Official Texans @ Bengals Game Thread, 12/11/2011

[Big Texas]

I am so glad that Kubiak is going to let Yates throw the ball downfield.

Too bad he is only deep threat is Jacoby Jones...

[popanot]

On the pass to the endzone the annoucers say afterwards; "Yates has to give Jones a chance to catch the ball". Really?? What about the first play of the game? JJ has to get his head out of his @ss and give Yates a chance to succeed.

In case anyone was confused as to why I keep saying I want a CB in the first round next year maybe that last Kareem Jackson escapade brings my thinking into sharper relief.
