Cincinnati Bengals at Houston Texans, Oct 26, 2008 3:05 PM CDT
Three (3) wins in a row. It's never happened in the nearly six and a half seasons of Houston Texans football. Will it happen today? Despite Cincinnati's record, the Texans had better not take them lightly; they're wholly capable of sticking one to the hometown team. If your Houston Texans are going to make history today, it won't be with anything but their "A" game.
As always, leave your pre-game, in-game, and post-game reactions and unintelligible rage in the Comments below. At 4:30 p.m. CDT, a second game day thread will post to the main page; please move the conversation there at the appropriate time. GO TEXANS!

Victory Weekend 3.0
It’s in full swing. Even Spurs notched a win!
And that’s to wacky European time rules, I only have to wait until 9pm for the game!

For those of us who follow other sports & teams.
I started an “other” teams fan post for those of us who follow soccer and other sports. Figured it would keep us from getting banned and keep the gameday thread focused on the Texans.
You can find it here.

You are not ready for Flacco
“2-8 OAK49 (5:37) (Shotgun) T.Smith pass deep left to J.Flacco to OAK 6 for 43 yards (R.Brown).”
Oh man. Flacco would burn Petey.

Incase you didnt know
Jacoby Jones is the return man
by TexanFanFromTheStart on Oct 26, 2008 2:09 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
so you think its a good or bad move to start Ferguson?
by TexanFanFromTheStart on Oct 26, 2008 2:12 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Are you asking me to trust Richard Smith? I think he sets all the D up for a long day!
But, yes I’ll pray he offers more then Demps
by Xetuoh on Oct 26, 2008 2:14 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I trust him
To make me want to shoot someone.
by DisplacedTexan on Oct 26, 2008 2:16 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
No argument from me! Why he still on the property at Reliant is beyond me…
by Xetuoh on Oct 26, 2008 2:17 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Because EVERYONE loves him! He is the best!
by TexanFanFromTheStart on Oct 26, 2008 2:18 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
The DC's love him too
When it comes time for their job evaluations, they all know that there’s at least one DC who’s worse than they are.
by Tailgate Andy on Oct 26, 2008 2:28 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Touche’
So, there you go! Those who suck…love him.
Those who “know”…hate him.

by patrickw on Oct 26, 2008 2:33 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Maybe here:

A bit later… hard to say. That or here:

But neither looks particularly promising at the moment.

and also that field pass works this week
by patrickw on Oct 26, 2008 2:41 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Come on TB!
Put this in the end zone.
by DisplacedTexan on Oct 26, 2008 2:54 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Punt Return for a TD.

try KILT's radio broadcast
I can’t find any video streams. It sucks when two awful teams play one another. Nobody bothers to broadcast it or stream it.

After the first series
It looks like the Bengals suddenly remembered what defense they were playing against. They’ve been getting steady yards every play.
by Tailgate Andy on Oct 26, 2008 3:21 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Ugg
Our defense is painful to watch.
by DisplacedTexan on Oct 26, 2008 3:21 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
3rd and 15.
What’s the plan, Richard?
by Nashmeister on Oct 26, 2008 3:24 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
We finally got a stop on third down
but they’re kicking a 44 yarder
by Tailgate Andy on Oct 26, 2008 3:24 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Wowsa.
We actually bent and didn’t break for once.
by Nashmeister on Oct 26, 2008 3:24 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Well, they did get the field goal.
But it’s better than the TD we usually give up.
by Tailgate Andy on Oct 26, 2008 3:25 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Oh hey
We get to field an offense, too! Forgot about them.
by DisplacedTexan on Oct 26, 2008 3:29 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Oh hey
Andre Johnson being awesome!

CHINSTRAP!
Slaton Lost Helmets: 1
by DisplacedTexan on Oct 26, 2008 3:32 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Slaton gets the ball
but gets tackled for a 5 yard loss on third down. Turk on to punt.

And we've got a Dunta sighting.
Tackles Houshmanagonnaworkhereanymore at the line of scrimmage.

Are we involved?
In a Cedric Benson self-help group right now or something?
by DisplacedTexan on Oct 26, 2008 3:39 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
naw, they just told him if he didn't preform, chris henry would roll him up and smoke him
when will the losing end? THIS WEEK!!!!!!!
by m1 on Oct 26, 2008 3:41 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Third time he's done that
How are we not abusing this O-line? Gah.
by DisplacedTexan on Oct 26, 2008 3:43 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
It looks like
we’re weak up the middle. We need a run stuffer up the middle.
by Tailgate Andy on Oct 26, 2008 3:44 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
get okams fat ass in there!
when will the losing end? THIS WEEK!!!!!!!
by m1 on Oct 26, 2008 3:44 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
is it me or can we not stop ANY qb from scrambling?
when will the losing end? THIS WEEK!!!!!!!
by m1 on Oct 26, 2008 3:43 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
What the fuck?
Even R. Kelly is abusing our defense. This has to stop.
by Nashmeister on Oct 26, 2008 3:45 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
good stop d!
time to score again!
when will the losing end? THIS WEEK!!!!!!!
by m1 on Oct 26, 2008 3:47 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Was that Eugene Wilson
that got that stop?
by Tailgate Andy on Oct 26, 2008 3:48 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Johnson with a catch
Looks like he’s on his way to another great game.

