it will be the Jags ball at their own 20.

[chuck]

And Turk booms it into the end zone when he has 20 yards of sideline to work with. See, this is what I don't get. Kubaik and Marciano are standing placidly on the sidelines watching the proceedings like nothing is amiss whatsoever. I distinctly recall seeing Bill Parcells CHARGE onto the field to tear his punter a new asshole for doing the same stupid thing. That's the difference between a real NFL coach and an inept pussy like Kubiak. One will not tolerate anything other than excellence, the other doesn't know what excellence is so he certainly can't demand it.
