View Full Version : Official Texans @ Bears Game Thread, 11/11/2012
This week, the 7-1 Texans travel to Chicago to take on the 7-1 Bears in their second Sunday-nighter of the year. The Texans need to show better focus as they trudged through a 12 point win after coming off their bye over the Bills last Sunday. The team, as of this writing, have "questionable" status on Shaun Cody, Owen Daniels, Kevin Walter and Ben Tate although that could change between now and Sunday.
Da Bears pretty much annihilated the Titans last Sunday in their house 51-20. Chicago's offense ranks 3rd in the league with 29.5 pts/game of which their defense has contributed 8 touchdowns to that average, so far. QB Jay Cutler has thrown 12 TD's and 8 INT's and has a QB rating of 85.3 (18th) but can get hot. The Texan defense will need to keep him uncomfortable if they want to improve their chances of winning.....

With the exception of a strong home-field performance against a basically crippled Ravens team (certainly on D), the Texans really haven't been too impressive at all in their last 4 games.
To me the keys to the game are (1) the Texans' front 7 getting enough pressure on the Bears passing game to slow down the Cutler-Marshal combo,
(2) the Texans' woeful STs going against stellar Bears' ST units led by Kevin Hester, and (3) whether the Texans' rushing-game is able to move the chains against the Bears D ?
No matter how badly I personally may want the Texans to prevail in their second Sunday-night try this season in front of national TV to redeem themselves for the real stinker vs the Packers earlier in Reliant, I just don't see it happening, therefor 21-13, Bears.

That seems to touch on the main points. Has the Bears OL turned a corner in protecting Cutler? I'm not sure.
Can the Texans run the ball on the Bears. Yes, to the left. Maybe no to the right.
I don't think the Texans STs will be giving Hester that many chances given the way they performed last week.
Two other questions: If Daniels is limited, who is going to take attention away from AJ in the passing game? Will weather be a factor? Temps likely in the 40s with strong chance for rain and 15-25 MPH winds.
My recollection of Bears-Broncos games during the Shanahan days are that his WCO struggled against the Bears who have been what they are for quite some time.
After thinking earlier in the season this could be a Texans win, my hunch says Bears take this one, 20-14.

We've got a 3-1 record and a +30 point differential in the last 3 games. If we play that "unimpressively" the rest of the season we finish at 13-3 with home field advantage throughout.
And I don't see how you dismiss the Ravens win. They may have looked crippled against the Texans, but they look pretty good against everyone else. Their offense especially has been very good this year, has few injuries, and was destroyed by our defense. That game was far more about what we did than what they were missing. Ray Lewis would had little effect on Joe Flacco posting the worst QBR in the 5 year history of the stat.
I am pretty sure the Bears game will be decided by things like the 2 points you made, and I am pretty sure the Bears game won't be decided by how "impressive" the Texans looked in the last 4 games.
I think they (Texans) got a punchers chance, here. They could win by 10, they could lose by 10.
Frankly, I think the Bear offense is going to struggle against the Texan defense. Cutler can be explosive in spurts.... but he is not the carve-master that a red hot Aaron Rodgers can be. Now, the Bears defense may score... the Bears special teams may score.... but I don't see the Bears offense running away with the game like the Green Bay offense was able to do.
The Texan offense needs to play clean - no sloppiness, no turnovers. Game total (over/under) is presently at 41 pts and dropping so the public thinks it will be a low scoring affair....
Nconroe

I think it could be a tight fairly low scoring game.
If Texans keep their composure, avoid dumb penalties and turnovers, then they can win.
Go Texans, show everyone you can win the tough games.
And I hope ST has turned the corner to atleast middle of the pack .
Wet and windy, maybe that helps Texans grind it out with their time of possession game.
chuck
11-09-2012, 12:45 PM
Cutler doesn't scare me at all and the Texans' offense is diverse enough to move the ball on any defense. Ideally the Texans will somehow get a lead and force the Bears to throw the ball and reduce Forte's impact. Barring that it will be a matter of turnovers. The team that doesn't make them wins.
barrett
11-09-2012, 03:15 PM
Cutler has been one of the worst QB in the NFL against the blitz this year (league-worst 14 sacks and %52.4 completion). The Texans have blitzed more than any NFL team this year. The bears struggle to score if their defense can't put it in the endzone. We are near the bottom of the NFL in turnovers.
I am definitely concerned about this game, but the matchups actually play out pretty nice for us. I would say (like everyone else who likes to state the obvious), that if we win the turnover battle it will be hard for us to lose this one.

