Three And Out: Useless Predictions For Sunday's Game

I did a decent job last week, except for that whole correctly-predicting-which-team-would-win thing. I can now reveal to you that I actually did foresee the infamous Chris Brown halfback pass; sadly, I thought it was the product of a whiskey-induced haze and dismissed the power of my gift. Thus, I failed you yet again, BRB. It starts with me.

On to this week's surefire happenings:

1. I can't shake this eerie feeling that Matt Schaub's going to get knocked out of the game again via another piledriver to the turf on his non-throwing shoulder. That'll mean Rex Grossman, which will in turn mean turnovers and misplaced throws in bunches, which in turn will mean me getting my stomach pumped.

2. Dunta Robinson gets his first pick of the year. Unfortunately, he also gets flagged for pass interference on the same play, negating said interception.

3. Ryan Moats gets more carries than Chris Brown, finishes with an average of more than 4.2 yards per carry, and scores a TD. Even better, the number of passing attempts by Texans' running backs on Sunday reverts to zero.

PUT YOUR NAME ON IT: I probably should feel pretty good about this matchup. I don't. I'll call a Texans win, but if Prediction No. 1 actually comes to pass, that's out of the question. If Matt Schaub plays the entire game: Seahawks 20, Texans 24. If he doesn't: Seahawks 21, Texans 14.

How in Durga's name...

are we gonna score 14 if Matt’s out of the game?
Jacoby on punts? better yet…. FAKE PUNT BY TURK FOR A TD!

I got it now!

by beefy on Dec 11, 2009 4:36 PM CST reply actions  

I'm Assuming

That Schaub goes down after we’ve already scored a TD, and that we somehow notch another score later, just to keep us blindly clinging to the possibility that the Texans will somehow pull it out. Which, of course, they won’t.

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

by Tim on Dec 11, 2009 4:54 PM CST up reply actions  

I can see it already

We’re in a close game in the 4th seperated only by a field goal.
Kubiak calls for a fake punt return on our 30 4th and 10. (his reasoning, no one would see it comming)

Its crazy enough to work but its also crazy enough to get himself fired after the season is over.
Lately some of his 4th quarter offensive plays havent gone his way… maybe sunday they will.
He’re hoping.

by Shake on Dec 11, 2009 7:50 PM CST up reply actions  

What you need

Is a double reverse fake punt, throw the ball back to turk, who in turn throws it to Chris Brown, who was standing a few inches from the sideline so the opposing team wouldn’t see him. Brown then reverses field and throws a bomb to who else but… Turk, who found some wheels to get thirty yards downfield.

Sounds good on paper…

So based on the scores with and without Matt

if he doesn’t get hurt, he’s gonna block an extra point?

Mount Cody in round 1

No

Thinking more in the vein of the Seahawks scoring two TDs and two FGs in that scenario.

I think Kubiak really wants to develop the kid and feels its in his best interest to not play this year and just learn the game more. Or something.

If the Sex Cannon plays this will be the greatest game ever.

For Seahawks fans like myself, anyway.

But who knows, our team will find some way to fuck up the opportunity. I just want to see Sexy Rexy take another snap in the NFL.

#1 would be funny, but....Tatupu is out for the year.

Not that we’re slitting our wrists about it, David Hawthorne has been pretty solid in his absence.

#2: Trufant takes Chris Brown on a tour of the Pike Place Market before the game. During the game Trufant will intercept a ball, and then toss it back at Brown. Brown, assuming it’s a fish, will let it slip through his arms like a real fish, then Nick Reed will pick up the fumble and run it back for a score.

Dearest Tim

I’m sorry, but I have to agree with your analysis.

Even if Schaub gets us a TD before being injured while Winston misses his man and chop blocks Ryan Moats, putting him out for the year, there’s no way we get another TD.

In fact, Sexy Rexy will be so bad, we’ll actually start losing points. So, I predict:

With all Schaub: Texans 38-17 (I liked the guess above)
With some Rex thrown in: Hawks 63 (on several INTs returned for TDs) to -21 for us.

You can write that down.

What does homophobia have to do with football?

The Texans don’t “Blow”, excepting one maybe two games, they were in every game this year to the end and either could have or should have won each one. A team that “blows” i’d think wouldn’t even contest most games, they’d simply roll over and get routed. Instead this team when it falls behind fights to get back in the game, and while they have lost alot of close games this year, at least they have been close. There are alot of teams in the league who’d love to be the Texans right now instead of having an even worse record with a mix of has beens and never were on their roster. The Texans have the youngest team in the league, and while they are weak depth wise, overall they have a pretty strong nucleus of young talent to build around.
