The Houston Texans lost for the third straight time this season, losing to the San Francisco 49ers, 34-3 Sunday night.
Houston is 2-3 and the preseason Super Bowl contenders should realize they have some problems on offense, one being quarterback Matt Schaub.
Schaub is staying the starting quarterback even though he was benched in the second half following his third interception, including the one that went for a touchdown. T.J. Yates does have a playoff win a couple years ago, but he’s not taking the Texans to the Super Bowl. I’m not saying Schaub will either, but he still gives them a better chance since they are just one game under the .500 mark, but honestly something needs some tweaking on the offensive side of the ball.
Where do the Texans go from here?
They have a lot of work to do, and it will be interesting to see if they have any changes with the offense this week. They have the St. Louis Rams up next.
Here are what Texans fans are saying on Twitter the past 24 hours:
Mondays are no good but Mondays after a Texans loss are the worst.

That #Texans loss is demoralizing as a fan. They have looked SOO bad last couple of weeks. And no, Yates is not the future, neither is Case

Of course I'm still a #texans fan just upset with the loss due to same interception at the very beginning of the game.

It's all my fault....I bought a new Houston Texans shirt and hat, which caused Matt Schaub to implode....I'm so sorry!

I'd still rather have Romo than Schaub.

...I don't think Matt Schaub is as bad as he's played lately so if he can somehow find a way to regain his form...

Its Monday, October 7th 2013 and Matt Schaub still sucks! #JustAFriendlyReminder

The thing is the Texans are screwed because TJ Yates is NOT better than Matt Schaub. Hell, remember we called him YOLO Yates in 2011?
