Philadelphia Eagles @ Houston Texans. 11/2. Noon. FOX. **Official Battle Red Thread**

[speedfreek]

Every play is a running play. How the hell do they keep moving the
ball?

Don't bother blitzing, it's MARK FREAKING SANCHEZ

Mercilus and Reed the only healthy OLBs left. #Texans

 

[False Start]

NRG turf strike again! lol.

 

[gtexan02]

How the **** is "hands to the face" a "point of emphasis" but holding on EVERY SINGLE DAMN PLAY isnt?

Because one encourages points and one does not

 

[JB]

Is swearinger playing today?

 

[legacy_gt]

run defense is pathetic

 

[speedfreek]

The next arm tackle should cause RAC and the entire defensive
staff to run laps.

 

[False Start]

How the **** is "hands to the face" a "point of emphasis" but holding on EVERY SINGLE DAMN PLAY isnt?

I said the same thing to my cousin when they called that BS penalty.

 

[JB]

NRG turf strike again! lol.

NO that was Pickett on his ankle

 

[speedfreek]

445 yds of offense with SANCHEZ!

That tells me all I need to know about whether this
defense is a contender or pretender

 

[ObsiWan]

They're using our respect for their passing attack to spread us out and then run it on us.

Kelly isn't gonna let Sanchez wing it after two INTs though
we shouldn't give so much respect to their passing game

 

[Hervoyel]

This defense can't tackle. Think about that. A professional football teams defense can't ****ing tackle. It's not the coaches responsibility to teach these guys basic tackling. Not at this level. These are profoundly flawed players we have accumulated here. These guys have probably only been taught how to tackle for 10 years. 15 in some cases. What's the problem?

 

[TheMatrix31]

Gah. This game's over. The guys obsessed with pace are now slowing it down.

 

[Mollywhopper]

445 yds of offense with SANCHEZ!

You're really seeing this game as Mark Sanchez single handedly beating us?

 

[False Start]

Screens kill. Especially when the CB is 10 yards off the line.

 

[GuerillaBlack]

NRG is cursed for real.

 

[TheMatrix31]

Indian. Burial. Ground.

 

[Austrian]

Now down to 1 healthy OLB. Who should come in and play OLB?

 

[ObsiWan]

PDS ‏@PatDStat
Mercilus and Reed the only healthy OLBs left. #Texans

you jinxed it
Mercilus down now

 

[False Start]

NO that was Pickett on his ankle

I know, I was just fking around.

 

[speedfreek]

I bet some of these injuries are hooey, that's the way that
all college teams slow down the HUNH

 

[JCTexan]

Gotta hold them to a FG here.

 

[Hervoyel]

Is swearinger playing today?

Swag is worthless.

 

[stonewhite]

1 stop please

 

[mussop]

These defense blows. It's JJ and 11 JAGs..

Either that, or RAC is hype.

These guys just don't wrap up and tackle.

Mercilous has had a great game.

 

[TheMatrix31]

This is a wasted timeout.

 

[speedfreek]

Here's the game.

7pts = L

3pts = fighting chance.

 

[stonewhite]

If they convert its over regardless

 

[ATXtexanfan]

Looked like a first

 

[ObsiWan]

This is a wasted timeout.

disagree, the defense needed this blow

 

[speedfreek]

did not convert. challenge, bad spot

 

[Hervoyel]

I love that "If the Eagles kicked a FG they'd lead by 6" if the Texans had a QB they'd lead by 10!

 

[False Start]

Shut up DJ, forward progress.

 

[ATXtexanfan]

Game over

 

[TheMatrix31]

Here goes the second timeout wasted.

 

[silvrhand]

that's a smart challenge

 

[GuerillaBlack]

Why would you challenge that man. Save the timeout.

 

[JB]

Why would you challenge that man. Save the timeout.

only chance you got

 

[stonewhite]

Why would you challenge that man. Save the timeout.

They're scoring a TD if it's not turnover on downs. Game would be over.

 

[Jottoz]

No Home Cookin for Texans

 

[False Start]

Here goes the second timeout wasted.

Pretty much. The refs aren't gonna make themselves look bad. lol.

 

[ObsiWan]

where is Mr. 46-10?

 

[speedfreek]

so, just like last year -- fat randy will be a reason we lose a game.

Can we please just admit that the guy is not clutch?

 

[redwhiteANDblue]

Why would you challenge that man. Save the timeout.

What's the point of a time out if they score a touchdown here? Game is over then. Might as well give it a shot and challenge it. These refs have a brain fart sometimes and might make a good call for us... Who knows

 

[TheMatrix31]

How often do they change the damn spot?

 

[mussop]

This defense can't tackle. Think about that. A professional football teams defense can't ****ing tackle. It's not the coaches responsibility to teach these guys basic tackling. Not at this level. These are profoundly flawed players we have accumulated here. These guys have probably only been taught how to tackle for 10 years. 15 in some cases. What's the problem?

Yeh its rediculous. But the coaches need to start holding these guys accountable. Let them know the next guy that tries a shoulder tackle is watching the rest of the game from the sidelines.

 

[speedfreek]

no turnover = game over

 

[TheMatrix31]

Great. Now we have one ****ing timeout and we're supposedly going to stop them or score 10 points to make up for it?

 

[silvrhand]

So many penalties in this game..

 

[Hervoyel]

so, just like last year -- fat randy will be a reason we lose a game.

Can we please just admit that the guy is not clutch?

Oh he's garbage. No question. We're keeping that fat **** around because if we don't Rick looks even more incompetent than he already does.
