Week 2 Gameday Thread: Bring on 'Da Bears!

[NitroGSXR]

The open roof could be considered a disadvantage for us though.

One of the biggest advantages is that Caleb Williams took ~4 secs to get ride of the ball in the first game (and still struggled.) Between Hunter and Anderson there's no way he's getting that much time to process.

 

[Texans2017]

Gates open 2 hours before kickoff correct?

 

[DocBar]

Our game against the Colts is the type of game the Texans of the past would have found a way to lose. Rookie QB opponent in prime time is another one of those types of games. However, I have seen enough to where I expect us to win Sunday night. It is appropriate to have higher expectations now, so I expect the Texans to come out and win at home. We aren't perfect just yet, but we are better than Chicago. Looking forward to seeing this team take the next step!

The Texans won a bunch of games last season that they would've historically found a way to lose. IMHO, the head coach and franchise QB is the difference.

Possible thunderstorms in the area this evening. I’m not sure if they must open the roof due to damage, or if the roof can be closed if thunderstorms look likely. No idea. But tif the roof is open, and the heavens open and lightening is around…the game will be delayed. Not good.

That's fine, but the d-line has to maintain disciple. Williams can run like the wind, and a QB run might be the Bears most explosive play.

With that late start I'm looking forward to seeing a whole lot of Texans fans drunk on their azzs and yelling theirs lungs out tonight on Channel 2.

 

[Mollywhopper]

pre injury Cam was a bell cow himself so he can handle a load. A closer to 60/40 split would be nice with both staying fresh and both being the same type of back. There would be very little drop off in talent and style.

When was this?

When was this?

Never

Just read an article that said Williams was getting the ball off too quickly and needs to hold on to it longer to be more successful.

Few hours since you posted, I don't see any sign of rain let alone lightning so perhaps it will be good weather for our game.

 

[Dejaview]

Yes, the home field advantage is assumed. I think sports books build in a 3 point advantage for home teams as a base line. I’m sure that can vary based on teams. I’d say the Texans get a bigger edge due to playing a rookie and the Texans fans having a lot of pent up excitement with the home opener in prime time and the expectations for the team this season. I expect it to be loud! Just hope the fans are smart enough to quiet down when the offense is on the field!!

Has there ever been a home game where everyone wore white? I know I’ve never seen it but we often get games blacked here.

 

[KA4Texan]

We are gonna suck of course, yada yada, sky is falling.... bah humbug insert negative nancy stuff here.....

Now that Ive gotten tradition and routine out of the way...

GO TEXANS!!!!

 

[KA4Texan]

Win today and have a two game cushion.

 

[Decim8]

Any given Sunday - underestimate nobody

 

[KA4Texan]

Any given Sunday - underestimate nobody

IMO Texans haven't earned the right to underestimate anyone..(not that I ever support underestimating anyone). so they better not be counting this is a win already.

Texans calmed the wild kitty?

 

[DocBar]

I hope the Texans don't come out too amped up, make early mistakes, and end up in the hole.

Oh, crap! Lassiter lost his arm and Pitre both feet. Why didn't someone bring that up before now? I mean we have an injury thread..

 

[KA4Texan]

Just enjoying the new found hope I havent had since probably before the chin.

 

[Thorn]

bah humbug ....we beat the Bears by a thousand points.

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

Scruggs and Pierce out for Texans. Keenan Allen out for Bears.

Bears Week 2 inactives: Rome Odunze IN, Keenan Allen OUT vs. Texans

The Bears have announced their inactives for Week 2 opener vs. Titans, where it's good and bad news at receiver.

[Speedy]

Nice to get all day Red Zone, but waiting all day for this Texans game bites.

 

[Porky]

Scruggs was really good last week. Hopefully Patterson is decent. I want to see Cam out there balling showing this staff who is #2.

 

[DanielTx]

Just watched the refs hand the game to the chiefs smh

 

[Texansphan]

Texans win this one and they have a 2 game lead in the division.

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

Just watched the refs hand the game to the chiefs smh

Timing of the call was poor, just like the timing of the DB committing the penalty. It was a legit penalty.

100% a penalty. I just wanted the chiefs to lose lol

Is Pierce injured or is Akers #2 this week?

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

Is Pierce injured or is Akers #2 this week?

Injured hamstring during Thursday’s practice judging by injury reports. Him and Scruggs injured in Thursday’s practice.

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

I’m with you Danielson. Maybe next week.

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

I don't know by how much but I sense an upset of our guys tonight. I hope I am wrong. However it would be in line with some of the big upsets today.

 

[IDEXAN]

I dunno does that mean you think upsets are contagious?

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

They can be. I have noticed cycles of it in the past. The good news is nobody in our division won today, If we lose that softens the blow a little. I see a lot of parity in the NFL this season.

 

[TheMatrix31]

Let's do it baby. All the other division teams lost so this game is especially important.

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

If anything, it drives home the fact they have to be locked in and focused. Can’t take anything for granted in this game.

 

[BattleRedBlud]

Three legs of the AFCSouth got blanked again today. Lets go Texans, stretch that lead!

 

[DanielTx]

This isn’t college. Caleb still has to prove he can play against 1s

 

[Porky]

Just watched the refs hand the game to the chiefs smh

How is that? It was pretty obvious PI.

 

[Porky]

I dunno does that mean you think upsets are contagious?

I almost caught an upset, but I wore a mask to the game.

 

[Porky]

Come on crowd. CJ said show up early and you are failing! Give the tickets to someone like me that will show up early!

 

[thunderkyss]

Please, don't bring up the fact that steelbtexans for wanting to wait on Caleb Williams.

 

[Pantherstang84]

They got the roof fixed and decided to open it? Most Texans thing ever!! LFG TEXANS!!!

 

[DocBar]

4 minutes to KO and half the stadium is empty for a prime time game?

 

[DanielTx]

How is that? It was pretty obvious PI.

The point isn't if it was pi or not. The point is it was barely called all game but when KC needed it to win, they get the call. Either call it evenly or not at all
