Official Texans @ Chiefs Game Thread, 10/20/2013

[barrett]

Fassano blindsided McCain there on that 3rd down conversion. Absolutely blew him up on a pick play and no penalty.

[chuck]

I'm trying to figure out that last time out.

[Arky]

Charles for 1.

Charles for 4. 3rd and 5 coming up.

Pass is complete to Bowe for 14 yards. Offsides on E Reed is declined. 1st down.

Charles for 1.

On 2nd and 9, pass to Avery gets 5. 3rd and 4 coming up.

2 minute warning, Texans out of timeouts.

Just awful.

[barrett]

I just went back and watched it again and am in shock there was no offensive PI. Fassano actually lowers his shoulder on the play and decleats McCain. All right in front of the official.

[BigBull]

McCain made a play. I'm in shock.

[Arky]

On 3rd and 4, Smith's pass is broken up, inc. Chiefs have to punt.

Chiefs down the punt at the Texan 10. Texans ball with 1:46 left in the game.

[barrett]

Keenum is starting to fade backwards out of the pocket in anticipation of pressure.

[Arky]

Keenum's pass to Graham is broken up, inc. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Oh no, Keenum sacked and stripped, fumbles, Chiefs recover. Chiefs ball at the Texan 1. Chiefs kneeling it out.

Final Score:

Chiefs 17, Texans 16

[Nconroe]

Ok, pretty good effort Case.

[barrett]

Great effort from Keenum. He made me care again after determining I wouldn't care the rest of the season. And I already can't wait to see him again. If Schaub is given the job back I'll be heartbroken.

[popanot]

I'm baffled by the calls on our last 3 or 4 offensive series. Of course, the OL and blocking sucked, but it seemed like Kubiak ran a lot of stuff that left Keenum exposed.

[chuck]

Leaving Newton one on one with anyone is mind bending stupidity, with Hali it's just criminal.

[BigBull]

I think Kubiak mismanaged his timeouts and play calling at the end was bad.

Andy Reid threw the ball twice, three times maybe on that last series when the Texans had no time outs. Yet he is 500000 times smarter than palm licker.

[Arky]

Case did good. Needs to work on his pocket awareness but loved the performance overall.

Jamaal Charles is one cheap-shotting SOB.....

Look, i hope Case is the real deal, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

I'm not saying not to take a QB, just not one in the 1st.

[barrett]

It's interesting to criticize play calling when we basically have no idea what the plays were. I don't think we ever saw the routes the last few series since Keenum was getting buried. If I could criticize anything coaching wise it would be the lack of audibles we call. Or kicking a FG on the goal line.

But if Case fails to see where the blitz is coming from, fails to get the ball out, and the OL blocks nobody, that is not a play call issue. On many of those plays they just brought more guys than we had blockers. That will happen when you have no RBs and cannot run the ball to keep a team honest (the other huge coaching error, how do you not have a 3rd RB when Foster enters the game dinged). Plus your QB has no reps with the WRs and no established connection that would allow them to break off routes or go hot. Not to mention the world's loudest stadium.

I just think we got beat today because we are not a very good football team.

Congrats to Keenum on his NFL debut, he exceeded any expectations I had for him in this game by a huge, huge margin.

So does Keenum get another start or does Kubiak go back to Schaub after the bye week.
