Freddy's Letters: It's A New Season!

As the legend of Freddy grows, so does his access.
In fact, he recently received the address of none other than Roger Goodell himself. This came in handy this week, because there really wasn't much mail to write to Gary Kubiak. Freddy is nothing if not a problem-solver, so it's hard to figure out quite where he'd start with a Texans team that bloodied the remnants of the Indianapolis Colts.
However, there were still plenty of problems about the Texans that weren't really resolved, so as soon as Freddy got back home from a soccer game, he decided to write to the one man that he hoped could fix it. Join us behind the jump as Freddy tries to figure out just what happened yesterday to the Houston Texans. Apparently they played, but only in a "tree falling in the woods" sort of way.
Did you know that Peyton Manning Peyton Peyton Manninged the Peyton? Pass it on.

I don't think NFL postpones games because of rain right?
forecast for Miami on Sunday is for rain. Its gonna be a hot and humid game if it doesn’t rain.
speaking about that
Whats the deal with lighting? i remember the ND vs USF game had to be suspended for awhile due to lighting. Im just curious about the NFL’s policy on the that
Lightning can delay a game
But it’s up to the lead official to call it. It’s a tad rare and the only time a game is called can only be made by Goodell (Big rarity).
Man this time of year it rains almost everyday in florida its not like rain here though it’ll rain for some time and than stop and be sunny again I lived in florida and it would rain for at least 30 min every day seemed like

I'm not convinced
That the Dolphin’s passing attack was good, or that it was just NE defense is bad. I tend to favor the latter…The Patriots defense was pretty bad last year wasnt it?
Yes it was bad last year.
McCourty was no match for Marshall last night. To bad Henne was off so much.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
JJo's next receiver to try to shutdown.
Is it me or does anyone else feel interested in all the battles with JJo vs a team’s #1 WR? It’s a match up I pay close attention to.
I just think it's funny...
…to hear all the enthusiasm when our defense comes back on the field… It is a wonderful, different kind of experience.

I’ll be interested if they keep that up or if they start moving him around to match up with a specific WR.

That was the largest halftime point total in an NFL season opener since 1994 when the Colts led the Houston Oilers 35–0.

Also.
Kerry Collins was seven-for-10 with 9.1 yards per attempt and a touchdown against the Texans’ base 3-4 defense. When the Texans had five or more defensive backs on the field, he was nine-for-21, with 5.0 yards per attempt.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.

Precisely.
Not a surprising stat. It should probably be the case for every QB in the league.
heard. It's gonna be a tough game for the texans.
They have to realize Miami will be ready. They have a good running game and henne looked pretty good tonight. Their defense is supposed to be good according to gruden on MNF.
everybody is good according to gruden. i kno what ur sayin tho.

They don't have a running game anymore.
Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams are both gone. Their defense is (or was) good. Patriots have just steamrolled them.
Henne has been off a lot and the offense was out of sync when they needed to score but he did rack up a lot of yards. Not sure what he’ll do next week but the team will have to rely on him.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Defense just needs to focus on Reggie Bush and Brandon Marshall
Chad Henne has not got as much pressure as I thought he would. Hopefully the texans will apply enough pressure.
i think we have more pass rush than the pats.jojo will keep marshall in check.we might have to worry bout screens, but i doubt bush will b able to run too much up the middle.which it seems so far is a lil bit of a weakness for us. plus, who covers andre?

Well Henne's stat line looks good
But he was terrible in the redzone. Marshal had at least 2 TD’s that Henne couldn’t deliver. The offense was stagnant almost the entire game until they started getting into garbage time. And even then they couldn’t finish. They can’t run at all either.
Looks like the Pats are just like last year. The defense sucks but the Offense will carry them throughout the year.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
You know your running game is bad
when your QB has more rushing yards then you HB. Especially if your QB is Henne.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.

Quick question
I have a dilemma. As I mentioned in previous post I am going to my first Texans game in November I want to order a customized Texans shirt from NFL shop.com and on the back of the shirt I want to put Battle Red Blog were the name goes. Would I be breaking any copyright laws or anything by doing so? All I want to do is represent this awesome site but I dont want to break any rules by doing so.
Just get a BRB T shirt from Tim

by TheDream34 on Sep 12, 2011 10:32 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
Game was only close because the Dolphins lucked out on the INT.
The offense did nothing after the opening drive until that INT return. Pats were in control on offense nearly the entire game with little resistance from the Dolphin defense. They got stopped a couple times but the Dolphins were terrible on defense. Routinely gave up huge plays and had to bring the house just to get any pressure on Brady. Yet when they did he still burned them bad.
Henne overthrew Marshall on a TD. Nearly threw a redzone pick on a drive that ended with a FG when they needed a TD. On fourth down he completely over threw his receiver giving him no chance. Of course he tacked on a garbage time TD after the game was out of reach. He’s going to have to play a lot better than that. Overall without a running game the offense was to stagnant for to long.Even with the Pats horrible defense they couldn’t get any of the offensive consistency the Pat were getting.
And of course the Dolphins can’t run the ball now without a RB. Henne lead the team in rushing which is all anybody needs to know about Bush’s ability to be the guy. He started hot but quickly faded away.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
