Texans decided to start Case Keenum at Arrowhead. After his career at UH and being such an underdog type of guy, he will instantly be a hero if he can somehow get a win. With the Texans D still playing fairly well and going up against a KC offense that they match up better than the more explosive offenses, I don't think it's that far fetched. The Texans are my 2nd favorite team (after the Saints). Since Houston has so many transplants, I'm guessing the Texans are the 2nd favorite team for most of the city. They have never quite closed the gap for me though as they are still a distant 2nd. Or maybe they will continue their skid, fire Kubiak, hire Sumlin, and then draft Johnny douchebag so that Sumlin can coach both of his former QBs.
Case Keenum is in for a rude awakening. People are still sleeping on KC. This defense is for real. Like really for real.
Maybe they tried to poison Kubiak instead of fire him? What a strange turn of events for Kubiak last night.
I think he knew what was coming. He got the fuck up out of there. Now he has the sympathy vote. Well played.
Keenum had his best game ever as a pro in his second start. Will never match it. Kubiak found the only way to lose this game and did it. Amazing.
This is the week Bum Phillips dies, and his son shits the bed in the 2nd half. Was it just me, or putting single coverage on Indy's only offensive threat in the 2nd half on 3 successful TD drives about as fucked up a strategy as you could possibly come up with? You were better off leaving Heyward-Bey with nobody covering him. He would have figured out a way to fuck it up, trust me.
Watching the Dan Lebatard Highly Questionable show. They talked about Andrew Luck and how clutch he has been in his career. Bomani Jones, who is now a regular on the show, asked why NO ONE in the media ever says anything critical about Andrew Luck? Lebatard agreed with him about that fact. I agree with Jones, Luck was God awful for 3 quarters and the main reason they were down 24-6 in the first place, but you'll never hear anything about it. Yeah, you're going to have chances to come from behind if you play shitty enough for 3 quarters to allow the opponent to win the game. Credit to him to play the way he does late in games. But he is far from elite. Like Bomani said, he is "good" but not "great".
He's elite. He beat Denver, Seahawks and the 49ers. Does he have bad games, sure. But it's how the elite players respond to adversity. Russell Wilson often looks like garbage then responds. Yesterday was a typical example. But both are winners. Unlike romo who has all world stats. Yet often chokes the bigger the game is. Beyond the boxscore.
