NFL and Houston Texans Superthread: Are we ready for some football?

I thought they had it the entire game, outside that kickoff return for a TD, the Jets didn't do much on offense. Watt made some huge plays, basically won the game on his own by stopping a TD and getting us in a position for a FG (which probably should have been a pick 6). Jets showed up though and didn't suck.

It's all good, they did what they had to, the real games begin in the next two weeks, Aaron Rodgers and Flacco. Originally Posted by TheDon

3 years ago, they only played one half of the game....
The Jets had their backs to the wall and pulled out all of the stops. They played over their heads, especially Cromartie and the rest of their DB's. For most of the 2nd half, Schaub did not have anyone to throw to.

All in all, Schaub once again managed the game plan well. Schaub continues to get lots of love from the commentators. And guess what? I still have yet to hear one of the expert, network commentators refer to him as being a Dopey QB. In fact, they are saying just the opposite. Obviously, those so called expert NFL analysts must not know as much about professional football as a few of our posters! LOL

As for the offensive game ball, it should go to Foster, the guy who ended up being the difference maker on Ike's Fantasy team against yours truly. Congrats to him once again!

On defense, KJ had another outstanding game in the Texans secondary. Actually, this was probably the first game that KJ outplayed his mentor, J Joe. I said during this past off season, last week and I will say it once again now, I am glad Kubes and Wade had the patience to allow KJ to mature and develop. Their patience is starting to pay huge dividends. KJ's turning into a player right in front of our eyes! He, as well as the entire Texans secondary, will be tested next week against Rogers and the Packs excellent set of receivers.

Of course, the game ball should once again go to JJ Swatt! He was once again the best player on the field. WOW, what can be said about the guy that hasn't already been said! Five weeks into the season, he is the best defensive player in the NFL. If he continues at this pace, he will be the MVP of the entire league.

The only down side would be the status of Cush! I do not have a good feeling about his injury! We should know more in the next 24-48 hours.

Way to go Texans, 5-0. Bring on the Pack!

Well the Texans were never really threatened or in jeopardy of losing, but I called the game to be very close and it was (the score is all that matters) Most of you called me out for predicting a close game and actually predicted a blowout. Texans won, but didn't even cover the spread. Yea say what you want, but they only won by 6...(I'm glad but damn) and I was worried for a bit. Our defense is bailing us out and I'm happy we have JJ...


Come on down Green Bay....
On another note, a special shout out to an Ex Houston Texan, Eric Winston for ripping the few home town KC fans who cheered a head inury to the Chiefs QB. There is no fucking excuse for that bullshit! Way to go Eric!

As for me, I would take Winston back on our offensive line tomorrow! No questions asked!

Cushing tore his ACL. Son of a bitch...

We'll probably still make the playoffs and be viewed as a contender, but that is a massive Fucking blow to this team and defense. Fuck, Fuck Fuck Fuck...

I mean, wishing to go the season without having either Foster, Dre, Schaub, Brown, Joseph, Watt, and Cushing hurt might sound like it's asking a lot. But Fuck, man.

You know what guys, Bradie James may not be as good as Cush, but at least he isn't new to the system, I'm guessing either Barwin or Reed will play inside now. Whitney Mercilus, we drafted the dude, now he's gonna get a chance to make a name for himself.

Lamborghini Mercy- Lets do this shit.

If so, maybe there will not be much of a drop off! I'm sure glad that the Texans braintrust used that pick on a linebacker last year. Hopefully, it will pay off!

At least, I hope!

Damn Cushing ACL, done for the season. Dammit!!! Looks like the last season's "next man up" has to come into play again....
That was a fucking cheap shot by that mother fucker Slausen on Cush. Away from the ball out of the play border line clip!! Slausen can suck my asshole!! Fucking jerkoff!!

BT says - "I said during this past off season, last week and I will say it once again now," Jeez man you really are the Rainman!!! Come up with something original.

McClain gave Dopey a C, that is what he grades out at most of the time!! The pick he threw was because he was slow and late with the ball down the middle. Dodged a couple of other bullets on poor throws. It is concerning WR's are not getting open, leading receivers were OD and Casey. Schaub was 14 for 28, for 209. C - in my opinion. Worst game for him so far this year, up till now he had played well. Dopey and Kubes are the weak links, book it.

With Cush I just knew we were going to manhandle GB (lost to Indy) and Baltimore (9 points (lol) against the Chiefs... (lol)).... now? Not so much.

At least the conference isn't that great, if we can get home field and avoid Ray Rice in the playoffs, I think this team still might be the favorites.

I suspect you had a lot of built-up frustration, having gone a full 1/4 of the 2012 football season without being able to bitch and moan about Schaub, Kubes and KJ. Hell, it's been so long since you have been able to complain about Schaub that your digestive system has probably backed up on you!

Adding to his frustrations, DD was not able to make a legitimate case that T J should be the starting QB for the Texans thus far this year. If my memory serves me correctly (and I am absolutely certain it does), DD boldly made that prediction last year. Oh well, so much for DD's accurate predictions!

DD, you might want to get back under your shell. Otherwise you might catch the sniffles!!!!!!

Quite Honestly...

Fuck being 5-0!! We just lost CUSH for the year!!!! DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!




Cush was the Team MVP last year and is the adhesive holding the Defense together. This is not the guy you want to shrug off with that #NextManUp routine from last year.. Unless JJ Watt can keep playing out of his motherfucking mind, loosing Cush for the year, could put SuperBowl projections in jepordy. Lets just hope James and Dobbins can play half as well as Cush..
