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

[One-Eyed Willy]

Looks like I'm not the only one who's pissed about Cush not getting selected. In this podcast(bout the 5:49 mark), after answering questions about his health and recovery, Coach Wade P. busts in (like he was pissed the interviewer didn't ask) and says, "How Cushing didn't get selected is beyond me!, He's got at least 160-180 tackles by our count, and that's our coaches count, the correct one!"..."He is one of the best I've ever coached and I've been around a long time!".. For Coach P so say that alone almost puts you in the hall of fame. Hell, how many greats has he coached? and Cushing is one of the best? Poor coach Phillips, he's proud of the way his players have been oing all out and is taking unneeded stress over lack of our D to the PB roster.

Even without my battle-red, liberty-white and deep-steal-blue shades on, I think Cushing is the best LB in the game for this season. He is a gotdamn beast!! If I ever met Dre, I'd want a piggy back ride or have drag me by is coattail like he did Terrence Newman. If I ever met Foster, I'd want to hear some of his poetry and see what he thought about some of mine. If I ever met Cushing, I'd run, hide, lock my self in a cage somewhere and start throwing garlic, holywater and crosses at him.... hehehe

BTW There are reports out there that Cushing should have took Ray Lewis' spot on the roster.. Check it out

And I'm not necessarily surprised about the typical lack of respect for the rest of the D, but for Cushing not to make it is just craziness in my mind and a BIG story. Toward the end of the podcast, Dre sums up the pro bowl pretty well and laughs when they ask him if he thinks Finnergan will help him knock some of that rust off. This is one of the best Texans podcasts I heard this year! After listening to it, you wouldn't even know they just lost to the Smurfs in the oil field. I feel much better about this game. I was about to predict a L, but now am predicting a W!

BT, to be clear, the part I agree with is the scoring of our anemic offense (or lack of) the last few games and the fact we need momentum going into the Playoffs. I disagree with your assessment of you-know-who and we have discussed it many times (most recently at the Ritz)....:

Bro, I take it one step at a time. You took a giant leap forward by saying that you are starting to see the light. The light might be dim today but eventually it will glow brighter. I suspect by the time the Texans season ends you will take another giant step by proclaiming the Texans were not as good with the Rook at the helm as they were with the slow, weak armed but savvy veteran with a clear understanding of the offense he directs. It just takes a little time. But you will get there!

You are not like the Dopey Dude who goes through life as if it were Fantasyland. He is the type that will go to his grave believing that 16 points per game will bring you wins in the NFL and 27 points per game will bring losses. That is why he is affectionately referred to as Dopey Dude Daddio!

[houstonlala]

u should take ur homegirl.... : )

[Satin]

Damn babe, so you found me huh? lol. I would take you, but you have to promise to behave yourself. This is a football game, not club Club Cave or a strip club...lmao. You also have to promise to wear a cheerleader outfit when the game is over. You're so hot and freaky my buddies BT, Cat-Man, Daddio and Easye will be jealous when they see you.....

Damn fellas looks like the Texans are not the only ones with their hands full....

[DEAR_JOHN]

'Dre still may not play against the Titans. I was hoping to see him play for at least the first half to shake off the rust. This just makes me wonder how bad the hammy really was. No doubt he want's back on the field.

I hope you're right but I do not see us scoring 30 points. The D will rise to the occasion and lead us to a narrow, hard fought victory.

Texans 17----The Hated Titans 13.

[Rubchasertx]

BT, I think I agree with you as far as our boys not putting up 30 but I could see 23 and shutting down the Titans completely. All they need to do is smack CJ0K in the mouth a few times in the first quarter for him to give up. I like that AJ is playing even if they have him on a pitch count. All he needs is a play or 2 to make cuntland fagagin look like the bitch that he is.

Either way, the Texans are locked into the 3 seed so the game doesn't matter as much to us. I am pulling for my boys (as I always do).

Prediction: Texans 23 - Titans - 10.

[One-Eyed Willy]

Yeah good arguments against that 30pt prediction.. But I'll stick to it here is why.

#1 Texans avg 24pts per game pretty much w/out Dre.

#2 He is back! hopefully for good this time!

#3 TOP and 3rd down conversion heavily in favor of Texans. These are battles lost in the last 2 games. There is heavy emphasis by Kubes to fix that. I believe they will.


What I don't know is since we are locked at #3 It's hard to really predict what will happen with rotations and sitting guys for the 4th..

[TheDon]

4 hours before kickoff, gota last second feeling we rest all of the defense...got texans winning 24-17

I like the Eagles, Falcons, and Indy.

St. Louis hopefully gets the first pick and Luck can Fuckoff to the NFC

This morning looking at Dallas vs NY, I woulda picked Dallas, but now....I don't think so. In fact, I give them a vote of no confidence. Hopefully I get proven wrong, though. I need Dallas to be good cause that's the team I plan on using in Madden..

Life is too short to be consumed with hating. But there are 3 football related items that are on my short list of things that I hate. The Dallas Cowboys would certainly be at the very top of that list! The Cowboy fans would be a close second. The Titans are my #3. (I can tolerate the Titans fans) The list is now complete! (Please note: I have not put anything to do with the Houston Texans or any of our players on the hate list.)

The following is about the best thing I can say about the Dallas Cowboys and their fans. It goes downhill from there.

Ahhhh, I feel much better now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
