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

you can't blame those drops on mallet for the most part, you got to catch those.

All those balls were catchable but its clear that the WR's aren't used to the velocity of Mallett. Watching this game you'd think they never practiced with the guy before.

 

[Bulls on Parade]

Our guys ate too many butterfingers during the pre-game lunch?

 

[bah007]

Those balls need to be caught but Mallett needs to place the ball better. That's two drops on throws at the feet and one over the head. All on throws that should have hit the chest.

It's hard to fingertip when Mallett throws the ball so damn hard.

He's making the right decisions though. He'll be fine today.

 

[TexansBull]

i've been saying it mumphrey is garbage. look at his combine footage. he drops 3 balls. don't know what rick smith and obrien see in him.

And he cant run straight.

 

[sandman]

Fat Randy was slightly right of true center on that kick. Cut him.

 

[OzzO]

PDS ‏@PatDStat No excuses now from the wide receivers. Been working with Mallett since last year. You know what is coming at you. A fastball. #Texans

I don't accept that excuse. They were all in camp with him for the last month and he got a lot of reps. They have no excuse for that **** in week two.

 

[Wolf]

Clowney ran right past that?

I had a Mario Williams flashback(his rookie year versus the browns,I think it was) lol

 

[bah007]

Clowney never seen zone read before...

 

[stonewhite]

Wow can what a idiot

 

[SAMURAITEXAN]

A lots of drop passes by Texans. Damn, catch it. Good to see Randy made a FG. I do not want him to go that missing FG funk again.

 

[htownfan32]

Manziel actually looking like an NFL QB vs the Tits :O

 

[Bulls on Parade]

Let's go defense. DOMINATE!

I want to see some energetic havoc on every play.

 

[False Start]

 

[OzzO]

Clowny was right there

 

[Bulls on Parade]

The Panthers O-Line looks soft. We're winning the trenches.

 

[amazing80]

Clowney with nice pressure to knock the ball out on Cam as he threw, another quick series. Love the way the defense is playing.

 

[SAMURAITEXAN]

Newton is asking for it with that first down chit. Get him Watt.

 

[Goodwrench3]

Great play by Clowney there

The throw to mumps was fine.

 

[Mollywhopper]

Clowney, Watt. Watt, Clowney.

 

[Hervoyel]

Clowny was right there

Yes he was. Hope we keep seeing that as he gets his legs back under him and finds his groove

 

[OzzO]

Brian T. Smith ‏@ChronBrianSmith
WR Jerricho Cotchery's down for Carolina, who already lacks WRs. #Panthers #Texans

 

[False Start]

Newton is asking for it with that first down chit. Get him Watt.

Watt was fixing to get his ass on that 3rd down play. He had beat his man like a red-headed stepchild.

 

[Bulls on Parade]

Cushing is looking better than last week. At least early on. Minus the one penalty.

 

[OzzO]

PDS ‏@PatDStat
Panthers doing a good job of widening J.J. Watt by alignment. Sending a RB over to help too. Makes is a long run for Watt to get to Cam.

 

[SAMURAITEXAN]

Nice D. Clowney is looking good.

 

[bah007]

The throw to mumps was fine.

The outcome wasn't his fault but was higher than I'd like if I'm the WR. Still should have been caught.

 

[WolverineFan]

The Panthers O-Line looks soft. We're winning the trenches.

They have a bottom 5 OL unit and their best OL, Turner, already got hurt. We should dominate that battle.

 

[OzzO]

Drew Dougherty ‏@DoughertyDrew
Aside from Cam Newton's 11-yd rush, #Texans have allowed a combined 9 yards of total offense on 3 drives.

 

[Bulls on Parade]

A few games already reached the second quarter.
We're still a little over 6 minutes in first. Too many penalties...

 

[TheMatrix31]

Special Teams my ass.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Where is our punt protection blocking. Our opponents are always right on our returner

 

[htowntexans1985]

Special teams is a joke.

 

[Bulls on Parade]

LOL, what's the NFL record for most penalties in one quarter?

 

[Hervoyel]

Got that mask

 

[xtruroyaltyx]

carolina does a lot of posing.

 

[Mollywhopper]

Special teams is a joke.

So a returner a holder and a long snapper walk into a bar ...

 

[paycheck71]

What a dumb facemask by #95

 

[WolverineFan]

I don't even know why we try to return punts. We never get yards on the return and almost always get flagged for holding/block in the back. It's a negative play pretty much every time.

 

[SAMURAITEXAN]

Not so special team now

 

[False Start]

Y'all see #93 posing like he had made the game winning tackle? I cant stand that.

 

[TheMatrix31]

I'd rather watch this team play permanent defense and try to score touchdowns that way. This is unbearable.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Our OL can't run block for beans

 

[paycheck71]

Highlight of the game so far. They need to go to her more often.

 

[htownfan32]

Refs are helping us out here but I'll take it.

 

[False Start]

Our O-Line is getting to be on the crappy side, and plus Blue sucks.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

late hit

 

[paycheck71]

We're getting bailed out by Panthers dumb penalties.

 

[Bulls on Parade]

Our O-Line is getting to be on the crappy side, and plus Blue sucks.

We've moved the ball like 45 yards just on penalties alone. I'll take it.
