Default Official Texans @ Jaguars Game Thread, 12/6/2009

The 5-6 Texans head off to Jacksonville this Sunday to play the Jaguars. The bad news for the Texans is that they are on a 3 game losing streak.... The good news is that the Kubiak regime is 10-5 in December (4-1 in 2008). The Texans are 2-4 in games decided by a touchdown or less.

The 6-5 Jags themselves have had a bit of an up and down year and play their best when at home. They are 5-1 in games decided by a touchdown or less.

Oddsmakers currently have the game tottering as a "pick'em".

The announcers will be ItB favorites Gus Johnson and Steve Tasker.

CBS @ noon Sunday

All we gotta do this week is the team gets their head on right, doesn't make the dumb inexcusable idiotic penalties and dumb poor read turnovers, and figures out how to play on every play four quarters, we should have a good shot at a win. or else. I still think they can make it atleast to 9-7 and play for 10-6 against NE, then we'll see.

I think it may be. I can remember that Tasker has seen some pretty lousy Texan performances in the past before. I'm not sure if he was paired with Gus Johnson at the time or not...

Johnson/Tasker is like the bottom rung for CBS. There have been some weekends this year when they didn't even work - not enough games to go round.

But Gus can be very entertaining sometimes and though I didn't like Tasker too much at first, he's kind of grown on me....

Since they get the Texans a lot, I like that they are, at least, familiar with the team...

The good news about this game is that we have 3 road wins this year.... We suck at home.

I don't actively follow the odds, but this line is interesting. The Texans are going on the road to play an opponent with (1) a better W-L record and (2) a road victory against the Texans already this season.

Vegas seems to have some confidence in the Texans. Also, tarps don't wager, so maybe that's a factor, too.

Shocker, the game will be blacked out in J-Ville. There is no home field advantage so even if the few Hags fans that have their own teeth actually try to make noise, it should not be an issue for the offense.

I might try to get a cheap last minute ticket and fly out to support the guys.

The CBS JV crew will probably not have a ton of cameras, making challenges interesting.

i think the nfl rules require them to have the same number of cameras at every game, though i could be wrong

From the chron:

Texans' Slaton expected to miss game with arm

Quote:
Texans running back Steve Slaton is expected to miss Sunday's game against Jacksonville because of numbness in his arms.

The numbness is a result of a previously undisclosed shoulder injury. Coach Gary Kubiak did not completely rule out Slaton, but the fact he did not practice Friday makes it unlikely he will play.

"It's something he has been dealing with for awhile but it's gotten worse in the last 24 hours," Kubiak said.

Left tackle Duane Brown, who suffered a knee injury against the Colts, went through practice and is expected to play.

I want to be optimistic but I think we go out in a blaze of glory.

In other words, we lose the same way we been losing. Putting up statistics and still coming away with an L.

Jacoby Jones missed the flight. not a good behavior at all. He's a contributor, but no excuse. What I heard, from Jacoby's side, he was late for preflight meeting by 10 minutes due to ice on the bridges , but Kubiak was upset, or wanted to send a message that need to be there, and told him to go home. not that he missed the flight.

One of the things to win this game is we need to stop MJD running with our defense.

And, with Slayton out, perhaps Chris Bown and Moats need to have a good running day for our side.

No turnovers by anybody, or atleast not on our side of 50 yard line would for sure help a bunch.

Be nice to see less dumb penalties. Maybe coach needs to sit guys for a while if they do one of those dumb penalties.

Don't forget to set your DVRs.....

Dang, JJ needs to leave the house earlier....

In other NFL games, I'm not sure who I want to lose more in Colts vs. Titans....
