Official Texans @ Titans Game Thread, 10/26/2014
The 3-4 Texans travel to Nashville this Sunday to take on the 2-5 Titans in an early game. The Texans are coming off a 30-23 road loss to the Steelers on MNF while the Titans are coming off a 19-17 road loss to the Redskins. In the Titans last three games, they have said road loss to the Redskins by 2, home win by 2 over the Jags and home loss to the Browns by 1. Goes without saying the Texans could use a W right about now. Will Jadeveon Clowney make his return this week?
TV = FOX (channel 26 local), noon, Sunday Oct 26 Announcers = Kenny Albert, Daryl Johnston, Tony Siragusa The line = Texans by 1 to 2.5 ------------------------------------------------ Late game in the Houston area (and most of the nation): Indianapolis @ Pittsburgh -- Jim Nantz, Phil Simms SNF = Green Bay @ New Orleans MNF = Washington @ Dallas |
@jwyattsports: QB switch: #Titans plan to start QB Zach Mettenberger against the #Texans, sources say http://t.co/qOR55l0EHm
Also saw a report that Cush is out, likely thru the bye week due to knee issue . |

Watt is hell on rookie QBs. If we can serve up Watt and Clowney at Mettenberger, he'll become cheeseburger without relish or mustard.

On the news this morning that Brian Cushings knee is acting up and he will rest atleast this game. Of course we were all observing this problem.

I'll look it up later but I feel quite sure that the team's tight ends have more penalty yards than receiving yards.
|
Ugh... FITZY. So fun to watch.
|
Fitzpatrick is a moron...Lacanfora is tweeting ready for Mallet....he can't do any worse...
|
Just imagine what this offense would be like without Foster. He has carried this team offensively every game so far.

------------------------- Good job by LB Mike Mohamed who led the team with 10 tackles. No turnovers. Captain Obvious says, "Don't turn the ball over and you greatly improve your chances of winning". ------------------------- Big test next week. Philly can be a juggernaut when they get it going..... ------------------------ Pittsburgh currently making the Colts look bad 21-3, early 2nd quarter.... |
Clowney didn't make much of an impact but that will change. Mohamed stepped up in Cushing's absence. It was pretty obvious what the gameplan was with Mettenberger - force into throwing then make him hurry his throws. Worked for most of the game until the Texans turned more into Prevent mode.
Foster chewed up clock and yards and Blue gave him good breathers when needed. It's no surprise that when the Texans win, it's usually because Foster had a good game. Kick return units - UGH. They let TEN get a FG off that first long punt return. K-Mart misplayed a punt that rolled for another 20-30 yards needlessly. Why did we not get one of the backups in at QB when we had the game in hand? Is O'Brien waiting until we lose badly to give them reps? There was a Xavier Su'a-Filo sighting at LG for a good part of the first half but he got beat a couple of times and we went back to Ben Jones in the second half. Overall, still looking at 6-7 wins on the year. |
Early line has the Eagles as a 1 to 2.5 pt favorite over the Texans.... So, given the 3 pts for home field, this line would be Eagles by 7 to 8.5 if the game were held in Philly. IMO, sounds about right....

The only teams with a losing records outside of our division is Washington and Oakland. IMO, that's hardly a easy schedule. |
