Texan in Japan
Rookie
I watched the Steelers crush TEN today and Willie Parker and Ben R. were awesome. I'm afraid we're looking at 0-2 heading into bye.

Thanks for your support!
I think thats a given (which is sad because no game in the NFL should be) I just hope they can atleast make it interesting.Texan in Japan said:I watched the Steelers crush TEN today and Willie Parker and Ben R. were awesome. I'm afraid we're looking at 0-2 heading into bye.
Just in time for the bye week. Plenty of time to get a new coaching staff in place. Someone make a call to Ed Biles and Hugh Campbell. We need them now more than ever!Texan in Japan said:I watched the Steelers crush TEN today and Willie Parker and Ben R. were awesome. I'm afraid we're looking at 0-2 heading into bye.

can I interest you in some great real estate in New Orleans?WWJD said:Have some faith. It's just one game in a long season.
I do think even if the Texans bring their A game it'd be hard to beat the Steelers but this Texans team is much better than what they've shown.

Exactly! The offense was not ready and preseason had a lot to do with this.El Tejano said:The Texans shouldn't even bother coming home. That's right I said it. Everyone got on me when I threw a fit after the Bucs game but these guys proved me right. This offense hasn't been ready and will not be next week.
So, where have you been since the 2nd half of last season? Our offenseWWJD said:Have some faith. It's just one game in a long season.

began looking bad a long time ago...much better??? Where does this thought
have its roots?
I think the reason is that fans are frustrated with the fact that the issues this team has had for a long time now, issues that were supposed to be adressed this off-season, are as evident as they were the last 3 seasons. When a team members themselves (coaching and players alike) focusses on fixing the problems on the team during the off-season and they don't, people get upset.WWJD said:I've never heard such doom and gloom after one game....the Texans have certainly not played well on offense. That's obvious. If fans don't think they have players that can play much better I don't know what to say....Carr can play much better, Davis can play much better, Andre can play much better. Get the drift? The operative word is CAN. Will they? Yea I think so. If others here don't think so you might as well call it a season right now. After the first game it appears many are doing so.
First the coaches have to put the best talent on the field, instead of leaving it on the bench. Second, I don't think some of the coaches know how to improve players/help them learn a system - which is what I thought coaching was.Malloy said:I'm sure that most fans around here would agree that there is alot of talent on this team, if this talent knows how to work together and if the coaching can make this talent work, that's another matter alltogether.
All things considered after the "game" yesterday, we didnt get a chance to tell if the TE position had improved. Murphy and Bruner had a whole 2 catches between them. They didnt really seem like the problem.Texan in Japan said:Since I'm in Japan, I could only listen to the Texans game and track it on gamecenter.
It seemed the Bills defense kept us off-balance and did a great job of disrupting our passing game and limiting our running game.
Our defense for the number of times we turned it over did a pretty solid job of keeping the score close...it could have been a lot worse.
However, our offense needs a stud LT,a solid C and a versatile TE. Our defense needs to put pressure on the QB...we just can't seem to make the 3-4 attack like we should.
Although I'm a homer and usually try to remain positive, I'm really wondering if the Capers/Palmer combo can take us to the play-offs. I wouldn't replace them at the bye, but would wait until mid-season to evaluate our progress and potential. If we're 2-6, I'm looking at who should be the next head coach. Its interesting that Jimmy Jones was seen with McNair. If you look at our core its comparable to Aikman (Carr), Smith (Davis) and Irving (Johnson) when Jones was there. I hate to speculate after one game, but this is depressing!

Willie Parker, where'd he come from? 161 yards in his first start? Last season he had 186 yards in 8 games and now combined (2004 and 2005) I think he just surpassed Tony Hollings career totals if Tony plays the next ten years.Rightnow said:I can't wait until next week. The Steelers defense is the number one in the league and their new running back Willie Parker racked up 161 yards against the Titans. Whoohooo! It's going to be a close one.
I say: 38-3 Steelers win it.
Perhaps we should go ahead and bench AJ and Dunta. No point in getting them hurt in a losing effort. Carr can stay in, he can set one record: most sacks ever.
How do you know this? Don't tell me they have talent, without showing me i games. just go out and do it.Games are not won on paper, games are won on the field, until this teams shows it can win on the field, there will be little faith.WWJD said:Have some faith. It's just one game in a long season.

you are ....Until Casserly or Capers has to actually play QB or run the ball behind that line they will NEVER understand how pathetic it really is ....Unfortunately this will never happen so dont expect any results ... Until Mr McNair gets FED UP and Fires the lot of'm.Hervoyel said:You ever hear that overused line about the definition of insanity? It goes something like "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different outcome".
The Texans are starting their fourth year without a line that can get the job done and yet they expect a different outcome. I don't anymore.
He came from behind that Steelers O-line ..... Hell , even Hollings would avg 3.9 a carry behind those guy's . Well , maybe thats a stretch but you get the idea . You really think Ben is that good'a QB or does the fact he plays behind an O-line that gives him plenty of time make him look so good ? I think a LOT of his success has to do with that O-line and the fact they dont have to pick the guy up off his can every time he drops back to pass .Hervoyel said:Willie Parker, where'd he come from? 161 yards in his first start?

Damn...I hate to admit it....but you're right. It should be battle red for that reason and that reason only.Double Barrel said:This next game should be Battle Red...so that all of our players' blood doesn't stain our clothes from the massacre on the field.
Although I wish I could say different...I don't have a good feeling about next Sunday.
Maybe Battle Red and BAGS ...SBTexans08 said:Damn...I hate to admit it....but you're right. It should be battle red for that reason and that reason only.
Undrafted free agent last season....he did put up 102 yards in the last game of the year in 2004 against a buffalo team that had to win to have a shot to make the playoffs.....granted he did this with 2nd and 3rd stringers around him.....Hervoyel said:Willie Parker, where'd he come from? 161 yards in his first start?

some of the posts in here are freakin hilarious......there is no way the Texans are as bad as they looked yesterday...that said....unless the OL can play much better or your secondary can actually cover someone....it will be a long day next Sunday....

corrosion said:Lets start by saying .... Our secondary is probably the only bright spot on the team .... That said .... Go ahead and look past this game on your schedule , act as if it doesnt exist .... here's the Patriots home page http://www.patriots.com/homepage/ .... Im sure you can find their MB from there .... :brickwall
yeah yeah yeah....but you guys let Aaron Glenn go.....and I for one am happy as hell.....Hervoyel said:You're talking about a team who beat your Steelers in 2002 with only 47 yards of offense. Technically speaking from that game to this one we're only 73 yards better than we were then so yeah, we suck pretty bad.
CoolieMan said:don't get all pissy....Didn't I point out that the texans were not as bad as they looked yesterday....I was really hoping they would beat the hell out of the bills since their fans are ignorant.....
