Open Game Day Thread: Houston v. Jacksonville

Houston 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!

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.

http://www.examiner.com/x-778-Houston-Texans-Examiner~y2008m9d23-The-truth-about-Matt-Schaubs-contract.

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.”

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.

Texans 28
Jaguars 13.

Go big or go home, bitches.

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   0 recs

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.

At least Schaub was completing his passes, I guess. But those calls on second and third down reeked of “let’s play field position.”

That said, on 4th down, Jack Del Rio is completely untrustworthy. Even if it looks like a punter is on the field…

STEVE.

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.

Yay, sports.

I’m in love with Steve Slaton.

Let's commend this defense

If not for the complete and utter embarrassment of horrible coaching on the fake punt, this game is not tied.

The Defense, combined with J’Villes banged up O-line is looking good.
