Yes, seriously I love watching the Texans. Why? Because I always feel like I am back home in Cleveland. Because the Texans are exactly like the Browns. They find creative ways to win but mostly lose games.
Take last week's Texans game for example. Texans have the Colts beat but blow a 17 point lead and lose.
Just take a look at the series of events.
(1) Colts score to make it 27-17 Texans and the Colts don't get the onside kick
(2) Sage Rosenfels fumbles after getting hit by a defensive back and the Colts pick up the ball and return it for a touchdown so now its 27-24
(3) Next drive Rosenfels feels the pressure tries to make something out of nothing runs outside gets hit by Robert Mathis and fumbles again.
(4) Colts takeover and Manning finds Reggie Wayne to go up 31-27
(5) Houston gets the ball back and Rosenfels throws an interception.
I couldn't dream up a worst ending to a game. Disney, Spike Lee, no one could write a worse ending to a game.
In the Texans defense they did win this week but they couldn't just easily beat the Dolphins. They ended last week with 3 straight turnovers so of course they begin yesterday's game with 2 turnovers.
The Texans trail going into the 4th quarter so you're like here we go again. Then at the end of the game Andre Johnson makes an aerobatic impossible catch on 4th down to keep their drive alive. Later in the drive with 3 seconds left in the game Matt Schaub, who only had 17 rushing attempts all of last season, decides he a running QB and runs straight up the middle for the game winning score.
So all I can think at this point is how the Houston special teams was going to mess this up. However, they don't kick it deep and the Texans actually get there first win of the year.
People with heart problems shouldn't watch these games. Keep the phone by the TV is all I can say.