People in Houston are starting to get goofy again with all this talk about Sundays game in ChiTown being the most important game in the Texans history. OK there's a lot of hype surrounding the game, a lot of national attention with two 7-1 teams and the big national TV audience and all, but the simple truth is next weeks game with the lowly Jags in Reliant is clearly a much more important game for the Texans 2012 season.

The game against New England will be "more important" than the Chicago game. Both are important, as is every game in the NFL.
Protect the ball. Don't kick to Hester. This is a week where Schaub's Shitty Throw of the Game (tm) can REALLY hurt us, especially if it's thrown to Charles Tillman.
Just play smart. These two teams are pretty similar, IMO.
Gonna have to watch this game recorded. Uncle's 50th tonight. Argh.

That's sort of why I was lamenting not having Cushing on the field.
We have over 100 yards rushing in the first half. The Bears' leading rusher by far is Jay Cutler. Run the ball, protect the ball and we win. It is that simple.
Now the Bears are without their leading rusher. Wow.

Win or lose, this was the type of game where you throw away the stat sheet and tell your team just to keep everything in front of you and limit the mistakes which is why Houston won.
They didn't let a key turnover beat them and they kept Hester bottled up, forcing the Bears offense to score points to beat them. Once Cutler left the game, it was all about keeping the Bears from scoring a touchdown.
Game balls go to Dobbins and Manning, who were making plays all over the soggy sod.
We kkep our 1-1/2 game lead on Baltimore and two-game lead over New England for the #1 seed and getting the #1 seed means we won't have to play a playoff game in slop like this (just our home sod slop but that's a different rant).
Big question now is how many players will show up on the midweek injury report with "flu-like symptoms" after a game like this.
Good, character-building win.

I was quite sure we were going to win this one but I wasn't quite ready to bust out my pre-game prediction. I'd like to save those for greater challenges.
I should add that only one of those teams is in the AFC.

I love it when I'm wrong about the Texans losing a game, and I was definitely wrong about this game. But had I known it was going to be played during the passage of an Alberta Clipper, I probably would have been even more pessimistic about our guys coming out of Chi-Town with a W. However the great Wade Phillips (and he is a great defensive coach, no doubt about it), and his troops were up to the challenge, again. After all, with our WCO and ZBS the Texans really are a finesse offense, and the environment including field conditions and weather was not in the least bit favorable to their game.
Nconroe
11-12-2012, 08:20 AM
I like how Texans offense and defense played tough in harsh conditions on the road to win a low scoring game.
That was an excellent team win against a very good team playing in their element.
Should help team maturity and confidence going forward.
No fumbles was pretty amazing.
Daniel Manning had a super game.
Dobbins did pretty good as well.
Very happy to be surprised with a W. Didn't exactly have this one pegged as one, so I will take it.
A little puzzling that Kubiak threw the ball as much as they did in the 1st half, as it was obviously not working well. Tough to throw in wet, windy conditions, but both coaches took a while to figure that out. I was a little worried in the 2nd half, as with Cutler out, I assumed they would lean on Forte more (which they did), as that was the blueprint for this game.
On to the Hags. Hopefully, this is a yawner, and we can have alot of substitutions in the 4th Qtr, and get thier feet back under them.
barrett
11-12-2012, 02:10 PM
I love how the announcers decide on their story angles before the game and then just stick with it. Collinsworth would not let drop that the Bears OL was bigger than the Texans front 7 (which is the case with every OL and DL in the NFL). He made about a dozen comments about their effective double teams (and used the telestrator multiple times as well).
Meanwhile, back in reality the Bears RBs ran 19 times for 73 yards as part of a 6 point performance for their offense.
Dobbins was fined $30K for the hit on Cutler.
WOW..... That's a bit steep. Would assume he will appeal, and get it cut in half, as per usual.
