Still got electricity to watch the game! (so far)

Man Mercedes-Benz is going all-in with the NFL exposure thing as I'm petty sure they also have the naming rights, the stadium name on the new digs the Falcons have in ATL.

 

[TejasTom]

I don't know what to watch for in this game because I need to read through the injury thread to see if we can even field a team.

On the bright side it will give the fringe players another chance to shine.

Never know when one of them will have a break through game.

I didn't know they had both NO and ATL...

The season ending injury to Julian Edelman last night should surely factor into playing time for our entrenched starters.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Well another really late night to catch game, watch the fight and keep track of the Astros game. It all starts at 1:30 am and probably finishes when the sun is coming up here in Italy. Didn't really get the nap I wanted to help with this.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Looks like we will see Ogunbowale tonight despite the injury he sustained after that questionable hit last week.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

BTW, for anyone interested, the roof will be closed tonight!

BTW, for anyone interested, the roof will be closed tonight!

Seems like the Saints keep the roof closed almost as much as the Texans do.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Is this web site slow? Or is it just me?

 

[JamTex]

Minutes away. Go Texans!

Could be the weather brother.

 

[Texansballer74]

It's almost time to get to listen to Spencer trip over the english language/ same old cliches.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Finally got NFL Gameday going....man, it seems to take me 3 steps and logins to get past the Free trial option.

 

[TexanBorn51]

Let s Go Texans! and Prayers and thoughts for all in Harvey s way im in San Antonio

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

The pursuit and tackling was poor

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Lucky penalty!

When I talked to Savage about this he thought it was helping him. He has the most experience in the O and he gets everyone on the same page.

Jason Cole‏@JasonCole62

Interesting to note entering this game, #Texans QB Tom Savage has played extremely well in preseason without his top WRs and starting LT

 

[macho grande]

Lucky penalty!

Nope. Legit block in back. JJo being where he was supposed to be.

"Nice little return?"

 

[TexanBorn51]

they got this new rb recently i hear the RB corp il banged up

 

[paycheck71]

"Nice little return?"

Well, it was "little"

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

JJ and Clowney were used as bookends...........and both missed their tackles.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Watching game and fight...2nd prelim fight getting under way.

 

[htownfan32]

If your power goes out, and you have a laptop (cannot guarantee this works on ipads and whatnot):

1. Connect to internet using Xfinity hotspot, which they've made available to everyone within range of a hotspot
2. www.reddit.com/r/nflstreams
3. Find the Texans game
4. Use one of the links to watch

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Lamm definitely moved.

 

[OzzO]

Didn't realize Fido was out

Aaron Wilson‏@AaronWilson_NFL
With C.J. Fiedorowicz sidelined with a quadriceps injury, Stephen Anderson working in with first-team offense

 

[TexanBorn51]

Harvey s been on everywhere in san antone and im on antenna. But NBC is playing the game YAY!

Watching game and fight...2nd prelim fight getting under way.

Keep us up to date

I'm watching football tonight and going to save the $100.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Martin did not look good in that last series.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

OL didn't look to good on the first series. X got ran thru like he was stuck to the turf. O'Brien might want to go hurry-up with the next series to give the OL a better chance.

 

[OzzO]

Clowney and Watt going to grab a seat. Expect to see them again vs. Jacksonville.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Our pass rush has been anemic so far.

 

[steelbtexan]

Brees carving them up.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

What is going on with our tackling?

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Cushing is lucky that he wasn't called for holding in the EZ.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

D tightened up when they need to...nice job holding that drive to 3.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Im closing eyes

 

[OzzO]

hmmmm line starting to open up lanes inside for Miller

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Martin is being pushed back on most plays. I hope he is not having problems with high ankle surgery.

 

[Texansballer74]

Dink and Donk with Mr. Check Down Savage. Yeah he knows O'Brien's offense

 

[OzzO]

Brian T. Smith‏Verified account@ChronBrianSmith
I'm sure #Texans will rip open passing game in Week 1. But it continues to be dropoffs, checkdowns and short routes in preseason.


.... it doesn't matter, Brian

 

[OptimisticTexan]

OL double jeopardy holding penalty stopped that drive.

 

[TexanBorn51]

nice ST play there u go again Zach s name drafted last yr

 

[TheKDog]

The offense is painful.

Two drives.

One first down.

Three third-and-longs.
