Mario Williams is gone for the season. Oh wait, so is our STARTING and BACKUP QBs, in Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart respectively. Hell, I'm probably forgetting a few guys. Now who are we rolling with in week 14? A ROOKIE QB drafted in the FIFTH round named TJ Yates. The entire team has his back, and it shows. This guy is cool, calm, and poised. He's made a few mistakes, sure... but he's confident and gets it done. Sure last week vs ATL the home crowd certainly helped, but the entire city of Houston is behind TJ and the Texans. Today against the Bengals we showed how resilient a team we really are. We played pretty badly for 3 quarters, but managed to not give up and keep cool. The last 3 or 4 minutes of that game was amazing to watch. Two minutes left, no timeouts and TJ takes us 80 yds for a TD. The 17 yd QB rush on 3rd and 15 was awesome.
As a Texans fan I'm elated that we finally have taken the next step and won the division, on our way to the playoffs for the first time. Hell, we still might be able to secure a first round bye. I believe the road to the Superbowl goes through either New England or Pittsburgh, and Houston will be there to meet them head on. The Steelers don't concern me, we beat them 17-10 in week 4.
Why not the Houston Texans and TJ Yates?
Fuck Tim Tebow.
