Week 2 Gameday Thread: Bring on 'Da Bears!

[welsh texan]

16-10 at the half.

 

[Speedy]

Ka’iminoeauloameka’ikeokekumupa’a is ****ing money!!!

 

[Hervoyel]

16-10 will do but this half should have ended 17-3. Texans did it to themselves.

 

[DocBar]

Hopefully Fisher is better that Tunsil after he takes over in a year or two.

 

[KA4Texan]

Always hate settling for 3 this is one if those rare exceptions.

 

[Texansphan]

Well it is a mixed bag but our offense is supposed to do more than 13 points in a half against supposedly inferior teams.

Bears have a good defense dude. See last week against the Titans

 

[MEGA SWATT]

59 yarder

 

[whodknee]

Ka’iminoeauloameka’ikeokekumupa’a is ****ing money!!!

That’s easy for you to say

 

[Thorn]

Stroud and Nico are gonna have a hellacious highlight reel this season if they keep those magical sideline passes going.

 

[DocBar]

If the Texans win, the rest of the AFC South loses, and the Cowboys lose? I'd be 1 game short of my perfect weekend. The Steelers won today.

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

I hope our guys see footage during half time of the Vikings beating the 49ers. That should see to it they stay mentally focused and play their best football.

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

Great job by Tunsil giving Kaimi an opportunity to showcase that leg on the national stage for pro bowl voters.

 

[DocBar]

Always hate settling for 3 this is one if those rare exceptions.

Stroud isn't stout. Unless a TD wins the game, I'm ok with FGs over punts. I'd prefer TDs, but the Texans need Stroud healthy and not taking big shots.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Stroud has more passing yds in the 1st half than Watson had the whole game.

 

[DocBar]

Ka’iminoeauloameka’ikeokekumupa’a is ****ing money!!!

What? Is this Welsh?

 

[Carr Bombed]

Stroud has more passing yds in the 1st half than Watson had the whole game.

And probably more passing yards than Bryce Young has had all season

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Bears get the ball first coming out after halftime. I truly hope Ryans tears the defensive backs a new arsehole in the locker room so they’re ready for the 2nd half. Tunsil should get a special arse chewing in private.

 

[Bugman7star]

Defense needs to make a big statement coming out of the half. Big stop or turnover please!

 

[steelbtexan]

Hopefully Fisher is better that Tunsil after he takes over in a year or two.

Did that false start cost the Texans any points?

 

[DocBar]

It seems that Texans are content with letting Williams beat them if he can. I'm concerned about Sting. He seems slow tonight. Wondering if the chronic part of the lis franc injury is showing up. He was pretty active in TC.

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

I would call the Bears and inferior team, but the problem certainly isn’t on the defensive side for them. They’re very respectable defense.

Too many long drives where settle for FG's takes a toll on momentum a lot of times. I know that's not always the case but it can't become commonplace.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

What the hail kind of socks is Matty Ice wearing with his dark blue suit? Looks like some kind of white hosiery.

 

[BullRushTX]

Great job by Tunsil giving Kaimi an opportunity to showcase that leg on the national stage for pro bowl voters.

Helluva teammate!

I’m sure he did because when he was interviewed before going to the locker room. He said they need to get more pressure and stop giving up the long passes for first downs. Paraphrasing

 

[BullRushTX]

Pretty sure he's sockless. It just ain't right

 

[DanielTx]

16 points at half isn’t too bad. I expect us to pick up our offense. Bears defense is considered good/elite? Texans will reach 30 points

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

Bears have a good defense dude. See last week against the Titans

The Titans have an average Qb and nowhere near the weapons we have.

 

[Porky]

That catch by Nico, just wow. It was super close, but felt he showed enough control.

Tunsil doing his usual part,and Fairbairn…man is a freaking beast. He’s become a top 5 kicker in the NFL. Major flowers to that man.

 

[Texansballer74]

Did that false start cost the Texans any points?

Could’ve. Fair had a to kick a 59 yarder versus something closer.

 

[steelbtexan]

Could’ve. Fair had a to kick a 59 yarder versus something closer.

So the answer is no.

 

[DocBar]

Did that false start cost the Texans any points?

Does it matter? It cost the Texans yards, so no, it didn't directly cost the Texans points but you can't quantify that because it changed the Texans play call on the next play. If he hadn't committed the penalty the Texans might've scored. He screwed up the might've been.

 

[Porky]

16 points at half isn’t too bad. I expect us to pick up our offense. Bears defense is considered good/elite? Texans will reach 30 points

Bears have a great defense. They were off on the run game last week, but they were awesome against the run last year, and their secondary is among the best in the league. I don’t get the inferior team comments. they are damn good.

 

[DocBar]

Too many long drives where settle for FG's takes a toll on momentum a lot of times. I know that's not always the case but it can't become commonplace.

It keeps the opposing team around and gives them hope.

 

[Texansballer74]

So the answer is no.

Dude Tunsil doesn’t need your protection. Every player is getting called out for bad plays. Tunsil isn’t no different


Way to get off the field defense

 

[steelbtexan]

The Titans have an average Qb and nowhere near the weapons we have.

Which is why the Texans are on pace to put up 30 points.

 

[Bugman7star]

3 and out works. Offense just needs to be clean and methodical. Just move the ball down the field and set up for a big play.

 

[xtruroyaltyx]

Kamari has gotten pretty lucky on some would be big plays these past two weeks....

It's ok to get beat sometimes though so I'm not super worried, but just don't want to see it become habitual.

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

Airmail by Williams. Lets make them pay for that 3 and out!

 

[Carr Bombed]

So the answer is no.

A wise coach once said, don't ignore what happens in a win that you wouldn't in a defeat..

Tunsil can do better in the FS department.

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

Lassiter lucked out. Last week we were burned when receivers got that open,

 

[Texansphan]

The Titans have an average Qb and nowhere near the weapons we have.

Still their D won the game for them

 

[DocBar]

I'd run the same play on the first play of the 2nd game against Indy last year. Bomb to Nico for the TD.

 

[Texansphan]

Lassiter with a couple nice plays tonight

 

[santo]

Pretty sure he's sockless. It just ain't right

Or those new socks that just cover the bottom of the foot.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Pretty sure he's sockless. It just ain't right

My goodness…..Matty needs to get some sun so he can darken up his cadaver white tint.

 

[DocBar]

Which is why the Texans are on pace to put up 30 points.

They could've potentially be on pace to put up 37 if Tunsil could hold his water.

 

[steelbtexan]

Does it matter? It cost the Texans yards, so no, it didn't directly cost the Texans points but you can't quantify that because it changed the Texans play call on the next play. If he hadn't committed the penalty the Texans might've scored. He screwed up the might've been.

Exactly how were they going to score with 9 seconds and no timeouts? Bottom line is it didn't hurt a thing and in fact if he's going to get a false star that was the perfect time to get it.

 

[DocBar]

Which is why the Texans are on pace to put up 30 points.

Penalties don't happen in a vacuum. They affect both teams.

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

So much for our running game.

 

[Carr Bombed]

They should get Akers involved more in the passing/screen game.
