Hello all!

Obviously, I'm a SeaHawks fan. But There are two teams in the AFC that I find myself following or rooting for. The first is the Texans (Waaay classier than Dallas fans), the second is the team the Texans have beaten the last two years in the playoffs.

I am very much looking forward to the game on Sunday, and I have to say, regardless of what happened in Baltimore, this is a game that has me a bit worried.

Our All-Pro left tackle is on injured reserve with a return designation, and our guard play has been shaky at best. That didn't prove too detrimental against the Jags, but the Texans aren't the Jags. I expect to see TE Zach Miller helping quite a bit with JJ Watt, so you shouldn't see him releasing into the secondary very often.

I also would guess that the 'Hawks are going to try and run the ball a lot. You won't see a whole lot of 5 to 7 step drops from our QB on Sunday. I'm guessing you'll see more 3 step drops, play action, and roll outs. If not, Wilson is going to get hit.

On the other side, I have a pretty good feeling about our defense that is getting healthier going against your banged up offense. And Schaub is a statue, so that works in our favor.

But all in all, I expect a close game with the result hinging on turnovers and a few big plays where they can be had. Cheers to a good and injury free game on Sunday!

:slapfight:
 
Welcome to the board, I'm sure there will be some good football discussion leading up to the game Sunday. Everyone here is pretty pissed off at our team right now. The Texans better come out as angry as the fans are right now.
 
I expect most Texans fans to watch the game, see your QB perform compared to ours, and want to jump off their balconies. Fortunately here in Houston many homes are single story, and very few are more than two, so it will be mostly just sprained ankles and nicks and bruises.

Welcome ...
 
Serious question - would you trade Wilson for Schaub if you could? Either this year alone or going forward.
 
Welcome to the board, Seahawks Fan. I hope we have a good game (that means we blow y'all out) and the Texans can get back on track.

The Seahawks have an awesome secondary, but I think we match up well in several key areas. Hopefully there are no injuries and the good guys win.

Welcome! I respect the Seahawks a great deal. Are you sure Russell Okung is "All Pro"? I believe he's a pro bowler, and that's a great accomplishment.. But All Pro is a whole different tamale.

If the game comes down to turnovers, I think you guys have the advantage. To be honest, our only turnovers of the season come in the form of INT's. We have been pretty good about not fumbling thus far. **knock on wood**

I think you will have a hard time running the ball against us. But, Russell is a savvy QB who can throw bullets down the field.

Seahawks are a much better home team, so we have that going for us.

I think it will be a good, hard fought game.. With the Texans coming out on top.

No. Absolutely not. Never ever. Russell Wilson is the absolute truth.

Peyton Manning set the rookie record for TD passes with 26 while throwing 28 INTS that same year. Russell Wilson tied his record while only throwing 10 INTS, and only 2 over the second half of the season.

Russell Wilson was second all time for rookie passer rating at 100.00 (RGIII was like 100.04 or something)

Russell Wilson owns the rookie record for consecutive passes completed at 17

Wilson is currently the 3rd highest rated passer in the NFL at 109.6

He's got wheels, and he can run. But he's a passer first.

Matt Schaub is Matt Hasselbeck2.0

I'm not so sure the question was "serious"

I wonder what it's like to feel that way about a Houston quarterback. It's been so long since the days of Dante and later, Warren Moon.

Honestly, I think David Carr could have been really good. I also think getting sacked that many times while QBing for an expansion team can be detrimental for a QB.

Also, the Schaub comparison to Hasselbeck wasn't a knock. We loves us some Matt Hasselbeck up here. Hasselbeck was the epitome of "goodness" and in his prime had some really great moments. But he did not have that "it" that makes great quarterbacks.

Guy had something like a 3.8 second snap to release time. He had the field awareness of Lacy Peterson.

I liked Hasselbeck, especially when he played with the Seahawks. He was a gamer. Good enough to get his team to the Super Bowl. The Tennessee Titans Hasselbeck wasn't. He was better than any QB they've had since McNair, but that's not saying a lot.

In his prime, in Seattle, I would have taken that Hasselbeck over the Schaub we've got today. Stat wise, I'm sure Matt blows him out of the water, but Hasselbeck didn't have Andre Johnson & Gary Kubiak.

Plus Russell is making about 500k this season.

I'm pretty glad a get to catch all the Seahawks games, as they're the local team here. The amount of talent that team has is sickening.

I'm glad that the Texans are going into this one pissed off as heck - because if we put a performance in like against the Ravens, it would be uggggly.

Side question - as Texas has seen a heck of a lot of homerism regarding Vince Young - what is the reception for Jake Locker going to be in Seattle when you guys play the tacks this year? Must be a few Husky alumnus looking to go for that one.

I doubt it's a big deal. If we had a competent QB in Houston, the VY thing wouldn't have been so bad. You didn't here Cowboy fans clamoring for Vince (even though they're more Longhorn fans than Houston is).

We chose to stick with a QB that had not done crap..... we gave him an extra $8M to stay... he had not won the heart of the fans. We passed on Vince & a year later we trade two seconds for A back-up.

I have a strange feeling it's going to be a repeat of the Seahawks-49'rs game. The home team wins in a rout. The Seahawks will see what a truly LOUD stadium sounds like. :kitten:

The Seahawks aren't clicking like that on offense yet. Plus, the Texans just took a bad loss and I'm sure it will wake them up some. I think it will be a close game with the Seahawks winning by no more then a touchdown unless our offensive line completely fails Schaub.

Well I'm not rooting against them. :fans:


That is just how I would see it if I was going to Vegas and betting my hard earned money on the outcome. Put it that way. :fingergun:
 
It's gonna be one of the following:

Texans curb stomp the hawks and expose them for not being there yet and exorcise the demons from the first 3 wks........

Or

Texans get destroyed and further embarrassed.

I know its tough to remember, but the Packers weren't exactly setting the world on fire before they came to Reliant last year either. They hadn't scored over 30 points before they played the Texans even against an all-time bad defense of New Orleans.

I hope we win, but I'm feeling a little bit like the the Little Giants right now about to play the Cowboys. But there is always that one time! (Movie reference)

P.S. I'm just joking Tex..... calm down buddy I haven't jumped ship even though I am worried.

Some SeaHawks fans wanted us to draft Jake Locker; I am not one of them. Locker is a slightly upgraded version of Tebow, intangibles and all, only minus Jesus and probably the whole "being a virgin" thing.

Just curious about your board name. Are you a 'Hawk fan from Sacramento? As I said, just curious.

Welcome to the board, btw. :)
 
The Texans will be 4-3 at the bye week. The Seahawks game is one of the two loses they'll suffer in the next four weeks.

:thinking: To whom would I compare thee Matthew Schaub?

The names:

Hasselbeck

Brister

Carr

Flacco

Romo

&

Grossman

come to mind.

ugh...you just had to go there, didn't you... :smiliepalm:

I really, really, really,really, really, really, really, really, really, really want to believe in Matt Schaub.

But I cannot disagree with your list* and I could never believe in any of those jokers....

*'cept for Flacco. Dude has a ring, SB MVP, and made some serious clutch plays last year that I have serious doubts MS can perform under pressure.
