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

That could be an explanation of BoB's tone. It's a damn shame if McNair has gone that far but considering his feelings towards other players I'd say it's more likely than not that he influenced that decision in some way. However, I have a feeling McNair's disdain regarding Mallett is at least slightly less today than it was yesterday.

So which QB starts the next game?

Starting mallet would be the best move

I hate to say it but i think right now he still has to start hoyer . What ki d of message or look would it represent if he changed qb after just one game ? I know he said hoyer has a short leash but it was just one game . Changing after just one game is admitting you are an indiot or that or team is not in fact patriots south but cleveland/oakland south . Still have to think long term . He shit storm the next game then yeah .

I think McNuttless has been influencing the QB decision. It's pretty clear who looks more like an NFL QB with the pads on, but in front of a mic, or a camera Mallet does not project well as a face of a franchise. You bet your left nut McNuttless has said so or maybe even silent Cal has chimed in. McNuttless cares more about image than winning.

Chiefs are pretty fucking solid. Thank goodness the rest of the league is not.

Either way with Hoyer we are fucked. We may have a glimmer of playoff hope with Mallet but make him catch whatever silent Cal McNuttless has so he won't show up in front of the mic. Mallet better learn how to take care of the ball and be more consistently accurate.

Charlie Pallilo had me laughing yesterday about the Panthers chewing off their fingernails worrying if it would be Malllet or Hoyer. Good one ChRlie you ducking nerd.

The WR did look ok, the fucking OLine was awfull. The WR could not get separation quickly enough as the OLine were just watching the jailbreak. Chiefs used press coverage a lot and the OL couldn't handle the heat. Shitty, Dopey like QB play as well.

So the Texans trade Keyshawn Martin to the Patriots.
The report didn't say what they got. If Rick Smith was involved I'm guessing it was NE 2016 first round pick.

The Chiefs have a really good D-line. Probably the best the Texans will see for a few games. I don't think the Panthers will be able to come with the same pass rush.

Containing Newton and getting to him are two different things. If they only contain him and the secondary plays the way it did against the Chiefs they are in for a long day. You're not going to get a sack or even pressure on every drop back. The secondary has to cover their assignments better. The rookie Johnson earned more time on the field.

I'm not predicting shit though. This could be a Jekyll and Hyde team.

It's a good thing football season's in full swing now considering the Astros are free-falling on this current road trip (got bombed this evening in Arlington, 14-3, by the Rangers).

Oh, wait a sec....the Texans are heading to Carolina this weekend, O and 1....and already changing the starting QB.....?.......well, never mind.

Hey...take heart, Houston.....your little Rockets should be reporting to camp pretty soon. haha!

Back to football........

As Brian T. Smith of The Houston Chronicle reports, the Texans front office is starting to lose patience with O'Brien's inability to find his guy. Worsening matters, according to Smith, is that O'Brien pushed for the signing of Hoyer and made him the starter, despite Mallett being the favorite for most of Houston.

Smith writes, "O'Brien's suddenly in the cross hairs, giving up the security of 9-7 in his first year for the scrutiny that comes with benching a QB he begged Houston to believe in and promoting a 27-year-old who didn't own an alarm clock three weeks ago." The alarm clock reference is to Mallett getting benched for showing up late to practice during training camp.

What did we get for Keyshawn Martin? I would have traded him for a bag of used jockstraps, sounds like we might have gotten less. Good Job Rick!!!

I sell the used jock straps on ebay, BigTex is my best customer, I constantly overprice them for him by saying they are Dopey's Vienna Sausage model. He scoops them up with a very large bid!! I saw a recent photo of BT online wearing the Big Vince Wolfork model on his face, he looked gangsta!!!
