Houston Texas Week 5 - Giant Manhandling

This is very brief cause I really don't have the words to describe the levels of ineptness the Texans showed last Sunday.

The Texans played another bad home game. Not even close. The NY Giants owned the Texans from the start and never looked back.

Offense - awful. Putrid. Horrible. The couldn't run, pass or block. WR dropped passes. Matt Schaub had at least three passes batted down at the line. I can see one or two tips. Three or more means you need to make an adjustment passing with a little more air under the ball.

Defense - read above. The return of Brian Cushing didn't make one bit a difference. The safeties were terrible. The coverages called were mind boggling. To much zone 5 yards off the ball. No pass rush to speak of. I'm starting to doubt Frank Bush as the defensive coordinator.

Special teams were special all right. Especially bad. Three holdings on a return only dug deeper holes for the struggling offense to dig out of. An offside on a field goal attempt gave the Giants a first down. The Giants went onto score a TD instead of three on that drive. And is Steve Slaton really the best option for returning kick offs?

In a nut shell, the Texans are regressing during the season instead of improving. That's not a good sign of things go come.

I hate to say it but next week's game against the Chiefs is a must win. A 4-2 start is better looking than the usual 3-3 mediocrity. They can the try and regroup during the open week.
