my prediction for the 2nd half
the only adjustment our Defense will make will result in 21-24 points by the Browns.
The offense will look good until inside the 20, then not so good.
We will lose after a pick by rosie
I know those are safe picks, but thats my story, and I’m stickin to it.
Please draft some defensive stars for the next DC.
lets mix it up a bit and say the rosencoper takes off and fumbles
when will the losing end? THIS WEEK!!!!!!!

Totally agree
That’s what I’m expecting. Anything else will be a bonus.
When I'm on the mic, I'm like global warming, you can't ignore me.

notice they made an adjustment
they didn’t pick on Reeves, and it cost them… they ARE us.
Please draft some defensive stars for the next DC.
Why
Every opposing OC doesn’t script the first 15 plays right at Jacques, I’ll never know.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
re: reeves
He’s due for a ball to bounce off someone’s head into his hands for a pick6.

the best thing that happened to us in the first half
is Braylons drops. So they’ll go another direction.
Oh, and their secondary looks far worse than ours
Please draft some defensive stars for the next DC.
I think its time for a penalty fact check
every other freakin play!
Please draft some defensive stars for the next DC.
now we see how other teams feel when they play us, i guess
its kinda nice, lol
when will the losing end? THIS WEEK!!!!!!!
Brando
Just said that Rogers may have been “seduced” offsides. Excellent.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Gannon defending Schaub?
Did he just make a reasonable argument about the cheap shots Schaub has taken?
I’m kinda liking Gannon as a color man.
Gannon
Pretty good. I like him more than most.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Agree
Really like Gannon.

And There It Is...
The inevitable Sage pick. Damn.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
there goes the confidence
and here comes the defensive pissed offedness that results in unrelenting first downs
Please draft some defensive stars for the next DC.
Way To Throw Behind Him, Sage
I hate being a Texans fan.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Mario!
Looked like a lion pouncing on the gazelle that was Jamal Lewis.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
excellent
now more chances for Sage.
I smell 3 running plays.
Please draft some defensive stars for the next DC.
Anthony Weaver?!!!?
With a pick! WTF? Dropping defensive linemen into coverage is brilliant! Richard Smith is just operating on a higher plane than us.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
he was out of position
thats the only way to explain it. RS didn’t draw that up.
He will be reprimanded appropriately.
Please draft some defensive stars for the next DC.
Fun fact:
In the past two years, both Travis Johnson and Anthony Weaver have more interceptions than Faggins.
I Just Vomited

ya that's sad

I go take a dump...
And Anthony Weaver gets an INT.
I’m gonna grab a magazine – see you guys in an hour.
what happened on the first down play action?
my slingbox took a dump
Please draft some defensive stars for the next DC.
Completion to 'Dre
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Our Inability
To score TDs is astounding. FG, FG, FG, FG…
We’re keeping CLE in this game.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
On the plus side
At least we have Kris Brown, who is the kicking version of an ATM.

Pittman
Is snapping like Bryan Pittman again. That is not good.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Yup, But It Doesn't Matter
AP is not used in calculating BCS standings anymore.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Our Front Four
Is getting abused by CLE’s OL. Holes are huge.

Adibi
Just read that play extraordinarily well. Wow.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Sigh.
Usual 2nd-half atrocious run defense.
I was texting with Tim...
how is it that this team is so irritating that they even piss us off while winning?
Yay, sports.
Imposing Their Will
On us in the trenches right now.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Question:
If you are the Browns, why would you have passed a single time in the red zone there? Lewis was getting 6+/carry.
Yay, sports.
Fred!
Pick! When was the last time we had four TOs in a game? I’d bet never.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
How about...
the Pittsburgh game where we had all of, what, 24 yards of offense? How many TOs in that game?
Yay, sports.
I Seem To Remember
Three, two of which were returned for scores. Could be very wrong though.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
I Stand Corrected
Those were the good old days. Now, Vic Fangio…THERE was a DC!
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Pulling Quinn?
That had better be because Quinn can’t throw. If that’s a coaching decision, Crennel should get canned tonight.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
First time at a Phillies game
I was heckled for 9 innings by a retarded guy… who told me he was going to “shit in my astros hat”
They don’t disappoint.
by DisplacedTexan on Nov 23, 2008 2:10 PM CST up reply actions
Yup.
He was with two teenagers. They called him “The Fonz”
Couldn’t make this up if I wanted to.

Quote of the Day?
I think so.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Molden
Picking up Jacoby’s mess. Cripes.

Haven't Had Enough
Vonta in the passing game lately. Thanks, Sage.

