Playoffs Game Day: Texans vs Browns- Wildcard

[TheRealJoker]

Unsung heroes:

John Metchie finally got to be a positive contributor! He made plays as a WR, runner and blocker. Lets hope he builds on this performance. We need him now more than ever.

Brevin Jordan! We only saw one pass for him but boy was it a good one. Where has this speed been all his career?!

Play of the game?! Too many to choose from but I do want to single out Steven Nelson’s pick six:

The pressure by Barnett forces the bad throw which Nelson easily picks off. Cashman absolutely obliterates Wyatt Teller sending him rolling downfield. Poor Stingley tried to do the same immediately after but did not have the same umph… but hey he did his part and got in the way!

Honorable mention to Christian Harris's pick 6, he read that beautifully and made Flacco look like bad Schaub

 

[DocBar]

Well, there’s still a chance to play the Steelers here in the AFCCG.

That would exorcise all of my Oilers demons.

 

[DocBar]

Beat the brakes off their azz, back to the puppy house for them and their fans

It's funny that they were favorites in this game and were marketing tee shirts that said Uder Dawgs. I'm currently working in the greater Cleveland area.

Harris won player of the game from NBC I believe. Well deserved. His best game since that national championship game (his final in college). Maybe he just needs big games to play to his potential?!

 

[DocBar]

You guys need to watch this.

That dude is hilarious. After watching this game, I don't think the Texans fear anyone. How poetic would a 49ers Texans SB be?

 

[DocBar]

Was it irking to anyone else how the commentators frequently mention the Browns injuries? The Texans suffered more than their fair share this season and kept on rocking.

He's been playing lights out the second half of the season

I remember he had the shoulder injury early this season as well. At any rate, I love to see the player he’s developing into.

Hopefully T² will show the same type of growth next year

Couldn''t comment during the game because I couldn't access the board, but did anyone else notice that the Texans got away with Tunsil being illegally downfield on the Collins screen TD? Tunsil was 3-4 yards downfield when CJ threw the screen. Is there a rule I'm missing?

There were a lot of penalties on both sides not called

 

[DocBar]

Rewatching the game, I'm even more impressed with the entire team. Regardless of how this season ends, look out in 2024.

Was the ball thrown behind the line of scrimmage? I don't recall, but if it is, then I don't think it is an issue to be down field

[OptimisticTexan]

Not sure what happened, but I was blocked from being on the site for the game. This morning I had no issues logging back onto the site. That was crazy, but I did pay closer attention to the game. Way to go Texans.

 

[Dejaview]

“Browns best defense in the League “
Hahahaha!! 45-14

His 157.2 passer rating was the highest for any rookie in any game in NFL history.

Hmmm, a bulldog with utters?

Not exactly my thing, but I can see the humor in it.

 

[Dejaview]

Also, we might be the only team that improved our draft pick by winning.


If that aint a face that says "I need a massage" I don't know what is.

Looks like he is subconsciously using his index finger just thinking about one.

 

[Texansballer74]

Man I couldn't post on here for most of the game. Was the site down or something? Oh well, that's the way you put the league on notice. Dominant win.

 

[Lucky]

Against the league's #1 defense. A "Super Bowl defense" as Chris Simms often repeated on the pre-game show.

Someone had posted prior to the game that this crew had thrown the fewest flags. May have been a tweet.

Nobody keeps up with what's going on in Houston. Maybe that is about to change?

Yes it was having issues for a lot of people.

Ever have a typo? Happened to me.

Against the league's #1 defense. A "Super Bowl defense" as Chris Simms often repeated on the pre-game show.

The story of the turnaround between Xmas eve and last night was that CJ Stroud really is on that level where he can find the crease in even the best D’s in the NFL, when we think of ‘superbowl D’ we are thinking of a bygone era when defence really could win championships, now the best O’s in the league, led by great QBs, have enough of the rules in their favour that they will eat cake against even the best D’s and it’s the big play turnover that a good D must play for in order to win.
The Texans managed to get pressure on Flacco to cause the first INT, pretty even game to that point, the turnover blew it wide open and the Texans quickly stretched to a blowout win.

I do think Flacco hadn’t got a lot of tape in that O and is maybe why he had previously looked so good, I’m cautious that the Texans may look more normal against a better O, we’ll have to wait and see.

 

[Houston_Fanatic]

Great game!!!!

