Houston Texans @ Baltimore Ravens. Noon. 1/15. **Official Divisional Playoff Thread**

[CloakNNNdagger]

Everybody is focusing our success on AJ. I believe that our TEs (which should include Casey) may hold a significant key to our passing game. This was glaringly true in both of yesterday's playoff games.

 

[Lady.Gaga.3000]

I agree. Texans will be underdogs in every game from here on out mainly because of the Yates thing. If Schaub was playing I think some guys would be picking us to go all the way.

With that said though I actually like when they don't pick us. Feels like they go out and win the games when no one picks them.

You expect the "professional" analysts to pick us against New England and Green Bay (see what I did there )....the same analyst that picked Cin over Hou, Pitt over Den, NO over SF, etc etc.

Andre being on the field will, theoretically anyway, allow the TE's much more room to operate. Can't remember our TEs doing jack in the last matchup.

the time is now!!!!

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE HEART OF A CHAMPION!

Baltimore is in the Top 5 defending TEs. Interesting that NO,HOU,SF,NE are all right there, too.

Just my point. But in this game they better get the TEs involved.

 

[dream_team]

Nice... way to represent in Baltimore Texans fans!

Yeah, but without AJ there they could concentrate on the TE's more, not today.

 

[Marcus]

The wife and I are in a sports bar in New Orleans.

We are pumped.

GO TEXANS!!!!!!

Precisely what I mean.

 

[DBCooper]

Precisely what I mean.

Lol, sorry man, I just read the last sentence with any comprehension.

I must be too fired up for this game!!!!!

After last night, who would pick anybody over the Patriots?

 

[DBCooper]

I know right?

But neither of our teams run the college option as an offense, their defense may look different against a Pro offense.

It's easy to defend a team that runs the same play over & over. Even the Pats can stop it.

 

[Naiirb]

Gameday!!!!!!! So amped

 

[beerlover]

After last night, who would pick anybody over the Patriots?

A fan base who believes in their team.

 

[TheMatrix31]

I'll take the Ravens OR the Texans over the Patriots.

 

[Lady.Gaga.3000]

I agree. I will take Ravens/Texans over Patriots.

 

[iLoveTexans]

15 Minutes till Texans hunt some Ravens for dinner

 

[False Start]

Damn....I'm NERVOUS as hell. lol

 

[burro]

I've gone to mass and said my prayers and done everything I can do to keep the evil away from this game. Now it's the moment of truth. Give em' hell, guys! I'm off to the watch party. Go Texans!!!!

 

[kiwitexansfan]

Why Not?

 

[Marcus]

Damn....I'm NERVOUS as hell. lol

Don't be nervous. Remember, we're playing with house money now.

Enjoy the game!

 

[False Start]

4:20

OK, I'm in official game mode now.

Defense? Who cares about the Patriots defense! SIX touchdowns in the first half?

 

[False Start]

Don't be nervous. Remember, we're playing with house money now.

Enjoy the game!

Oh yeah no doubt. This takes me back to games against the Browns, and Broncos in the playoffs back in the Oilers days.

 

[Maddict5]

sounds like texans fans have turned out in force...fair play

Nestor Aparicio of @WNST just now in press box: "There are more #Texans fans here than I've seen at a visiting stadium ever, ever, EVER."

 

[TheMatrix31]

Not a chance in the deepest darkest depths of hell that happens against the Ravens or Texans D.

 

[SmoochyTX]

Hell yeah! I'm fired up! Go Texans!!!

 

[rmartin65]

Really excited for this game. Go Texans!

 

[kiwitexansfan]

Ok, finished watching all my Texans pump-up videos, ready to get this game going.

Feeling confident, I would of taken 2nd round of the playoffs if someone had told me that preseason, everything from here on out is gravy.

 

[beerlover]

Damn....I'm NERVOUS as hell. lol

I got something to help with that bro

 

[Lady.Gaga.3000]

"T.J. Yates has never seen something like this. BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH"

Can't wait for the play-action rollout deep throw on first play of game.

That's awesome!

 

[mattieuk]

WOOOOOO! Playoff day again.

This it Texans, time to step it up, and prove the doubters wrong. Nothing less than a mistake free game will get it done today. Arian needs to use that attitude of his and lead our offense from the ground - it's his day to shine today.

God I'm excited for this. LETS GO TEXANS!

 

[TheMatrix31]

If we get the ball first, I'd do anything for a 15 play drive eating up 8 minutes.

 

[dc_txtech]

Told myself I was going to wait until halftime to have a drink, now I'm not so sure I make it to kickoff.

 

[RTP2110]

Freaking readyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!

 

[dream_team]

If we get the ball first, I'd do anything for a 15 play drive eating up 8 minutes.

Or a one play, 15 second, 80 yard TD to AJ!

 

[Daravenator]

here we

​

go!!!!!!!!

 

[Austrian]

Game time!! Go Texans!!!

 

[bckey]

I hope the Texans shut loud mouth Ray Lewis and the Ravens up. Lets go Texans!

Any of those will suit me just fine...I hope we don't come out jittery, we can't afford to not protect the ball

 

[TexanSam]

Dan Dierdorf?!

 

[GuerillaBlack]

Let's go!

Andre had that takeover look.

 

[TexanSam]

Nervous. Excited. Lets go Texans!!!!

 

[Showtime100]

Dan Dierdorf?!

After watching some of the pregame (ESPN) I'm surprised it isn't Joel Meyers and Spencer Tillman calling the game. It was like Houston and Baltimore weren't playing today.

 

[Nickass]

What a return!!
