It has nothing to do with fans calling for the benching of the Houston quarterback and burning his jerseys. He has learned to tune out that kind of negativity.
"We still have to work at that consistency thing," he said. "We've got to be able to make plays to finish the game out."
"The harsh part about this business is you have to wait seven days until you can go and get that taste out of your mouth,Andrus Peat Jersey," he said. "It's not like other sports when you play the next night or next day. The only thing we can do as a group and me personally is go get ready to play San Francisco and go win that one."
The problem has been the interceptions at critical times.
Schaub said surrounding himself with the positivity of his teammates, his wife and three small children has helped him move on. But perhaps his biggest ally in this difficult period has been Kubiak, who was a quarterback before moving on to coaching.
Offensive coordinator Rick Dennison isn't worried about the bad feelings from Sunday's game bleeding into this week,Zapatillas Nike Espa?a. He has seen Schaub rebound from tough games before and expects him to do well this week.
But he's unhappy with his performance last week and can't wait to get back on the field against the 49ers on Sunday to help erase the memories and get the Texans back on track,Cheap Stitched Jerseys.
"That's someone's choice," he said. "My goal is just to make sure, when we get done this thing at the end of the year, he's going back out and he's going to get one to wear."
Schaub has thrown an interception for a touchdown in each of his last three games,Cheap Air Max 720 Free Shipping. The most recent one allowed the Seahawks to tie the game in the fourth quarter of an eventual 23-20 overtime win on Sunday.
He said the game was one of the lowest moments of his career, second only to Houston's playoff loss to New England last season.
If Schaub and the Texans are going to do that, the first thing they'll have to do is eliminate their mistakes. Schaub's numbers have been fine. He's averaging almost 300 yards passing a game, which is fourth in the AFC and has thrown eight touchdown passes.
Dennison went on to point out that the entire offense needs to improve against the 49ers,Air Max Australia.
"You make a glaring mistake or two, it's the difference in the winning and losing,Hydro Flask Barn," coach Gary Kubiak said. "Bottom line, they can't happen and you've got to find a way to fix them."
"Everybody has bad games," running back Arian Foster said. "Everybody has bad runs. This is the NFL. It's not easy out there, especially at that position. He's our quarterback. He's our leader. I'm riding with him."
As ugly as the atmosphere surrounding Schaub is outside of the stadium, it hasn't seeped into his teammate's feelings toward the quarterback. The Texans know that Schaub isn't the only one making mistakes and that it's up to them to help make his job easier.
"It just helps because he understands what we go through," Schaub said. "He understands the daily grind that we go through physically and mentally, and how much things affect you positively and negatively. He understands the weight of the position."
