Dude! What the heck were YOU thinking? Good game, for the Texans, but THAT play was just asinine.

Heard that people were lighting his jersey on fire and throwing it into his front yard.

Yeah, that play was REALLY bad. However, the overall failure was with Yates throwing RIGHT to the other team. Hopefully, he will learn and we'll be better offensively next year, especially since our QBs should be healed. Great season, Texans!

I find it really hard to blame him, it was his 7th start and a second round playoff game at that. I applaud him for never getting scared to throw the ball deep even with the interceptions. He had a good game for a rookie with 7 starts.
Good job Yates.

My point was that it was more of Yates' fault than Jones and his bone-headed play. For a rookie, Yates DID do a great job and I give that to him; I know he was under a lot of pressure. However, even Kubiak said that Yates has been making a lot of mistakes in previous games, but those mistakes didn't turn into interceptions like they did in this game. If you look at the replays, he threw some passes that a veteran QB wouldn't have thrown... Not that I could do any better

Brett Favre would beg to differ.

He messed that one up, but I can remember several times this season where he made great plays...

Think about it, after all the injuries, no one expected them to get this far... I think we have a great team in place, and if Wade Phillips comes back with the team next year, we'll be in the hunt for the AFC championship...

As bad as Jones' play was, I hate it when people take it out on one player for a bad play.
Jones wasn't the only that played and there's a lot of other people that also messed up.

Besides, if Jones is so bad, it's the coach's fault that he was on the field.

I'm mad about his mistake, but we can't go on a witchhunt because a guy made a mistake.

Jones' punt return drop led to a TD, as did his kick return drop, or was that just a FG?
