PrintTennessee Titans at Houston Texans, Dec 14, 2008 12:00 PM CST
As I said yesterday, I've got a funny feeling about this one. Love 'em or hate 'em, the Titans are one of the best, if not the best, team(s) in the NFL right now. Their defense should keep Houston's explosive offense in check, and their offense should be able to grind out yards and seconds against the Houston defense. For some reason, however, I think there are going to be a couple of big plays from Schaub & Co., and a few gigantic stops from DeMeco & Co., that are going to sway this game in our favor. Illogical? Sure. Ridiculous? No doubt. Insane? Probably. But that's what I'm feeling.
Leave your pre-game, in-game, and post-game observations, adulation, and/or attacks on my idiocy in the Comments below. The second-half thread will post to the main page at 1:30 p.m. CST; kindly mosey that way at the appropriate hour. GO TEXANS!

It is time to end this...
It is time to rise to the occasion and beat the BE-SF and have them limp back to Nashville, so I can “gleefully” pee on their shoes!
Go TEXANS!
No kidding...
I’m tired of seeing our guys get beat by the BESF’s. Nothing worse than a snide Titans fan…

Cowboys fans
It’s not even close. You come across those assholes in the most random places – and they’re the exact same the world over.

Game
I think that when we win this game that we are going to have a great next season.
by TexanFanFromTheStart on Dec 14, 2008 11:36 AM CST reply actions
Is
Nick Ferguson going to start this game?

Gus Johnson
Gonna be hard to call this game with your mouth full of the Titan’s….
by DisplacedTexan on Dec 14, 2008 12:01 PM CST reply actions
So much...
for a first possession three-and-out.
Could we PLEASE play some run defense?
Yay, sports.
I was saying the same thing here
but a INT is still an INT and he’s only a few yards shy of where he’d be if he’d done what he should have done.
by Tailgate Andy on Dec 14, 2008 12:08 PM CST up reply actions
Agreed.
But, still, those are the little things you want your team to do automatically.
Yay, sports.
Hey look at that
He turned his head and SAW THE BALL!

Fuck you Eric Winston
You’d better get your shit together.

scroll down to the texans-titans game. It kinda sucks, though …

Why?
Why do we blow ass against the Titans?
by DisplacedTexan on Dec 14, 2008 12:12 PM CST reply actions
Anthony Weaver sighting.
Always catches me off guard. All three times it’s happened this year.
Yay, sports.
LOL
Tasker just called Reeves “Jackass” by accident.
by DisplacedTexan on Dec 14, 2008 12:12 PM CST reply actions
Ok, so we'll just pretend that neither of the INT's happened
and pretend like we held the Titans to a FG on their opening drive.
Well, Tim.
Let’s hope that’s just the one-allotted turnover that you gave him. Offense is gonna be smooth from here on out; I’m feeling it.
What ticks me off...
Is it just gives Fat Albert more fodder to shit-talk. I need Vonta to concuss that asshole.
by DisplacedTexan on Dec 14, 2008 12:14 PM CST up reply actions
Well
He aughta be talking shit to Eric Winston on that one, if anybody.
by Nashmeister on Dec 14, 2008 12:16 PM CST up reply actions
Warren Sapp?
I forgot that guy existed.

QB Rating
Is there a more confusing and probably useless statistic in sports?
by DisplacedTexan on Dec 14, 2008 12:20 PM CST reply actions
I hate it.
“Hey, let’s take four different stats, figure the league average and standard deviations for them, and then compile them into a weird scale.”
Yay, sports.
Intentional Grounding?
That’s a bullshit call.

That Brett Favre run
was almost as funny as Turk’s run last week. Except that Turk looked faster.

How did he move that pile?
I am so gay for Slaton.
by DisplacedTexan on Dec 14, 2008 12:25 PM CST reply actions
Not very.
Well, it didn’t look that bad in Slo-mo anyways.

Fucking horrible.
Cecil motherfucking Sapp? Get off my team.
Jebus.
This is Kearse of 4-5 seasons ago.

