Texans 41, Titans 7: Post-Game Open Thread (/points at HasseLOLbeck and laughs derisively)

If you'd asked me to describe exactly what a curbstomping of the Titans would look like, my answer would have been very similar to the game you just watched.  (The only difference being that Cortland Finnegan would have been beaten into submission by Matt Leinart.)  It's almost like the Texans read my doubts about them and decided to make me look silly.  I am fine with that; it's not the first time I've been wrong.

Anyway, here's your post-game open thread.  Fill it with fun, merriment, jokes at the expense of the writers of certain blogs, etc.

Seriously ... 41-7.  Suck it, Tennessee.

I think the religion has something to do with it

but he’d be a leader with a great personality even if he were an atheist communist. I do think that there would be less Tebow love if he weren’t an overt evangelical, though.

Hmmm...
“I especially hate it in MMA and Boxing. "I just want to thank god for giving me the power for punching this dude in the jaw 27 times and disconnect him from his senses."

Tell me ONCE when that has ever happened, just like that.

Not trying to get this into religion, but I would imagine the thanking God is more in the “thank you for protecting me” rather than the “thanks for letting me beat this guy’s ass” sense of the phrase, but what do I know?

I really, really liked that play.

He bought his receivers more time to get open. Unfortunately, they didn’t. But the result of the play is inconsequential; Schaub needs to do more of that. Especially against defenses that are more aggressive than Tennessee’s.

Then we have the Jags again, then the Falcons. So by the time he comes back, we could anywhere from 9-3 to 7-5. Which is pretty good. We’ll get Andre Johnson (GoaT) and James Casey back as well.

No offense, UT and you can certainly call it whatever you want, because you can

But, for me, calling it anything but a tough stretch , because this Texans team is only 4-3, would be doing the team and the rest of the NFL a disservice. This schedule is tough every week. Nothing is a given. Fluffy? The Raiders at home was supposed to be a Texans win and it wasn’t. There is no fluff out there to be had. It’s one game at a time for me.

I still say there is no fluff to be had. This team has to play every week, every half and every quarter. This team is known for taking parts of games off and that cannot happen in the NFL. Stats don’t matter. The only stat that matters is the W at the end of the game.

No, you're right, none of them are gimme games.

If they were there’d be no point to playing them. But it’s not like we’re facing the creme de la creme of the NFL. The teams coming up don’t worry me the way Pittsburgh did or New Orleans or Baltimore did. I’m just saying I still like our chances with a lot of the teams left on the schedule.

He runs like he's afraid of contact

When he was drafted, Mayock said he was hesitant to run in between the tackles. The Tits excellent o-lines covered that up for a while, but now that the o-line sucks, he can’t go inside or outside.

Cushing pwned the shit out of him today. Cushing is becoming an all star again.

I don't know

I think Rick Smith has surprised me in the last year with some of his moves. DeMeco is a defensive player so I expect that Wade would have a big say in any trade that involves his ILB. I wouldn’t rule it out. I will say this. I think NT and WR will be the big needs in the draft next Spring. But, I can see an ILB in the 3rd round. A big, mobile ILB who can shake off blocks and stuff the run.

the blocking is shit terrible

but CJ is also not quite himself. i think his problems are mainly frustration and trying to do too much, and that’s a product of seeing your blockers’ asses coming right for you on every play. give him what you guys give Foster and Co and this would be a non issue.

the biggest thing is he always used to overcome the bad blocking, and right now he simply can’t do it.

There's also that.

Thing is

Shelf-life for a running back is so short, I don’t think there is much room for optimism when someone falls off a cliff like that. Besides, it would also involve fixing the o-line, which seems to need a lot of help.

As much as I don’t like to see him succeed, there is no doubt that when he’s on, he’s a thrill to watch. So from that perspective I hope he comes back.

Tits/Titties have provided me a lifetime of pleasure. No way they should be associated with those baby-eating, sister-fucking, team-stealing minions of BeelzeBud. IMHO.

I was thinking earlier

what a stroke of dumb luck it was to have him active today with the kick returner going down. If it hadn’t been a broken bone I would have suspected his leg had given him trouble.

I am not big on Holliday and my criticism has been mostly on his stone hands, which today, did not look bad at all. He caught the ball in traffic and handled the ball very well.

On a good note – when Matt Schaub has time and isn’t getting killed – he plays pretty well.

I'd imagine so.

He’s good for two or three per game.

When people were analyzing him as a free agency option this year, nobody ever mentioned that. His coverage skills were always highly touted, but he constantly delivers punishing hits.
