Official Texans vs. Vikings Game Thread, 12/23/2012

The reason the Texans offense is struggling is because Kubliak is a conservative idiot and the players are slow and plodding. This offense plays at a slower pace and speed than any of the top-to-average offenses in the league. It's amazing to me how slow this team looks. Add slow skill players, spotty OL play and a QB that can't carry the team, you get an offense that can't match up against a physical, fast defense.

And it's so weird what we're seeing now compared with earlier in the year. Remember when the team played far more up-tempo? The first six or eight games the team would occasionally or even often employ what they called a sugar huddle. Our complaint back then was that the team would come out red hot and score two or three times before the opponent had had a chance to figure out what the hell was going on and then Kubiak would take his foot off the pedal. Little did we know we'd end up longing for those days.
