Playoff leverage for week 9.

 

[mws]

Historically speaking the best month for the Texans under O'Brian is coming up.

September 10\11 .476
October 14\11 .560
November 11\7 .611
December 11\11 .500
January 1\1 .500

Every winning season under O'Brian has had a bye in November. In 2017 (4/12) the bye was in October.

So, if we give in to superstition we should have a winning season this year.

The Texans had a chance to claim Josh Gordon off of waivers after the Patriots released him............but passed

Great. Two offseasons in a row with guys wanting Aaron Donald money. I can't wait.

That's what I'm talking about. Tahell with all these next gen stats & DVOAshish... hogwash. That stuff ain't good for nothing but looking backwards.

We need some superstition. Rubbing rabbit feet, snorting four leaf clovers & hiding horseshoes up your youknowwhat.

Why do the Colts look like world champions when they play the Texans but incredibly average against the rest of the league?

This year at least they had the benefit of coming off a bye, was at home and got injured players back. It was just the perfect situation for them. I don't see the same results next time we play and that's with our injuries

The refs always help them out in Indy.

 

[Bugman7star]

1st place again!

 

[thunderkyss]

Are other teams WRs as oft injured as ours?
We’re doing Nuk as disservice with these dudes. With all the attention he draws you just need to be healthy to catch a fucktonne of balls. We have Batman but no Robin

I don't know why we're stuck thinking we have to have a solid #2 WR to make it work. Hop, Fells, Duke, that's three ways to get you right there. Very few teams are going to be able to stop a Hopkins, a Fells, & a Duke Johnson receiving threat.

We need to find out how to identify & exploit there weakest link to open up the others.

Who is the deep threat between Hopkins, Fells, and Duke? The more play makers we have, the better. Right now we have one WR worth a damn.

I'm not disagreeing with you. New England went years without a deep threat. I'm just saying we have enough weapons that we should be able to force teams out of their Hopkins focus without Fuller.

There's more than one way to skin a cat. Granted, Fells isn't Gronk. Duke isn't Kamara. But...

 

[JB]

What is the name of the guy that used to post all the gameday pics? I've met him numerous times but that was before yesterday and my memory is terrible

Anyway, I have not seen him this year... another stalwart member run off?

Stills is a good deep threat and he helps open things up for all of the underneath stuff, even though he doesn't catch alot of balls.

 

[House of Pain]

With all the talk of being thin at WR, it’s kinda self imposed. Coutee is healthy and in the doghouse. We have more receivers but BOB is all about dat discipline! I don’t know about football or coaching to know if he should be.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Nine games into the season, Hyde and Johnson have combined for 991 yards rushing, the No. 2 combo in the league behind Minnesota’s Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison.

Hyde and Johnson were teammates with the Browns last year before Hyde was traded to Jacksonville.

Maybe not, but Fells leads all NFL TEs with 8 TDs and is on his way to equaling Gronk in that category this season.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Hyde's 160 yd game reminded me of the Arian Foster years.

 

[PapaL]

That Duke TD was amazing. I was hyped on the plane when Duke trucked that dude.

 

[Dishman]

Maybe not, but Fells leads all NFL TEs with 8 TDs and is on his way to equaling Gronk in that category this season.

And isn’t the knock on him that he’s a better blocker than receiver?

 

[Speedy]

Maybe not, but Fells leads all NFL TEs with 6 TDs and is on his way to equaling Gronk in that category this season.

FIFY

 

[thunderkyss]

.... eh.

Foster would have got into the endzone. Twice.

But yeah. I like. I like a lot.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

You are correct, Sir. Thanks for the correction.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

FIFY

Just to show you how I got my "bum" info per Aaron Wilson.

From a Google search, which has not been changed.:

Darren Fells

, scoring one of his two touchdowns against Oakland, leads all NFL tight ends with eight TD receptions

I just went back to the article the above was taken from.............and Wilson changed the number of TDs from the original 8 to 6.

Thanks again for pointing the correct TD number.

It is O'Brien imposed as Coutee
Is not the football player he should be. we have heard of wide receivers running discipline routes, perhaps that is the discipline O'Brien is trying to encourage?

 

[OptimisticTexan]

And isn’t the knock on him that he’s a better blocker than receiver?

.......was.

 

[thunderkyss]

I hate Bill O'Brien. But this shows he is flexible enough to use a player according to his strength & not preconceived notions.

There are many more examples to the contrary, but this is an example that doesn't fit my idea of BO'b.

Division games are always tough …. just the nature of the beast. Those games may as well count twice in the standings.

 

[Corrosion]

If the OB that showed up in London was the guy who showed up every time the Texans played , I wouldn't have a thing to complain about ….

Will the real OB please stand up ?!

The more I review and contemplate on the Jacksonville game Plus knowing the team health will tremendously improve my optimism grows.

Tytus' Triumphant Return

Tytus Howard made his return to the lineup after missing a few games with a knee injury. Boy was he a welcome sight on the right side. The Jaguars came into the game with the third most sacks in football and they got to Watson just a handful times for the sack. Pro Football Focus had him with...

Read that Howard 95% pass blocking and Sharpie has not given up a sack. Good to have them back.

I don't think you have to click on any of them. Just posting a link to tweet auto imports it in visual form. I'm guessing it's the improved functionality of the upgraded board software.

You know I feel like that myself Badboy, but whenever I feel that way I seem to also have these feelings of apprehension.

but don't choose to live expecting ground to fall from under my feet. Also don't recall ever having so many young guys at such important spots. We could be focus ing on depth after round 2 which will make Obrien look better than I had thought.
