Last Minute Winning Drives

Lulz?

 

I remember one by David Carr where he sneaked one in last minute against Jacksonville. I'm sure there have been others but that was one that came to mind.

 

The Schaubster had a game winning QB draw against Miami in 2008. I am not making this up.

 

David Carr jumping over the goal-line. Matt Schaub running into the end zone against Miami. I'm pretty sure we've beaten the Patriots and the Colts on game-winning FGs. There was obviously the TJ Yates GW drive from a few seasons ago that put us in the playoffs. What about Schaub's throw to AJ to force OT against the Redskins?? The crazy Jacksonville game where AJ broke that 70 yard TD to win the game in OT a couple of seasons ago. I mean, is it really that hard to remember??

 

They only won 2 games last year, but weren't both on last minute drives/comebacks? In 2012, they had back-to-back OT wins, so those would both have been last possession wins.

 

Schaub had 14 game winning drives as a Texan, and he'd probably have had closer to 25 of them if the defense wasn't as terrible as it was for his first 4 years with the team. Numerous times we'd come back to take the lead in the last minute or two, but the defense would manage to give that lead up in the remaining time.

 

Schaub led an epic comeback on Monday Night against the Ravens and then proceeded to throw a gamelosing pick 6 in OT.

Texans/Schaub encapsulated.

 

There have been 27 game winning drives in Texans history excluding the preseason.

That's all of the stats for everyone who has thrown a pass for the Texans

 

He had the team is position to win or tie four games in 2009 alone - a guy named Brown (Chris or Kris) mucked it up each time.

Too many Texan fans vastly underrated Schaub during his prime ('08-'12). I think 16 weeks of Ryan Fitzpatrick might finally jolt some people out of their vitriolic haze.

 

No, they will just say we have never had a good QB.

 

And be correct.

 

No, they wouldn't, they'd just have a very short memory.

 

That would have only worked if he left after the '12 complaints. Leaving now, everyone will just compare against last year. Fitzpatrick won't be worse than that

 

Nobody hated on Schaub much when he was making Pro Bowls. Everyone understood that he was a good QB.

If there was one thing to hate on it was the lack of conversions in the red zone, which was a valid point.

Real hate started in 2012/2013. In 2012 he had putrid performances on national TV, and was embarrassing in the Pats postseason game. 2013 was one of the worst performances of any QB.

 

I'll take the current version of Fitz over the current version of Schaub any day.

He's been so bad in Oakland that I actually feel bad for the guy. I mean, I am literally sad for him.

He may have more 3-and-outs than completions at this point. Someone can check on that.
