View Full Version : Official Texans @ Eagles Game Thread, 12/2/2010
Short preparation time for the 5-6 Texans this week as they travel to Philadelphia to take on the 7-4 Eagles on Thursday night. Eagles are coming off a 31-26 loss to the Bears in Chicago and looked a bit mortal in doing so - not like the team that had recently rolled over the Redskins and Giants. For the Texans - has their defense finally woken up? Or was their Sunday shutout over the Titans with a 3rd string QB fool's gold? Was holding Chris Johnson to 5 yds rushing fool's gold? We will find out Thursday when they go against the multi-skilled Michael Vick and his many weapons....
TV = NFLN Thursday, 7:20 pm CST
Announcers = Papa, Theisman, Millen
Opening line = Eagles by 7
Current line (http://www.madduxsports.com/nfl-odds.php) = Eagles by 7.5-9.5
Set your DVR's.
Announcers = Papa, Theisman, Millen
:eek:
3.5 hours of hell listening these guys.....

Glad I have to work. This game will be ugly. Announcing and scoring.
I will just let my DVR tape it, and if I like the way it went, I will watch it, otherwise I just erase it. Kubiak better get these guys ready cause they are going to need everthing they can do to beat the Iggles and MV.

ok, a little optimism, Philly has lost to both Titans and Washington, so they are not invinceable. Although Vic does have himself and other speed weapons on offense. And they have some good DE's.
So, our guys might just win again, if DL is really back and DB's are a little more confident and consistent now. Could be Texans 28 to Philly 27.

This game will be much closer than everyone thinks.
Well, if the Texans can somehow pull a rabbit out of their butt on Thursday, Sunday will have some games of interests (http://the506.com/sports/?tag=2010-week-13) in Houston and most of Texas:
12:00 noon, CBS, Jacksonville vs. Tennessee (Gus Johnson, Steve Tasker)

How sweet is it that we've had to wait only until Thursday to see our guys take the field again?
How sweet is it that we've had to wait only until Thursday to see our guys take the field again?
I'll tell you in about 5 hours.....;)
HOU inactives: QB Matt Leinart, WR Dorin Dickerson, LB Xavier Adibi, G Kasey Studdard, DE Jesse Nading, TE Owen Daniels, TE Hill, G Smith (Shelley not Wade).
Eagles inactives: Cooper, Samuel, Hughes, Howard, Parker, Wells, Mills and Kafka
Heard an interesting stat a while ago on the radio:
Mike Vick = 0-4 when the temp is under 40º
Houston Texans = 5-0 when the temp is under 40º

Vick led the Falcons to a playoff win at Green Bay in sub-zero conditions a few years ago. I was impressed because the Falcons were a dome team from the South and somebody with the NFL made the genius decision of scheduling a January Lambeau game at night, hoping I'm sure, for the Ice Bowl revisited. Anyway, the stat is bogus. Besides, most of those Texans wins in the cold came when David Carr was the quarterback.
On a better note, Assante Samuel is inactive so the Eagles will be without their best corner.

True on the Green Bay game..... John Lopez on 610 mentioned it - guess he missed one... ND Kalu chimed in about beating Atlanta once in the playoffs in Philly.... I will say, whatever the record actually is, Vick is not noted as a cold weather QB....
As to the Texans cold weather wins I can remember these:
1. Crazy Pittsburgh game where the Texans only had something like 50 yds total offense and won.
2. A win in Chicago
3. Nice win a couple of years ago in Green Bay
Can't remember the other two... Cleveland? Buffalo?

Already the speed mismatch between the two units is evident. The Texans are tackling like they'd prefer to keep their hands in their pants to keep warm.

Vick pressured, chunks it away.
Hall takes it to the 1. Makes it 3rd and goal from the 1.

About the only good thing to take away from that drive is that the d-line got close to Vick a couple of times.
Close. Horseshoes. Hand grenades.
chuck
12-02-2010, 07:43 PM
Bernard Pollard is a joke in coverage.
Mario and Amobi spent a lot of that drive on the sidelines. I don't know what to make of that other than their conditioning might be better.
Slaton brings the return out past the 30! Of course he started at about the 20...
7:56 left in the 1st quarter.

Neil "Off The" Rackers salvages three points.
Very first Texan play - that screen to Foster (that he dropped) was set up nice. They gotta go back to that one, right?
Joshua
12-02-2010, 07:53 PM
Come on, D, let's go.
My hopes for the D went out the window during pregame when they showed Okoye playing the Ray Lewis role and leading the unit in the chant/jump up and down in unison to get pumped up to play. If the best we got for a leader to pump up the troops before kickoff is Okoye, we're screwed.
Eagles bring the kickoff back to their 28. 4:55 left in the 1st.
McCoy gets 12. 1st down.
Fumble!!!. Eagles recover. Brings up 2nd and 11.

