Three And Out: Useless Predictions For Sunday's Game

I'm going to get this post up as quickly as I can, lest another Texan be ruled out for Sunday's tilt against the Jaguars and render my rock-solid (read: baby soft) predictions moot. To wit:
1. Your Houston Texans couldn't manage a single sack in their first meeting with the Jags. This time, the Texans shall notch three (3) sacks of David Garrard. One for Mario Williams, one for Antonio Smith, and one for Connor Barwin.
2. No Rashean Mathis means a big day for Andre Johnson. I foresee 132 yards receiving and a TD for 'Dre. Bonus prediction: James Casey scores his first NFL touchdown.
3. Chris Brown manages a rushing touchdown. Without fumbling the game ball away. He also finishes with 73 rushing yards, on 16 carries, on the afternoon.
PUT YOUR NAME ON IT: As I told the guys on Big Cat Country Radio, I'm predicting a Texans win, based almost entirely on the notion that the Texans are going to go on a run over the next four weeks, in order to suck us all back in to believing in them before laying a monstrous egg against New England in Week 17. Crushing disappointment is our destiny. It's coming, but not this week. Texans 34, Jaguars 28.

Way too pessimistic
You can’t be properly reeled in with a 34-28 win.
Texans win 41-13, dominate both sides of the ball. The Jags score all their points on set-ups from 4 Dunta Robinson penalties, leading him to be pulled for Fred Bennett, who starts playing excellent football and leaves us puzzled as to where this was the last two years.
The run game is relatively ineffective, but Schaub throws for 358 yards and 4 TD’s. Kris Brown makes a few long field goals and is perfect, and the Texans notch 5 sacks. Frank Bush’s blitzes actually work against the weak Jags offensive line.
Now we’re properly set-up for later disappointment!

Evening Game
Why can’t our games be evening games? This way we don’t have to waste out whole Sunday either being pissed and/or drunk due to our outcome. Let’s face it, our team knows how to end all hopes of humanity.

HAHA!
I’ve thought the same thing so damn many times.
Because of the whole being a father thing, I can’t exactly drink during games. There’s no more time when I NEED copious amounts of alkihol.

I thnk we win
But the let down comes well well before the pats game. St louis!

Yup...
…I got the Texans winning a tough game in Jacksonville (for the record, this does start a winning streak where they head to 8-6 against the Dolphins and Patriots).
Texans 31 – Jaguars 23. Let the misery be prolonged!
Andre Johnson could have a 200 yard game-I'M serious!
Sacks: Eugene Monroe shut down Mario Williams on his 3rd game..I don’t expect such good things; but I think it will be 2 not 3.
The Chris Brown predicition will not happen.Frank Gore run for 33(!!!!) yards in Frisco(!!!) last week. We shut down Thomas Jones in New York; Mashawn Lynch and Fred Jackson combine run around 70 yards. You will torch us in the air; but forget this sunday about your rungame-not will happen..
Prediction: I have SERIOUS FEARS about this (I’m not so confiden like my fellow freind at BCC. Houston has a historxy making troubles against us. I think this game will be a high scoring duel-which might end in Overtime. I just HOPE for a Jaguars win…

Hate to break it to you
But the Niners and Bills O-lines aren’t so great. The niners lacks talents, and the bills are basically missing both their starting tackles and a guard or two.
The Jets O-line is one of the best;
and Thomas Jones went nowhere in the Meadowlands. Steven Jackson did nothing on the ground. Our Run D is good! Everything else on D is stinks but the Run D is good (it is in the Top 10!)

Its not like you have to worry about our run game anyways we stink at it this year. Your weakneses correspond to our strengths and vica versa. If we had Quinn and Eugene Wilson in this game I would say our run D is good, but they aren’t so I won’t.
Okay
I respect your LBs (Cushing&DeMeco) might the best LB’s in the AFC South..
By the way how is Connor Barwin doing over there?

2 sacks this year, hasn’t done much. He was kind of a project when we took him, he had only played DE for one year in college and was a TE before that.
If that cheer you up
Derrick Harvey (who was drafted to bewcome the sack king fore us -trading away 5 picks to catch him at #8 )has no sack this year.
To be fair with Derrick he became a prety good run-blocker

funny
A friend at work is a huge Jags fan, and he talked about basically the same things. He thinks we’re going to blow y’all out. I called him nuts. This is my favorite respectful rivalry.

Yes!
I like you guys more then The Titans and the Colts too. I think there is a chance that the Texans blew us out. But if somehow we win; the Jaguars made a much-much bigger step towards playoffs then many would think.
Can’t wait until Sunday!

I made that mistake once a season
And Seattle blew us out. That was enough lesson. I’ll be in battleteam when you are still sleeping 6 (or in Houston’s case I think maybe 7) hours I’M ahead of you so…

We’re going to have to think of a new BAN for you. Maybe SUPERBAN. With extra MF.
That’s right, you’re taking your lesson.

If the Treasury Secretary doesn't have to pay taxes, then why do I?
I think.......
This should be the game where Kevin Walter gets 2 TDs and close to 100 yards. Since Chris Brown sucks, and Baby Shanahan doesn’t like running it anyway – Schaub could approach 400 yards passing, too.
But if we can’t tackle MJD, it won’t matter. I am afraid MJD has a monster (4TD game) against us. I’m scared.
More good news
our second best (yeah he is) DB Sean Considine will be also out with a concussion-like injury
I predict now 250 receiving yards for Andre. He can win (or lose) this game alone…
By the way I heard Jacoby Jones is ruled out for tomorrow"s game. IS that true?

Yeah it is true
Jacoby Jones missed the plane so he will miss the game.

by AllenOU on Dec 5, 2009 11:33 PM CST via mobile reply actions
was the o-line
they’ve been hit or miss all year. but the play-calling sucked, and, yeah, Colt couldn’t hit the side of a barn yesterday.

Three predictions
1) The Texans score some points;
2) The Jags score more points, probably in the most gut-wrenching way possible;
3) Miserable existence continues.
When I'm on the mic, I'm like global warming, you can't ignore me.
amazingly #3
existence gets more miserable
Smushiak will take us to the playoffs in 2009.
Gotta give it to Timmy
all three were dern close.
Score obviously off the mark, but kudos on the game predictions!
