Seahawks coming to town. How will the Texans lose this one?

The Seahawks are coming to town and it looks to be a pretty even matchup given the way they are playing right now and our trainwreck + injuries.

 

The question has to be asked, how will the Texans lose this one?  Cast your vote!

Im voting for all of the above minus the Seattle being good thing

To all Houston sports fans, Houston is the 4th biggest city in America, there will be traffic on the way to your respective sports game. Come Early, Be Loud, Stay Late.

If they were healthy I would be concerned, but they haven’t been in a couple years. They could still knock the shit out of us though.

they could

but i would attribute that more towards the Texans sucking than the Seahawks playing well. Realistically we should win this game, but who knows what will happen. We are at home though, but I guess that means we are more likely to lose this season.

I'm hoping for

a defensive struggle.

I have a secret desire to see this defense finish in the top 10. At least be in the top 10 going into the Pats game.

Smushiak will take us to the playoffs in 2009.

Chris Brown...

…continues his role as Double Agent…

17 carries, 43 yards, 2 fumbles.

Fans better have the beer ready.

200 Td's by Justin Forsett.

That would seal the win for me against the Currymakers.

by Jordann on Dec 9, 2009 4:58 PM CST reply actions  

No

He’s just somehow even worse than the hot garbage we trot out in the secondary every week (B. Pollard excluded).

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 9, 2009 9:53 PM CST up reply actions  

The "hot garbage" secondary

that is 14th in pass yds allowed and 14th in pass TDs allowed? Yeah we look bad at times, but the stats show that overall we have been better than average against the pass.

Wilson was good. Busing and Barber are not and comparing them to garbage is not that out there.

by nolander on Dec 9, 2009 10:21 PM CST up reply actions  

Dude...

I appreciate the stats argument, but c’mon…you watch the games. Would you really say that the Houston secondary is in the top half of the league?

by Tim on Dec 9, 2009 10:57 PM CST up reply actions  

Yes, yes I would

call me crazy but stats have to mean something. We get little pressure on the QB, our run D is not great but the secondary has been holding their own. Pollard is playing much better than anyone thought. Wilson was good and we desperately miss him. Quin looked real good for a rookie. Dunta sucks. Reeves has been 50/50. So in my random grading system you get Pollard +2, Wilson +1, Quin +1, Dunta -2, Reeves, +.5 which equals 2.5.

I think people are underrating our secondary because of the Dunta hatred and the lack of INTs, but the question you were asking is if we are in the top half and honestly thats hard to say because I havent watched every team in the league enough times to really evaluate, thats where stats come in.

RE: Watching games

I’ve said the same thing.

The stats don’t mean jack.

But nope.

Apparently, stats are everything and our secondary is the best we’ve ever had since. Ever.

by Jordann on Dec 10, 2009 10:12 AM CST up reply actions  

Well… when has it been better. I mean that means almost nothing but really, its mostly solid minus dunta and our backup safety’s.

by nolander on Dec 11, 2009 1:07 AM CST up reply actions  

I kinda meant what I said about our secondary this season

being the best we’ve ever had.

But on another note.

Our secondary is still pretty damn bad.

by Jordann on Dec 11, 2009 1:11 AM CST up reply actions  

How about

halftime adjustment that for some reason puts Chris Brown into the game who coughs it up giving the Seahawks the lead which consiquently allows us to drive to field goal range only to be wide left from point blank range.

by sammocyr on Dec 9, 2009 7:36 PM CST reply actions  

Chris Brown is starting

so I like that you say we’re adjusting to put him in (again).

That means he sees some bench!

Smushiak will take us to the playoffs in 2009.

by texanphil on Dec 9, 2009 10:03 PM CST up reply actions  

Well, how have the Texans NOT lost before

You just know we’ll find a new way to blow the game after going up 2 tds. It will be unforeseeable and result in various trips to the emergency room by the fanbase.

by BigTexBD on Dec 9, 2009 9:44 PM CST reply actions  

Well if your in houston…
at least the tailgating is the best.

by Ivan A on Dec 10, 2009 12:41 AM CST reply actions  

So, I take it the Texans are also a bad second-half team?

I guess we can all quit watching after the first two quarters, then, because the outcome will be decided.

by Fearless Frog on Dec 10, 2009 2:02 PM CST reply actions  

No...

We only play one half, we just don’t know which half it’ll be.

Last game against the Dolts, we only played one quarter.

It was a magnificent quarter though.

by nolander on Dec 11, 2009 1:07 AM CST up reply actions  

I foresee.....

a game like the 9er game. Big lead for the Texans early then crumble, crumble Defense gets tired…….

GO TEXANS!!!!

Our time will come...

by Texanmaniac on Dec 10, 2009 2:34 PM CST reply actions  

Texans lose...

Because of Ed Wade.

Don’t ask me how, just know it will happen.
