OUT: Texans OG Brandon Brooks will NOT play for the Texans tonight. Ben Jones is sick as well, but will try to play thru it. #TNF

Oh hell, you don't think he got Ebola in Dallas over the past weekend do you ?

 

[Playoffs]

So we only need to hold him to 3rd and 10 yards for a first down and winning!

 

[Showtime100]

[speedfreek]

One note for tonight. New LED lights. First time any NFL stadium using them for a night game. Told field will look like Lakers gm at Staples.

Should I even say it

 

[Bulls on Parade]

How we're not doing Battle Red on a national TV game against a divisional rival is beyond me.

Battle Red would have been fun for a game like this but as long as we win that's all that matters.

Two questions while I'm thinking about it. The Chiefs wore all red the other night and I didn't hear one thing about them looking like ketchup bottles. Do they get a pass the Texans don't?

Second question........did anybody ever figure out WTF an "excessive time out" is (ala Buffalo Bills injury inside 2:00)? If we are driving late in the game and we have no time outs, I want me one of those.

 

[TheMatrix31]

Hopefully the NFL fines Arian Foster for his stupid ****ing "Stay Strong St. Louis/RIP Mike Brown" shirt. They're fining everything and everyone else.

I always thought that was dumb and don't mind the all red at all.

Can't quote the exact rule but if you have no time outs and have an injury under certain circumstances there is a clock runoff iirc. Yes, that was vague.

 

[HouTx11]

Not a fan of the ketchup bottle look.

OTOH, the Texans tend to kick butt often with the red shirts/white pants. That 43-13 thumping of the Ravens was a pretty sight to see!!!

That should look pretty cool.

I appeciate it. I remember there weren't 10 seconds left or something like that. Oh well.

As far as the uniforms go, if they took on red jerseys and white pants as their permanent look I'd be happy with that. Red on red, not so much.

I thought the exact same thing when I saw the Chefs highlights. The all red is alright, but yeah red and white is the way to go as you said. However, the all blue looks mean.

Why should he be fined for that?

 

[playa465]

So the game is going to be broadcast on Ch 11 and NFL network? Need to know for DVR.

Yep.

 

[dream_team]

Let's go Texans! Need to get off to a good start on offense!

 

[PapaL]

Cushing is mic'd up today. He should have a good view of the game from the bench.

 

[TheMatrix31]

Take care of the ball and hit Luck. Don't allow him to flop, which he's been known to do.

 

[ChrisG]

Gotta hold onto that. Good play and pass

 

[PapaL]

Gotta catch that Nuk

 

[dream_team]

Gotta hold onto that. Good play and pass

bad placement by Fitz

 

[HouTx11]

Gotta hang onto the ball, Hopkins. Not Fitz's fault there.

 

[PapaL]

bad placement by Fitz

Hit him in the hands. Where else should it have been?

 

[TheMatrix31]

Why are the stands so damn empty?

 

[ChrisG]

We doing the huge cushion thing again?

 

[PapaL]

Mericulus w a good play. Imagine that.

 

[dream_team]

Hit him in the hands. Where else should it have been?

more to the outside, threw it to the wrong side of hopkins

 

[Austrian]

NIce play by Mercilus

 

[HouTx11]

UGH J-Jo

 

[PapaL]

59 is firing off the ball tonight.

 

[markn]

Moral victory there

 

[PapaL]

more to the outside, threw it to the wrong side of hopkins

Considering it was thrown before Nuk made his break and it hit him in the hands I'd say it was a drop.

 

[Austrian]

First 1st quarter points allowed this year. Let's see if we can get first half offense for a change.

 

[Big Lou]

Holy crap sure some grabby hands on that Indy O-Line......

 

[JB]

Considering it was thrown before Nuk made his break and it hit him in the hands I'd say it was a drop.

meh, defender made a great play and put his hat on the ball

 

[TheMatrix31]

That's ****ing unacceptable.

 

[ChrisG]

Terrible. So we have no guys on the 10 rd limit line?

 

[htownfan32]

wtf did I just see

 

[Big Lou]

WTF is Marciano back?

 

[Austrian]

I hate the Colts

 

[xtruroyaltyx]

Mercilus playing well so far. Should give him confidence for the rest if the game.

 

[PapaL]

Onside kick must've been Fitz fault too.

 

[ChrisG]

I have never seen a kicker kick it to himself and get it. Absolutely terrible by Texans

 

[HouTx11]

Oh dear........
