PrintHouston Texans at Jacksonville Jaguars, Sep 28, 2008 12:00 PM CDT
It's difficult to imagine your Houston Texans playing any worse than they have since the 2008 season began, is it not? They're due to look like a real, live NFL team one of these days, aren't they? Could this afternoon in Jacksonville be the day? We can dream.
Enlighten all of us with your pre-game, in-game, and post-game thoughts, observations, curses, and social commentary in the Comments below. GO TEXANS!

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Texans!
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Schaub's Contract
a bit off topic but, i’ll throw this out there.
via Paul Kuharsk’s blog , check out this article about teh Schaub’s contract.
The author takes a nice jab at the comicle as well.
seems the texans are only on the hook for 3 years and 20 mill.
on a side note, i’m in the “we should play Schaub till week 8 camp.”

Anyone seen the inactive list?
not posted on the Texans site yet.

Thank You
I see Big Nasty is inactive for the Jags. Looks like they have more faith than the Texans do that he will eventually be a player. Wish he wasn’t on a division opponent, but I wish the best for Charles.

Jags are down and hurt at key positions
if we don’t win, then we are not good. I still think there is a good team waiting to emerge.
Texans 23
Jags 20

Randy Cross
said a key to Houston victory is “score on defense.” That doesn’t say much about your O when you need the other side to score.
Then again, he’s a twit.
Yay, sports.
Key to victory
“Al, I believe the team that has scored more points after 4 quarters will win this encounter. Keep an eye on lineman ass-sweat, as that’s a good indicator of who’s winning the battle.”
by DisplacedTexan on Sep 28, 2008 11:59 AM CDT up reply actions
If the teams are tied after four quarters...
I think the team who can put some points on the board first in overtime is likely to win.
Yay, sports.
Way hot & humid today, good call
could be a game where the better conditioned team wins in the 4th quarter

Another 3rd and long screen pass, have seen too many of these
by oiler-texan diehard on Sep 28, 2008 12:08 PM CDT reply actions
Signs of Life?
At least Schaub was completing his passes, I guess. But those calls on second and third down reeked of “let’s play field position.”
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Some good that did us
Brilliant downfield coverage guys.
by DisplacedTexan on Sep 28, 2008 12:09 PM CDT up reply actions
Dear Defense
Please… for my sanity… stop someone, somewhere on third down. I’m begging you. Or I may have a total meltdown.
XOXO,
DT

(Love ya, Mario, but I really need you to step up today.)
Yay, sports.
Do we have the dumbest special teams ever?
Because it sure as shit looks like it. How do you not call TO there?
Yay, sports.
Ahahahahahahahaha

Fuck me.

Wow, we seriously suck
No fucking excuse for not being ready for a fake punt especially in THAT part of the field.
by HoustonDiehards on Sep 28, 2008 12:14 PM CDT reply actions
That's exactly what I wrote down
Why NO TO?!

They all looked around
with collective thumbs up collective asses. Great. Thanks, Coach Joe. You twat.
Yay, sports.
That
Is fucking embarrassing. Great job by Petey, too, what with his attempting to strip the ball instead of just fucking wrapping the fuck up.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Maybe Kubiak accidently threw the challenge flag
…instead of calling time out. Sigh.

What a waste
I mean, we actually for ONCE started off well on defense… and that. I love this team… and I hate this team.

Kubiak's cell phone number ,,,
We really could help
No he learned his lesson
We’re gonna kick the FG

Oh sure...
you go with the percentages and fail last week, so you are too pussy this week? Awesome. YAY, RESULTS-BASED THINKING!!!!
Yay, sports.
Quick!
Turn this into a field-position game so we can then get gashed for 30-yard punt returns and 40-yard fake punts.
It's Always Something With The Texans
Schaub looks decent, so special teams are awful. Fucking awesome.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
New record?
7:30 minutes into the game and the mood here has shifted into “cynical depression” already!
by DisplacedTexan on Sep 28, 2008 12:23 PM CDT reply actions
That fake punt
was pretty depression-inducing. No excuse for that. NONE.
by HoustonDiehards on Sep 28, 2008 12:23 PM CDT up reply actions
Wow.
I make no secret that I approve of how the Texans are building a team, especially on defense.
That said, on 4th down, Jack Del Rio is completely untrustworthy. Even if it looks like a punter is on the field…

It is too simple to complicate
It is a KO formation, a punt formation …
Doesn’t mean that is what is going to happen.
A lot of fans...
Would expect it. Me? I just hope.

You might be feeling “good” things and or “optimism”… I suggest immediately numbing it with booze.

Done and done.
I’ve actually been drinking since 6AM because I was finishing a brisket.
In happier news, the brisket turned out ungodly good.

Jacoby sighting YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
by oiler-texan diehard on Sep 28, 2008 12:28 PM CDT reply actions
Why Is It?
That I’m terrified every time Jacoby touches the ball? Like I’m just waiting for the ball to squirt out?

Defense is off to a good start
Take away that fucked up trickeration and we’d be all square.

Schaub
He’s had two opportunities so far to dump down to the RB, and has gone downfield… I think that’s a good sign.

Slaton
Did an AMAZING job picking up that blitz on second down.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Love
Super Steve.
SOLIS, you should re-run the Slaton piece if he has another big game.
Yay, sports.
Super Steve
Is there anyone on the team playing harder than he is right now? These guys need to feed off of his effort… everytime he touches the ball, he goes balls-out.
by DisplacedTexan on Sep 28, 2008 12:32 PM CDT reply actions
Every time I watch the Texans
I go balls-out with my drinking.
Chris Taylor nearly made me lose my mind.
Yay, sports.
YAY AND UGH!!
Gah he almost lost the ball

Taylor
Came awfully close to coughing that ball up. Yikes.

I’m scared. Someone hold me – we aren’t allowed to have the ball this long.

Here we go again.
Once you get into the red-zone, it’s important to back-track for a few plays in standard Texans fashion.
Sigh
Do we or do we not have Andre Johnson on this team???

That's Just A Rumor

I like the Texans stuffing their run. On 1st down we actually had our guys loaded up at the line. Garrard will have to pass today . He is a manager not a playmaker.

When we held the draft, I was pissed about the Brown pick (my bad), but I thought Okam and Slaton were steals. So far, I am about 2/3rds right on those guys. Just need Frank to pick it up a bit.
