Praying for amnesia
Oct 16, 2007 2007 Season, Anger, Demarcus Faggins sucks, Kris Brown's golden leg, Teams that aren't the Texans
Oh. Yeah.
I suppose I should mention something about that game. And it should probably be more substantive than “that was more painful than watching a botched abortion in HD.” Then again, I don’t know what there is worth saying. Basically, we played like ass. Baboon ass. Hemorrhoid-ridden baboon ass.
I am not overly rational at this point.
Where to start? How about with our favorite whipping boy, Petey Faggins? He started the game getting picked on, because the Jags apparently have videotape of our games. He tried to redeem himself with good positioning and play on the fade to Jones. He then decided that playing well was itchy and uncomfortable for him, so he got flagged for illegal contact–his favorite of all the penalties–on a 3rd & 7, when we’d actually made a stop. Nice one.
As bad as Faggins continues to be, however, one would be hard-pressed to pin this loss on him. That’s because blaming him would be ignoring the 500-lb. elephant in the room–that we are incapable of scoring in the red zone. (Well, other than Kris Brown.) Oh, and we are incapable of establishing a running game. Plus, our vaunted run defense seems to have gone the way of dodo birds and Trent Green’s attention span. So, I suppose there are three elephants in the room. Goddamned elephants.
Fuck. The good news is, um…that we are 3-3? …that we will get Andre Johnson back at some point? …that we have pretty uniforms? Fuck.
The only way I’m going to keep myself sane is to ignore last week and start focusing on next weekend.

Sweet.

Things that made the Texans/Fucktards game a little more bearable:
I was in Vegas
I “only” bet $20 on the Texans
The TVs switched away to a different game once MJD did his Karate Kid impersonation
a quick aside: the quality of the NFL officials on Sunday not named Ed Hochuli or Mike Carey — shameful.

The quality of the officiating did not come across on radio as horrible, but everything I’ve raid says that it was beyond ridiculous. How is it possible to have such poor officiating, when these guys have one game per week, get film to prepare them for players’ tendencies, AND are only responsible for a limited amount of the universe of nfl officiating?

My only consolation is that the Titans shit the bed as well, and we get them at home next week. Anyways, it’s nice and cool down here in the cellar.

I relish the idea of Mario teeing off on Kerry Collins. It makes my heart smile.

This one did hurt, its just frustrating. We take 1 step forward and then another 3 steps back.
P.S. Dont ever wait so long to post an update, I was freaking visiting chron.com/sports more and more for texans news. How could you let us resort to that.

Ewww. I am sorry. No one should ever have to resort to that. I only check Chron to see if they have done anything worth making fun of or bitching about.
