Long time lurker and love reading your guys thoughts during your games against the Titans.. Normally the thread is posted before now...
Death to Google Ads! Texans Talk Tip Jar! 🍺😎👍
Thanks for your support!
Welcome to the boards. You're now the official game starter thread guy.
Seems the more the Texans choke, the more people take longer in starting the game thread.
It seems the quality has gone down dramatically. Remember in years before we had people arguing because there were like 2 or 3 of them. lolIt should explain the level of frustration felt by all. We cant even get a legit game day thread started now days.

I have a feeling OB has this game circled (that comment still bothered me from the Ravens game) and is going to try and prepare his team for it. OB loves him some divisional games. He already won his SB this year against the Pats.You see, the Texans have done it to me again. I promise I tried to be apathetic to this season, go into each game with the "don't get too pumped up" attitude, but here we are. Three games left in the season and this game Sunday is for the AFCS lead. So I have to watch now. I wasn't going to, really I wasn't! So regardless of this outcome on Sunday, I'll have to watch again the next week to see if we can remain in the playoffs. And then of course if the Tacks beat the Saints.....dadgummit, you see......UGH!
Now, Mr. Henry may rush for 250 Sunday. And I'm not sure I can handle getting punked by Tannehill after that prepubescent QB toyed with us last week. It was a few years ago I think that the Texans went out and shat the bed then came back and boat raced the Tacks the next week. O'Brien called one of his best games and we all were praising him for it, maybe not all of us but most of us. Let's hope he has one of those moments this Sunday. For once I'd like to finish the game in this thread and not the drunk thread!
Soon we'll have the All Encompassing Game Thread thread, and nobody will ever have to start another one again.Yup was fairly common to see 2 posters start a game day thread.
Now we revert back to some off topic thread earlier in the week...
Smoke screen?I hope so.. But he may have a leg injury that hampers him a bit..

He was taken out early in the Raider game... Hamstring looked to be tightening up... Havent heard much about it this week though.. So maybe he is good to go.

It's not just the players it gets off to a slow startIt should explain the level of frustration felt by all. We cant even get a legit game day thread started now days.
JamTex would have the upcoming matchup thread, which turned into the gamethread, right after the game on Sunday. He usually had it ready on Monday.Umm its Wednesday. Wtf?
Could be a slugfest.Uo
Up by three TDs in the 4th quarter, there was no need to put him back out there again. And he still rushed for 103 yards.
Henry did not practice today. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't see him until Friday and maybe not even that.
We Titans fans are watching closely to the injury report to see if we get back some of our dinged up secondary. CB Leshawn Sims came back today and Kenny Vaccaro practiced today after being in concussion protocol after the Oakland game. No CB Adoree Jackson today...we'll see if he practices tomorrow. The Texans receiving corp is very dangerous and Watson can create a lot of time for pass plays. So we need all the help we can get.
I pulled a hammy just reading this thread. What is the over/under on hamstring issues this week?
Fully expecting the Texans to win. MessiahInAHeadset will coach a great game. Even though the players won't play that well, the system itself will win the game.

I blame OB for managing to knock out even the most optimistic poster around here.
As evidenced by our performance, home field means nothing.Could be a slugfest.
Vegas is suggesting it.
The Texans have the edge on ST.
The Titans have the edge in Defense.
Watson might be able to exploit the weak state of the defensive backfield of the Titans.
On the other hand, the Texans D has been pretty bad of late.
Playing at home might give the final advantage to your Titans.

If I remember correctly they used to be posted a day or two before game day until Jamtex took them over.Umm its Wednesday. Wtf?
I'll put one up in a while if the usual posters haven't.If I remember correctly they used to be posted a day or two before game day until Jamtex took them over.
for the 'X' timeThis is the biggest game in Texans history
This is the biggest game in Texans history
Which takes place right after the last biggest game in Texans history and right before the next biggest game in Texans history.
@Sevenfeet What do you think is the winning recipe for the Texans? In other words, what do you feel the Texans will have to do in order to win?
I'm picking the Titans to win this one. Henry running wild on our secondary just scares the hell out of me. Those guys don't want to tackle anyone.
Not sure there is a specific recipe...only taking advantage of specific problems.
Tannehill has been known to put the ball on the ground (four fumbles this season). You have to get to him and without Watt, that’s tough. The Titans oline has been problematic early on, less so in the last few games. No sacks last week.
I’d say get a hat on Henry except that often doesn’t work. Last week he ran for 103 yards and 99 of them was after first contact. Good luck trying to take him down. Maybe his dinged up hammy will slow him down but we’ll see.
Watson has to be the second half guy from last weeks game and not the first half guy. Honestly I was shocked that the Texans didn’t have any offense until the game was well out of reach. If he gets out of the pocket, then that’s his best play since our edge rush still isn’t fearsome (although Landry continues to improve). You guys haven’t seen Jeffrey Simmons yet...that could be interesting.
Tennessee’s secondary is a problem with injuries. Will we see Vaccaro, Sims and Jackson? Who knows. If all three are out, we could get exposed. If two of those guys are back, I like Tennessee’s chances better.
I'd say job 1 has to be Henry.Not sure there is a specific recipe...only taking advantage of specific problems.

Like when Vrabel beat OB in his rookie year as HC?There is a good chance the Titans might embarrass the Texans.

That has been the case ever since he enters the NFL.
Limit his carries under 20 is a must.
The fewer the number, the better the chance.
Easier said than done though.
Very easier said than done. For the first 2.75 years as a Titans, Henry had the (deserved) reputation of going down once the first hit came. He was tackled for loss often. He tried to juke in the backfield and got burned a lot. Then the Eddie George "coaching" happened and a light bulb came on in his head. Now he's always pounding forward. If there's a cutback, it's quick and then pounding forward. He's dragging guys with him for extra yardage. And heaven help the secondary if he gets up to full speed (20+ MPH) on the second level.
The current mood is Nashville hasn't been this sky high in a long time. I hope we don't come out and lay an egg. One thing that makes me think that won't happen is that this team has often gone out and let the opponent score first and then come back and kick butt. These guys truly believe.

biceps like yours, just flip over and walk on your hands. No problemI pulled a hammy just reading this thread. What is the over/under on hamstring issues this week?
Texans 24 Titans
You guys wil dress 3 kickers, each will miss a FG.
One of them will also miss a PAT.
Our kicker will miss just 2.
Texans win when the new guy you're about to sign miss the FG as time run out.
