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

Wow, the Girls win in Seattle?!! Very impressive win, congrats fellas. Looks like they're the real deal. I love to see the 'Hawks get beat. Richard Sherman and the whole team talks way too much shit.

Way to go Sherman, looks like you got toasted again! Originally Posted by Satin

I can't agree the 'Hawks talk too much 'cause they back it up. Until that changes I'm fine with them talking. It doesn't seem to get too out of hand though... except when Sherman went off on Crabtree. But that was actually funny as hell.

DED, I'm not sure the Steelers are even Pittsburgh's Team tonight.

Pulling for the hometown team but my squad is SF. But I hate arguing with Steeler fans 'cause they have 6 rings now and my boyz only have 5. Damn it! Screw that freakin' towel. And yea those guys travel well. May be the true America's Team. Originally Posted by TheDr

Right now, it looks like Steeler Nation needs a little more than a bolt of terry cloth to fix what ails them. The Browns sure took them to task yesterday.

Makes me wonder what Cleveland will do going into next year (IF) Brian Hoyer leads them to a playoff spot this year. Cincy and Baltimore should come out of that division but why not the Browns? Their two losses....total of 5 points, right? Anyways, he's in the final year of a two year contract.....so, will they offer him another contract or turn the team over to Manziel next year?

If so.....maybe the Texans might look at Hoyer. Maybe? Gotta admit....he's looking pretty good (and how much better would he look if Josh Gordon was in that line up?) Just putting it out there. Maybe Houston's happy with this current quarterback group....

The Texans have a real problem at QB. Fritz is ranked 30th on the league. He hesitates on throw he needs to get out quick. If the Titans continue to play bad they will take a QB and Bortles with the Jags is looking good. We could be stuck in a division with 3-young hot QBs and not have an answer. This year the Texans waited too long and missed out on some good ones. Unless we lose the rest of our games we may missed out on the good ones next year too. I have no faith in Rick Smith being able to spot one

Yeah I do respect tradition. Just like to fuck w/ Steeler fans when they whip out that towel. Not sure what's up with them. May be age. I still think Tomlin is a good coach and Ben a great QB. Don't know.

The Browns do look nice but as the boyz on The Ticket up there would say, you may want to tap the breaks on those guys. They are CLEVELAND for goodness sake. Lol. They are bound to fuck things up. Remember 'the drive.' LMFAO

Don't think the Texans are happy with their situation by the way... :-)

Didn't you and the wonder boy Jones say Bortles would suck?

Nope, that he would need a solid year to learn. No one doubted his skills. All indicators were that he still need to learn but he had done better than most expected

Just throwing this out there.
Wakeup mentioned how all of Fitz's throws seem to be behind AJ. I agree some may be on purpose but not when running a slant to beat the blitz. You need to hit him in stride. Seems like he never gets a good pass on that type of route. Shaub couldn't do it either. Is it possible that this happens because AJ plays at a different speed than he practices? Is he cutting his route short in order not to get jammed on the line? That is a timing route. The timing doesn't seem to be there. Something is happening differently in the game than it does in practice but they aren't compensating for it.

Well Fitzsnatchface is an upgrade from what we had, however I am not down for him being the long term solution either. I don't think any of the current QB's are what we need going forward. We got Mallet for a dirty bag of used jock straps so he wasn't high in demand from anybody else. Rick Smith is a shitty GM so I doubt Savage is worth a fuck.

Who is the best QB coming out next year? I don't want JizzStain Winston. He seems to be bad news.

Thanks to Rick Smith this team needs a lot of things. OL, DL, LB, DB's QB, speed in general!!! Rick Smith needs to go before Fitzsnatchface!!!

Prop Bet!!

J. J. Watt gets 2.5 Sacks in the Monday Night Game against the Steelers.

I will take the under.

While I don't have a dog-in-the-hunt per this game.....I am most definitely pulling for Houston (and, of course, any other team playing the Black n Gold). Being a Cowboy fan, this feeling is deep rooted for all the obvious reasons.

Anyways......Big Blue coming to town this Sunday! Definitely hoping Da Boys are done celebrating their win in Seattle (we know knucklehead backup rb, J Randall is done after his Monday shoplifting arrest...lol. What an idiot.)

As I was saying....we got the Giants at Jerry World (fresh off a major league butt-kicking at the hands of the Iggles). If you recall, Eli has had some spectacular games vs Dallas in the past so we can't let our guard down one bit (even though Philly made them look really bad so who knows how good this Giants team is?)

So...good luck in Steel Town, Texans.....I know a W would make everyone down there feel a whole lot better about these past couple of games.
