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

Actually, Duane Brown, that's a good facemask. You got blown backwards by a linebacker, the least you can do is grab his facemask to protect your quarterback. Good job!

[Big Texas]

horrible playcalling. AJ just caught a pass near the sideline and we throw another to him. What are we doing. Is this a two minute drill or something. Why are we throwing outs. Lets get downfield. Even if it is incomplete. At least let them know that we are considering leaving this game with more than 3 points. Or are we still trying to run "THE OFFENSE".

Great play DBrown

[Arky]

Jeez, you can drive a semi through some of those running lanes...

Texans get all confused with the pass.

Steelers 35, Texans 3

[Big Texas]

Passing: 2 int.
Rushing: 11 carries 25 yds.
Recieving: AJ 4 catches 50 yds.
O-Line: 2 Sacks
D-Line: 2 Sacks
LB: No turnovers (Gave up 3 Rushing TD)
DB: Big Ben 12/13 121 TD

Dominated on all aspects of the game. We look like 0-16 this year.

[HPF Bob]

Okay, now I can switch to the Astros...

No, the rest of the NFL is not this good.

Wow, so is Hurricane Ike going to be here in time for the home opener?

They dont have to be. We just kill ourselves. We have found here that we have no one on our roster (including coaching staff) who can "rally the troops". After going down early and a blown 4th down call. We imploded. Are we really as bad as 35-3. But we are losing 35-3. All our plays look the same. The most emotion I seen all game was when they lost the 4th down call.

So much for wishful thinking. Yeah, yeah, yeah... we lack talent. That always seems to the case, doesn't it? We also lack a decent DC. Either that or we lack a decent HC and GM who either can't get the right talent or hangs onto to coaches who are obviously in over their head. I know it's early, but if the wheels come off this season, I'm not so sure Kubiak will (or should) survive.

The Steelers are everything we're not. Tough, intimidating. Don't miss tackles. Win the battles in the trenches.

Is it just me or does it seem like opposing QBs complete at least 80 percent of their passes every week?

Fred Bennett is making me long for Petey.

I know it's a little early, but I'm worried about Schaub. He seems easily rattled and he got up very slow on both sacks. Neither looked particularly bad and every QB in the league is going to be hit like that every week. If those sorts of hits either rattle or injure him, he's not tough enough to play in this league.

We can't tackle at all.

Ahman Green has lasted more than 2 plays??? Hey, I'm grasping at straws here...

[Big Texas]

Good news the jags have 14 carries for 27 yds too. But they are not losing 35-3.

[Mike]

There is NO excuse for the horrible tacking. Even with the bad spot on the opening series that turned the ball back to Pitt, that does not even matter at this point.

Plain and simple, they kicked our a$$ up and down the field. I am so disgusted. No sports talk radio for me. I'll listen to Rush, Hannity and anything else (except for country music).

Get Ahman out of there. No sense in playing him. Get Taylor on the field.

Wow. Color me impressed with the Steelers.

[Joshua]

I've seen no improvement in the areas of concern. No pass rush except for Mario. Secondary being picked apart. Run game sucks. Losing the turnover battle. Fragile QB.

[Big Texas]

I guess we lost this one in the first quarter. When we lost our enthusiasm.

[popanot]

As pathetic as this team is today, Gary Coleman still can't embarrass them.

I dont think it was the play or the call that comes into play here, but rather the Texans reaction and response to it. They went down hill from there, FAST.

[Big Texas]

More good news. We are not the only ones getting a mud hole stumped in us. 31-0 Phi/St. Louis
