Official Texans @ Titans Game Thread, 10/23/2011
 

Time for the annual "IT'S THE BIGGEST GAME IN FRANCHISE HISTORY" tag.... :rolleyes:

This is really my true motivation for wanting to see the Texans in the playoffs, so we can stop hearing crap like this in OCTOBER.

Holliday and Keo are in the lineup today..... this should be interesting...

Texans in white jerseys/blue pants ....

Let's do this shit.

I have no doubt in my mind that we can win this game 38-10 if we want to. Let's go do it.

Titans win the toss and defer. Texans to receive.

Holliday downs the kick in the endzone. Texans ball at their 20.

Foster for 1. 2nd and 9 coming up.

Foster for 7. 3rd and 2 coming up.

Foster for -1. Texans will punt on 4th and 3.

Mariani brings the punt back for nice return but block in the back on the Titans places the ball at the Titan 19.

CJ for 2. 2nd and 8 coming up.

CJ for 1. 3rd and 7 coming up.

Deep pass to Avery inc but flag on KJ for PI... 1st down at the Texans 48.

Another deep pass sails over everyone inc. 2nd and 10 coming up.

CJ sweeps left for 2. 3rd and 8 coming up.

Hasselbeck's 3rd down pass sails inc. Titans to punt.

Punt goes into the endzone, touchback. Texans ball at their 20.

The Titans have really made up in their mind that they are going to test our secondary...why not we gave up a 30 yard PI

Kareem Jackson is downright atrocious. Aside from that, our D looked really strong there.

10:42 left in the 1st quarter.

Foster sweeps left for 16. 1st down.

Deep pass to KW goes out of bounds, inc. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Schaub rolls out and throws inc. 3rd and 10 coming up.

Schaub's pass sails over JJ, inc. Texans have to punt.

Mariani brings the punt back to the Titan 45.

9:37 left in the 1st quarter.

Two offensive series...

Both the passing and running game look horrible...

What exactly did they work on in practice this week?

Schaub's accuracy seems way off, wonder if his arm is ok, although it looks strong enough.

KR coverage has not been to good either.

CJ for about 3. 2nd and 7 coming up.

Flea flicker pass to Williams gets knocked loose by JJo, inc. 3rd and 7 coming up.

Pass to Hawkins is dropped. Titans have to punt.

Holliday fair catches at the Texan 8.

8:43 left in the 1st quarter.

Was that a Trindon Holliday sighting?:eek:

I knew he was activated, but I didn't think he would play so soon.

The D is doing a great job. Who knew Joseph could put licks like that/

Offense MUST wake up.

Is it me or has Tate been looking a step quicker than Foster?

Foster for 4. 2nd and 6 coming up.

Pass to JJ gets 7 and the 1st down.

Dump off to Foster gets 6. 2nd and 4 coming up.

End around to JJ loses 5. 3rd and 9 coming up.

I think they're both pretty quick today.

It's nice to have a run game again.

Pass to Washington gets 10 and a 1st down.

Deep pass is INT'ed by Manning at the Texan 13! Texans ball. Manning injured on the play.

10:53 left in the half.

It is beyond me how the defense, which was supposed to be our weak point, is playing SOOOOOO much better than the offense...

Seeing Manning on the cart makes me very sad. :(

@HoustonTexans - Texans S Danieal Manning is questionable to return with a lower left leg injury. #GoTexans

Timeout Texans with 8:07 left in the half.

On 2nd and 9, Schaub's pass to Dreessen goes for the TD!

Texans 10, Titans 0

7:24 left in the half.

Nolan's got to step up... :cool:

Wow...I do believe that that was the first time I have ever seen a play Kubiak called out of a timeout actually be successful.

Finally the Offense takes advantage of the defensive play thus far...

I am curious about our safety play now though....:(

Can't believe this injury luck we have.

Another great first half start. Now we gotta maintain this the rest of the game.

Dump off to CJ gets 6. Titans have to punt.

2 minute warning.

When Schaub went back across the field I knew the receiver would be open. We've seen that same play twice before this year by my count. I expected to see Dreessen or maybe OD. It's funny. I knew the play would work and I knew it would be at the very least a big gain. What I was excited to see was who the play was designed for this time. As the camera panned over I was very surprised to see Arian drifting over preparing to make the catch. I thought, Good, it's Arian rather than Dreessen, maybe he'll get another ten yards out of the thing.

Holliday fair catches the punt at the Titan 47.
