Texans v Fins: The Unofficial Game Day Thread

[CloakNNNdagger]

Brooks is inactive for today's game. Clowney is active..............not sure this is a wise decision, performance-wise or injury-wise.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Mallet missed the team plane...........went commercial.
EDIT ADD:

Aaron Wilson ‏@AaronWilson_NFL 15m15 minutes ago

Ryan Mallett also overslept and was late for a team bus in Richmond, Va. during joint practices in camp with Washington, sources say

   If Tom Savage wasn't on IR and could be the backup I bet OBrien would cut Mallett. He's got to be livid!

   How dumb can Mallett be? Missed practice in camp cause he overslept. What will this excuse be?

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Johnson will have 1st start at CB.

I hope for Ryan Mallett's sake he can turn things around, but I'd be surprised if the #Texans gave him more chances to do so.

   Mallett shouldn't be in uniform. Only is because #Texans have no choice. Dumb decision after another for team that stresses accountability.
   
   
   Ryan Mallett has never been the brightest bulb in the box. From the overwhelming fan favorite to totally burned out in two months. #Texans

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Outside chance this could go full circle? If Case, now a backup, would probably have to "over trade."

Tania Ganguli ‏@taniaganguli 3m3 minutes ago

that's true. what's case keenum up to? RT @Wade_Harrison: @taniaganguli Limited options to replace him at this point.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Since no one started a TEXANS VS DOLPHINS GAME THREAD, I've been posting in this thread.

MODS, either retitle this thread or start another.

He doesn't get it .

 

[Thorn]

OK, where is it? An hour before the game and we don't have a game day thread for the fish game?

 

[Thorn]

Christ, we're playing the jaggies again? Einstein would not approve of such screwing around with time.

 

[thunderkyss]

Maybe the regular thread starter missed the flight.

 

[Pollardized]

I noticed that too. Figured it was just another sign that no one really gives a **** about this season anymore.

 

[Thorn]

Well, hell then, since it's my thread, yall are free to drink and smoke in it.

 

[Pollardized]

My side chick will be happy about the smoking part - puff puff pass pass

 

[thunderkyss]

Well, hell then, since it's my thread, yall are free to drink and smoke in it.

I still don't get how people drink before noon on Sunday. Or any day really.

 

[Thorn]

I cleaned my Pax with anticipation of packing it with the good stuff for the comedy show today.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Christ, we're playing the jaggies again? Einstein would not approve of such screwing around with time.

Boy, did I screw up..........all this time I thought I was posting in the DOLPHINS ARE COMING THREAD!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, but MODS, can you please put my today's posts in this thread in the UNOFFICIAL DOLPHINS GAME THREAD!!!!!

 

[Uncle Rico]

Seems like Ryan Mallet is doing all he can to get run out of town

 

[AcresHomesTexan]

I still don't get how people drink before noon on Sunday. Or any day really.

Not an alcoholic, I see...

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Thanks for starting this GAME THREAD........and thanks for catching my screw up in the other thread!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will pin this one as the game thread for ya

Anything for our resident Doc.

Ryan Mallett is on the field right now warming up with Brian Hoyer. #Texans

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Jags just eeked out a 34-31 win over Bills

 

[thunderkyss]

A typical coaching staff would simply elevate the back up into the role of the guy who won't be able to start.

So we should expect to see Aboushi, or XSF start at LG.

However, knowing these guys, Newton will most likely move to LG, Jones will play RT, Lamm will play LT, & Duane Brown will get his first start at Center.

 

[Lucky]

3 constants in life:
Death
Taxes
The Texans beating the Fins

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Looks like a very poorly attended game.........reflects the level of competition...........but lots of red Texans fans.

 

[Lucky]

Hoyer should have hit Hopkins.

 

[hradhak]

Nice tackle by Cushing for once. Glad to see lateral movement from him

 

[macho grande]

Damn there's a lot of red out there

 

[Lucky]

Pushed Wilfork right out of the hole.

 

[hradhak]

Defense already looking lost.

 

[hradhak]

Absolutely terrible on the defense. Can't make tackles, running into each other.

 

[gwallaia]

Do our guys even care?

 

[Thorn]

That was pathetic

 

[sandmanx]

Impressive defense so far...

 

[Lucky]

Kevin Johnson looks like poop.

 

[WolverineFan]

So was that Rahim Moore that completely overran that and basically took Johnson out of the play as well?

 

[powda]

Nice non tackle by the safety.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Cushing in missing his tackle almost took out Johnson's knee

 

[hradhak]

The Dolphins aren't even doing anything complex. I don't think they threw it more than 5 yards downfield that entire drive and almost every throw was a run after catch.

 

[dream_team]

Defense is gassed. Lol. Remember when people were making that excuse?

 

[nut]

They went through us like a knife through butter

 

[EVOLVIST]

As good as Kjo has been playing, I don't see how Matthews even made a move that he was going up field. Kjo bit on air...and safety "help" didn't help.

 

[PapaL]

Dolphins fired some people and the team responded. Can we get a damn defense?!?

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Looks like Hoyer may be dead before this game is over...........will be interesting if BOB has no choice but to make the decision to put Mallet in there after Mallet's oversleep.

 

[hradhak]

Our offensive line is absolutely terrible. Foster hasn't even been able to get to the LOS untouched

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

almost INT
