Those boo birds at Reliant Stadium are going to be extra loud if we lose to an undrafted rookie quarterback tomorrow but I'm not going to be surprised. I still think the Raiders can win this game. I'm going to enjoy the game on CBS at 12 noontime. I wish it kicked off right now.


Hope for your sake Tyler Wilsongod doesn't come in and lay the smackdown on you guccis.

I fear that Matt McGloin is going to make a name for himself in this game a lot like unknown Ryan Fitzpatrick did eight years ago.

Rookie from Harvard Ryan Fitzpatrick throws for 310 yards and three TDs in a 33-27 OT win over the Texans back in 2005.



We blew a 24-3 halftime lead in that game. We've blown a 21-3 and 20-3 halftime lead this season (against Colts and Seahawks).

We went 2-14 that season. We still have a chance to go 2-14 in 2013 if we lose out. So many similarities between this season and that season it's not even funny. The only difference is we have more talent this year but talent doesn't win games in the NFL.

If you're a Texans fan you are used to these type of things so we're immune to the mental anguish of it all.

13 hours until game time. Are you ready draino? A 2-8 record is on the way. The first overall pick is going to be ours. I'm already anticipating the booing fest at Reliant Stadium when the Raiders and Jaguars beat us in our own house. By the way is it Matt or Matthew McGloin? I guess he goes by both names. He'll probably become a household name after today. LOL

197 passing yards with 3 TDs (no turnovers) for Matthew McGloin, who played like a seasoned veteran and was very impressive stepping back in the pocket. If not for several dropped passes he would have easily had closer to 250 yards passing with 4 TD passes. He beat us 28-23 in regulation. Just another unknown rookie quarterback who makes a name for himself by beating the Houston Texans on the road.

Now we are 2-8 with six games left. Our last six games: Jaguars, Patriots, at Jaguars, at Colts, Broncos, at Titans.

At best, we may win two of those games but honestly, the way we are playing I don't believe we'll win another game this season. We will finish the 2013 season with a 2-14 record and 14 losses in a row. With the first pick in the 2014 NFL Draft... The Houston Texans select...

I remember that game.

I don't think Kubiak did any favors for his job security by bringing Matt Schaub in. Keenum has been playing very well. That move kind of boggled me.

My opinion? At the end of the season, fire Kubiak, cut Schaub, TJ Yates, and Foster. Let Tate walk because he's going to get overpayed.

I know its radical but our efforts should clearly be placed upon rebuilding and getting a good draft pick (ie tanking). Foster has been going downhill health-wise for years now and it's pretty well known that a RB's success has a lot to do with the O-line, so I say we get a cheap option at RB and try to beef up our O-line instead.

I believe Case Keenum is very capable of improving and eventually being able to beat the blitz once we improve the offensive line and running back position. But these last four games that he started have been very predictable to watch in the second half. He greatly falters once he sees a heavy dose of various blitz packages. I knew the Raiders were going to win this game. Ben Tate and his broken ribs, and all of our undrafted rookie RBs, are not good at picking up the blitz like Arian Foster was. And to that fact, we have no running game at all on offense right now and our offensive line continues to be mandhandled in the trenches.

Gary Kubiak already went back to Matt Schaub, probably lost faith in Case Keenum like I have as well, and this season is a train wreck at 2-8. We have six games left and I don't think things will improve until the off-season. I expect a total roster overhaul and possibly the entire coaching staff replaced.

If we bring in a new head coach he's not likely to make Case Keenum his starting quarterback going into 2014. It will be a total roster overhaul. We may even have to think about drafting a quarterback in round one like Teddy Bridgewater, Marcus Mariota (if he declares) or Johnny Manziel.

But our defense is so horrible we could use an elite defensive player to pair with J.J. Watt like Jadeveon Clowney, Anthony Barr or C.J. Mosley. Also Jake Matthews would solidify our offensive line for the next twelve years. We may be better off trading down even if we do end up with the first overall pick. We will definitely be picking in the top five regardless.

We have many needs on both sides of the football. The good news: The 2014 NFL Draft is a deep draft class and we can solve most of our needs.

LOL, the Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson fight at the end of the game with some laser red eyes.



The race for the first overall pick in 2014

1. Jacksonville Jaguars 1-9
2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2-8
3. Minnesota Vikings 2-8
4. Houston Texans 2-8
5. Atlanta Falcons 2-8

We still have the 4th overall pick at 2-8 but we play the Jaguars twice in the next three games. If we lose both games we'll move closer to the number one pick. Also our opponent winning percentage will go lower playing the Jaguars twice. That's the tiebreaker at the moment between four teams (having an easier schedule). But we still play the Broncos, Patriots and Colts so we'll probably only own the tiebreaker with Atlanta and not Minnesota and Tampa Bay. So we will need those two teams to win a 3rd game.

I still want Jadeveon Clowney to be honest. Our defense is so messed up but if we pair Clowney with Watt, we'll have two beasts playing in our front seven that both command a double team. Watt had two sacks in the game today but he was our only source of pass rush.

We could also draft Anthony Barr, Jake Matthews or C.J. Mosley which would all fill huge needs in the first round. Or if we decide to go with a quarterback in round one: Teddy Bridgewater, Marcus Mariota or Johnny Manziel if those guys enter the draft as expected. We have so many needs, including a poor secondary, that we may have to trade down and pick up an extra pick or two.

You will definitely know the Texans are tanking if they fall behind 21-0 at home against the Jaguars on Sunday. Chad Henne almost beat us in Houston last season (we won 43-37 in overtime) but he threw for 354 passing yards with 4 TDs and 0 INTs in that game.

I also expect Maurice Jones-Drew to have his best game of the 2013 season on Sunday. Look for the Jaguars to steam roll the Texans, 38-13. I believe this is going to be our most embarrassing loss yet. The entire team already quit to be honest. We have no heart or pride. Hopefully the new head coach that comes in will turn this shitty franchise around.
