Houston Texans @ Carolina Panthers. Noon. CBS. 9/20. **Official Game Day Thread**

[Playoffs]

This makes me uncomfortable...

Why? It's always on the QB. That's where we need to see improved execution to win in this league.

 

[Mollywhopper]

I feel I've served my purpose.

 

[Marshall]

I'm sticking with my prediction - Mallett will play small ball most of the game. There will be 5 HF (happy Marshall?) moments, one of which will be bad.

Yes.

 

[infantrycak]

So Elvis had his time at Auditorium Shores this morning. He's now sacked in front of the TV which is very unusual.

Read that as you will.

 

[thunderkyss]

See you guys at half time. I just can't take the negativity of these gameday threads during a game.

 

[Brisco_County]

With two new names on the O-line, expect a lot of false starts.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

With the announcement of Brown being out, Vegas has increased Carolina's odds to -4 1/2 from 3

This makes me uncomfortable especially with the fact that Carolina has a very good defense.

Not that we'll do it, but I feel that run up the middle is a Panthers' weak spot.

 

[SAMURAITEXAN]

Let's go Texans!!!

 

[Vance87]

See you guys at half time. I just can't take the negativity of these gameday threads during a game.

This.

Be patient guys.

See you on the other side

 

[False Start]

Whats up people? Hoping for a win!

Good start Demps!

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

False start

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Cushing stupid unforgiveable

 

[htownfan32]

Good early stop, defense taking care of business.

 

[TheMatrix31]

3 and out. Now get 7.

 

[htownfan32]

Do not like Mumphery as a returner. He had miles ahead of him but hesitates and runs horizontally instead of vertically

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Still hesitant before going

 

[brg88tx]

why mumphry??? we have worthy who is way faster. ****

 

[Goodwrench3]

Wow, that sucks

 

[htownfan32]

We need a real TE desperately

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Crap Graham

 

[WolverineFan]

3rd & 11 screen. Nobody saw that coming.............................................................

 

[TheMatrix31]

Nice ******* playcall, asshole.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Fortunate field position

 

[OzzO]

Brian T. Smith ‏@ChronBrianSmith
That was a Week 1 Ryan Fitzpatrick 2014 call by #Texans.

 

[Hervoyel]

**** call on third down. Texans need to get it together on offense. Carolina is also operating in a fog but you can bet they'll snap out of it shortly.

 

[Brisco_County]

The good news is that the Panthers offense sucks.

 

[infantrycak]

Cushing stupid unforgiveable

We all respect you but you have an anti-Cushing obsession. Step away.

 

[False Start]

Garrett "I can't catch for ****" Graham.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

We all respect you but you have an anti-Cushing obsession. Step away.

Defend that type of penalty.

 

[bah007]

Mohamed being out is going to hurt us again I think. Olsen isn't Kelce athletically, but he's not far off on pure talent. We should be able to single them up on the outside though. Their WR's are not very good and neither is their O-Line. Covering underneath and tackling in space are going to be crucial today and those are 2 things we really struggled with last week.

Fortunately, Carolina doesn't have a threat like Charles out of the backfield. So hopefully we can use a S on Olsen instead of a LB.

I expect our defense to come out with the gameplan this week that they should've had last week.

 

[bah007]

Defend that type of penalty.

Making up for it on the next play with the pass breakup?

 

[False Start]

Cushing stupid unforgiveable

Come on man.... chill

 

[OzzO]

Cle 7-0 Tits on Johnny Manziel pass to the middle to Travis Benjamin for 60 yd TD

 

[bah007]

On the first offensive play it looked like Jones snapped the ball early and caught Mallett off guard, Mallett panicked and turned the wrong way for the handoff.

Then Graham with a drop on what should have put us in 3rd and 5.

Then our version of a screen. Punt.

 

[htownfan32]

Cle 7-0 Tits on Johnny Manziel pass to the middle to Travis Benjamin for 60 yd TD

****, I might be an Ag but I started the Tit defense against Manziel xP

 

[TheMatrix31]

Hey maybe score now.

 

[FuzzyLogic]

ugly game so far.. a lot of yellow

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

If it's a knee injury on their RT, looks like it could be an MCL.

 

[infantrycak]

Defend that type of penalty.

Who cares? The point is you jump on any perceived Cushing deficiency.

 

[OzzO]

Aaron Wilson ‏@AaronWilson_NFL
Trai Turner of Panthers has a left knee injury return is questionable

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Back to old STs times

 

[macho grande]

Can someone catch the fuckin ball

 

[False Start]

Come on man!!!

 

[bah007]

Mumphery is gonna get us a lot of penalty yards on returns if he can't learn to run up field instead of sideways.

 

[FuzzyLogic]

so now we can throw and forget how to catch

 

[OzzO]

CB's, TE's and WR's working on catching balls this upcoming week... check

 

[htowntexans1985]

Lol. Receivers dropping everything in sight.

 

[bah007]

Not great placement by Mallett there but certainly catchable.

 

[WolverineFan]

This is a rough start. At least we haven't turned the ball over *knock on wood* and f'd over the defense yet.

 

[TheMatrix31]

One might wonder why I woke up for this atrociousness.
