Week 5: Texans vs Falcons

[austins23]

What is up with Demeco and his laid back defense today? The zone is getting hammered

 

[banned1976]

Kinda thought that the Falcons are a bad matchup. Great D and great at running the ball.

Me too, except I thought Ridder would give the Texans a chance to win. He's not.

 

[Rich Schmidt]

I am shocked we shut down run and getting picked apart by this dude

 

[gwallaia]

Defense is gassed.
Offense can only reward them for two turnovers with 3 points

 

[Brisco_County]

Without Pitre this game would've gotten out of hand.

 

[austins23]

Slowik. Nobody getting open. Can't run.

It was rhetorical but ya.

 

[JB]

We need an interception!

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

Texans can't afford to overlook any team.

No they can't but they did.

 

[KA4Texan]

Need another turnover.

We need an interception!

I'm not picky. Ill take another fumble

 

[santo]

No they can't but they did.

No they didn’t.

 

[DanielTx]

Nico collins has been quiet today

 

[TheRealJoker]

Down 6 with 6:57 to go. It aint over till its over.

If the offense could've stayed on the field I doubt Atlanta would even have double digits.

 

[DocBar]

I wish Slo would dig into his bag of tricks and get the O out of the rut they are in. Play calling hasn't been great today.

 

[TheRealJoker]

Nico collins has been quiet today

AJ Terrell is a top 5 CB and Jesse Bates is a top 5 safety. That has something to do with it.

 

[Hervoyel]

The Texans aren’t good enough yet to have a trap game. This team shouldn’t even know what that term means.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Okay defense….nice hold. Texans down by 6. A sustained drive would be nice……or just go for it and score as quickly as possible. Falcons have proved they can move the ball at will, need to burn the clock.

 

[Brisco_County]

Nico collins has been quiet today

Atlanta is taking him away. Jags did the same thing, which allowed Dell to have a big game. Now we don't even have Dell in there because of a concussion.

We are Going see what CJ can do

 

[Mr teX]

Tank went out & our offense seems to have tanked.

It won't matter. Offense is off today.

 

[TheRealJoker]

Nice run by Pierce!

 

[Arky]

Offense should be well rested...

 

[banned1976]

What is your definition of a trap game since you question mine?

I feel like in order to it to be a trap game the team being trapped would have to have a better record than 2-2 or be an established prerennial playoff team. Coming into this season the Texans won a combined 11 games in three years.

Just my two cents.

 

[DocBar]

Quit running up the gut. I'd run a reverse with the way the ATL D is chasing.

 

[KoolAid Sipper]

The game is very much still winnable. Let's go!

 

[TheRealJoker]

It’s a good time for Pierce to start taking over!

 

[badboy]

Pierce

Did you think the Texans are a much better team than the Falcons? Here's an example of a trap game. Let's say the 49ers are playing the Texans this week and have a game against the Chiefs next week. It could be a fair assessment that the 49ers would overlook the Texans while thinking about the Chiefs.

 

[Bugman7star]

Just protect the ball and keep making positive progress.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

I really want to see Patterson stay at Center.

 

[MEGA SWATT]

the ol’ fake an injury to kill our momentum


cart his azz off

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

What is your definition of a trap game since you question mine?

Just to be sure I looked it up. I am right.

 

[DanielTx]

Love the predictable play calling from slowik. That should give us a chance to win

 

[Brisco_County]

Pierce finally found the lane between Howard and Tunsil.

 

[MEGA SWATT]

pass play???
maybe

 

[santo]

Quiet the crowd and get that last touchdown of the game.

 

[Brisco_County]

RG got blown up on that pitch to Pierce.

 

[Bugman7star]

Those outside runs like that have not worked! Stop!

 

[Rich Schmidt]

why do we keep pitching it wide? Why Bobby, why?

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Oh NO…NO…NO, no more outside the tackle runs!!!!

 

[Lucky]

Don't know what Slowick is seeing on these outside runs.

 

[TheRealJoker]

Just my two cents.

The only people who treated this like a trap game are the fans on this board. This is a road game against an evenly matched team. Those tend to be close.

 

[MEGA SWATT]

pass the fn ball

 

[Bugman7star]

Two plays to get 9 yards...Doable with the right play calls.

 

[JB]

Let's not do that wide run again

 

[Earl34]

LMAO. On a pitch, Fant was five yards in the backfield.

 

[santo]

Here we go!!!

 

[Brisco_County]

why do we keep pitching it wide? Why Bobby, why?

They've worked well in the past. Pierce's biggest plays came off those.
