The Night Game, Part 2 of 4

Although the Houston Texans are one of the NFL's two remaining unbeatens, there's suddenly a feeling of concern for Gary Kubiak's team.

Their problem, however, doesn't appear as troubling as what the Green Bay Packers are experiencing.

Following a season-ending injury to All-Pro linebacker Brian Cushing, the Texans look to regroup Sunday night when they host a Packers team coming off yet another discouraging performance in a stunning defeat.

Houston (5-0) is off to the best start in franchise history and has already begun to separate itself from the pack in the AFC South. Its path to the playoffs, however, took a major hit in Monday night's 23-17 win over the New York Jets, as Cushing suffered a torn left knee ligament on a low block by guard Matt Slauson.

"A big blow for our team," Kubiak said. "We have to have guys pick it up around him and we've got to find a way to move forward."

Cushing has a team-high 29 tackles and has led the Texas in that department in two of three seasons since being named the Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2009. He is also the emotional leader on a defense that ranks third in total yards allowed with 275.6 per game and fourth in scoring at 14.6 points.

Kubiak says Tim Dobbins, who moved into Cushing's spot Monday and finished with four tackles and a pass deflection, is "option No. 1" to replace Cushing in the lineup.

"It's a challenge for our team, that's what this is," Kubiak said. "We know Dobbins is going to go in there and play well, and every player in our locker room is going to take on a little bit more responsibility."

J.J. Watt is one player who is expected to help shoulder the load. He has eight pass deflections and 7 1/2 sacks, one-half less than league leader Clay Matthews of Green Bay.

What I want to see:

More OD in the slot.

When I saw this on the first drive of the game, lots of possibilities came up. I would be happy as all hell if we kept doing this.

Attack Rodgers and wreak some havoc vs. GB's iffy OL.

What Seattle, CHI and Indy did to #12 is known. Pressure on Rodgers turns the Packer O into something bordering on average. So, with that in mind, pressure him constantly. Barwin, time to get a sack!

Foster and Tate time.

This isn't going to be a long one. Run these two all night if you have to. The Packers allow 114 rush yards a game, so this is a nice way to keep that offense off the field.

J-Jo and AJ redemption.

Last week, fans/media said Joesph and Dre both had terrible nights vs. NYJ. So, what better way to make people say "that was last week" than to show out on the biggest stage of the week. I expect to see both.

Folks, this is the biggest stage in the regular season we've EVER been on. So what changes? NOTHING. 1-0 every week, that's the goal. Let's show the nation AGAIN how we do it, but this time in OUR building. Be loud, drown out any and every cheesehead you see and let's get this W! LETS MUTHA****IN' GO, TEXANS!!!

Re: Green Bay Packers @ Houston Texans. 7:20. 10/14. **Official GameDay Thread**

Let's make Reliant forking electric! I'm screaming the pillars off of reliant. Let's go Texans! See ya at the tailgate!

Re: Green Bay Packers @ Houston Texans. 7:20. 10/14. **Official GameDay Thread**

Quick question guys. Will the roof be open or closed at Reliant tonight? Not that it matters but I love to hear that extra noise making me deaf. It will cause the Packers to false start 5 or 6 times I bet.

I don't understand why we have a retractable roof to begin with if it's never open.

Not sure why this has become a competition this season. Shark has been starting these for several seasons.

Anyway, they are going to get merged. Yes JT you got your thread up a couple minutes earlier and the thread reflects that. I used Shark's title because it will be easier to search later.

Go Texans

Re: Green Bay Packers @ Houston Texans. 7:20. 10/14. **Official GameDay Thread**

i think the fans can win this 4 the texans but we got to be louder then we ever been and for four quarters and not let a big GB 1st down silence us

and i mean be loud when there in the huddle be so loud that it will force them to not use no huddle offense

Be loud, drown out any and every cheesehead you see and let's get this W! LETS MUTHA****IN' GO, TEXANS!!!

The roof seemed to be open more often pre-Ike (excluding the Ike season of course). I don't know if there were complaints about the sun, wanting more crowd noise, or if that's just the way the weather went, but I want to see some blimp shots of inside the stadium in primetime.

No. It was innovative. Now that time has passed and we've learned a bit more about why we have a domed stadium (The ****sburg game)... I don't believe we will be going down the retractable route after Reliant passes away. We have always been an innovative city regarding our athletic teams. Minute Maid park having the retractable roof reallly is a well designed and well placed stadium as opposed to Reliant. Reliant was a great idea. It just didn't pan out as well as Minute Maid.

Re: Green Bay Packers @ Houston Texans. 7:20. 10/14. **Official GameDay Thread**

First of two really big games in a row starts tonight.

GO TEXANS
