I love how all the analysts were picking the Skins over Houston because the Skins beat the mighty Cowboys! Good job Texans!
His team was down big and rallied. I am unwilling to kill him for one decision even though I didn't like that decision. Besides, these teams are not in the deserving business. This is not figure skating. Games are not won on look and feel.
it was a really poor decision, and if you have no other rooting interest, it's nice to see people bear the consequences.
You can certainly say that Kubiak didn't deserve to lose the game because they came back, but I have no idea what "not being in the deserving business" means. Of course teams and coaches sometimes don't deserve to win a game if they do because of luck, or in spite of boneheaded play or decisions - that doesn't mean they won't take it, but nothing I said has anything to do with winning on look or feel.
It's bad for the Jets because Houston is in the AFC, and it could affect the wild card or home playoff seeding. You always root for an NFC team over an AFC team if you don't have any other rooting interest.
My point was that I *don't care who deserves to win or lose a game. Kubiak did not pass on a 36-yd FG. Rackers attempting a 50+ yarder would have been scary. Forgoing a FG try was not the bad decision in my opinion. Where I had the problem is that Turk punted. I think Houston should have tried to get a 1st down or they should have had Schaub execute a quick kick. You wrote that Kubiak did not deserve to win as if to say it is a joke or bad or wrong that Houston's 45 players today didn't deserve the win. I'm not keen on the phrase "didn't deserve to win". *there may have been cases where a ref messed up a game late (see SD-DEN 2008) and I wrote something like, "so and so deserved to win this game", but generally I look to avoid making comments like that
