[Tale Gator]

Random weird fact from another game:

Matt Leinhart is the leading rusher for the Cards with 2:00 minutes left in the 4th.

 

[Buffi2]

[Errant Hothy]

Here we go again. Ryan freakin' Fitzpatrick. The kryptonite to the Texans

 

[ensign_lee]

[OzzO]

Rams at the 2 with 2 minutes left..... good lawd.

 

[Peldon]

[Reddevil63]

NM 2 minute warning

 

[OzzO]

Hey guys... you know your fighting for a job in the NFL, much less the Texans right? You know this, RIGHT?!?!?

 

[ensign_lee]

KILL FITZPATRICK! KILL HIM!!!!

 

[dtran04]

Well we know that our 3rd string defense is terrible...

 

[Ibar_Harry]

This game is being lost because we were 3 and out on the last two series in case you didn't notice.

 

[jerek]

Again I'd like to point out I am flat unimpressed with Smith's defensive playcalling on this series in particular. I am having Fangio flashbacks right now.

 

[Speedy]

They blitz on 2nd down and don't on 3rd and 10.

??????

 

[Errant Hothy]

This game is being lost because we were 3 and out on the last two series in case you didn't notice.

But we should still start Sage...right?

 

[TexanSam]

Thankfully this is only a preseason game!

<raises hand> noticed.... visions of Capers dancing through my head.

 

[RiotCommander]

We are getting no pressure at all with the front four. Now we have to get a little lucky and stuff them while avoiding the playaction pass :P


Oh well at least our first and second string played ok minus kicking, punting and 2ndary. Ok Im trying to look at the good side of things ....damnit we played better then the Rams I would hate to lose.

 

[texflex513]

1st and goal good time for texans takeaway right!!!!!.....fingers crossed

goaline stand will do though!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[RTP2110]

Wow the Ram RBs dance alot

 

[Marcus]

It's preseason Jerek!

Please!

 

[Texans_Chick]

it's totally ridiculous to worry about gameplans/playcalling in the exhibition season.

Not worried about it other than not getting our QB destroyed in a preseason game.

 

[veazeyt]

They put 6 second teamers for the goal line stance!

 

[OzzO]

dropped!!!!

 

[Reddevil63]

Anybody else think we should let them score so we can have some time left to get a FG?

 

[OzzO]

4th and goal.... 45 seconds..... time out rams....

 

[Reddevil63]

lol nevermind a goal line stand will work also

 

[Sarg01]

One play away.

 

[OzzO]

Anybody else think we should let them score so we can have some time left to get a FG?

nope... but if they do score, I'd like to see a try for 2 vs. overtime

 

[GuerillaBlack]

We Won!!!!

 

[veazeyt]

Game set match

 

[Peldon]

NICE stand.

 

[RTP2110]

INCOMPLETE!! Texans Win!!! 2-0!!!

 

[chuckm]

game, set, match ..... well almost

 

[jerek]

It's preseason Jerek!

Please!

Of course. I'm not trying to make anything more out of it or imply greater significance than need be. But I play to win preseason games too, and I'm just not fond of these soft plays. Call it experimentation, call it an idea that just didn't work, but I just don't like it. I think we need to err on the side of calculated aggression.

Never mind ... bend but don't break, again. We pulled it out. Great heart, third team.

 

[BattleRedRaider]

2 wins in a row!

(It's preseason.....but I don't care!)

 

[OzzO]

Texans D stops them.. Texans take over

 

[Reddevil63]

Good thing Im not a coach

 

[veazeyt]

My favorite stat, 51 POINTS in two preseason games, Go KUB OFFENSE!

 

[Buffi2]

Thank You Texans!

Awesome goal line stand!

 

[BradK10]

Not worried about it other than not getting our QB destroyed in a preseason game.

Well I guess they figured he's taken enough of beating the first couple years, what's another 2 quarters of punishment in a preseason game?

 

[texan279]

we are in sole possesion of 1st place in the AFC South baby!!!
