Why Texans?
« on: October 06, 2013, 03:05:10 pm »
So I'm watching football, flipping back and forth between Seattle/Indy and KC/TN. Why in the name of all that's holy can't the Texans have anyone...even Ryan Fitzpatrick...anyone other that Matt Schaub?  They'd be simply unbeatable.

Yes, it was rhetorical. Just lamenting how one player is costing them multiple Super Bowls.

And if not for the fact that his pick in San Diego wasn't run back, it would be 9 straight games. He's a caricature of an NFL QB.

If the other team has 3rd and 8 or more, it's pretty much an automatic first down.

Can that be right?   4 straight games is a new record.  To get to 9 he had to have 4 both sides of the Chargers failed effort.  Right?

Maybe it was 8 then. Either way, this is not a new phenomenon with Schaub.

Counting last week's overtime that went nearly the full 15 minutes, that's now 4 quarters of play in which the offense has scored ZERO points and given away 17.  

How can this be allowed to continue?

He will give TJ the ball now - down 21 points against one of the leagie's best defenses - and say after the game that he did no better than Schaub. 

I'm over the bench Schaub thing.  I'm all about FIRE KUBIAK!!!!!!!!!

Al Michaels is forgetting OT against Seattle.  It's close to 75 minutes of clock time since this offense scored a single, measly, fucking point.  Also, now -24 points in that time.

Seriously. You can see the team quitting in real time.

Kubiak's got bigger problems. Like what's his excuse for Schaub this week.

I would fire Marciano this week for the lone reason that I firmly believe he failed to inform the returner that you are awarded the 20 if the ball is kneeled in the end zone.  It took the up man to finally break the news to wood on the last play.

After totalling 3 points in the last 7 quarters of football, he'd likely order the firing of the offensive coordinator.  Who is that, by the way?

A colleague told me this morning that the 49ers' (W)hitner was interviewed after the game.  He said that their entire strategy was to stop the run and force Schaub to throw.  He said that he knew they would win from the get-go, because Schaub looked terrified.

The Matt Schaub radio spot for BMW still uses his voice, they just removed the part where he says "Matt Schaub here...".

Maybe he's a reverse-tinkerbell:  if we think negative thoughts about him, he'll just disappear.

HPD reports:

Contrary to some reports, there was not a group of "angry fans" outside the Schaub residence on Monday.#hounews

Police were not called to the home. No other information to release at this time. #hounews

If HPD wasn't called to the house and were not there how do they know there weren't a couple of dbags yelling at the Schaub's?

Has Matt addressed the situation with media yet?

Mrs Limey is a Longhorn by birth and TSU by affiliation.  Also, Crystal Palace are 1-6 (in American parlance) to open the Premier League season.  We bought Texans' season tickets this year, and our seats are behind the only other guy in the World, besides Kubiak, who thinks that Schaub is an elite QB.

This D gave up when Schaub was named the starter. And I can't blame them.

Four trips into the red zone, you get 6 points and give up 7.

I would too. But Keenum ain't gonna play. No way, no how. If Schaub some how goes out for an extended period, the Texans will acquire a veteran to back up Yates. But look for Schaub to start next week.

So, what's the catchy motto for the rest of the season?  "Bombing for Boyd"? I've tried to look on the bright side so far this season, but after today there isn't one any more.  This loss was embarrassing and should pretty much signal the end of this season's relevance.  At least a few years ago I expected the Texans to be bad so I was prepared for it and was thrilled at any signs of life.  This just sucks.

Two things I learned from Mrs Limey's front office source at the Texans:

1)  After the media leave, the locker room devolves into Lord of the Flies, with everyone attacking everyone else; and

b)  "Changes are coming" (no timetable).


It seems clear that the coaching staff has lost the team.  If the Special Teams coaches - who should've been fired loooong before now - survive the week, there's something even more wrong with this franchise.  Of course, the change could just as easily be the firing of Phillips because the defense gave up 30+ points the last two weeks.

Who the fuck knows with this owner?

Not that the defense has been great, but they hardly have been solely responsible for the points pile up.  They cannot run onto the field to stop the return of a turnover.  That said, they need to create turnovers and quit commuting dumb penalties.

You're thinking of special teams.

The defense is fine.  It's just worn out and fed up with defending short fields and trying to make stands, knowing that the offense does nothing but rack up points for the opposition.  The may be super-human athletes, but they're still human.