Ahman Green Injured Again
Per Harlan, with a right knee sprain. “He just can’t stay healthy.”
You think?
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
two most important drives
and we are 3 and out both times
Please draft some defensive stars for the next DC.
I think Kubiak likes to keep the game close
whether winning or losing.
Please draft some defensive stars for the next DC.
I was thinkin the same thing
earlier in the game.
He must really suck, cuz we never hand him the ball.
Please draft some defensive stars for the next DC.
0-7
On the last 7 third downs.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Not beautiful football.
This game lacks a certain elegance to it.
This must be what an inter-team scrimmage looks like.
Downright Ugly
This is tough to watch.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
this reminds me of last years team
lost of field goals, sage playin decent
ironically if we won this game last year, we might have been in the playoffs
Please draft some defensive stars for the next DC.
Mario
Just almost sacked Anderson. Through Joe Thomas.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
anyone know if we have had two recievers over 100 before?
when will the losing end? THIS WEEK!!!!!!!
I've Never Seen
A WR drop balls like this. Wow.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Jacques Reeves
Illegal hands to the face and a first down for CLE. Stupid. Just stupid.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Is it wrong...
that his signing alone makes me kinda hate Rick Smith, at least on gamedays.
Yay, sports.
at least he used his hands
when will the losing end? THIS WEEK!!!!!!!

Re: Weaver
Easily the best game he’s ever had as a Texan.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
AGH.
Piece. Of. Shit.
For $20 million, do you know what I could have done there? Nothing. I could have sat on the bench and we’d have been better off.
they are taking over the game
and its horrible to watch
Please draft some defensive stars for the next DC.
3rd and 10
How’re you gonna give them this one, zebras?

More LB Blitzing?
What team is this?
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Right at Jacques
Again. He’s a complete joke.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
We really aren't used to playing a team that wants to give it away as bad as we do.
The defense really has to be scratching its heads after all the help they gave the browns that series. We are used to feeling inferior to better teams and giving them all the help they need to beat us.
You met with Richard Smith?
And you didn’t kill him? You could have become a god in Houston, Gannon.
Starting To Feel Bad For Braylon Edwards
He’s dropping balls even with Jacques on him.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
they wouldn't be throwing to him anymore if he caught them
it would be way out of hand by now, and it’d be Jamal left, Jamal right, like last year
Please draft some defensive stars for the next DC.
he just said
Jacques reeves " got a hand in there"
doesn’t he know JR doesn’t have one of those?
Please draft some defensive stars for the next DC.
Can't Say This Enough
Jacques Reeves is the worst CB in the league.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Dunta!
With a FG block?
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
a winnable game?
on the road?
and we may capitalize?
oh wait, Rosey gets the ball now, nevermind.
Please draft some defensive stars for the next DC.
I'm a mess of emotions.
An actual offensive drive would be nice right here.
Hell, I’ll take 1 first down.
i'd be surprised
if we get a 4th play on this drive
Please draft some defensive stars for the next DC.
What's awesome about this game...
Is that it’s so uncharacteristic of the Texans (not giving up a shitload of points), that it’s almost lured everybody into a false sense of security.
And when you’re least expecting it, it’s gonna hit you hard. I mean hard.
That’s right.
Quick, Robin. To the Rosencopter!
I won't believe we've won any games
Until two weeks after the season is over. Because you never know what could happen.

Rosey doing his best
to make my predictions come true, one at a time
Please draft some defensive stars for the next DC.
Another Sage INT
Not even funny anymore. He’s awful.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Un-fucking-believable.
I’ve never seen somebody so blatantly screw over an entire team. Why oh WHY can this chump never understand the situation? Six minutes left in the god-damn 4th quarter and it’s a two score game. PLAY SMART.
that is seriously
THE ONLY FREAKIN WAY TO LOSE THIS GAME, was to throw that pick.
Please draft some defensive stars for the next DC.
That INT
Was mindboggling. Who was he throwing to?
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Cripple Fight!
Thanks, Jamal Lewis.

CLE
Lost this game. We didn’t win it.

Are we even watching football?
This is just awful. We should hang out with Browns fans next week in the comment thread. It’d be like a group therapy session.

seems like roesfaisl and lewis had a bet on who could screw their team worse, but lewis got some help from edwards!
when will the losing end? THIS WEEK!!!!!!!
No Roughing The Punter?
Turk was assaulted. Hochuli’s awful.

We Could Still Lose This Game
Easily.

Didn't That Hit The Ground?
Because I did NOT just see Jacques get a pick.

Dude, they think we're gonna win
have they watched rosey in action this year?
