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

[BigLouie]

Texans won but looked like shit. Total offense was like 230. If it wasn't for 4 picks Texans could have readily lost. Don't expect much from them in play offs. And now they have no draft picks in the first or second round next two years. I predict they will trade away another first in the next two years

Texans BARELY won because the Bucs beat themselves. Winston overthrew at least two TD passes. And those 4 INT's didn't help either.

Titans again on Sunday. They looked pretty damn good against the Saints. Texans need to be ready again.

To the AFC PLayoff scenario. It looks like the Texans will host the Bills in the Wildcard round. Titans and Steelers are fighting for that 6th Seed and whoever wins will go the Kansas City.

Texans need to play better. They can't be bullshittin' heading to the playoffs! And they can't sleep on the Bills. If they win, I'd rather see them go to New England instead of Baltimore.

Texans lost and honestly i don't expect them to beat the Bills

[boardman]

Today meant nothing for the Texans. They didn't show anything we haven't already seen. Pretty basic offense and defense with several 2nd teamers. I think they have enough to beat the Bills and I'm afraid they will. If they do they'll ru n into a brick wall in the second round but unfortunately it will be enough to keep the status quo. And they still don't have a fucking GM to give them a bearing!

Do the Texans stand a chance in KC? I say yes, but Deshaun will need to be great from the start of this one. We will need some turnovers to stop the Chiefs. Gonna be cold so that hopefully will slow down the Chiefs passing attack somewhat.

Glad JJ is back. My prediction is Cheifs 27 Texans 24. Maybe 31 - 27.

[DarthMaul]

We need to run the ball, but I fear our defense is not enough to handle the task at hand.


Chiefs 26
Texans 19

Well, friends, I am or was for the Chiefs but will say now, enjoy your home field advantage next week and hope your defense can figure out how to stop Derrick Henry. That game at Ravens was not a surprise to me! Enjoy! My sleeper teams for the SB have always been Titans and Seahawks, but what do I know!

[Solemate62]

Ooops! Spoke too soon?

[obnoxiousram]

Kansas City gets it done.

[boardman]

That pathetic ass defense...

They get handed a 24 point lead and can't hold on to it for even 1 quarter.
Something's got to change. BoB isn't going anywhere, hell he's the defacto GM. As GM he needs to put Romeo out of his misery and get someone in there that can stop today's offenses. He wasn't going for the knockout with that blundered fake punt he just knows he doesn't have a defense or a defensive coordinator that can stop a mobile QB.



I didn't think the Titans stood a chance against the Ravens. Vrabel proved that a solid defense and a ball control offense with a bruising back can still wins in this league. He went for the jugular and then kept going back for more. Derrick Henry was a beast and credit to that O-line for making holes I could drive my truck through. Tannehill passed for 88 yards...He didn't need to do much else.

Derrick Henry is a monster. Did you see how ripped up his shoulderpads were in the post game interview? He's punishing people. He looks 260lbs.



Lamar had 500 yds offense. Let that sink in. Although I think Vrabel had a good defensive scheme turnovers, which Lamar was overdue for, finally caught up to him.

The kid, Jackson, and the whole flock of Ravens were all so caught up reading their rage reviews and what a juggernaut they were, the basic premise was forgotten: The game is won or lost on the gridiron!

[Daddio]

Lamar Jackson had 59 pass attempts vs the Titans. I bet my left nut(that's a big wager, lol) that the Ravens don't ever win when he throws it 59 times.

BO'B is a dumbass and his offense sucked yesterday too. Sure you will never win when you give up 51 points, but we handed them 14 with the fake punt and the kickoff return fumble. They handed us 14 also with the blocked punt td and the muffed fair catch that led to a 5 yard td drive.

So the Texans offense only really scored 17 points. That won't beat the Chiefs. Failure all around the Texans Coaching staff. And now we have no draft picks to fill the holes on Defense. Not that the Clown did shit for Seatle but we needed pass rushing help for sure.

[SLAMMAN]

What was JJ Watt's stat line? What was Clowney's stat line? When your best defensive player is shutout, you're not to win the game.
