**Official GameDay Thread** Pre-Season Home Opener New Orleans Saints @ Houston Texans

[JB]

Is that normal? I can't imagine that much interest in the Texans/Saints just out of the blue.

scouting prospective cuts I imagine... canadian teams for sure

 

[EVOLVIST]

Sigh - so many double posts.

 

[EVOLVIST]

Like smoke through a keyhole?

"Like smoke through a keyhole," would be a good metaphor if it were a common, every day thing to do, like, "Oh yeah, when I smoke I blow it through a keyhole, naturally." But nobody does it. Supposedly, some Chinese guy did it when he invented the phrase, but not everybody is that cool.

In the end (pun intended), I think a more apt phrase would be, "Like Piss through a peehole." With this we can relate, male or female, we can relate.

Only three Texans players officially not dressing for tonight's game.

Obviously, not accurate, Dunn and Blue out today as is Newton.

 

[Seegara]

I have to go with the Saints in a close, high scoring game. Without Watt our defense is poor to mediocre.

 

[BYDS]

Watching Saints pre game the Texans don't stand a chance. Lot of pressure on Os, they have no respect at all for him.

 

[Thorn]

The Texas are playing with a crappy ass o-line again. Story of our lives around here.

 

[xtruroyaltyx]

Jeff Allen out

 

[thetexanator]

jd clowney bruised labia. questionable to play

 

[xtruroyaltyx]

Clowney looks like he's playing to me.

 

[Brisco_County]

Tillman just said Lentz is like a baby Wes Welker.

Racist.

 

[False Start]

Is it possible that this John Sadak, or whatever is worse than Joe Myer?

 

[BYDS]

Clowney looks like he's playing to me.

He must be talking about his wife...

 

[False Start]

The field looks awesome!!!

 

[xtruroyaltyx]

Clowney looks like he's playing to me.

 

[Thorn]

Of for gods sakes, how many times have we seen that exact same ****?

 

[OzzO]

That new grass is slippery

 

[ObsiWan]

Hmmmm.... Anderson running with the 1's...?

 

[OzzO]

John McClain ‏@McClain_on_NFL
Another starter out for Texans. Tony Bergstrom started at RG for Jeff Allen, who had a death in the family.

 

[False Start]

Run, Run, pass.

 

[OzzO]

Damn, now that was a nice touch throw

 

[False Start]

Beautiful pass!!!!

 

[ObsiWan]

Now THAT was a nice touch pass.

 

[STEEL BLUE TEXANS]

Young receivers looking good!

 

[Thorn]

Much, much better. Nice pass and catch for a TD.

 

[OzzO]

Aaron Wilson ‏@AaronWilson_NFL
Will Fuller catches his first NFL touchdown on a perfect spiral to the corner of the end zone from Brock Osweiler

 

[BYDS]

Fuller and B. Miller will make a difference this season. Man we need to get a better OLine.

 

[xtruroyaltyx]

That brought a scream from my lungs and a smile to my face.

Love it. I ******* love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ObsiWan]

Convert a turnover into six pts.
Gotta like that.

Oh wait, it's preseason performance so it don't mean anything
LoL

 

[b0ng]

Color me skeptical j/k

 

[OzzO]

Adam Wexler ‏@awexlerKPRC
Osweiler 4-4, 51 Yds, TD on the touchdown drive. #Texans

 

[EVOLVIST]

Small hands.

 

[OzzO]

Aaron Wilson ‏@AaronWilson_NFL
Texans' linebackers are Brian Cushing, Benardrick McKinney, John Simon and Whitney Mercilus

 

[thetexanator]

[Brandon420tx]

For the last time there is no skeptical colored crayon, would you like a nice plaid?

 

[thetexanator]

intentionality is not a fn word

 

[xtruroyaltyx]

Oh my clowney....

 

[OzzO]

JDC almost had em

 

[OzzO]

What a hit by Demps!!!!!

Recovery by Hal

 

[thetexanator]

whos man was that?

 

[xtruroyaltyx]

I'm liking what I'm seeing.

I actually like clowney coming in on passing downs for now for multiple reasons.

 

[OzzO]

SportsRadio 610 ‏@SportsRadio610 23s23 seconds ago
The Texans recovered a fumble on a deep pass by Brees to Brandon Coleman. Andre Hal picked it up. Play being reviewed.
Sarah Barshop ‏@sarahbarshop 51s51 seconds ago
Quintin Demps making up for last week with a big hit on Brandon Coleman that forced a fumble. The ball was recovered by Andre Hal.

 

[Brandon420tx]

What a hit by Demps!!!!!

Recovery by Hal

I thought it was pleasant, but my feed from NFL.com is awful

 

[False Start]

I knew they were going to review the play And say it was not a Football move

 

[OzzO]

WEAK!!!!

Looked like a football move to me

 

[thetexanator]

cushing looking old

 

[EVOLVIST]

Just a few years ago this was the NFL.

Just a few years ago that was a catch and a fumble.

 

[OzzO]

Adam Wexler ‏@awexlerKPRC
Tony Bergstrom started at RG for Jeff Allen (death in family per @McClain_on_NFL).
Aboushi in now....except refs reversed call.

Seth Payne ‏@PayneNFL
I take it back. You're dead to me, Referee Craig Wrolstad.

 

[ObsiWan]

That was a fumble. Dude caught it and took two steps on his way to a third when he got drilled.
I guess I should be happy we weren't flagged for an illegal hit to a "defenseless" receiver.

 

[mussop]

Miller made that play on his own. He's looking really good.
