Game 14...Time To Get Back... New York Jets!

[maverick512000]

"if thats the case we dont have no business being in the playoffs" ... you are wrong sir, we do have business in the playoffs and if we want to maximize that opportunity you win out.

in its essence you are right .. the TExans dont belong in the playoffs with a shoddy OL, WRs who cant stay healthy, a young QB and a defense who has a tendency to bend.

So you yourself said they have no business being in the playoffs. I love the fact that you can say both that I don't think they should be here but that I also have "steel blue binders" do you even read your own posts or do you just start typing and hope a coherent thought comes out?

""Im not so worried about winning these next games .. but what it will cost us" .. again you must be implying injury and this board already has plenty of wizards that see the future.

Yes I am implying injuries, actually I think I flat out said it. Didn't realize that hoping we don't have injuries or discussing how to avoid them was me being a wizard trying to predict the future.

"do just enough to secure a win" .. what the **** does that even mean dude? When have the Texans won a game in the first quarter? Christ man you're all over the board with your take.

That means getting a lead and then holding the lead without killing your players. In other words its one time where BoBs habit of turtling might be a good thing. You're right they haven't ever won it in the first quarter but then I didn't say the first quarter did I. I said get a lead, hang on while I spit out those words you're putting in my mouth. I can see where it would be all over the board when you don't read what I actually write and just read what you think I wrote.

""I wouldnt even be against giving Weedon some playing time" ... LOL ok.

Going to assume you didn't actually have a point on this one so moving on.

"Your 'bye is a reward' comment did enough to confuse both of us obviously. You EARN a bye, you're not 'rewarded' one.

Oh so now we are going to get into semantics, ok that should be fun. In that case the bye is meant to be a sign that a team EARNED it instead of having to prove that they deserve to be in the playoffs. I suppose since we are going to argue semantics I should have said awarded the bye instead of rewarded.

"rambling huh? So you want them to play, just enough not to get hurt, but enough to secure the win! OKAY!

Um yes, actually that is exactly what I want. Sorry this doesn't fulfill your football movie fantasy but yeah I very much want them to secure a win without getting hurt. What does someone have to be carted off the field before you think they played their best? Like I said what the hell are you rambling about?

 

[Seegara]

Getting through the playoffs is tough for any team. You a playing through a gauntlet of the best teams in the conference. Any advantage you can secure is needed for success. Teams with a longer road and without home field historically don't make it through the gauntlet.

You can expect the Texans to win, at most, one post-season game. To do well in the playoffs you have to have a coach. That means a coach who can adapt to situations and.... ..Don't get me started on this subject. Just take the prediction seriously.

 

[austins23]

If they dont get the bye they could very well be ousted in the divisional round

If they don't get the bye, they could lose in the Wild Card round. Because more than likely it will be Andrew and TY back in NRG for that game. I'm more confident for a victory over the Chargers / Steelers than I am the Colts.

 

[TheMatrix31]

Have some faith, maybe we'll finally learn how to cover TY Hilton lol.

There's a distinct possibility there will be snow in NY for this game.

Snow not as big of a potential issue as the wet stuff or wind is for a QB.

This game will tell us something about this team. The winning streak has ended. The final games of the season are before us. Do they collapse at the end of the season and miss the playoffs or back in (like has occurred in the past for Houston NFL teams); or do they head into the playoffs on a winning streak with some momentum and make some noise.

If the defense can rattle Darnold early and keep the pressure on, then I like the chances of the offense and Watson doing their job of putting enough points on the board.

 

[Jadmakaveli]

Anyone know the over/under on Lamar up the middle first offensive play of the game?

 

[chicagotexan2]

I hope so. I want to see a rainy game.

YES!!! I think BoB should run on first down to catch the Jets off guard.

 

[banned1976]

YES!!! I think BoB should run on first down to catch the Jets off guard.

And up the middle

 

[Texas Jake]

What I would truly like to see is a play fake and hit Fuller on a fly down the sideline.

Maybe next year.

 

[Texansphan]

This could be a low scoring affair due to inclement weather and that will help the Jets.

I wonder if O'Brien will shorten the passing game and take advantage of the TE's and WR's so he can make the running game more viable?

This is obviously a game the Texans should win with so much to play for while their opponent has very little to motivate them. And the Jets aren't a particularly good team, not a great deal of talent on their roster.
So if the Texans comes out listless with a lack of focus it's on the HC, but if the effort and concentration is there we should feel pretty good about their chances though I never assume any victory in the NFL.

 

[Jadmakaveli]

It’s time to open up the playbook.

 

[Thorn]

No, it's time to get stoned.

 

[JB]

No, it's time to get stoned.

always and doubly so on the weekend for them 9-5 suckers

 

[Texas Jake]

It’s time to open up the playbook.

I think the BoB may have some cards up his sleeve he is saving for the post season. Hopefully they are aces and not the two and three of clubs.

 

[Texansphan]

No, it's time to get stoned.

You mulling up?

 

[Bugman7star]

Houston needs to beat teams like the Jets convincingly. We squandered an opportunity last week. We cannot do that these last three games. I want to see our team finish these games strong.

 

[santo]

OB is going to run Blue up the middle in the first play of the playoff game to throw off the defense.

 

[ShinobiMusashi]

Last few Jets games I caught they looked like a team that packed it in for the year and playing for a high draft pick.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

My greatest concern for this game will be injuries, especially soft tissue injuries...............for a pampered dome team going into 50 degree game time temperature with 12 mph winds with gusts up to 25 mph.

 

[Seegara]

Is the game going to be telecast outside Houston? What Spectrum channel?

 

[santo]

It’s only on NFL network.

Or you can stream it on computer or phone

 

[JPPT1974]

Yeah as really come on guys. Should had won in front of your home crowd last week.

 

[Thorn]

I think the Toros will beat the Cessnas today.

 

[HouTx11]

I hope the Texans don't look ahead to any opponent. They need to concentrate on the opponent at hand for that week. At this point the Texans have locked up nothing, to say nothing about how deep in the playoffs they will go. They still have to get in first. Get it done by whatever means are necessary!

 

[cuppacoffee]

I always hope for a win. Expect a win? Nah

This team is forcing me to pull for the Cowboys to beat the Colts just to help them out.

That sucks big time.

Pizz on it. Go Colts. Texans are on their own.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

AFN has it tonight....2230 for me but I'm up for this game. Go Texans!!!

 

[Jadmakaveli]

LETS GO JJ, COME ON OFFENSE. LETS SCORE BEFORE RED ZONE.

 

[Jadmakaveli]

Alright that play we just ran, throw it in the trash. Thats where it belongs.
