At this point, I'm beginning to think the Rosenfels supporters are right. Schaub killed us today. The running game was surprisingly good, defense was decent. But Schaub was just awful. He was the opposite of David Carr (but just as shitty) - he spent too little time in the pocket, making terrible throws and failing to get anything done. Christ, it was bad. 3 interceptions (to be fair, one came after a blown false start call). Two fumbles. Just awful.
The good news is that the Texans have found their new running back. Steve Slayton was awesome. He rushed 17-116 (6.8 yds/carry) against one of the best run-stopping defenses in the league. Even if you don't count his 50 yard run, he's still got a 3.9 average. Damn fine. The guy was absolutely fearless, diving through his blocking and gaining yards after contact. That takes guts, especially for a guy who's only 5' 9". That's shorter than I am! I wouldn't have the balls to do that, but he took on the Titans defense head-on. Hells yeah!
Here's the real problem the Texans had: capitalizing on their gains. Houston only had 26 fewer yards than Tennessee. But they were totally unable to do anything with it. Schaub just couldn't complete a pass to save his life, so any time the Texans found themselves in the red zone, they had to settle for 3.
God, I hate the Titans. I hope, when Adams dies, he fucking burns in hell. It's stupid to wish eternal damnation on a man for a sports team, but I want at least that much from the universe. It's only fair at this point.