Some crazy Texans stats I've seen this week:
* 1st team since 1940 to outgain opponent by 200+ yards and lose by 25 points.
* Houston has allowed 7 touchdowns when the defense hasn't been on the field this year. Record is 12, set by '99 Miami.

Houston offense: 7th most yards per game in the NFL (396), but 7th fewest points per game (17.7).
Houston defense: Fewest yards allowed per game (253), but 5th most points per game allowed (29.5)

Why? Turnovers.

"So far this season the Texans have given up the ball 15 times and out of these 15 giveaways, opponents have scored touchdowns on 6 of those giveaways (5 pick-sixes) for a total of 42 points. In total, the Texans have given up 66 points off of giveaways (8 of the turnovers led to field goals) - this is equal to 11 giveaway points per game, which is the highest since the 2004 San Francisco 49ers (152 total and 9.5 per game).

"To throw another stat at you, the Texans have had 40% (6/15) of the turnovers lead directly to touchdowns, which is again the highest of any team in the last 24 seasons - 2007 Atlanta Falcons had the highest full season percentage at 29% (7/24). Further, of the 20,660 turnovers over the last 24 seasons, just 1,739 led to touchdowns or just 8.4%."

While they have a point, there's also the matter of terrible play calling in the red zone and a spotty kicker.  Lots of meaningless yardage between the 20s...

In total, the Texans have given up 66 points off of giveaways (8 of the turnovers led to field goals) - this is equal to 11 giveaway points per game, which is the highest since the 2004 San Francisco 49ers (152 total and 9.5 per game).

"To throw another stat at you, the Texans have had 40% (6/15) of the turnovers lead directly to touchdowns, which is again the highest of any team in the last 24 seasons - 2007 Atlanta Falcons had the highest full season percentage at 29% (7/24). Further, of the 20,660 turnovers over the last 24 seasons, just 1,739 led to touchdowns or just 8.4%."

While they have a point, there's also the matter of terrible play calling in the red zone and a spotty kicker.  Lots of meaningless yardage between the 20s...


Has Bullock missed a kick from inside the 40?

4-6 in the 40s, 0-3 from 50+

As with most Texans problems, it primarily stems from an Aggie coach who kept running a Rookie out to kick 50 yarders

Or a coach whose playcalling stalls out before getting to the red zone, but won't use the best (coughAggiecough) punter in NFL history to pin the opposing team inside the 20.

So much stems from the coach.  The play calling; the seemingly willfully negligent clock management; hanging onto clearly incompetent special teams' coaching staff all on top of his marriage to an average-at-best but aging QB who he will protect even to the point of shitting on the functioning elements of the team to deflect criticism.

The only reason this team was playoff worthy recently was the defense.  I don't know, but I suspect Kubiak was not instrumental in getting Phillips on board, but was instrumental in getting Schaub's ridiculous contract extension after one game last season.  He makes bad decisions on micro and macro scales.  The culpability for the team's ongoing struggles is rolling uphill - the buck stops on McNair's desk.

Fire Kubiak, install Wade as interim HC and get him someone who can  run an offense.  The Colts are only +2 games, and we still are yet to play them.  This isn't beyond redemption, but it is with Kubiak at the helm.

Would've been better to start him at home last week, against a lesser opponent.  But that's just Kubiak thinking outside the box.

Schaub wasn't hurt last week.  

They should have put Case in once TJ was foundering and forfeited the game, but given Keenum some reps.

Agreed on all fronts.  But people (actual journos) were making the case for Case to start last week anyway.

The important thing is that, now the reality that the #1 and #2 QBs can't cut it, Keenum gets some time to evaluate his prospects before next year's draft.

I think Case was inactive and not dressed out last week.  Actually, I think this week is going to be the first time this season he's even going to be on the active roster on game day.

Keenum was not active last Sunday. In fact, this will be the first time he actually gets to wear a uniform in a regular NFL game.

Unfortunately, I fear that he's going to be wearing a bunch of Chiefs all day, too. This will definitely be a trial by fire.

The last time I looked I was leading the league in points scored against which is basically an annual certainty but several of my losses were due to blistering incompetence and fuckwittery, just complete roster mismanagement.

If you spend a draft pick on a kicker, the bastard needs to make about half the 50+ yarders.  Bullock sucks.
