$&#* Kubiak Does

Someone pinch me. The Texans start their 2010 season 2-0! Who do we have to thank? Foster, Schaub, Johnson, and Rackers.

When I watch Texan games, I'm always...ALWAYS questioning Gary Kubiak's coaching abilities.

WHAT IS HE THINKING?!

He lost us the pre-season Cardinal game because of a ridiculous call. But, pre-season is pre-season, and really doesn't count. Perhaps Kubiak has changed his ways?

Fat chance.

We went down early to the Redskins today. And by halftime, we were down 10-20. They scored again, and now we're down 10-27. For Texan fans, that seems like an impossible feat. We've blown plenty of 17 point leads...but have we ever dug ourselves out of one?

Today we did. And I couldn't be happier. Did I give up? No. Did I question everything? YES.

More specifically, we come back...we tie the game...HUZZAH! There's 2min left and we're at 27 all. Herm Edwards comes to mind when he, quite animatedly, said during a post game presser, "YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!" Sounds simple enough. We had time, and timeouts to spare. Instead of going for something...anything...we waste all but 3 seconds, and let the game roll into overtime.

OK. I can get past that, because at least we're in overtime. We win the OT toss...YES! We elect to receive...DOUBLE YES! We take the ball all the way to Washington's 41 yard line. We waste two downs. We're looking at a 4th down. Do we attempt a field goal? No. Kubiak punts.

ARE F-ING KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW???

Fine. What's done is done. I have to "trust" the defense that hasn't really shown me they're top notch this game. OK. Fine. I'm pissed, but miracles happen...to Texan fans.........right?

It's not looking good. Their kicker, Gano, and the FG unit come out onto the field. The Redskins are lookin' at a 52 yard FG. Can he make it? We hope not. There's confusion, he kicks, IT GOES IN, wait...it doesn't count because Kubiak iced him before the snap.

Kudos, Kub. But we never should have let it get that far.

On the kid's next attempt, he misses, the Biergarden goes nuts.

Texans have the ball. They drive, drive, drive, down to the Redskins 25. We try twice more, and can't get anything else. Were those two tries really necessary, Kubiak?!

FINALLY!!! Rackers and our FG unit roll out onto the field. No drama, no icing from Shanahan, he makes it. Neil Rackers makes a 35 yard field goal, and the Texans beat the Redskins in overtime.