AJ
Is such a beast. He just shoved that guy past the marker.
by DisplacedTexan on Oct 26, 2008 3:52 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
And he seems to have taken chinstrap lessons
from Steve Slaton. When I suggested a chinstrap clinic for Slaton, I didn’t mean that he should be teaching it.
by Tailgate Andy on Oct 26, 2008 3:54 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
It'll be a team epidemic soon.
Slaton Watch still at 1.
by DisplacedTexan on Oct 26, 2008 3:55 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Slaton runs the ball
and gets the short first down.
by Tailgate Andy on Oct 26, 2008 3:56 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Pass to AJ
6 yard pass, down to the 12 yard line.
by Tailgate Andy on Oct 26, 2008 3:56 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
make that the 7.
Was looking at the wrong side of the 10 apparently.
by Tailgate Andy on Oct 26, 2008 3:57 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
offensive play calling
i am really, really liking it this drive
by cubic on Oct 26, 2008 3:57 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
David Anderson
All alone in the endzone for a TD.
by Tailgate Andy on Oct 26, 2008 3:58 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
When's the last time we forced a turnover?
Wouldn’t mind one right about now, to put the proverbial nail in the coffin.
Great drive anyways, even without any help from the running game. This is easily one of the best offenses in football.
by Nashmeister on Oct 26, 2008 3:59 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
running game still helps
as long as we keep running, DBs stay honest and leave open spots
by BigTexBD on Oct 26, 2008 4:00 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
David Anderson
With the Conan O’Brien string dance. Whitest. Celebration. Ever.

Where are some PHOENIX texans fans?
I live in Chandler AZ and got the NFL ticket. Just wondering when i can throw y TEXANS viewers party!

Is hittin’ some people today.
by DisplacedTexan on Oct 26, 2008 4:01 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Molden in on the special teams tackle again.
He’s loking pretty good on Special Teams so far.
by Tailgate Andy on Oct 26, 2008 4:02 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Jesus.
I realize we’ve only given up three points so far, but this defense still looks really bad.
by Nashmeister on Oct 26, 2008 4:05 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
What are the odds that we keep Cincy from scoring
before the 2nd half is over?
by Tailgate Andy on Oct 26, 2008 4:05 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
What are our odds of stoping anyone ever?
by DisplacedTexan on Oct 26, 2008 4:06 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Anyone?
Well, there are only 31 other NFL teams, and something like 119 D1 college teams, so, I guess it would be 150 – however many football teams there are total/however many football teams there are total. So all in all, pretty good odds I think.
by Tailgate Andy on Oct 26, 2008 4:08 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Sigh.
One day we’ll prevent a QB from scrambling.
by DisplacedTexan on Oct 26, 2008 4:09 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I predict
that day will eerily coincide with whatever day Richard Smith no longer works for the Texans.
by Tailgate Andy on Oct 26, 2008 4:10 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
In all fairness...
We are talking about Ryan Fitzpatrick here. The guy has wheels.
by Nashmeister on Oct 26, 2008 4:10 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I just turned the game on... Has there been any penetration from the d-line?
by shiner37 on Oct 26, 2008 4:11 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Not much
and when there has, there have been gaping holes that Fitzpatrick has scrambled through.
by Tailgate Andy on Oct 26, 2008 4:12 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
well, there is penetration of the d-line....
when will the losing end? THIS WEEK!!!!!!!
by m1 on Oct 26, 2008 4:12 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
This is only the second time
in 17 tries that the opposing offense hasn’t scored a TD once in the red zone.
by Tailgate Andy on Oct 26, 2008 4:13 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
That stat
Almost put me in tears.
by DisplacedTexan on Oct 26, 2008 4:15 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
54 seconds left.
Think we’re gonna try to get those points back?
by Nashmeister on Oct 26, 2008 4:14 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
We should definitely be able to move into FG position.
54 seconds with this offense? It’s doable.
by Tailgate Andy on Oct 26, 2008 4:15 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
look out for DA BOMB TO DRE!!!!!
when will the losing end? THIS WEEK!!!!!!!
by m1 on Oct 26, 2008 4:14 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Aww come on,
Don’t go injecting reality into this conversation.
by Tailgate Andy on Oct 26, 2008 4:15 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
lol. at least we get ball to start the third, too
when will the losing end? THIS WEEK!!!!!!!
by m1 on Oct 26, 2008 4:17 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm not sure
That we’ve ever run a play without the TE going in motion. Ever. Not once.
by DisplacedTexan on Oct 26, 2008 4:17 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
if jags and indi lose, we habve the same record as both

Limping 2 minute offense
Still not Baby Shan’s worst playcalling.
by DisplacedTexan on Oct 26, 2008 4:19 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Come on
Doesn’t Brown have a better chance of hitting a 61-yarder than that pass has of being caught?
by DisplacedTexan on Oct 26, 2008 4:20 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
if there was air under that ball it had a chance of being caught
by shiner37 on Oct 26, 2008 4:21 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
It looked like Anderson
had a relatively decent shot of making that catch as it was.
