[DocBar]

Already in mid-season form for false starts.

 

[Revrat]

False start, #78.......I could have gone the rest of my life not having heard that again.

 

[Dejaview]

Not feeling the love for #78

 

[Bugman7star]

Thomas at LT had a poor series.

 

[TexanBorn51]

got around the left tackle Kedon goes down

 

[Texansballer74]

Thomas got whipped bad on that sack.

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

I get the false start on 78… but i’m not used to see sacks given up by 78 as well.

 

[JB]

Thomas looked terrible there

 

[HouSportsWriter]

78 is gone

 

[theCATALYST]

Time to dial this defense up a tad.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Offense first drive was well called and executed. Fisher was having a tough start at RT. Everyone else’s on the offense delivered.

As for the defense….both drives proved to be a solid bend but don’t break execution. Gave up 2 FG’s, but it’s better than a couple of TD’s.

Offense second drive was okay but shut down when LT, Thomas was left trying to block dust while giving up a nasty sack.

Texans 7 - Vikings 6

 

[Porky]

That’s it for Mills and Ersery. One series too few for both imho.

78 is terrible at LT. same as last year, just costs us less.

 

[HouSportsWriter]

Prayers for moore hate to see it for Vikings

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Rondell Moore's left foot stuck and it hyperextended his knee on that play. ACL certainly a concern

 

[Porky]

Prayers for moore hate to see it for Vikings

Same here. Hope he is okay but doesn’t look good. I don’t want any injury for either team. Really sucks.

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

Jamal Hill’s 4.4 speed shows up on game day. Another developmental LB hit for DeMeco?!

 

[WAJTerminator]

False start, number 78. Giving me flashbacks ironically to the Vikings game Hope we give someone else a chance there if there is anyone left for tackle

Deculus?

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

Keep holding them to FGs!!

Unfortunately if we keep letting them deep into our end of the field they will get TD's

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

Their scrub offense is better than our scrub defense!

 

[theCATALYST]

Huge difference between 2nd and 3rd string D.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Moore, having had a right ACL last Aug, has a 12-15% risk of sustaining a subsequent contralateral ACL. A contralateral ACL is twice as likely as an ipsilateral failure of a previous repair.

 

[JB]

pathetic

 

[WAJTerminator]

Deculus?

Zach Thomas

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

Death by 1000 cuts on that drive.

 

[austins23]

John Harris getting snarky about the Vikings kicking a field goal is the best John Harris moment of all time.

Almost up there with “like smoke through a keyhole”

 

[OptimisticTexan]

That was a time consuming 14 play drive by the Vikings offense.

Texans offense needs to execute a nice drive this go round….it’ll help if the players along the OL allow this to happen.

 

[TexanBorn51]

Zach Thomas

78 is zach Thomas no? I thought you said put someone else

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

He was pressured badly
Fischer got beat like a drum

Was that Fisher or Taylor

 

[Porky]

Vikings offense looks really good. DeMeco won’t be happy with his defense. Unspeakable crimes are being committed against this defense. I’m about to call 911 and report crimes against humanity.

 

[Thorn]

Defense was bad, the announcers even worse.

I don’t need analytics to give me charted pressures. Fisher gave one up on that incomplete pass to Stover in the endzone.

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

Hopefully most of our starters can stay healthy for the most part this season because we don't appear to have much depth in some key positions!.

They went to the 3rd/4th stringers pretty quick today.

 

[WAJTerminator]

WR corps: Noel, X, Higgins aka Iowa St. Package

 

[WAJTerminator]

78 is zach Thomas no? I thought you said put someone else

I was hoping to put someone else in

 

[theCATALYST]

3 false starts in the 1st half......so far

 

[TexanBorn51]

Slovis > X

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Beautiful 3rd and 6 slant completion by Slovis and Hutch!!!!!

 

[austins23]

Wow that was a great third down play there!! Already seeing the difference in OC’s

 

[austins23]

Was that Fisher or Taylor

It was fisher

 

[Dejaview]

Can’t wait to see Mertz. I don’t think there is much to work with with Slovis.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

…..and Fisher is getting beat regularly around RT. Enough so, I’ve already forgotten about Thomas.

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

They went to the 3rd/4th stringers pretty quick today.

What about the Vikings and their 3rd/4th stringers? Doesn't that even things up if they in turn go deep in their bench in the same time frame that we did?

 

[badboy]

Wont be watching at all if any. Nothing to glean from watching a bunch of guys that are likely to be cut.

Wut?

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Texans can try again at the beginning of the 2nd half.

 

[whodknee]

Highlights:
Speed
Ersery
Dare

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

Wow that was a great third down play there!! Already seeing the difference in OC’s

Could that have more to do with the Vikings playing far off the ball and not allowing anything that would lead to quick points?
