Houston Texans @ Pittsburgh Steelers. 10/20. 7:30. **Official MNF Gameday Thread**

[WolverineFan]

This protection is just horrendous. Week after week. Fitz isn't even getting to his 3rd step on his drop before he has a guy in his face.

 

[PapaL]

Gotta give Arian some credit. Him, his rubber band hamstring, and fat wallet have been running hard.

 

[mattieuk]

Just waiting for the first OL holding penalty at this point. Thank goodness Foster can run!

 

[speedfreek]

Love that empty backfield..

 

[thunderkyss]

Let's act like we're supporting the Texans, but complain about everything they do.

 

[False Start]

Arian came to play!!

 

[thunderkyss]

We crossed mid field already. I think that's the first time in the first qtr since Oakland.

 

[mattieuk]

What a beaut from Foster!!! Such a flashback watching him run this year. Love it.

 

[TexansThunder]

Foster is in Beast Mode!

 

[WolverineFan]

That's a hell of an opening drive boys.

 

[Austrian]

That was an excellent drive. Excellent.

 

[PapaL]

Good drive. Good effort buying time by Fitz.

 

[TheMatrix31]

That drive couldn't have been more ideal. More, please.

 

[steelbtexan]

Blue

 

[thunderkyss]

We're on the board... we scored in the first qtr....... yeeeee haaaaa.

 

[speedfreek]

Good drive -- a score -- no penalties.

Wanna see more Blue to keep the tread wear off of arian

 

[False Start]

Bluuuue!!

 

[ObsiWan]

Looks like someone spiked Foster's T-Bone with a side of bacon.

Naaah...
no meat...
it's the spinach baby

 

[redwhiteANDblue]

94 yards on yo ass! LET'S GO!!!

 

[Mollywhopper]

D-line getting off the ball ...
Arian running like a beast ...
Fitz makin magic ...

Fun f*ckin stuff ...

 

[PapaL]

Long drive too. Let's not forget that. Started pinned deep.

 

[Thorn]

What a fantastic opening drive! That was fun to watch!

 

[thunderkyss]

What a beaut from Foster!!! Such a flashback watching him run this year. Love it.

I hope he's ok, looked kinda gimply at the end of that run. He should have been able to pull away from Polomalu

 

[xtruroyaltyx]

Umm... We scored guys....

Woo sah....

 

[Vance87]

I think Manning had so much fun last night he made a deal to put Fitz's uniform on and play for him.

Fitz's best drive as a Texan.

 

[dtran04]

Run blocking is great. Pass blocking looks absolutely terrible.

So.....let's run Arian and Alfred all night.

 

[JCTexan]

Great opening drive.

 

[thunderkyss]

I hope he's ok, looked kinda gimply at the end of that run. He should have been able to pull away from Polomalu

Never mind, looked fine on the sideline.

 

[mattieuk]

I hope he's ok, looked kinda gimply at the end of that run. He should have been able to pull away from Polomalu

I dont know about gimpy beforehand (he was running a lot that drive so might have been a bit gassed), but after the CJ Spiller injury, I'm going to be antsy today when one of our RBs gets tackled like that.

 

[humblegeo]

Me gusta!!#

Let's act like we're supporting the Texans, but complain about everything they do.

LOL, it's what we do.

 

[Nitrofish]

Gotta give props to Fitz for getting out of at least two sacks, one near the goal line!

 

[thunderkyss]

Interesting formation....... Watt, Crick, Grease..... Mercilus.

 

[JCTexan]

Gotta give props to Fitz for getting out of at least two sacks, one near the goal line!

No doubt. 94 yard opening drive is a nice start.

 

[ChrisG]

Lol Watt tackled his own guy

 

[PapaL]

Watt just tackled Crick lol

 

[False Start]

JJ just laid out Crick.

 

[mattieuk]

Gotta give props to Fitz for getting out of at least two sacks, one near the goal line!

Yeah that backed up play was great. I was just getting ready for the punt, and he got out of there brilliantly and delivered a great ball.

 

[thunderkyss]

Dj wrapping up.

 

[speedfreek]

Gotta hand it to Ben and the steeler OC - they are creative.

 

[TheMatrix31]

Oh wow, Swearinger completed an open-field tackle!

 

[redwhiteANDblue]

If our pass rush doesn't show up we don't win on defense.

 

[PapaL]

Does Joseph bring anything besides the title of being our best CB? It can't be by very much anymore.

 

[thunderkyss]

Kendrick Lewis sniffed that out. Set the edge, Bell had nowhere to go

 

[thunderkyss]

Another instinctive play by Lewis

 

[ObsiWan]

Oh wow, Swearinger completed an open-field tackle!

Grandma got on his case

 

[mattieuk]

Holy crow Bell took a Reliant sized divot out of the floor there!

 

[PapaL]

If our pass rush doesn't show up we don't win on defense.

You don't rush Big Ben like a traditional QB. Dude is a freaking wizard when he's improvising. Gotta keep him contained.

 

[thunderkyss]

Our ball..... way to go Mercilus

 

[Austrian]

Nice play Whitney.
