Football The Houston Texans... - Page 4

JFC I feel bad for them.

It is like watching a repeat of Fat Scott's reign of "Patriots Way" terror that was inflicted upon One Arrowhead Drive.

It is the same "Patriots Way" bullshit all over again… get the "right 53 players" and you can magically win with the likes of Ryan Fitzpatrick, Matt Cassel, Tim Tebow, Kyle Orton, etc. as your QB.

"The Patriots Way"= The Ebola virus of the NFL that destroys franchises that don't have Tom Brady as their QB.

Thoughts and prayers to Houston Texans fans.

Exactly. And he was terrible against vanilla defenses.

Except that Tyson Jackson absolutely is an elite run stopper. It's his inability to rush the passer that made him expendable. If he would have been drafted in the 4th round, many Chiefs fans would be in agreement. Unfortunately, getting drafted 3rd overall in the worst draft class in NFL history can sometimes cloud judgment on how good he truly is.

In today's NFL, an elite run stuffer with almost non-existent pass rush is only slightly more useful than a $20 hooker at a Las Vegas porn convention.

I think you're undervaluing a $20 hooker. Esp in Vegas, where you can lose everything you own. A $20 hooker can be the difference between I lost everything I own, and I lost everything I own, BUT.... I got a blow job!!

Why are we feeling sorry for other teams exactly? Last time I checked we hadn't won a playoff game in a thousand years or so. Saving my sympathy for us.

Week 2, Texans with a dominant 32-7 win over a team that had won its first game. Will that carry over into the season too, and even out week 1?

Their DL is going to be awesome.

Not sure getting rid of Schaub after one bad year among his good years was a great move, unless the plan was to snatch up some one like Mariota or Winston early in next year's draft.

Schaub has looked terrible so far.

So far as in the first two preseason games or so far in his career? He did have an INT in the 2nd game on Friday (which Jones should have caught anyway), but he also led the team down the field on a drive than ended in a touchdown. That being said, I think McGloin & Carr have a better chance at winning games for the Raiders.

I doubt it. Did u see the game? It was 16-7 in the 4th so it was a lot closer than the score indicates. (A blocked punt for a TD and several TJ Yates picks later, one being a pick 6, turned the game ugly late) Early on the Falcons played it very vanilla with the players that did play. Ryan did see a good bit of action but Atlanta had been in Houston most of the week for organized practices and got game-like work in, so many players didnt play (Like JJ Watt, Foster, Johnson for Hou) and / or got limited game time. Fitz was Fitz and did extend drives on broken plays (and stupid illegal contact penalties) but should have been picked off several times. This one is exactly the type of game that gives fans false hope. Believe me, it could have easily gone the other way, but the Texans did look better than last week. Hard not to...

On a side note, Kendrick Lewis played well...Clowney looks to be the real deal.

That's exactly the plan. They love Mariota. Im betting they'll be in the running to get him regardless of a week 2 preseason route of a 4-12 team of a year ago. The Texans are not good.
