How can a team loose like they have been the past 3 or 4 games?

2 blocked kicks today.

sheesh.

u know thats what i thought.. coach didnt even care it looked like. and the last kick? it wasnt blocked. he just shanked it SOOOO bad. it was like if u put me out there 2 kick. he missed it and then he walked away. thats it. some lineman evern had smiles on their faces

although after Dominic Davis's play today and their O-Line play, I cant see them taking Reggie Bush. They'd be crazy not to fix their O-Line.

I'm glad we got a win, but you're right, it didn't feel as satisfying as it should have.

although after Dominic Davis's play today and their O-Line play, I cant see them taking Reggie Bush.Clearly Davis doesn't want them to get Bush... :ha:

The short field goal with no time on the clock was not even close. It was as if Dom Capers asked Kris Brown to intentionally miss the kick.

Im thinking that Al Del Greco and Kris Brown traded places for a day

it was said on the post game show that Houston's kicker might have been hurt after running for the 1st down on the fake field goal. No confirmed reports though

Didn't he successfully kick a FG after that though?

no, that one was blocked. he made one in the first quarter.

He made five last week and we didn't win. As much as I would hate to think we are throwing games, I hate even more to admit we are just this bad. Every team in the league knows that David Carr is not allowed to audible to a pass. Every time he audibles, its a run. The defense just has to figure out which side. Most of the time it is going to be to the Texans left because that is where our better o-lineman are.

Why would Capers do that, he's going to be fired at the seasons end anyway?

Dear Santa,

Please let the Texans hire Schwartz for the soon to be vacant Head Coaching job.
We need to get rid of him.

i'm telling you, Domanick Davis is a top 5 RB behind anything resembling a line. He's way ahead of the other RB's from his draft class (Larry Johnson, Willis McGahee, Chris Brown) he's one of the better receiving RB's in the game

if for some stupid reason Houston takes Reggie Bush and not D'Brickashaw, he will likely suck and Houston will need to offload DomD.

I honestly don't think Houston is trying to throw football games to draft #1, but their last 3 games could make a conspiracy theorist believe that's what's going on.
I wonder if this will create a clamor for an NBA-style draft structure with a lottery among the non-playoff teams.

it really not in Houston's best interest to pick #1

they don't need Reggie and they might not be any better with Matt

but they could improve with D'Brickashaw
and a new coach (let's hope they interview Schwartz)

That FG attempt at the end of the game was ridiculous.
That ball was closer to the pylon that the upright...
It looked like they took the "sofa express best seat in the house" winner, slapped a texans uni on him and sent him out for the attempt...

hey Gunny, wasn't that Reynaldo with the "game saving" face mask tackle?

oh yeah, already brought it up somewhere else. And I saw it on the fastest 3 minutes on the Sunday Night game.

I hate to say so, but I have watched their final three finishes......It sure looks like they are. They should have won all three of their final games, but they lost all three....Its pathetic really.

Even if we had a NBA type lottery you would have the #3, #4 or whatever teams blowing games to get into the lottery.

I was beginning to wonder who was trying harder to lose yesterday them or us...

This is truly sad if teams honestly compete to lose, what's next teams competing to get T.O just for national attention!~ I have almost completly bought into the theory that the Texans have written this season off. I love baseball in the spect that so many teams that were completly out of it played to spoil! As a fan of the sport I would like to see every team compete as professionals until those cleats are hanging in the locker room for the season.

MNF did the 60 seconds with Jimmy Kinnel last night. It showed the Texans dumping water on Kris Brown has Kris Brown yelled "We want Reggie" or something to that effect. It was hilarious, and quite possibly true.


Kris Browns kick was awful(first time I saw it was yesterday)

That was Hilarious :ha: :ha: :ha:

Even if the Texans don't want Reggie. (which they would be crazy not to) I can guarantee that they will let teams know that they will draft him, just for bargaining posture.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a trade for the #1.

It's not sad when teams play to lose. It's smart.

Winning garbage games that mean zilch is a dumb move. You want your draft slot worth as much as possible. You want the best place possible...when you suck atleast.

You don't start 2-9 and try to win your last 5 games. It's stupid. Plain and simple.




I know, you guys believe all that mumbo jumbo sportsmanship, play to have fun, play your hardest every snap of every game, but the goal remains the same.

Whether you're 2-13 going into your last game...whether you're 16-0 heading to the playoffs....your goal is to WIN THE SUPERBOWL.

Difference is....when you aren't gonna make playoffs - making the superbowl is the goal for NEXT season. So do you want a crappy draft slot and a "project" type player that'll be ready in 3 years....or do you want someone that can contribute during your fresh start?


Winning these games is pointless.

reading your post was pointless.

winning a game, a home game in particular, is a big deal.

E - you're putting a lot of stock in the draft aren't you?

"It's not sad when teams play to lose. It's smart." - are you a fan or do you just like to type a lot? This franchise has never won a superbowl and it could be years before we do. I start the season wanting to get to the play offs and ultimately the super bowl like everyone else. I don't start rooting for us to suck after we've been mathematically eliminated - thats just odd. A high draft slot doesn't really mean anything past the first pick - may be second. Do you see this team being turned around by 2 rookies?.....You probably do - nevermind.

The Bengals had the (or near the) top draft pick for about 15 years and never even made the playoffs.

Yeah, and how's that #1 draft pick working out for San Fran? Hmmm, seems like Chicago (who's starting a 4th round pick that Floyd almost selected, btw) is 9-4 and heading at least to the wild card...Not to mention Detroit's last three high picks.

He is not ahead of Larry Johnson, no way. Larry Johnson is top 5 in rushing in the league, despite not starting the first 6 or 7 games. Johnson has put 140 yard games up easily, and leads the league in rushing average, with over 5 yards a rush. He is great...
