View Full Version : Official Texans vs. Jaguars Game Thread, 11/18/2012
The 8-1 Texans will be host to the 1-8 Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday at Reliant with noon kickoff. The Texans have been pretty good at not taking weaker opponents lightly and this should be a situation where they continue to take-care-of-business. Hopefully, the Texans can jump out to an early lead and begin to rest starters as they will have to turn it around and play Detroit on Thanksgiving just four days later.
It's been all downhill for the Jags since MJD went down with a foot injury and he will be out in Sunday's game against the Texans. At present, S Dwight Lowery, FB Greg Jones and CB Rashean Mathis are all listed as questionable. The Jags are currently on a six game losing streak. The Jags are a young team in search of an identity and should not be underestimated.
TV = CBS (channel 11 local), noon Sunday
Announcers (http://www.the506.com/nflmaps/2012/wk11.html) = Bill Macatee, Steve Tasker
The line (http://www.madduxsports.com/nfl-odds.php) = Texans by 15 to 16.5
I think this is the least excited I am for a game that I can remember...
So, it will probably be a close one. :rolleyes:
The Hags are terrible, and we "should" dominate. I am hopeful that we are in a position in the 4 Qtr. to sit Schaub, Arian, Dre, and Watt.

Jacksonville's defense is not that bad. It's just that it spends too much time on the field because the offense can't stay on the field or move the chains much. That was certainly the storyline in Jacksonville when we played early this season. We are also an easier team to defend if we are short-handed. If there's no Daniels, no Tate, etc. then we will have trouble generating big plays with fewer weapons.
I can understand why everyone wants to look at this like a bye week but the Texans may not win with a lot of style points. They may just win.

I'll be surprised if the Texans' defense doesn't score more points than the Jaguars' offense. And I won't be terribly surprised if that number turns out to be more than the Texans' offense, too.
If there's no Daniels, no Tate, etc. then we will have trouble generating big plays with fewer weapons.
OD is back at practice, Tate practiced yesterday, but was sore and held out today. IMO, OD is a weapon, Tate is a breather/fill in. Forsett can do the same vs. the Jags.
Tate is out again this week.
OD and Cody are game time decisions.
- Per Jabba, Kubiak is optimistic on both.

With Dobbins having a questionable shoulder I wonder if Sharpton gets activated off PUP?
If Sharpton activated I guess someone has to be cut.

Yep. Sharp ton activated, Nolan waived.
Cannot believe the roof is closed today.

Doesn't 527 passing yards match Warren Moon's Oilers record vs KC back in the early 90s? Moon's was not an OT game.
Wonder why Mularky went for it on 4th and 10, from our side of the field. Questionable call, IMO.
But, I'm sure glad he did it.

My guess, OT winding down, defense was tired, he thought offense gave him best chance to win at that time.

Pretty good passing day, and we almost lost.
Had to look this up.
Schaub completed 43 of 55 passes and threw five touchdowns.
His total of 527 yards tied former Oilers quarterback Warren Moon as the second-best in NFL, behind only Norm Van Brocklin's 554 yards for the Los Angeles Rams in 1951.
So Houston has 2 of top 3 passing yardage days in NFL up to now.
And while on records,
Andre Johnson had 14 catches for a career-high 273 yards — the ninth most in NFL history.
Early line: Texans 3 pt favorite over the Lions on Thanksgiving....

Went to the game today and thought there was 3 or 4 times we'd win the game and 3 or 4 times we'd lose the game. Wow was that gruelling !
And my brother from Missouri came down for the game and reminded me after it was announced that Schaub tied Moons second all-time total for passing yards in a game @ 527 that he also saw that game in Arrowhead vs the Chiefs back in the nineties. What are the odds that somebody else in Reliant today could have made that claim ?

Doesn't 527 passing yards match Warren Moon's Oilers record vs KC back in the early 90s? Moon's was not an OT game.
Moon even sat out at the end of the 4th quarter of his game. He choose not to reenter the game to go after the record.
But Moon's game was a blow out in Houston's favor from the start, and Schaub and AJ had to carry the Texans to victory today.

And Moon's steller performance was against an outstanding KC secondary led by the great Albert Lewis & Kevin Ross, named by the NFL Network as one of the ten greatest CB tandems in NFL history. But that performance, outside and on the road against that caliber of defense, was simply at a different level than Schaub's 5 quarter effort yesterday at home in the cozy closed-roof environs of Reliant Stadium.

Thanks. Now that Time Warner Cable finally has the NFL Network and my new job schedule has me missing most of the Sunday action, NFL Replay is one way I can catch up on some games. The Texans were pre-empted in Austin by the Cowboys so I saw the first hour before leaving for work. The tv's at work are rigged so they just get CNN, Headline News, Fox News and the Weather Channel - not even local stations. :mad:
