Three And Out: Useless Predictions For Sunday's Game

PrintWith the onset of the 2008 football season, it's also time to resurrect your favorite in-season weekly feature. Enough with the preamble...here are three (3) things I guarantee will happen in Pittsburgh this weekend (Note: All guarantees are sure to be incorrect and are not guaranteed):
1. Matt Schaub throws for 270 yards and 2 TDs, though he'll also throw an interception. One of said TD passes will be to Andre Johnson, and we'll all remember what a ridiculously potent connection those two are.
2. Special teams will loom large, as Apostrophe Davis returns a kick for a TD. In related news, Jacoby Jones will make one play in the punt return game that makes me want to chug bleach, and we all begin wondering whether David Anderson should take over punt return duties.
3. Super Mario continues his tear through the NFL and sacks Roethlisberger. Lest you think I'm not being bold enough with these predictions, try this one on for size: Earl Cochran sacks Big Ben as well.
PUT YOUR NAME ON IT: When the schedule first came out, I called a win for the Texans. While I'm much more worried about the pass rush now than I was then, and remain just as worried about the secondary, it's the first game of a new season. If there was ever a time for unbridled optimism, this is it. Houston Texans 24, Pittsburgh Steelers 20. Drink that Kool-Aid!

Since we are tied for first place in the division, and since our special teams will score two TD’s, I’d say we pull an upset. 27-21
the best thing for our anemic pass rush
is game one against an OL that isn’t good at protecting their QB!
This could turn out well for the confidence of the DL.
Now lets all turn in our suggestions for defensive blitz packages so we’re not so “vanilla”
Healthy and Turnover free 2008-09, and we win 11!
Put C Thompson or Adibi on the field and say: see that big white dude with the ball? Crush him.

I'm looking for
325 yds, 3 Td’s from Matt 2 to AJ
2 sacks from Mario and 1 from Demeco
GO TEXANS!!!!!!!!!
Love To See That
But DeMeco getting a sack would probably require Richard Smith calling a blitz, and we all know that’s about as likely as pigs flying.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

yes, but
since the roster is pretty much set, RS is now feeling the heat more than any other texan on the payroll.
I think he has the weapons, and this is his year. Or he’s out. Hopefully he knows that.

Ahman Green gets 15 carries for 50 yards and does not get hurt.
Steve Slaton gets 10 carries for 55 yards, and 3 rec for 30 yards
Schaub does not get sacked and throws for 250+, 2 TD’s, 0 INT
Mario gets 2 of the Texans 4 sacks, Bulman and Kalu get the other 2.
Okam shows he can clog the middle and play good run D.
Texans win 24-23

Oh well so much for my lousy predictions
McClain says Texans have no chance. He needs to move to Dallas.

I hope our
TD to FG ratio approaches 3 to 1.
Its usually at least the other way around.
