TEXANS KICKOFF 2020 SEASON AGAINST THE CHIEFS

[amazing80]

Jesus Fairbairn....this is how the playoff game went. You shanked a kick right before half

 

[chicagotexan2]

Cmon defense hold baby

 

[texanhead08]

Tackling???? Just as I type this Watt stuffs the run!!! This defense has really missed huge opportunities with dropped INT's over the past 3 seasons.

This is where DC needs to walk down the line on the sideline and rheam these guys a new arsehole!!!!!

If they could catch they would be WR's

 

[JB]

Hargreaves can't cover Watkins

 

[amazing80]

Hargreaves can't cover

FIFY

 

[austins23]

It’s gonna be 28-7 before you know it

 

[chicagotexan2]

Horse collar

 

[banned1976]

Hargreaves can't cover Watkins

The Texans secondary have a lot of guys that can't cover a lot of guys.

 

[spek]

Guess they're gonna let them score before and after the half. That will work out for the Texans and a HORSE Collar tackle at tha!

 

[austins23]

That wasn’t a horse collar

 

[texanhead08]

I didn't like the fg attempt its been raining all day and you try a 51yd attempt on a wet field

 

[Earl34]

Chiefs totally disrespecting the Texans’ defense

 

[austins23]

I didn't like the fg attempt its been raining all day and you try a 51yd attempt on a wet field

Gotta go for it there

 

[Texazan]

so you can’t grab the runner at the letters??

 

[chicagotexan2]

that’s not a horse collar!!!

 

[thunderkyss]

4 penalties this half. All by Texans.

 

[austins23]

Bullshit call

 

[TheKDog]

7 first half points

Sounds about right for a Bill Obrien offense


But didn't he revamp it this off-season?

 

[PapaL]

Offense gonna need to put up A LOT of points this season. Defense is hot dumpster fire.

 

[chicagotexan2]

Ok not a terrible first half. The game is still within reach but they have to answer right away in the second half.

Problem is Chiefs have the ball first. Defense will have to figure out a stop somehow.

 

[Lucky]

There were opportunities to upgrade at RG in the offseason. The GM passed.

KC gets the ball to start the 2nd half.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Well KC only got a FG.....that's a moral victory for the defense......or is it?????

Today is a Houston sports day not seen in nearly 40 years. It's also terribly unlucky
Greg Rajan Sep. 9, 2020 Updated: Sep. 10, 2020 11:24 a.m.

It's not quite a true Houston sports equinox but Thursday will bring something the city's pro sports fans have not seen in nearly 40 years.

Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic delaying the NBA season by four months, the city's MLB, NFL and NBA teams all will play regular-season or playoff games on the same day Thursday for what is believed to be the first time since Oct. 12, 1980.

On that date, the Astros suffered one of the most heartbreaking losses in franchise history, losing the decisive Game 5 of the National League Championship Series to the Phillies 8-7 in 10 innings at the Astrodome after taking a 5-2 lead into the eighth inning with Nolan Ryan on the mound. The Astros will play at Oakland on Thursday afternoon in a game with considerably less stakes.

Also on that October 1980 day, the Oilers lost at Kansas City (where the Texans play Thursday night) and the visiting Rockets lost to the Lakers (who lead the Rockets 2-1 in their second-round playoff series entering Thursday's Game 4 in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.)

The 1980-81 Rockets got payback later that season, upsetting the defending champion Lakers in the first round en route to making their first NBA Finals appearance. Houston's NFL teams are still waiting to get payback on Kansas City, which won playoff games between the cities in 1993, 2015 and 2019.

THE REST OF THE STORY

So two of three teams play the same teams (there is the historic As thingy for number three) even stranger w/o better results at 8:50 PM

 

[banned1976]

Is Stills and Cobb suited up tonight? I can't tell.

 

[ATXtexanfan]

So these guys are like the rockets now. Who cares till playoffs. But I was expecting more from the offense. So many said we had a deep wr core.

And unfortunately the defense is what I expected

Is just game 1 but.....

 

[santo]

Is Stills and Cobb suited up tonight? I can't tell.

I haven’t seen them.

 

[banned1976]

The offense needs to play more up-tempo. The defense needs more talent, period.

 

[Lucky]

And unfortunately the defense is what I expected

I felt Weaver needed to bring more pressure. But, Bieniemy did a great job forcing the Texans to play the run and shut that down.

 

[thunderkyss]

24-7


Will the Texans let this happen?

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Wait, so you want him to hold onto the ball and dance around?

How about throwing it away if he has not good option?

 

[Texansballer74]

Texans offense running go routes into Cover 2. SMDH

Pretty much Bill Orienish to me. Lol all that speed and we can’t draw up plays to get them open

 

[Lucky]

Will the Texans let this happen?

They have to sell out to put pressure on the QB. Just waiting for Mahomes to pick out which wide open receiver he wants to throw to isn't working.

 

[welsh texan]

24-7


Will the Texans let this happen?

They don’t have much choice. Their 2 best players on D, JJ Watt is in his twilight years and not able to disrupt as he used to, and Reid plays Safety which isn’t the most impactful position.

They can’t stop the run front and centre, they can’t cover speedsters or power outside, they can’t cover TE’s.

A pick 6 may sway the game if they can come up with one, the O again looks like it can move the chains but can’t keep up on its own.

 

[santo]

On a positive note, I did pick up the KC rookie RB on my fantasy team.

 

[austins23]

Damn defense has cement in its cleats

 

[texanhead08]

No pass rush just like last year.

 

[Texazan]

It is annoying the gushing Al and Chris are doing over the Chiefs but hey they‘re good I suppose they deserve it

 

[banned1976]

24-7


Will the Texans let this happen?

Yep.

 

[amazing80]

51-7, volume 2

 

[ATXtexanfan]

51-7?

 

[Texansballer74]

This defense is freaking garbage

 

[austins23]

This defense is pathetic. Doesn’t even look like they are trying

 

[JB]

McKinney having a very bad night

 

[Texazan]

Boy, the rich get richer. What a pick at the bottom of the 1st. Reminds me of an even more physical Sproles

 

[Lucky]

DJ Reader? Don't need him.

Unless you want to win.

 

[santo]

This team is freaking garbage

 

[watt99x99]

where is fire OB xD

 

[ATXtexanfan]

Remember Jacob Martin and his guitar solo

 

[dream_team]

How about throwing it away if he has not good option?

Isn't that pretty much what he did?
