Bad tanking.... again

Well. Not to mention the NBA has a lottery now and it would guarantee them nothing.

Quote:My God. You've said so much ridiculous garbage YOU can't even keep it straight. More than once, in this very thread, you accused Schaub of being in on the tank. And now you're saying they're tanking because he ISN'T going to play.


And I'm the clown.


LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!
 

Schaub's INT in the 4th Q was so bad that if you didn't at least suspect something shady going on, then you probably need a drool bucket underneath you. 

 

His play otherwise in that game was the only bright spot the Texans had. He gives that team more chance to win than Keenum does, thats for sure. 

 

Bottom line is, McNair want the #1 pick, Thats the priority and has been the priority since probably about the midway point of this season. 

 

Continue to pretend like its not happening.

So was Schaub trying to win the game or lose the game?

Well now you've backpedaled. First, he was put in to play legitimately and this coaching decision was a breach of agreement between Owner and Coach, leading to him getting fired and now you say Schaub was trying to throw the game. Which one is it?

So a quarterback that is likely to be released in the offseason intentionally threw an INT? Wait...who needs the "drool bucket"?

We'll never know.  He was paid hush money.

Yep. They don't want to hear that though. Pretending their billion dollar entity is pristine is more important to them. 

 

Quote:Fair point. I have to give you that one.
 

:thumbsup: :yes: 

 

Quote:So Schaub is or isn't in on it? Which is it?
 

already answered this to the best hypothesis I have

I know. This is all very complicated. It really just depends on which one of his posts you want to read.


Fish out of water....flop...flop...flop.

These days the NBA is little more than the WWE on hardwood.  We should definitely model the NFL business plan after them.

Maybe Kubiak and Schaub had already cashed their tanking checks from McNair. But were so upset that they went into the locker room at halftime and concocted a scheme to get back at McNair by trying to win the game. Keenum benched, Schaub in and the Texans make the game close. Schaub then turns against Kubiak and tells McNair about the plan. McNair tells Schaub to keep it close, miss a 4th down throw, throw a pick to Hayes and then get sacked to end the game. McNair pays Schaub that severence bonus, fires Kubiak, tells Phillips to play Keenum and if he does, he'll get an interview for HC but at the least remain on board.

 

How this is not obvious to everyone with a brain...I don't understand.

How is it a backpedal? 

 

Schaub was playing pretty much flawlessly. Then came the INT that might have been the biggest head scratching decision I've ever seen from a QB. 

 

Considering the circumstances, its something that just didn't look right.

Because the given scenario would contradict what you theorized earlier about Kubiak's firing being a result of putting Schaub in the game to disrupt the tank.

It seemed like he was trying to win the game up until that INT. Maybe that was part of the plan. The way the Colts played in weeks 15 & 16 of 2011 when there was a cushion between them and the closest suitor for the number one pick is the same thing on a bigger scale. Helped to give the "appearance" that they were still trying to win. Yesterday, The Texans played "well enough to lose"....same thing smaller scale. 

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Texans actually win a game if some cushion develops between them and the next closest team to the #1 pick before the season ends.

If you can prove it, the person responsible would be guilty of fraud, face a jail term, and the team would face a probable class action lawsuit from season ticket holders.   And in addition the person responsible would probably be permanently expelled from the NFL.  

 

It would be pure, down and dirty dishonesty.   Fraud.

Man, if you believe that crap, you probably believe in the Loch Ness monster and the tooth fairy.  

 

No one is going to take the legal and financial risk of intentionally losing games.

Its all just theories. But when Bridgewater and Luck are the prizes at the end of the tunnel and you are talking 2 teams that saw opportunities to get their QB for the next decades, and see anomalous losing streaks of grand proportion out of basically nowhere in each's case, you'd be a fool not to suspect that something was shady that was going on.