In reference to Mario sucking on the national screen...
Joe Theisman says, "that's lousy defensive end play" as Mario "single teamed" Williams watches the RB blow past him.

I would love to be the Eagles' OC right about now. There is virtually no play on your laminated sheet that will not work against this disgrace of a defense.
Pass to McCoy at the sideline goes for 2. 2nd and goal from the 5.
McCoy runs it in for the TD.

That was just laughably bad. WTF is Okoye doing standing in the end zone doing nothing as the RB scores? Where are the LBs? Where are the safeties?
chuck
12-02-2010, 08:07 PM
This is going to be like that Sunday night game in Seattle years ago when they ran for more than 500 yards on the Texans. This is going to be a humiliating ass whipping that shows this team for poorly led joke that it surely is.

They're saving their strength so they can get ass-raped by the Ravens in about ten days.

Maybe when Gibbs gets fired, we can hire Okoye as our DB coach. His backpeddle is flawless.

So far, the best tackler for the Texans is called "sideline".
12:51 left in the half.
Big gainer to Maclin - wide open for 34 yards.
Timeout Eagles.

I can't believe I did this but I arranged my travel schedule so I will miss that game. When this shit franchise began ten years ago if you'd told me I would deliberately skip out on a MNF game I would have told you you were crazy. Of course, if you had told me the incompetence that would be the hallmark of the franchise I would have told you you were crazy, too.
These stupid assholes can't find an open man when the Eagles blitz like nine guys. Then Matt Turk shits the bed, again. Then right out of a time out Macklin is so open that the only guy in view was Bentley who was about ten yards behind him.
Ball at the Texan 35.
Vick sacked by Pollard -1. 2nd and 11 coming up.
Pass to Maclin good for 12. 1st down.
Harrison TFL by Pollard -1.

The Heat have opened up a big lead on the Cadavers but then that was to be expected. LeBron is baiting the fans during the timeout. This could get ugly in more ways than one.
Slaton downs the ball in the endzone. Texans ball at the 20.
Foster for maybe 1. 2nd and 9 coming up.
Foster for about 1. 3rd and 8 coming up.

LeBron needs to play basketball and STFU.
Quinn is absolutely horrible. Jackson literally ran right past him on that last play and was five yards behind him ten yards past the LOS. I don't know how you can field a player who is that bad.
Big Texas
12-02-2010, 08:27 PM
Its a crying shame that we wont ever get to know AJohnson's true potential. He has been this great with horrible coordinators.
Shaub, Foster, and Johnson should be a three headed monster that no one wants to deal with. Instead we are an offense who can only score when the other team is winning by 21 points.
Foster for about 5. 2nd and 5 coming up.
Foster for 6. 1st down.

I've always been amazed what AJ even when Carr was QB.
Finally some signs of life in offense.
Joshua
12-02-2010, 08:31 PM
Schaub has a lot of good qualities but arm strength sure ain't one of them. That's about the 6 or 8th time this year that a receiver has not only had to slow down but essentially stop and wait on the ball and turned what should have been a TD into just a decent completion.
HPF Bob
12-02-2010, 08:33 PM
If we can get a stop, we still might have a chance. We get the ball to start the second half. Big IF though.

The Texans are wasting the best WR and the best RB in the NFL. That makes me sick.
JJ tackled at the 11 on the punt.
Pass to AJ goes for 10.
Pass to JJ goes for 12. Game over.
Final Score:
Eagles 34, Texans 24
Hello 5-7, old friend.... :rolleyes:
Shame, we coulda beat these guys...

I wouldn't have thought it was possible for all of last year's offense to return and basically be healthy, then you add a RB and become one of the best short yardage teams in the NFL, and you are 5-7.
A true testament to finding ways to lose, terrible defense, and organizational mismanagement.

Well, it's 2010 and we're in last place in our division once again.
The only improvement we've clearly made since Dom Capers is sack reduction and we actually have a running game.
Next coach and staff please. Okay, just a new D coordinator

Another losing season for a loser franchise. The Texans are in the same company as the Lions and the Bills and the Browns. They are a shit franchise with shit leadership and that includes shit ownership. I can't see anything that that complacent blowhard McNair could possibly do to retain my loyalty to the team.

You add a RB that you had all last year but refused to play. The management of this team is unreal. It is incredible that this is considered a professional team.

