27 - Houston Texans - Holy Moly a change at QB gave them a spark, till HC Gary Kubiak fell to the ground on SNF, the season fell at the same time he did.

28 - Pittsburgh Steelers - Beatings by the Raiders and than an absolute beatdown by the Patriots will make you a sucky team

29 - Atlanta Falcons - This team is as confusing as the Texans they were suppose to be a great team, what HAPPENED.

30 - Minnesota Vikings - You wonder how they manged to beat the Steelers, and now the Redskins come calling on Thursday.

31 - Jacksonville Jaguars - Whomp whomp no QB no defense and they suspended troubled WR Justin Blackmon off the team.

32 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Just like Jacksonville expect they also have no head coach, if their were 40 teams, they'd be number 40.

Texans post day thoughts: Week 9 edition

Any one remember the Texans played a game on SNF and lost? During halftime as the teams were heading in to the locker room Texans HC Gary Kubiak collapsed untouched on his way back to the locker room. Which seemingly halted every inch of momentum the Texans gained up to the that point.

Texans started off the 1st half of the game playing the football we had all hoped they were capable of at the start of the season. Case Keenum sliced and diced the Colts secondary to the tune of 208 yards on 9 completions, 7 completions went Andre Johnson's way for 190 yards. Ben Tate hobbled by injures even gave you 14 carries for 47 yards, this offensive explosion was good for a 21- 3 lead over the division leading Colts.

The second half started with Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips taking over the head coach headset as Gary Kubiak was on the way to the hospital. And as mentioned before the momentum the Texans had, left with Kubiak as he rode to the hospital. The Colts outscored, out gained, and out coached the Texans in every aspect of the game in the final half of the game. Colts pulled out the miracle win killing the Texans season and cementing the Colts as one of the elite teams in the NFL

Below are the post game comments from Colts TY Hilton and Robert Mathis
      

Texans vs. Colts preview SNF edition

Texans at 2-5 as goofy as it sounds still control their own destiny in the AFC South. While that may be a pipe dream in all actuality it is safe to say crazier things have happened in football. Last season the Texans started hot but faded in the end, could this season be the inverse of last season, struggle but ball out the rest of the season?

This game against the Colts as cliche as it sounds is a MUST WIN, Do or Die or whatever else you want to say. The 2 and 5 Texans have 0 wiggle room the rest of the season, for the rest of the season it’s pretty much win or plan on which top 10 draft pick you are going to take next season.

Texans at the start of the week ended all speculation and named undrafted free agent, last years practice squad QB Case Keenum the starter for the second week in a row over. The Texans are heading in to this game with a question mark at running back going in to the game both Arian Foster and Ben Tate could both play but no way will either be at 100 percent. The Colts on the other side will be with a future hall of famer on offense in WR Reggie Wayne and you wonder how Andrew Luck will fair not having Wayne to throw too. Last season Wayne caught 1,300 plus yards and this season had 500 plus it’s a huge part of their offense that is now gone.

The big match up tomorrow will be between Colts Robert Mathis (DE) vs. Texans Derek Newton (RT) no doubt Mathis is good for at least one sack tomorrow but if you let Mathis tee off on Case Keenum the Texans will have a VERY long day. Look for the Texans to help out tremendously on Newton’s side with TE’s or RB’s chipping him all day long. This is a MAJOR MATCH UP the Texans have to win, limit Mathis and Texans chances on winning improving by 1,000 percent.  

Gunslinger Gets A Second Start

Texans last week went about the mindset of checking the tape and improving going forward. Today coach Kubiak named the Gunslinger Case Keenum the starter for Sunday Night Football against the AFC South leading Indianapolis Colts. The saying all along was when Matt Schaub is healthy he will get his starting job back, and spoiler alert Schaub is healthy and will back up Keenum.

Coaches must have seen something from Case Keenum that no other QB has given them this year. Keenum in one game was able to do something we haven’t seen in a long time, give the team a down field passing attack. If not for a pass that went straight through the fingertips of Garrett Graham you could have seen a team go in and beat the best team in the NFL (Chiefs).

Case Keenum will now have plenty of time to get ready for the Colts, not having to split time with TJ Yates like going in to the Chiefs game. He will now take all the snaps as QB 1 as the starter going in to the game with Colts. Teammates on offensive and defensive have made it clear that Keenum brings that certain something to the QB position a certain X-factor that the team needs in these remaining games. Coach Kubiak made it clear that Keenum is only the starter for the Colts and like always will continue to evaluate going forward
