Texans thread.

Their oline is bad. If MacDonald can come up with a working pass rush, maybe we can overcome the injury ridden secondary.

Ya mean like yesterday?

Maybe I’m reading this wrong but the way it’s written it sounds like we have been having trouble getting to the passer. Is that how you meant it to come across? Our pass rush has been phenomenal this season. The only game we truly had an issue with it was the Bucs game and they came right back for 7 sacks this week. The Bucs are a good team and very well coached. Our front 7 is the saving grace of this defense. Getting pressure won’t be a problem. Containing the qb when he decides
To take off is where there could be a problem.

If you want to be concerned about our defense I’d be much more worried about the quick passing game because our current DBs can’t seem to cover 75% of the time.

Like most have said in this thread, I expect our pass rush to have a big day. The only game the Texans have had a good offensive day is when the played the injury ravaged Ravens D last week. They had trouble with the Titans before that.

This will be a big challenge on the other side of the ball. Their D is really good and get after the passer in a big way. I don't know how good their run D is but I do recall with the game on the line, the Bucs ran well against them back in week 2.
JSN probably facing the biggest test he's had this year against Darrel Stingley Jr. I don't know if the Texans's MO is to have Stingley follow the #1 receiver or not. If they do, look for him to follow JSN. The other corner Kamari Lassiter is no slouch either.

I think this may be a game where Tory Horton, AJ Barner, and Elijah Arroyo could become major factors.

Agreed. They might have to

1) Our home field advantage now sucks. Pains me to say that but the record doesn’t lie. 1-2 at home this year to 3-0 on the road. This has to be one of the more perplexing stats about this team I can think of at the moment.

More down to opponent luck than anything else.

We get our hometown swagger back this game

I did not mean it the way that our pass rush is not good. I meant to say the pass rush can win this game and I hope McD focuses on that. It should help the backups who make up our current secondary.

But yeah, I see why it was taken that way.

Totally.

I think it’s funny when comments like this pop up.

If Seattle can just do what it recently did, they might stand a chance!

After watching Jags beat KC, Giants beat the Eagles, Atlanta beat the Bills and with Home field record. I wouldn't underestimate any team.

The Texans are a flawed team, but they are a tough out. They've won their last two games and are coming off a bye. Their three losses were all by one score. They lost to the Bucs by 1 point, 20-19, and lost to the Rams 14-9. Another tough game, for sure.

Can we change their name back to Oilers?

Can we change their name back to Oilers?

People round these parts used to have a saying….

“Micky Mouse wears a Bud Adams watch”

We came very close to living out that exact nightmare.

 

[toffee]

win by 3 TDs, if not more.

 

[onanygivensunday]

win by 3 TDs, if not more.

I hope you're right. I foresee the final score being more like a 6- or 7-point differential.

Kudos for receiving critical feedback on your post, not getting butt-hurt over it, and clarifying what you meant.

Cheers to you!!!

I'm just hoping a little Monday Night magic can offset our homefield DISadvantage.

Hawks record on MNF is good, right?
