in Non-Texans Game Threads
Email
PrintWhile your Houston Texans won't kick off in Baltimore until 3:05 p.m. CDT, that doesn't mean you can't share your thoughts about the non-Texan contests that start at noon CDT.
The first thread for Texans-Ravens will post at 2:45 p.m. CDT. Until then, consider this your open thread for today's early games and/or a depository for your thoughts on the Texans game as kickoff creeps closer.

I was really hoping we'd get Detroit and SF.
Cowboy country. Sigh.

Yeah SF Detroit would have been my first choice.
Who do you get for the early game though? Cowboys are a late start.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Philly and Washington
(I’m guessing) solely because they are NFC East rivals of said Cowboys.

Hopefully with the Texans RB backfield FINALLY at full strength
The run game will show up today. If the Ravens shut it down like the Raiders did it will be another long day for the offense.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.

it's time to fucking win
time for them Texans to be relevant and let the league know they need to prepare their anal cavity.
I would also love to see some of those “darling” teams to fall today. Bills, Lions(even if it’s a 9ers win)

Lions fans are arguably the most longsuffering in the NFL and only a few years ago went O-fer.
They get a pass from me. I hope they win every week. For those of you who aren’t sold on Smith, imagine if you had gotten stuck with Millen like they did.

Joe Flacco is pretty terrible
Its not outside of the realm of possibility that we pull off an upset. We don’t have too much trouble putting points up against good defenses.
I disagree there.
Yeah he had a horrible game against the Jets but he’s not terrible overall.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Flacco seems terrible because the Ravens don't play to his strength
which is the deep ball. First, Harbaugh’s offense is a tad conservative and passes stay in the medium to short range a lot. Second, they don’t have the deep speed guy that can run under anything. The guy has a howitzer grafted to his shoulder, but you would have to go back to college film to see it.
What you said was right though, if all things remain the same, he is going to continue to underachieve. Which, for today, is fine by me.

he's not going to say anything new or insightful
it’s gonna be some super obvious comment like “Matt Schaub is not an elite QB and makes mistakes in critical situations”. bet on it
Close.
But yeah he just said in not so many words. (He can’t win a game by himself.The defense on average has given up 30 points in their loses they score 23 but give up 30.).
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Or as another way
He’s not Peyton Manning.He won’t hang 40 up on you when the defense gives up 37.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
you can count on Matt Schaub...
to be Matt Schaub. Which is an under-handed way of saying no, he can’t be counted on to win an important game. As long as he is behind center and Kubiak is on the sideline this is a mediocre team at best.

Boldest prediction of the day.
Jacoby Jones hits 100 yards receiving today.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
I thought he would last week.
And he would have to if he and Schaub could connect. With a better run game today and improved play by the O-line I think it will happen.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
I'd love it. I was really looking for him to have a good day last week. Didn't quite step up like I expected.
B-Dub is picking him to have a big week..
'Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.' -Frank Herbert
Well, certainly he has the opportunity.
Dinged up Ravens CBs and all.
Depends on what kind of improvement he can show in the offense. I’d say 100 is bold but I wouldn’t be surprised if he approached competency and got 4-6 catches for 70 or so.

I would love for this to be true
but if our OLine couldn’t pass protect last week, I hate to think what could happen this week. Schaub could end up in traction – and many (not me) would celebrate, for various reasons.

'Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.' -Frank Herbert
Yes.
Not only is she hot, she is so utterly ridiculous that she’d probably damn near kill you in the sack. And that makes her extra hot.
She scares me
And I’m not sure if she does that in a good way or a bad way.

Packers are scary good
in a whole other level kind of good. I’m pretty much indifferent to them (not a fan, not a hater), but it would be nice to see the success balance around. Unless something changes, they look to be returning to back to back championships.

I'm really going to try to take every given opportunity to express that Gary needs to get out of the play calling business.
Schaub knows the game. Period. Give him the reins.

This is for Rivers (and other statheads) cause I know he loves numbers like this

Key stat: The Texans are 3-0 this season & 26-3 under Kubiak since 2006 when rushing the ball 30+ times in a game

So just script 30 straight runs.

That rule is irritating.
The Detroit receiver clearly had possession and got both feet down. The only reason he lost it going down is because he was trying to whatever netting/wiring was on the ground behind the end-zone; you can see him clearly change his stride and use his other hand to accomplish this.
Bad referees are bad.
Did I speak too soon?
Well, I’m shocked that they actually made the right call there.
