Demaryius Thomas is catching 74.1% of his targets with the #Texans through 6 games. The highest % with Denver was 65.7% in 2012. ’12 was Peyton Manning’s 1st season with Denver.

Isn't it nice not to get embarrassed on primetime anymore? Kid is special when the lights are the brightest. I can't wait to see how he does in his first playoff run.

Me too, but I'm sure if they lose in the playoffs, (which they will) some people around these parts will calling for BOB's head.

 

[steelbtexan]

For those that are starting to feel like Watson is weak against the blitz:

I would like to know the sack percentage against the CB blitz the last 3 weeks and if he's getting better at reading this particular blitz.

Since 2014, Lamar Miller is 1 of 2 running backs in the NFL with 6,000+ scrimmage yards (6,199) and 35+ total touchdowns (36). Todd Gurley is the other back. #Texans

Miller isn't as bad as some on here make him out to be. This yr he's running harder than in past yrs. He's been improving in pass pro as the season has gone on.

Now STOP IT, Just STOP IT. The next person that makes a comment like that gets the same thing I do to my dog, a rolled up newspaper on the nose. I am not Kidding, I Mean It.

Roll it up.

The only way they will call for his head if:

The teams comes out stale and lethargic.

Boneheaded timeout situation

Run his backs up the middle 80% of the time.

And doesn't call creative plays

A very subjective list.

Lets be realistic, you know it's going to happen.

#Texans K Ka'imi Fairbairn leads the NFL in points scored (136) and field goals made (34) this season. He also owns the most points scored and field goals made through 15 weeks of a season in franchise history. He has connected on his last 12 field goal attempts (Weeks 12-15).

Good to see our anemic red zone offense has one positive side-effect :-)

Didn't you just describe our entire season?

I said I would when we were 0-3

Nah it's Rick Smith's fault. Duh.

Doesn’t he only get like one target a day since the big first half?

 

[JB]

Didn't he have quite a few last game? For a second wr?

 

[PapaL]

That’s what I’m asking. I remember the first game. After that he was a ghost. I can only remember a TD and a few catches.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Doesn’t he only get like one target a day since the big first half?

The last game, he caught 6 passes for 60 yds.........the last 4 games he has average 4.5 receptions for ~180 yds.

Wanna hear something crazy? Since Week 8 the Texans, Colts, and Titans are a combined 17-4 with 3 of those losses coming to each other. Against non-AFCS teams they’re a perfect 12-0. This is easily the hottest division in football right now.

The Colts losing to the Jags is the mystery loss for those counting at home.

Not going to lie, when I first read his tweet I had to think on it for a couple minutes because the math wasn't adding up lol

The weak division stuff can get thrown out the door right along with the weak schedule.

 

[steelbtexan]

The weak division stuff can get thrown out the door right long with the weak schedule.

Yet here the Texans are sitting on a 10 probably atleast an 11 win season with a terrible HC who should've already been fired according to some.

These defenses know how to end a drive when the going gets tough!

 

[Texas Jake]

In the NFL, only the AFC West has more wins than our division. They have 31 and the AFC South has 30. Only the AFC South has three teams with winning records, though. It could be argued that the AFC South is the toughest division in the NFL right now.

Since 2014, #Texans RB @millertime_6 is second in the NFL in rushing yards with 4,849, trailing Bills RB LeSean McCoy (5,098). Miller and Steelers WR Antonio Brown are the only players in the NFL with 1,000 scrimmage yards & 5 touchdowns in in each of past five seasons (2014-18)

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Sad to bring the news that Derek Newton was just cut by the Saints who are in great need of OL.

#Texans WR @DeAndreHopkins joined Randy Moss as the only players in NFL history to post at least 500 receptions, 7,100 receiving yards & 47 receiving touchdowns in their first 6 seasons. Hopkins is the 2nd-youngest player to 500 receptions & 7,000 receiving yards in NFL history.

The Texans have literally beaten every team they played at the top of the list (all but 3).

Thats a hilarious set of stats....so 3 of the 5 least efficient are playoff teams

A happy Christmas to all of you.

Yes that is sad and all too much like the challenges and heartbreak another x Texans Olineman Charles Spencer went thru many years ago.

Houston has a turnover differential of plus-10 in 2018, which leads the AFC and ranks third in the NFL (Chicago and Seattle). The #Texans have 24 takeaways (13 interceptions, 11 fumble recoveries) while turning the ball over just 14 times (nine interceptions, five fumbles lost)

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Still wondering why our roster still stands at 52 more than 3 days after Sammie Coates' release. I would have thought that if the Texans were comfortable in advancing Webster from his practice phase to active, it would have been done by now.

[BTW, the Cowboys worked out Coates today]

 

[Thorn]

Texans lead the league in offensive sacks allowed. I sure as hope that changes next season, or Watson isn't going to have a long career.

Not Ricky’s?!!

DW4 should shoulder some of that blame as well.

Then Devlin. & Bob McNair.

 

[Thorn]

I don't care who's fault it is, it needs fixing.

From substitute teacher to Texans, DeAndre Carter grateful for his journey
Houston Chronicle Dec. 21, 2018 Updated: Dec. 21, 2018 9:08 p.m.


When the New England Patriots cut DeAndre Carter three years ago, the diminutive wide receiver and return specialist wanted to stay busy and get involved with the community.

Carter took up work as a substitute teacher in Hayward, Calif., giving back to kids while staying available for NFL auditions.

"I was trying to help out and help kids find their way through life in a rough area," he said. "It gave me flexibility if I had to go fly somewhere, and the principal of the school was really good with me in terms of being able to go to work out for teams."

It's crazy how some of us get along so well in some forums, and yet beat each other to death in others. LOL

I actually appreciate this.

Posters that let the NSZ opinions affect their opinions of posters in the football forums are weak-minded people. IMHO

 

[badboy]

As I told Infantrycak years ago during one of our "arguments" we agree on more than we disagree on.

 

[Speedy]

Having missed 7 games, Will Fuller is still the 2nd leading receiver on the team....by a significant margin.

 

[kiwitexansfan]

With the Titans and Colts playing well, there’s still a chance we miss the playoffs right?

 

[AcresHomesTexan]

very small...Ravens and Steeles both have to win out and the Texans have to lose out, along with Titans or colts winning both (now possible)

 

[kiwitexansfan]

That’s mildly reassuring

 

[Carr Bombed]

That sounds like family

..and the dysfunctional families are always the most "entertaining" to be apart of.. lol (especially around the holidays!)
