Open Game Day Thread--Miami v. Houston, Part Deux

Mario Williams

is heating up. I think we’ll see more disruption from him. (Please for the love of god)

I don't care how ugly it is

We must win.

I’m a Schaub guy. I really am. I want this guy to continue to play the way he knows he can. Mistakes are going to happen. He’s not a fucking robot.. right? I want him to find his zone and work to it. We need a better redzone scheme in the second half. We’ve been moving the ball with excellent consistency, we just need the ball to cross the goal line.

Expect some half time adjustments offensively… I fully expect the Texans to outscore the Dolphins in the second half.

Agreed

Problem is – week in and week out – the coaches have given us NO reason to believe that they will be the POSITIVE difference in the game, as far as in-game and halftime adjustments.

i think we need to sign a vet qb to at least light a fire under schaub.

if having sage put together a game where he could have taken schaubs job, then have schaub come out and play like this…… its CRAP. and i like schaub, but he way too inconsisant

when will the losing end? THIS WEEK!!!!!!!

Guys

We got lucky on that spot. He really should’ve had that.

by b0ng on Oct 12, 2008 1:38 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

I thought it was pretty accurate.

His head was across the line, but he had the ball tucked into his body. At least that’s what I saw.

by Tailgate Andy on Oct 12, 2008 1:39 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

No doubt. Looked like he got it.

Also, DeMeco missed a tackle on that series… ugh!

by HoustonDiehards on Oct 12, 2008 1:39 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

That was awesome.

I love it when DB’s (on the other team) fall down. Of course, he sat #24 down like a little kid too.

The Defense needs to make a play – like NOW.
