Official Texans @ Eagles Game Thread, 12/2/2010

[HPF Bob]

About the only good thing to take away from that drive is that the d-line got close to Vick a couple of times.

Close. Horseshoes. Hand grenades.

[chuck]

Bernard Pollard is a joke in coverage.

Mario and Amobi spent a lot of that drive on the sidelines. I don't know what to make of that other than their conditioning might be better.

Slaton brings the return out past the 30! Of course he started at about the 20...

[Arky]

7:56 left in the 1st quarter.

Slaton brings the kickoff back to the Texan 31.

Dump to Foster is dropped. 2nd and 10 coming up.

End around to AJ goes for about 8. Flag on the play. Facemask on Eagles +15. Puts the ball at the Eagles 47.

Schaub hits Leach for 21.

Flag on D Brown - false start. -5, Makes it 1st and 15.

Schaub to Foster for -2. Makes it 2nd and 17.

Foster for 3. 3rd and 14 coming up.

Pass to Dreessen caught out of bounds. Texans to go for the FG.

[Arky]

Rackers 48 yarder is good.

Eagles 7, Texans 3

[chuck]

Come on, D, let's go.

[HPF Bob]

Neil "Off The" Rackers salvages three points.

[Arky]

Very first Texan play - that screen to Foster (that he dropped) was set up nice. They gotta go back to that one, right?

My hopes for the D went out the window during pregame when they showed Okoye playing the Ray Lewis role and leading the unit in the chant/jump up and down in unison to get pumped up to play. If the best we got for a leader to pump up the troops before kickoff is Okoye, we're screwed.

[Arky]

Eagles bring the kickoff back to their 28. 4:55 left in the 1st.

McCoy gets 12. 1st down.

Fumble!!!. Eagles recover. Brings up 2nd and 11.

Vick scrambles for 7. 3rd and 4 coming up.

Pass to Jackson gets nice gainer. Ball at the Texan 32.

McCoy dodges for 2. 2nd and 8 coming up.

End around to Jackson goes for no gain. 3rd and 8 coming up.

[Arky]

On 3rd and 8, Vick scrambles for 10. 1st down.

Pollard breaks up the pass in the endzone. 2nd and 10 coming up.

McCoy runs for 13. 1st and goal at the 7.

End of the 1st quarter.

Q: How many Texans does it take to tackle an Eagle?

A: Apparently more than eleven.

[coloradodude]

In reference to Mario sucking on the national screen...

Joe Theisman says, "that's lousy defensive end play" as Mario "single teamed" Williams watches the RB blow past him.

Yup. Geeze.

[chuck]

I would love to be the Eagles' OC right about now. There is virtually no play on your laminated sheet that will not work against this disgrace of a defense.

[Arky]

Pass to McCoy at the sideline goes for 2. 2nd and goal from the 5.

McCoy runs it in for the TD.

Eagles 14, Texans 3

Good lord, didya see that arm-bar on a Texan on the replay?

[HPF Bob]

Bush league defense...

[chuck]

That was just laughably bad. WTF is Okoye doing standing in the end zone doing nothing as the RB scores? Where are the LBs? Where are the safeties?

[chuck]

This is going to be like that Sunday night game in Seattle years ago when they ran for more than 500 yards on the Texans. This is going to be a humiliating ass whipping that shows this team for poorly led joke that it surely is.

[HPF Bob]

They're saving their strength so they can get ass-raped by the Ravens in about ten days.

[Arky]

14:30 left in the half.

Slaton brings the kickoff back to the Texan 21.

Foster for 8.

Foster for 3. 1st down.

Schaub can't find anyone open and chunks it out of bounds. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Pass is behind Dreessen inc. 3rd and 10 coming up.

Schaub hit as he passes, inc. Texans to punt.

Punt rolls to the Eagles 32. Eagles ball.
