Week 8: Texans vs Panthers- Battle of The Rookie Quarterbacks

[Texansballer74]

Slow we need you to get your head out your dairy air and call better plays

 

[KA4Texan]

Expensive lesson for Beck.
Now we see what our team is made of.

Hopefully not mashed taters.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Panthers are up and the Texans are flat. One team is trying to win a gsme for their rookie QB who is taking the brunt of the 0-6 criticism while the other thinks they’re playing an easy win and their rookie QB will win it for them. The results are clear. Texans go to 3-4 today on a lazy effort against a team that’s tired of losing. Hopefully Ryans can make it a teachable moment.

Tad early to be tossing in the towel.

 

[welsh texan]

Our TD drive seems a looong time ago now, need the O to get into rhythm.

 

[disaacks3]

Fortunately, offense can still take a lead with a decent drive here. If they don’t, I fear the wheels might just come off.

 

[Earl34]

It's ridiculous how much money has been invested in Tunsil and Howard and you cannot rely on them to get any push in the running game.

 

[Hervoyel]

Texans don’t get more creative this isn’t just going to be a loss. It’s going to be an ugly loss

 

[Number19]

Another pass knocked down. Stroud not finding the pass lanes.

Schultz completion for first.

 

[leebigeztx]

They need to throw the ball outside more and pick up the tempo

 

[KoolAid Sipper]

Whew...

 

[gwallaia]

It's ridiculous how much money has been invested in Tunsil and Howard and you cannot rely on them to get any push in the running game.

Yeah, these 2 and 3 yard run plays on 1st down get old

 

[welsh texan]

So many positive moments called back by penalty this game.

 

[Hervoyel]

Knucklehead move

 

[Number19]

Mason downfield wipes out a long pass completion.

 

[banned1976]

Texans o-line is still bad.

 

[michaelm]

I'd like to see more designed roll outs for Stroud

 

[OptimisticTexan]

What in the hell was Mason thinking? Did he somehow forget it was a passing play?

 

[Number19]

Nice run for 16 by Pierce. Nice spin move.

 

[Earl34]

Good run by Pierce

 

[JCTexan]

Nice spin move and run by Pierce!

 

[MEGA SWATT]

Hells yeah Pierce!

 

[Number19]

Ball tipped. Catch is good.

 

[Number19]

Singletary nice move to bounce outside.

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

This is a must win game because winning it means there will be more must win games in the future. And must win games are so much more fun that who cares games.

No, it's been a running joke since...the last trap game. All games should be considered trap games from here on.

When our guys lose to the hapless Panthers don't have too much fun at my expense.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Pass it on first down and goal…..Panthers will be looking run.

 

[welsh texan]

Here we go, first and goal, lovely drive, big chance for momentum swing here!

 

[TexansFan15]

Nice series here!

 

[MEGA SWATT]

I WANT PAYDIRT

NO FIELD GOALS

 

[Texansballer74]

There you go Slow

 

[Number19]

First down.I thought it was inches short.

Singletary down to the 1.

 

[Hervoyel]

Singletary should be getting the lion’s share of the carries IMO. Make Pierce “get it” completely before he gets to be the feature back… and then make him sit a little more to piss him off so he really tries to prove his point when he does win the job

 

[leebigeztx]

I like Becht, but when he's on the field, you're taking away an explosive player and telling the defense they only have to defend 3 guys

 

[Number19]

Pierce short. 4th down and a foot.

Stroud sneaks. TD.

 

[Hervoyel]

And that tepid as hell run right into a pile is why Pierce ain’t ready.

 

[DocBar]

Good play call on the QB sneak.

 

[JCTexan]

TOUCHDOWN STROUD!!

 

[OptimisticTexan]

TD Stroud!!!! Nice sneak.

 

[MEGA SWATT]

 

[Texansballer74]

Touchdown baby !!

 

[Number19]

Going for 2. Incomplete pass.

 

[welsh texan]

We have the lead, D’s turn to show up big now.

 

[Texansphan]

Nice reply.
Looks like we got some fighters.

 

[KoolAid Sipper]

Not liking that play call on the 2-pt try.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Just a poor showing by the OL on that 2 point attempt.

 

[disaacks3]

Not liking that play call on the 2-pt try.

Thought the call was OK, but blocking sucked.

 

[leebigeztx]

Where is the fade to Nico, Hutchinson, or Brown?

 

[Hervoyel]

Going for 2. Incomplete pass.

Pointless decision to do that. trying to play to hold a 3 point lead when your defense is as spotty as ours is makes no sense.

 

[santo]

Where is the fade to Nico, Hutchinson, or Brown?

Even a naked bootleg would have probably been better.

 

[leebigeztx]

Another pass knocked down. Stroud not finding the pass lanes.

Schultz completion for first.

Teams are clouding the middle of the field. The ball needs to go outside more.

 

[Bugman7star]

Goal line offense needs to be improved. Playcalling, execution, all of it. Should not be that hard. We have to be able to consistently convert those without having to make a 4th and goal decision.
