Official Texans vs. Steelers Thread, 9/07/2008

Matt Schaub is pissing me off.

[Big Texas]

Shaub just gets rattled really easily.

[HPF Bob]

Well, at least we dinged up their quarterback.

[Big Texas]

If I were to take a guess at which game would be 21-3 at the half I would've picked NE and KC.

[Nconroe]

yuk, what a half. Mario and Diles looked ok on defense. We gotta do something to get Pittsburg from bringing everyone on pressure.

[Big Texas]

We know what to do. Everyone knows the best way to beat an aggressive defense is with the screen and quick passes.

But screens to Slaton, not Ahman.

[barrett]

That should have been far worse than 21-3. They are very lucky they are in the game (relatively).

Mario was great. The run defense was solid. Everything else was awful. I hope we see the offense get untracked and make a game of it in the 2nd half.

[Arky]

Halftime:

Steelers 21, Texans 3

Some dumb throws by Schaub. Defense is lookin' kinda clueless at times..

They gotta figure out a way to beat the blitz to get the pressure off of Schaub. It wouldn't hurt to chunk a deep ball even if it is incomplete just for show...

Rushing 10 times/25 yds.

Passing, Schaub = 12-17-2 for 80 yds.

82 total yards offense (counting sacks?)...

Mario looked more than okay. He's the only one playing.

[HPF Bob]

So, I guess we can expect CBS to t-bag the Patriots even more than they already do now that the CBS Scene sports bar is located next to the Patriots' stadium. Looks like AFC fans can expect the same crappy coverage you've come to expect from SeeBS for many years to come since they are now financially tied to the fortunes of the Patriots.

[Mike]

Let's keep hitting Ben. he was gimpy towards the end of the half. Let's make this a game. I am tired of ruinging my Sunday. Get Ben out and we can tee off on Gary Coleman.

[HPF Bob]

Oh boy! Maybe we get Leftwich for the second half.

[popanot]

Nice. 3 running plays to open the 2nd half at 9yds per carry.

[HPF Bob]

Now *that* is smash mouth. Three straight running plays for 7-8 yards each.

[TheMatrix31]

I envy the Steelers.

[Arky]

Pittsburgh run game unstoppable.

Steelers 28, Texans 3

[popanot]

Texans = pu$$ie$

[Big Texas]

I refuse to believe that there run game is THAT great. Please dont get me wrong. I think that have one of the best. But 3 Rushing TD's in 2 1/2 qtr. We are seriously getting out coached. I have watched Okoye and Mario consistently get into the back field but on the wrong side of the ball.

[Big Texas]

So I guess now that we are getting the Sh!@$t kicked outta us. We are going try to launch the football. Expect Shaub to be sacked at least 2-3 more times.

[popanot]

Gee, I think I'll go ahead and take the rest of my defensive driving course now. Thanks for totally f'ing up opening day, Texans. Hopefully the Steelers will put in their second string, although, I doubt it will make much of a difference.