I knew we werent going to the playoffs so Im not really that disappointed. I liked our effort on the road against a very good team though. We will be playing for pride in these remaining games so hopefully they give us something to look forward to. Bush will be gone for sure after the season. It really sucks to have the leading rusher in the league, the best WR in the league and a Pro Bowl QB but yet our defense is what's keeping us out of the dance. I hope this is finally a reason enough to not keep hiring in house coaches for defensive coordinators. This offseason Kubiak and Smith have to go look for the big names.

Gobs and gobs of teams with a superior offense but a terrible defense routinely end their seasons with losing records. Nothing at all unusual about that result with that combination.
Kudos to the Eagles for covering the spread, but they just barely did so. The Texans actually did better than I thought they would, but then most of us have known their season has been over for some time now so the expectations are modest at this point.

Then stop rooting for them and stop posting. Find someone else to follow.
......makes me ****************ing sick that we're just a few plays from leading the division or making the playoffs YET AGAIN. If we're gonna suck, let's SUCK. Enough of this Mickey Mouse stuff man.
The offense does have major issues. It's had issues since Owen Daniels went down last year.

How the hell do you know what I have or haven't committed financially to the team? If I actually LIVED in Houston, I'd be a season ticket holder too.
Maybe you shouldn't renew your tickets for next year.
Besides, it's not like having season tickets makes you more of a fan. What kind of bullshit is that.

I don't live in Houston, dude. I don't even live in the United States. I maintain an apartment in Houston both to have a place to stay when I come in for various holidays and when I come in for football games. So not only do I spend money on this shit franchise (and following your advice I will almost certainly not renew next year) I spend tens of thousands of dollars every year just freaking getting here to watch this team get smoked by shit teams from all over the league. So, yeah, I have more skin in the game than the average dumbass who just watches the games on TV.
In sum, I am plainly a far greater dumbass than the average.

Is this guy ever going to get banned? I mean, I remember when I first started here I got a warning message from Keith just for posting my comments in bold and yet this guy keeps getting personal with the name calling and no one seems to notice but me. Are there even ppl moderating on these boards?

Their handling of Foster is not one of the many things you can knock this team for. They put more into him and believed more in him that 31 other NFL teams, so I am fine with it taking until game 15 last year for an undrafted rookie to win a starting job. He is a clear success story for the front office and coaching staff.
And hopefully he is one of the solid pieces that are put to great use by a new staff next year. Maybe then he won't be buried in the 4th quarter of a close game like he was last night and has been previously.

And I love how Chuck goes to the "financial committment" card at least once a year to show how great a fan he is. I wonder if he defines how much he loves his kids by how many presents are under the tree or if it's only in sports that "real" means spending money.

I thought it was time to drag that out again seeing as I hadn't made that assertion in at least a year. I did it mainly for you because I knew you would enjoy it particularly.
And cadams if you pm me your email address I'll be happy to send you a couple of scanned pages from my passport to give you an idea of how many trips I make. I am 100% serious that I live abroad and come back for games. And I don't claim that this makes me a better fan. I claim two things, one, I spend more money than the average fan (and by extension that might explain some of my periodic outrage) and two, I am an idiot.

i do appreciate it chuck. I feel like your random "financial committment" comments to be very helpful in helping me mark the seasons, especially since our houston trees don't change colors.
I can always count on a complaint about the lack of scoreboards or something similar to let me know the Texans season is dead and they have officially wasted another year of my time.
I would never begrudge anyone their coping technique. And yours at least seems healthier than the guy last week who put a whole in his wall.

Well, maybe, up to the point where I cross the line and become verbally abusive to other board members. I've apologized privately to the member in question and I'll apologize to everyone now. There is a clear difference between one's venting one's frustrations regarding the team's performance and lashing out at a fellow board member for no real reason. I'm guilty of the latter and I apologize. One reason I participate here and on no other Texans board is because the quality of the conversation here is generally quite high, and I recognize that a descent into uncivil exchanges is a fantastic way to damage that.
And if I finally follow through on my threat not to renew my tickets I won't have that financial ax to grind next year so you'll have to find another Swallows of Capistrano to let you know it's late fall.

Well, clearly it is at least as healthy as my method, taking sarcastic potshots across all active threads.
I willl simply have to focus the rest of my hate for the season on Kubiak. I like the guy but hate the coach. So here's to us losing the rest of our games to make sure Bob McNair doesn't decide to leave well enough alone.

Reminds me of a time I was in a prayer group with a young pastor, a dentist with a thriving practice and a few other men. When it came time for prayer requests the dentist once spoke up "I'd like you to pray about my financial situation." and the pastor interjected "that we might all have it?" ;)
