Go Texans!

 

[TheMatrix31]

I don't hate the Broncos even one bit.

Here's hoping we continue showing life and that maybe, just maybe, we can stay healthy.

 

[LikeMike]

Any word on if DT is playing today?

 

[JamTex]

It's game day!
Looking forward to seeing how DT fits in the with the team, how he's used and if he's going to work with Watson and D Hop.
This should be a fun game.

Go Texans!

 

[macho grande]

Their stadium looks awesome. Now let's elect to kick some ass!

 

[Lucky]

The AFC South leading Texans travel to Denver in search of their 6th win in a row. And DFW TV picks the KC vs. Cleveland.

 

[Thorn]

Daylight savings time is a pain in the ass.

Oh yeah, go Texans.

 

[NastyNate]

Daylight savings time is a pain in the ass.

Oh yeah, go Texans.

When you have to be at work at 5am on a Sunday, it's a blessing.

FYI, we’re switching to standard time.

When you have to work from 7PM Sat. nite until 7AM Sun. it's a big pain

 

[NastyNate]

I work shift work, 5-5, I've definitely caught it a few years on the crap side. I feel your pain broski. Get some sleep!

 

[JamTex]

I work nights. 10 pm to 6:30 am. I still find time to watch my Texans play. No matter what. Even if I'm watching the game on my phone at work or listening to it on 610 on the way to work.

Have to go back in tonite... but not until 11 so I will get to sleep AND watch the entire game hopefully (hoping I hear the alarm).

Chiefs have a noon KO and we play the late game today in Denver, so what's to prevent them from carrying both games and why can't we do that here in Houston ?
I'd feel very confidant about predicitng a win today if the game were in NRG but in Denver it's a lot tougher opponent.

 

[Lucky]

Chiefs have a noon KO and we play the late game today in Denver, so what's to prevent them from carrying both games and I wish we could do that here in Houston.

FOX has the doubleheader this week and both the Chiefs/Browns and Texans/Broncos are on CBS.

What early game is CBS Houston picking?

 

[JB]

FOX has the doubleheader this week and both the Chiefs/Browns and Texans/Broncos are on CBS.

Only one network gets to show a doubleheader locally each week?

 

[AcresHomesTexan]

FOX has the doubleheader this week and both the Chiefs/Browns and Texans/Broncos are on CBS.

Yes...i was going to post that after ready this earlier...it would be strange considering the amount of Texans we have seen this year otherwise

 

[Lucky]

Only one network gets to show a doubleheader locally each week?

Yep. Do you have Red Zone? I'm sure you will see plenty of KC/Cleveland.

 

[AcresHomesTexan]

Only one network gets to show a doubleheader locally each week?

Normally yes...seems like a couple of times a year there are exceptions though

 

[JB]

Yep. Do you have Red Zone? I'm sure you will see plenty of KC/Cleveland.

I don't unless I choose to stream it... No TV here

Not only is he playing, he’s starting

[KA4Texan]

Another day that work doesnt interfere with the game so I can watch rather than listen.

 

[mussop]

Feels like a trap game.

 

[JB]

Feels like a trap game.

Who exactly are they looking ahead to? The Bye?

 

[beerlover]

Feels like a trap game.

Because Broncos need it more? 3-5 vs 5-3

 

[Rich Schmidt]

Because Broncos need it more? 3-5 vs 5-3

Broncos management sent signals they were giving up in 2018 and had no confidence. They have no backup QB and ejected DT for future help

I hope the players mail it in a little as well as fans

That should be no surprise. I'm also expecting to see Vyncint Smith out there to create the stretch this game in the absence of Fuller.

Players seldom pack it in, as they still have to show their wares for future value.

 

[dream_team]

This is a hard game for me to pick. Playing in Denver is probably the biggest home field advantage in the NFL. I still don’t have confidence in BOB to come up with a good game plan offensively. I see a lot of shotgun, long developing routes, and hoping Lamm & Davenport can slow down Von & Chubb.

The run D was also a little concerning against the Dolphins. Also, we’ll be without Cunningham. We must stop their run game.

 

[steelbtexan]

FYI, we’re switching to standard time.

Clock falls back

Hopefully the gameplan has a bunch of 3 step drops and they can run the ball.

I was thinking the same thing with regards to Smith. I'd been surprised that no one had mentioned that.

 

[PapaL]

Coutee ruled out. I swear we have some of the most fragile WRs in the league.

 

[santo]

Coutee ruled out. I swear we have some of the most fragile WRs in the league.

At least they’re fast.

 

[steelbtexan]

Coutee ruled out. I swear we have some of the most fragile WRs in the league.

Hence the acquisition of the very durable DT.

 

[PapaL]

Hence the acquisition of the very durable DT.

Down 2, added 1. Still a net loss.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Baked potato soup -- check
Grilled cheese sandwiches -- check
Shiner Bock -- check
A passionate dislike for the broncos -- check

HOU -- 30
DEN -- 24

 

[steelbtexan]

Down 2, added 1. Still a net loss.

Coutee will probably be back after the bye.

I'm actually impressed with the job Ervin has done in the slot and I cant believe I just typed that.

 

[Uncle Rico]

What sneaky stuff could DT have told RAC about the offense?

 

[mussop]

Who exactly are they looking ahead to? The Bye?

Because we have beaten a bunch of bad teams and this one isn’t as bad as their record indicates. It’s an away game and they have exceptional edge rushers which is our weakness. I don’t have faith OB can come up with a scheme to Neutralise them.

I can see us being over confident and blowing it.

I think there are very good reasons the Texans could lose this game. Many of which you mentioned. I'd be shocked if this team were overconfident. Too many injuries on both sides of the ball.

But... this is the Bob McNair Social Club on Kirby... so who knows.

 

[TejasTom]

I hope I didn’t waste a trip up here. Texans fans everywhere we gone.

Headed to stadium now.

Sometimes talent trumps scheme.

Hopefully we see a bunch of 3 step drops.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

As per my comments in the TEXANS VS BRONCOS INJURY REPORT, This is pretty much the way I was hoping things would be handled today.

Texans inactives: CB Johnathan Joseph, WR Keke Coutee, CB Aaron Colvin, S Andre Hal, ILB Zach Cunningham, DE Joel Heath and CB Deante Burton.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

 

[TheMatrix31]

If O'Brien had any nuts, he'd run a play action bomb to Demaryius first play of the game.

 

[ATXtexanfan]

If O'Brien had any nuts, he'd run a play action bomb to Demaryius first play of the game.

Lol if he had nuts alot of problems offensively would never surface

 

[Scooter]

If O'Brien had any nuts, he'd run a play action bomb to Demaryius first play of the game.

With both Roby and Stewart out that may be a pretty good idea. We need to bring back Rex "fk it I'm throwing deep" Grossman for one play lol.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Washington is getting killed by Atlanta...............38-14..........
