Open Game Day Thread: San Francisco v. Houston

San Francisco 49ers at Houston Texans, Oct 25, 2009 12:00 PM CDT


Does the lose-win-lose-win streak end today at Reliant Stadium against the 49ers? An actual winning streak sure would be nice. I'm no expert, but I think a team hoping to post a winning record is going to have to put together at least one winning streak at some point during the year.

Leave your pre-game, in-game, and post-game calculations and cries out to the heavens in the Comments below. GO TEXANS!

Yes

I think we win this game and finally win back to back games this season.

We are the only team right now with at least a .500 record that hasn’t one back to back games… consistency is what this team needs.

The coyotes were howling last night!

They were singing in unison, “We want a win!”

I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?

by Rip Jersey on Oct 25, 2009 8:30 AM CDT via mobile reply actions   0 recs

I approach every game

With the idea that we’re going to lose. However, and I hate to jinx us, I think we’re going to win, and win handily.

I don’t see the 9ers stopping us too much on offense considering their weak pass rush, and I’m confident we can limit Gore’s effectiveness. We should be able to get some consistent pressure on their QB as well. I look for our d-line to have a lot of hurries and hopefully a few sacks.

When I'm on the mic, I'm like global warming, you can't ignore me.

The Texans have to win games like this. Period. If they hope to be playoff contenders.

Time for them to step up.

They have all the weapons they need. They have to execute like pros and pray we don’t get too many injuries.

I also hope that I don’t have to take my girlfriend home today so I can get drunk while I watch, because a two hour drive requires sobriety. Boooo

Hmmm...

I think this’ll be the first game of four solid quarters at home, but the 9ers ain’t gonna roll over easily. Going with:

JUGGERNAUT: 34
49ers: 24

dunta

after the “pay me rick” incident, he hasn’t done or said anything detrimental to the team. he doesn’t dive anymore, and last game was the first in which he hit while planting, meaning he isnt thinking about his injury as much. like it or not, Dunta is our #1.

Respectfully Disagree, Chris

Dunta’s still diving. In fact, he did it a couple of times last week. Wasn’t nearly as big a deal, though, because he tripped up the ball carrier.

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

Also, Houston is ranked dead last – by a mile – against the opposing team’s #1 WR.

question for Tim & BFD

how much of that the “Fuck dunta” sentiment, vs. how he’s actually playing? what if he stays, and signs a new contract? his teammates love him… his coaches love him. i love him! lol.. what would it take to get u guys to love him again?

me

He’s just been really bad this year. He’s got to improve. When Shake was sending me text updates last week, it seemed like half of them said “Fuck Dunta.” Upon watching the game, I had to agree.

To me, he just isn’t the same. I’m not actually a “Fuck Dunta” guy because that makes it too personal, but he’s been pretty bad. That makes the difference for me.

Personally, I’d definitely put him behind Frenchy and Quin on coverage abilities, then maybe even McCain.

If the juggernaut loses today, that would be three home losses already. I simply do not picture that happening this early in the season. Plus, we cannot let a Sand Aggie make his NFL debut be a successful one. Not after his alma mater lost to the actual Aggies last night. So weak.

our stats will go way up if the Raiders make the playoffs like Seymour predicts, right?

I guess stopping a run-first Gore-led offense today might take us another step towards silencing the nay-sayers about our defensive improvement?

The Hump

The 3-3 start is tied for the best in franchise history. No team has ever gone 4-3. No team has ever been above .500 after the first month of the season. That needs to change.

This franchise needs to win. The 49ers are good, but we just saw a Falcons team shred their defense. The Texans have the talent to win big and if this franchise ever wants to sniff the playoffs it needs to start today.