Unfortunately it probably raises Slowik’s stock even more.

 

[Lucky]

Our next opponent will be far superior though.

Bring them on. This team is reminding me of the '81 Niners. They were coming off a 6-10 season with a young QB. Received contributions from unknown at the time players. And had a great draft class, including a HOFer. Upset a highly regarded team to get to the Super Bowl for the Niners 1st championship.

I would be lying if I said I saw this coming. But it's coming.

 

[Mangler]

The most irritating part of listening to the commentators yesterday was when they were making their case for Stefanski. They went on about how “deserving” he was to win the Coach of The Year award because of all the adversity his team had to overcome this season. Really?!

 

[corry]

The refs were incredible last night. Why? Because I didn't feel like they were effecting the game. More of that NFL. Let the players play and call the obvious.

It doesn't have to be hard.

 

[Texan Asylum]

You guys need to watch this.

Lol! Great video, thanks for sharing!

 

[wildroot]

I thought it was just me. Said at first I had no sponsor. This happened some years ago IIRC. I think MB overload but I just got back in after several hours. Not able to post during the game. Hope someone says why? @Lucky

Me too. Said no available sponsors...
The game was perfection though!

If the Texans can game plan to this level 3 weeks after playing Flacco, imagine what they can do with a full season of tape on an O.
This was a team win, not just an offensive win.

The uni’s live for another week.

 

[toronto]

Congrats guys, that was really impressive.

 

[DBCooper]

Man what a win!

I tried a thousand times yesterday to get on here, wanted to share the moment with my homies!

 

[TejasTom]

WTF. SITE CRASHED FOR 5 mns

I couldn't get on from a few minutes before the game until this morning.

Flacco is 11/12 , 146 yards,

Somethings needs to change....

It did!!!!!

Forum attendance seems way down for a playoff game. Perhaps others can't even get in....

Couldn't get on.

Great game fellas. Tried to log in since way before the game started but I kept getting a “not enough sponsors/certificate expired” message that wouldn’t let me in. I thought the site was taken down or something. Anyway, I hope yall enjoyed this win as much as I did! Good night all!

I jumped over to Clutchfans and tried back here occasionally.

Screaming A Smith said the reason Browns would win is because this is a historic level defense which specializes in man coverage and CJ is bottom 5 in man coverage. Seems he doesn't realize CJ is bottom 5 because he only throws into man coverage if he has no other choice. Might be part of the reason he also only has 5 NFL career interceptions.

 

[DBCooper]

So many demons exorcised this season..

I love this pic!

lol

 

[Ranger Tom]

Don't mind me, just throwing out some belated post reactions on account of yesterday's technical issues.

What a wonderful season this has been. I was already satisfied with the progress made from last year's starting point but this team keeps giving me more progress on top of that.

 

[TexansFan15]

Chiefs won and I expect Bill's to beat Steelers but honestly bring on the Ravens. If Texans beat them, something I now think is possible, CJ should be a lock for MVP.

Unfortunately I think voting for the awards ended on Tuesday. Honestly I think if the timeline had been extended then we’d sweep the awards of OROY, DROY, COTY, and EOTY.

 

[Bugman7star]

Still can't acess the site from my mobile device but it seems to be working on my laptop finally. Not sure what happened.

Anyways...What a damn game and performance! Stroud is something we haven't seen in a long time. It may be early to say generational, but he is playing like a skilled vet. Everyone did their job and this team is looking to make some more noise moving forward. Who would have thought, divisonal round once again. I am more conifdent than ever that this team has the ability to get to the AFC championship, just have to stay locked in. Excited to have another week of football to watch!

I pulled the screen down so it could refresh and it started working on my mobile phone.

Texans are on an elimination revenge tour.
Colts loss- Avenged with basically playoff elimination
Browns loss- Avenged with playoff elimination
Baltimore loss- There next.

I don’t get it? Why would the 49ers Texans SB be poetic? I must be missing something.

Meco and Slowik

I want that all Texas Bowl though

 

[maverick512000]

DeMeco and Slowik were both on the 49ers coaching staff before coming to Houston and are considered part of Shanahan coaching tree.

I still get that unless I use a vpn. With VPN turned I have access again.

Seriously? The Texans hired the HC, OC, and DC from the 49ers. Kyle Shannahan used to work for the Texans. It can't get much more poetic than that. Unless it's the Texans beating the Steelers in Houston in the AFCCG.
