Houston Texans @ Detroit Lions. 11:30. 11/22. **Official Thanksgiving Day Thread**

[iLoveTexans]

Watt happened?

 

[Wolf]

Watt 3:16 says I just sacked your ass

 

[ChrisG]

nice hard count by Stafford

 

[Showtime100]

Umm. 3rd and 17.....CUT WATT!

 

[Wolf]

Damn McCain fell down

 

[BullBlitz]

Wow nice catch by CJ.

 

[ChrisG]

Why isn't KJax or manning on Johnson?

 

[TexCanada]

Well our defense is struggling again.

 

[ATXtexanfan]

Come on tip drill

 

[htownfan32]

Why is Ball on CJ?

 

[BullBlitz]

Didn't know Thomas went to the Lions.

 

[TheMatrix31]

I don't care what anyone says, this team is missing Brian Cushing big time.

 

[texanhead08]

It makes me nervous having Ball out there.

 

[Showtime100]

Boy, Lion receivers should wear flak jackets. Mercy.

 

[Wolf]

Damn another 3 rd down pickup

 

[ATXtexanfan]

Bad D continues

 

[ChrisG]

illegal pick

 

[Austrian]

Whiff by Quin.

 

[BullBlitz]

TD Lions. Good opening drive.

 

[TexCanada]

Our third and long defense has been pretty bad lately. Its really hurting us.

 

[Naiirb]

Damn first rushing TD we have given up this season

 

[ChrisG]

D looking like crap, 2 week in a row. Hopefully they are just feeling out Det

 

[XI CMURDER IX]

I don't care what anyone says, this team is missing Brian Cushing big time.

Brian Cushing doesn't cover wide receivers.

 

[Wolf]

Well we finally gave up a rushing TD this season

 

[Thorn]

Defense looks like crap again today.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

The CBs are again playing way off of the WRs

 

[417Texan]

Pretty bad defense there. Like the D was sleepy. Question the d play calling.

 

[Showtime100]

Sharpton read that one a dollar late and a paragraph short.

 

[htownfan32]

I feel like this is going to be an offensive battle with defense having to make a critical stop somewhere along the line.

 

[TheMatrix31]

Brian Cushing doesn't cover wide receivers.

Yeah, you should probably learn how a defense works as a unit.

 

[TexanSam]

I think it's going to be a long day for our D. 5 quarters last week and then the Lions offense this week. Ughhh

 

[kiwitexansfan]

Hoping that the D just needs to adjust to the snap count shenanigans that the Lions are running at the moment.

Stafford looks a bit wild, get the feeling he will give the D some chances to make big plays.

 

[417Texan]

The CBs are again playing way off of the WRs

Especially inside the 20. The Scheffer 1st doiwn play was a joke.

 

[Showtime100]

Well we finally gave up a rushing TD this season

I forgot about that. Good call.

 

[TexCanada]

Pretty ugly when you consider that we had them in third and 17 deep in their own end.

 

[Thorn]

Could be another long day if the defense doesn't remember how to play frigging football. Jezzzzzz

 

[mariowillshine15]

D looking like crap, 2 week in a row. Hopefully they are just feeling out Det

Missing our star lb and shutdown corner hurts.

 

[brakos82]

Joseph, hurry up and get back. kthxbai

 

[Texas T]

Our third and long defense has been pretty bad lately. Its really hurting us.

Yeah, Not sure what's up with that. 3rd and long-they can't seem to hold. 3rd and short-no problem...

 

[417Texan]

Yeah, you should probably learn how a defense works as a unit.

TheMatrix31 agree. Cushing effect is killing this team in the middle of the field.

 

[417Texan]

Detroit once again reverting to thug ball.

 

[Mailman]

Ugly start. Hopefully the offense comes out to change the tone here.

First play..........long pass.

Of course Wade needs to play agressive.

 

[Showtime100]

...and next at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade we have the Houston Defense balloon. It is 4th biggest in the parade......uh-oh, it seems to have strung a leak."

 

[brakos82]

First play..........long pass.

Or a false start.

 

[TexCanada]

Ugh, false start.

 

[417Texan]

Suh is not great at run defense.

 

[ChrisG]

terrible play calling so far on both sides

 

[417Texan]

what is up with play calls at the start of the game? no touches in the run game?
