Official Texans vs. Jaguars Game Thread, 11/18/2012

[HPF Bob]

Jacksonville's defense is not that bad. It's just that it spends too much time on the field because the offense can't stay on the field or move the chains much. That was certainly the storyline in Jacksonville when we played early this season. We are also an easier team to defend if we are short-handed. If there's no Daniels, no Tate, etc. then we will have trouble generating big plays with fewer weapons.

I can understand why everyone wants to look at this like a bye week but the Texans may not win with a lot of style points. They may just win.

I'll be surprised if the Texans' defense doesn't score more points than the Jaguars' offense. And I won't be terribly surprised if that number turns out to be more than the Texans' offense, too.

OD is back at practice, Tate practiced yesterday, but was sore and held out today. IMO, OD is a weapon, Tate is a breather/fill in. Forsett can do the same vs. the Jags.

Tate is out again this week.

OD and Cody are game time decisions.
- Per Jabba, Kubiak is optimistic on both.

With Dobbins having a questionable shoulder I wonder if Sharpton gets activated off PUP?

If Sharpton activated I guess someone has to be cut.

Yep. Sharp ton activated, Nolan waived.

Cannot believe the roof is closed today.

Well, I can believe it, but it still makes no sense whatsoever.

Exactly. What a tremendous waste of money that thing was.
