Week 3 VS Broncos. Lets Predict :)

[Thorn]

Some of yall seem to forget the power of Da Watt. Manning hasn't seen this defense yet except in film. I predict a very close game won in the 4th qtr. I'll say by whom after I watch the game tonight.

And our defense is well rested.

And with that film, my fear comes with the clinic Drew Brees put on KJ in last season's week 3 game.

I want to reserve a prediction until after watching tonight's game as well, but my gut says it will be a last man standing game.

We all know that Peyton can't get comfortable and I like our chances to disrupt him all game long. That and securing the rock will be KEY. I would LOVE to see the tricycle put a smile on Kube's face this week!

Factors:
thin air vs short week for Denver

Texans RBs vs hopefully tired D

Texans LBs versus TEs (Dreesen?)

KJ versus #2 WR

Walters and OD vs middle of field

AJ will be a factor only in tying up more than one defender.

Texans win

If somehow the Texans win, then I will truly believe this is a Super Bowl team.

After a win over an extremely overhyped Broncos team?

I wonder if Joel Dreesen will screw us over Sage Rosenfels style. Just thought of that. That could be the game changer.

Final score in overtime. The Texans Vs. Manning rivalry is reborn.

Seriously though, the key matchup here will be Kareem Vs. Decker. Manning threw equally to Thomas and Decker, and he went to Decker a couple of times in the endzone, Manning will surely test Jackson more than Joseph.

You don't kick the extra point in overtime.

Did you not get enough attention when you were a child?

It was against the Giants and he was the backup qb at the time. I think it was Cushings rookie year or the year before. Essentially he told the Giants a good deal of information about our offense and we couldn't get anything done that game. Google lance zierlein and sage rosenfel's revenge. On the crackberry so I cannot paste links.

That could happen with Dreesen. He could tell the Broncos everything about our offense and we struggle because of it.

Oh, am I on the wrong board? I was thinking this was the non-groupthink board. My bad!

[silvrhand]

Does anyone have stats for peyton manning vs. Wade Phillips defense?

Your a Texan fan. This is our best team ever. We just got through playing what was one of our most dominating games in 10+ years and you predict we get killed 31 to 13 by a team we should be better than. Just seems like something we used to see Richard Justice write. I guess It could happen, not sure how someone could predict it though.

I don't see this logic with the 2012 Texans. While he may be able to relay some plays, they still have to stop our offense. I would like to think our audibles have changed since last year as well. The zone blocking scheme negates some of the worry as well. I'm just not that worried about what Dressen could tell them.

Being a fan has never prevented me from seeing things as they really are.

Kubiak is notorious for having a sorry record on the road against winning teams.

The Texans have never beaten a Peyton Manning led team on the road.

If I'm going to offer a prediction I'm not going to lie for the sake of going with the rest of the group. I prefer to be honest. I'm crazy like that.

Sorry if that disrupts your delicate sensibilities.

I don't think that's the case. At least, he's beaten winning teams on the road and I think there are coaches who have worse records on the road against winning teams than he does. So I think "notorious" is a bit hyperbolic.

Perhaps he's just notorious in my eyes. As of the end of last season, Kubiak is 3 and 20 on the road against winning teams.

I only went back to 02 (is anything before that relevant? Prob not)

Atl
2003 25/30 290yds 5 TD 0 Int
SD
2004 27/44 383yds 2 TD 1 Int
2005 26/45 336yds 1 TD 2 Int
DAL
2010 36/48 365yds 2 TD 4 Int

The one vs Atl was a real bad team. Wade took over as HC I believe. They were just terrible. Manning, for the most part, has put up a lot of yards but inefficient as hell.

Texans - 17
Brocos - 14

I think this gonna be a great, close game. Peyton always does well against us.He also has a good offense, and a pretty good D to back him up. Miller is the real deal, plus more.

I just think or D will be out to wreck shop, and show thy are the real deal!
