What an ugly win today, an UGLY win. For about 59 minutes and 10 seconds I was mad out of my mind. ANGRY, if you will. Terrible play call mixed in with terrible play was very frustrating to watch. We couldn't run the ball, we averaged 2.5 yards a carry against the worst run defense in the league. They ran the ball and passed well ALL game. Their passing stats may not show it, but they made some key 3rd down conversions with their passing play. Our passing game wasn't half bad, considering how bad it seemed on on the field. Matt Schaub at 294 yards passing today. That one pick wasn't his fault. I forget who it was intended to, but the receiver looked afraid to catch that ball on the play.

This is the controversial block by Trent Green that resulted in his concussion. I'm with TJ on this one, however I do think his words in the locker room were uncalled for yet true. Trent Green tried to hit TJ's knees on the play while TJ wasn't looking. This is a cheap block. VERY cheap. TJ was lucky he didn't have a broken knee, broken arm, or broken neck on the play. I don't want to say Trent Green deserved this injury, but he definitely brought it upon himself. I'll be praying for him for the rest of the season, or however long it is until he gets back.

Ronnie Brown ran all over our defense today, we just couldn't tackle the guy. It was annoying seeing all of our people just arm "tackle" him all game. We also made Cleo Lemon look like a probowler, much like we did Harrington last week. The one good thing about our defense is that we held them to field goals when we needed to. They had 4 field goals and a touchdown on the day.

On offense we looked equally inept as last week. With all our injurys to the receviers, you would think the passing game would be our worst problem, right? Wrong. Rushing today we had 60+ yards. 2.5 yards a carry will simply not cut it. The only good thing to come out of our rushing "attack" would be the play action worked well. Again 294 yards passing for Matt Schaub isn't half bad. Andre Davis is playing like this is his last game in the NFL. And 2 weeks ago, it probably would have. But after another 70 yard day, I say he's probably going to stay on the roster for a little while.

Somehow we won riding the boot of Kris Brown today, as he kicked a monsterous 57 yard field goal to win the game with 1 second left on the clock. He broke the franchise record for longest field goal 3 seperate times today. He's also only the 3rd player to kick 3 50+ yard field goals in a game. I wonder how many kickers have kicked 3 54+ field goals in one game?
