Texans coach Bill O'Brien is eager to see if Ryan Fitzpatrick can follow up a record-setting performance by helping Houston build on the highest-scoring game in team history.

While attempting to do so Sunday, the visiting Texans will also look to prevent the Jacksonville Jaguars from winning back-to-back games for the first time in a year.

Fitzpatrick, who lost the starting job following a 31-21 loss to Philadelphia on Nov. 2, made the most of his return after Ryan Mallett suffered a season-ending chest injury. Fitzpatrick, who turned 32 last week, went 24 of 33 for 358 yards and threw a franchise-record six touchdowns without an interception in Sunday's 45-21 home rout of Tennessee.

Houston (6-6), which can be eliminated from the AFC South race with a loss and an Indianapolis victory at Cleveland, hasn't won two in a row since starting 2-0.

The Texans split the two games Mallett started, but Fitzpatrick's performance - even against a Titans team allowing an NFL-high 28.2 points per contest - reinforced the potential associated with their offense.

What I want to see:

  • Pound. The. Rock. Wear their defense out, and hammer them early and often.
  • Make Bortles get happy feet. Pressure on rookie QBs can damn near win you a game by itself. Stay in his face!
  • Force turnovers! Team is at their best when the 'D' gets takeaways. Make JAX play from behind.
  • Don't look ahead. The Indy game is NEXT WEEK. Therefore, it means nothing right now. Double that if we don't take care of US.

Welcome back, folks! After last week's win over those bums from Tennessee, it's time to get back to work and get another W! Going on the road, no matter what the other team's record is, is not exactly for the faint of heart, so this won't be easy. Only job? WIN. So, let's go to J-Ville, get to 7-6, and set up a game that's been over a decade in the making. Sound good? Good. LET'S MUTHA****IN' GO, TEXANS!!!
 
I hate when we play at Jacksonville.. That stadium just feels so dead and ehh.. But let's hope Fitz lights the place up with 7 tds this time ;)

Houston @ Jacksonville -- Brian Anderson, Adam Archuleta (aqua)
Buffalo @ Denver (LATE) -- Kevin Harlan, Rich Gannon (blue)
Kansas City @ Arizona (LATE) -- Greg Gumbel, Trent Green (purple)

Jags are allowing 27.4 points a game and their offense is scoring 15.5 per game. Just keep them around their averages and we will be fine.
 
We have to take care of business today. We cannot allow the Jags to hang in the game, come out hot and keep our feet on their throats. Build more confidence for next weeks game.
 
I was looking for a Jags forum to go peruse and ran across this article.

"Jaguars fan cancels Texans fan's flight"

There's a group of Texans fans called the Traveling Texans on Facebook that some Jaguars fans have been trolling, which is pretty normal banter. One Texans fan put a picture of their boarding pass on the Facebook page, which itself is not smart because things like this can happen. This person, who I do not know nor do I wish to be associated with, decided it would be pretty cool to go ahead and use the information on those boarding passes to cancel these fan's flight.

To the credit of the other Jags fan base, there has been an out pour on Twitter condemning their rogue fan. He is a member of the Bold City Brigade, a "die-hard Jags club." His organization and co-members have come down extremely hard on him. Being an avid football fan should not equate to being a psycho-in-training.
 
I've got my TV on the HD antenna today. Testing football without cable. Channel 11 which is carrying the game is coming in perfectly. I may actually be saying bye bye to Comcast here real soon, since I pretty much live off Amazon anyway.

Go Texans!

Sounds like the field is wet, which it shouldn't be.....a condition that the pallet system is not prepared to handle. Adjusting with longer cleats would be what would typically happen on a standard field. However, longer cleats would also increase the risk of the cleats catching in any of the seams of the pallet system.
 
Since Week 8, WR Andre Johnson has the highest percentage of passing targets per team in the NFL at 31%.

TE Anthony Denham suiting up for his first game as a Texan.

I'm thinking the opposite. I think the Texans need to challenge the weak Jags secondary early. That will move the safetys back and open up the running game. The Texans need a lead before they let the air out of the tires and slow the game down.

I think I would try and establish the run first, but if your way works I'm just as happy..lol.

Hope they paid for a new ticket or something. That is so crappy.

Umm... just to clarify, they're playing in Tarp city today

first play, first flag for holding

John McClain ‏@McClain_on_NFL
For some reason, rookie CJ Fiedorowicz starts at TE stead of Ryan Griffin. CJ holding on first play, a first down run by Foster.
 
Easy call, but pretty late throwing the flag. Then takes 3 tries for the ref to get the flag to the spot of the foul
 
Ref kinda quick on that whistle. 1 on 1 progress stopped, but the reciever wasn't down. Game feels weird so far

PDS ‏@PatDStat
#Texans opting to use Kareem in the slot and Bouye outside in nickel/dime. Kinda surprised.

I didn't think it was a hold. I rewound it to take another look & it was pretty ticky tack.. definitely not as bad as Joekel holding Kareem on that WR screen.
 
John McClain ‏@McClain_on_NFL
On third and 1, Jaguars went to Wildcat with Denard Robinson ready to take snap and Bortles lined up wide left. Jags call timeout.

Reed getting some air
 
Brian T. Smith ‏@ChronBrianSmith
Credit where credit's due: #Jaguars' new video boards are killer. And they use entire board, unlike some teams.
 
thunderkyss said:
Again, I didn't agree with that call either. Dude has 5 yards, as long as he doesn't tackle him, & the ball isn't in the air... nothing wrong with Bouye there.

He can't hold at any time. It was pretty blatant
