NFL and Houston Texans Superthread: Are we ready for some football?

[boardman]

That game yesterday was an offensive stincker. How many balls did the receivers drop? What's up with that? Keenum's touch or something else? Keenum didn't get sacked but he got hit a few times. All in all the O-line has improved but we need some more 1st rd. talent there if our young QBs are going to have a chance. They block way better on the zone stretch than they do head up. That may have something to do with Foster having time to read more in the zone stretch though.

Defensively we've made a couple of top QB's look really bad the last couple of games.
The secondary is starting to look like a team.
The Ravens running game had no chance against our front seven. Even though he missed this game I think Mike Mohamed is a player at ILB.
I don't know what else can be said for JJ on or off the field. I hope we haven't put him on too high of a pedestal.
I believe both of our starting corners are FA after this season but like I've said before there is some talent there in the younger players.

Keenum made some plays but he is not an NFL starting QB. There aren't any good QBs available as free agents and we have no shot at Mariota. I'd like to see Mallet battle Savage for the starting spot next year. I saw some things I liked in Savage especially the ability to stand and move in the pocket and that quick release. Obviously his footwork and accuracy needs help but that can be learned off season.

Bullock's gonna be OK.

We've improved by 6 maybe 7 wins this season. Considering a rookie HC and terrible QB play I'd have to say it's been marginally successful. Hopefully BoB can install an OC that can run his offense and put more time into personnel. Rick Smith needs to go or defer to BoB in most cases.

Looks like my Steelers are back in the Playoffs and the Texans...still have a chance


Thanks for whooping up on B'More for me Texans

We can root for the Browns and the Chiefs to win but they're too inconsistent.

[boardman]

Cleveland might be starting an undrafted FA next week against the Ravens.
No way they can win...Oh, wait!

[BigLouie]

Actually a lot of people in Cleveland like Conner Shaw better the Johnny or Hoyer

Let the games out, let the games play out, this is the Motherfucking NFL, anything can happen, hell the Fucking Jags can come into our house next week and win. This league is full of parity week to week. Stranger things have happened in the past.

Don't forget about who the O coordinator is for the Ravens, we had so many let down/shit games under that man, and the Ravens had that exact same "Texan" type of performance that we were notorious for yesterday. It is absolutely not impossible for them to have a repeat performance against the Browns.

I feel for the Chiefs, they haven't won much since Eric Berry went out. Hope they are able to rally in their home finale.

Let the games play out, I made the idiotic mistake of trying to simulate all the wildcard teams a few weeks back, totally pointless. 20 minutes of my life I will never get back.

[Daddio]

Donny boy, spend your time simulating laying pipe instead of the NFL games, lol. But don't take 20 minutes doing it unless you pop twice!!

I heard on the radio that the D knew what was coming because they practiced against the Kube's Offensive Juggernaut in practice everyday, it sure looked like they knew what was coming. He must have left a menu behind somewhere by accident. Can't believe Harbaugh puts up with that shit, Kubes might get him fired!!!

Rick Smith has to go!! Fuck him!!! He was part of the Kubiak Denver connection, we need to cut all ties to that bullshit and go the way of the hoodie yoda patriot fucker.

I like B'OB's fire. They said he gave a great pre game speech to the light the dynamite before the game. The D was Dynamite, the O was a firecracker. Got to hand to Case Keenum for coming out of the Tree and the deerstand to QB us to a win. Is he the answer, probably not, but we don't have the answer on the roster right now. Heard we were one of the teams they say interested in Cuntler, lord I hope not, he is like a Vegas Hooker, looks good but upsells the shit out of you and doesn't perform.

Beware of the Jags, my spidey sense is tingling that they could fuck the Texans this week. JJ probably won't let that happen, but you never know.

Chiefs beating the Chargers, I could see that happening.
Browns beating the Ravens, not quite so likely, although hopefully Romeo will pass the menu to the Browns D Coordinator. Browns D is decent, but they will probably need to score as the Browns O will likely be conservative or shitty or both.

In the unlikely event that all the scenarios play out and the Texans get in, who do we play? Indy or Pitt/Cincy? None of those teams scare me too much but they all have much better QB's than we do. I knew the Mallet Titty gate would come back to haunt us!!!

[jstone420]

The Browns are trash the Ravens should beat them again. Kansas City will be ready to play they have a slim chance to make the playoffs. But texans an chiefs need the most help

Lmfao!! Appreciate the words of wisdom, Daddio!

You already know I'm on the Get Rick Smith the Fuck outa town bandwagon. I think the Browns will at least play the Ravens close, regardless of who's at QB for them, it's a division game, and the Ravens fucked that city by leaving them in the past, I'm sure they will want to fuck them back in the ass any chance they can get, so they have motivation to play spoiler.

Jags actually scare me too, but Watt always does well against Rookies, as does our Romeo, I think we should be good, but it's another division game so I'll expect it to be close.

Keenum the Texans QB for the future?

That guy is delusional. The Texans would have won with just about anyone the defense is playing so good. If the Texans had even an above average QB they would be Seattle. There was a reason Keenum was on the practice squad on a team needing a QB. I see BoB having all three compete for the spot next year and Mallett winning the spot easily.

[AlexisMoore]

Texans tried this year...horrible draft and season , oh well. Now the Cowboys. .them my boys. Lol. At least they are top dog.
I can't wait for playoffs. I love my football regulars, makes Sundays interesting. And this play off season, I plan on having lots of fun...

I'll have to disagree with you there BL. You have heard of the LOB right? The Texans DB's are nowhere close in size, stature or performance. Those fella's are unreal up there. I'm a Niners guy but have big respect for Seattle and their defense.

[jstone420]

Tell him again Dr there is no team in the league like Seattle defense

[BigLouie]

Saw one report today that Rick Smith will be relieved of his GM duties but will remain with the organization. One can only hope.
