Open Gameday Thread--Houston v. Jacksonville

by Tim on Oct 14, 2007 10:23 AM CDT in News

Is today the day that the Texans raise their record in the lifetime series against the Jaguars to 7-4? Will the return of Ahman Green spark a lifeless running game? Will the Texans defense make Jags fans long for the glory days of Byron Leftwich?

Leave your pregame, in-game, and postgame revelations and observations in the Comments below. GO TEXANS!

Thanks, Chris

Best of luck to you today. But I hope Super Mario rips Garrard's head off and holds it aloft for stunned Jacksonvillians to see.

Re: Admission

How did you think the Texans would finish the season, Outlaw? Despite today's abhorrent performance, I think this is still an 8 win team. Definitely not a playoff contender though.

And I have no idea where the sacks went. We had one on the first drive, and then that was it.

by Tim on Oct 14, 2007 2:56 PM CDT up reply actions

Re: Admission

8-8. What bothers me is the break down in the defense. Joey Harrington, Lemon and Garrard were throwing the ball all over the place. How many sacks ... in three games... is it three sacks ?

Harrington, Lemon (Green) and Garrard were all previously sacked into the double digits.

We shut the Panthers and the Chiefs down on the ground but that's been it.

Teams are running and passing on us and we aren't getting pressure or sacks. Not a good combo.

7-9 Would be a huge disappointment. If they keep playing like yesterday 6-10.

At least

The Titans are losing as well.

And we're going to head into our bye week at 3-3, which is a respectable .500.

Re: Officiating

I can't remember ever seeing a crew this terrible.

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

Positives of Today's Game

Kevin Walter.
No one got hurt.
No need to worry about a complacent team greeting VY next week.

Salaam

got hurt, i beliebe.

Re: Salaam

Though he got used today, that would be a big loss. Mostly because it would force Jordan Black in at LT.

Re: JJ

Definitely not at WR, though I think he was out there for a kickoff. Correct me if I'm wrong?

Another TD

Guess who? MoJo Drew on a 57 yarder. All of this "Run Defense Is Stout" talk should cease immediately. I'm an idiot.

Good decision; don't need to get The Schaub hurt now.

Ugh

So much for that back against the wall speech.

Quick observations:

We couldn't stop the run
We couldn't run the ball
We don't have a red zone threat
We still need help at LT and RB
We shot ourselves in the foot, leg, ass, belly, throat, eyeball, and temple. We also slit our wrists, while sitting in a tub with the toaster.
