Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Open Game Day Thread: Houston v. Jacksonville, Part Deux

At halftime, your Houston Texans and their embattled QB look legit. Words cannot describe how joyful I am right now, save the inappropriate questioning of Joe Marciano's lineage after that inexcusable reaction to the fake punt in the first quarter.

Keep it going, folks. Second-half game day thread is here.

Much, much better

This time around. Maybe we are the best 0-2 team out there.

Also, I know why Kubes didn’t call time out on the fake punt. He was saving his timeout for a failed challenge.

Also, there’s a good TVants stream available at www.myp2p.us.

Odd playcall

Why would they use that? It’s a bust of a play against us.

by DisplacedTexan on Sep 28, 2008 2:25 PM CDT up reply actions  

Seriously

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that play work against us. Our CBs play tight coverage.

I'm stationed in Jax for three more months then going to

San Diego. The jags don’t hate playing us. They always assume that the game will be easy (at least in the media) and they always seem to think that they will smoke us. They are stupid.

The live scoring

on my DNT league shows KW with 19 points for me and Schaub with 30. I’m up on my matchup 80-16.

That would

be a no-call in some other games I’ve seen this year.

We'd better start calling time-outs.

Cause we’re gonna need a minute to get back down the field on offense.

The record?

The coaching?
The secondary?

Yay, sports.

So what do we do here?

Does Kubes have faith in the D to not give up a TD, or do we start using time outs?

C'mon

Time for a turnover

Bring the house here.

four plays in a row. If they’re gonna score, let them score quickly so we can get the ball back.

Should be ashamed of themselves. David Garrard just destroyed them.

Still, it's not over

Obviously… one time out though… Kris Brown is money, but he hasn’t kicked THAT many PRESSURE field goals.

by HoustonDiehards on Sep 28, 2008 2:41 PM CDT reply actions  

Field goal?

I’m not familiar with that term in this situation.

Amobi Okoye is awful.

God damnit.

I think we’ve been sub 20 yard-line on every single kick-return so far.

by Nashmeister on Sep 28, 2008 2:42 PM CDT reply actions  

I think so too

"...and if I claim to be a wise man, well, it surely means that I don't know". SL

We gonna take some shots at the end-zone?

It’s a bit ballsy… But god, do you want to leave this up to a coin-flip?

by Nashmeister on Sep 28, 2008 2:44 PM CDT reply actions  

Brown

can do this!

Normally I'd be pissed.

But Schaub doesn’t exactly have a track record of great red-zone decisions.

OT

One more chance

Awful snap, too. You almost lost this game for us, Pittman.

You can spend all of your first-round picks on defensive players, but if you have a shit-ass defensive coordinator you’re still not going to stop anybody.