Kubes showing brass ones?
Would never have guessed.
by DisplacedTexan on Dec 14, 2008 12:30 PM CST reply actions
I'm guessing...
Alex Gibbs is sick of the pussy playcalling and started threatening people.
Yay, sports.
In retrospect.
Kick the fieldgoal, Kubiak. We’ve been through this before; this isn’t the Detroit Lions defense.
Do we have an o-line today?
What the crap, guys?
by DisplacedTexan on Dec 14, 2008 12:32 PM CST reply actions
Well, at the very least...
You tie this thing up and take solace in the fact that your defense has had a 9-minute rest.
Would confirm my theory...
That he’s shit-faced for this game.
by DisplacedTexan on Dec 14, 2008 12:34 PM CST up reply actions
Sort of.
But in my opinion, you have a better chance of turning the ball over against the Titans than you do of driving 17 yards in the red-zone and punching it in. These guys are too good to be taking chances like that.
by Nashmeister on Dec 14, 2008 12:36 PM CST up reply actions
Oh, I know what you are saying...
I’m just saying that, according to Football Oustiders and the like, it was the right play, regardless of the team you’re playing.
Yay, sports.

Is Stevie Wonder the only person who has showed up for the game?
Yay, sports.

For Texans’ fans heart rates.
Lipitor commercial after a JJ punt-return. Coincidence? I think not.

Uh, yea.
I’ve got wood too, no shame in that.
by Nashmeister on Dec 14, 2008 12:45 PM CST up reply actions
Followed by a shifty Slaton run.
My junk works. Confirmed.

Andre Johnson
Is Jesus. It’s been confirmed.
by DisplacedTexan on Dec 14, 2008 12:44 PM CST reply actions
Does that mean that DeMeco is God?
I thought his nickname was DeJesus…

Too many dieties on our team.
Mario is GOD though.
by DisplacedTexan on Dec 14, 2008 12:47 PM CST up reply actions
Definitely...
Mario is definitely vengeful, Jewish, Old Testament God.
Not lazy New Testament, hand-off-the-work, God.

Mario
as pure being? Heidegger would dispute that.
Possibly
though Heidegger’s connection with German National Socialism doesn’t help
German philosophy
Was the most obnoxious stuff to study. Go fuck yourself Nietzsche.

Our offense
Is some sort of well-oiled machine. When it’s humming, it’s unstoppable.
by DisplacedTexan on Dec 14, 2008 12:48 PM CST reply actions
How about our Offense looks like the space shuttle...
When it works, it’s awesome (takes you to outerspace, to the stars, whatever. There’s some hokey metaphor in there somewhere). When it doesn’t work, it turns into a horrific fireball.
by Tailgate Andy on Dec 14, 2008 12:50 PM CST up reply actions
Space shuttle?
Not bad. Although a think that another flying machine might be more relevant…

Tasker
So do I have to call him in the morning or something?
by DisplacedTexan on Dec 14, 2008 12:52 PM CST reply actions
Both gifted by Collins really.
He screwed both 3rd down throws. Had open guys.
by DisplacedTexan on Dec 14, 2008 12:54 PM CST up reply actions
Punt, pass, & kick
Can anyone explain why pass is part of that contest?
by DisplacedTexan on Dec 14, 2008 12:55 PM CST reply actions
Take your time, offense.
I want an 11-minute drive. If that’s even possible from the 40…
Make that 9.
Because I is not can has math. And Cecil Sapp sucks.
by Nashmeister on Dec 14, 2008 12:57 PM CST up reply actions
I actually don't mind that.
Although it’s way less obvious that you’re going to try something like that if you don’t call a time-out beforehand.
Our receivers....
Honestly, I’ll put them up against any set in the league. We have arguably the best receiving corp in the NFL.
Daniels pushes us over
We have a great receiving tight end that compliments the WRs. AND Slaton can catch out of the backfield.
Maybe I should say we have a great pass-game. But the guys catching balls, are some of the best. (Fewest dropped passes in the league!)
by DisplacedTexan on Dec 14, 2008 1:12 PM CST up reply actions
and TJ
as usual is getting pushe 3 and 4 yards off the ball. I will be glad when he is gone.
I withdraw this statement.
I’m sorry I ever doubted you, Matt.
by DisplacedTexan on Dec 14, 2008 1:17 PM CST up reply actions
So, this Jets-Bills game looks pretty good on the scoreboard.
But god damn, it is soboring. I want the Jets eliminated from the league.
I like David Anderson all right...
but can we NOT throw to the white midget two yards short of the first down line?
Yay, sports.
Fuck you, zebras.
And fuck you, Ephraim Salaam.
Oh I've got quite a few.
I’m trying some different mixes. Nothing really sounding good though.
Cocksuckers.
