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

[Naiirb]

Haha that Cam Netwon play 60 commercial was pretty funny.

 

[ChrisG]

was hoping for a tie going into the half. IDK y wade is afraid of this offense, but stop the cushions

 

[mariowillshine15]

Ball gets owned.

 

[ChrisG]

TDs Ball has cost us today: 2

 

[Doppelganger]

C'mon Wade. Come up with something!

 

[Wolf]

Nothing you can do there

 

[TheIronDuke]

Man, Wade sure is going lion hunting.

 

[417Texan]

C'mon Wade. Come up with something!

why is ball on cj?

 

[ChrisG]

Now we will watch Kubes run out the clock

 

[Austrian]

Yeah well. The positive is we have enogh time to respond before halftime.

 

[PapaL]

Again, Ball in position. Great play by 81.

1:49 - time to air it out.

 

[The Third Man]

Nothing wrong with Ball's coverage there.

 

[fikster]

good d by ball on that one. not sure what manning was waiting on

 

[TexanSam]

No pressure. No safety help. Pathetic. I don't want to play 2009 or 2010 style trying to win in a shootout.

 

[ChrisG]

why is ball on cj?

Has been all game. No one knows except Wade

 

[TexCanada]

Manning did nothing on that TD. Stayed in no mans land.

 

[CretorFrigg]

Double cover CJ!

 

[Mailman]

Perfect pass by Stafford. Sometimes the other guy just beats you.

 

[fikster]

TDs Ball has cost us today: 2

that was good d by him on that one. better catch!

 

[ChrisG]

Whats the over under on the Texans going for a score on this drive?

 

[Texas T]

Again, Letting Stafford play better than he has all season...two total TDs in the first half of the first 10 games-two in the first half today.

WTH is going on??

 

[ChrisG]

that was good d by him on that one. better catch!

Yea, it looked bad initially. Was safety's fault on that one

 

[PapaL]

TDs Ball has cost us today: 2

I don't know if Ball stole your bike when you were a kid and that's why you're hating on him but Ball has been in position.

 

[mariowillshine15]

Has been all game. No one knows except Wade

Only thing i can think of is Ball is our biggest corner at 6-2. Not a good reason but one i could see them going with since Calvin is 6-5

 

[TheIronDuke]

I laugh when they show the 35 yard line as the target for Graham, it's really more like the 20.

 

[fikster]

Suh is in Matt's head now

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

No urgency/hurry up offense!

 

[ChrisG]

omg a fake draw...LOL

 

[417Texan]

Sure wasted a lot of time on this drive.

 

[The Third Man]

The Texans two minute drive here is not exactly awe inspiring.

 

[Wolf]

Has been all game. No one knows except Wade

Ball has the size 6'2"

 

[Texas T]

Who said it was time to run out the clock??? You win.

Wouldn't want to accidentally score before the half.

 

[417Texan]

Horrible

 

[mariowillshine15]

Harris with the Ole.

 

[The Third Man]

Harris completely whiffed on that. Jesus.

 

[mariowillshine15]

I really want to win this game. These dirty, constantly celebrating pricks get on my nerves.

 

[TexCanada]

We are not playing very good football for the 2nd week in a row. This needs to get sorted out in a hurry. NE is going to bend us over if the D doesn't pick up their game.

 

[Premier]

nice 2 minute offense there..

 

[TheIronDuke]

What a pathetic first half defense. All it takes to destroy us is double team JJ and your QB will be free to throw. This defense's ranking is going to nose-dive to the bottom half of the NFL soon.

 

[Showtime100]

Down by 7 at the half. I'll freaking take it. It felt like 24-0.

 

[ChrisG]

Ball has the size 6'2"

So if we had a 6'8" CB who was on the PS he should be covering CJ? Put your best guys on their best guy and let them make a play. Ball is 4th CB for a reason

 

[fiasco west]

I really want to win this game. These dirty, constantly celebrating pricks get on my nerves.

It's pretty annoying to see from a team that has to win out just to make the playoffs. They are 4-6, after every play one of them is dancing.

Any ways...Wade needs to just put Kareem on Calvin.

STafford got lucky on that last TD play, any decent CB at least knocks that down or better yet INTs it.

 

[TexanSam]

This team has turned schizophrenic the last few weeks. I have a bad feeling about this game. They better get their issues fixed regardless of the outcome.

 

[Malloy]

We are not playing very good football for the 2nd week in a row. This needs to get sorted out in a hurry. NE is going to bend us over if the D doesn't pick up their game.

For the third or fourth week.

O is uninspired, D just looks lost...

 

[417Texan]

Strafford needs to be hit. That guy will give it up quicker than a ho in NAM MOVIE.

 

[Doppelganger]

Team looks mentally and physically gassed.

 

[dream_team]

The front four not getting pressure is still the Achilles heel of this defense. Stafford is picking us apart when we send a blitz.

 

[76Texan]

Double cover CJ!

Ball gets help on any In-breaking route (seam, skinny post, post, and deep dig, that sort of routes.

The side-line routes were for him to cover; and like others have said; he wasn't bad there.

 

[TexanSam]

Team looks mentally and physically gassed.

I hope that's the reason because this is depressing

 

[Mailman]

Down by 7 at the half. I'll freaking take it. It felt like 24-0.

This. I guarantee you Lions fans aren't exactly super confident they will win this since they have trouble closing out games. Undisciplined bunch.
