Texans @ Titans 2nd Half Open Game Thread

A crazy first half, but it is always good to go to the lockerroom with a lead.  

I am going to open a thread for the late games because I figure most of us will be watching the Jags and Colts so hang around for that.

First half

First, I’d like to personally thank Jeff Fisher for having mercy on our charmin-soft defense at the end of the first half. Not sure what he was thinking there, but you guys could easily have 28 right now.

by HoustonDiehards on Sep 21, 2008 1:38 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I think he was looking for CJ to break a long one.

I guess they think

he is too valuable to the offense

True

but Fisher cares a lot more about his running backs than his receivers

Announcers

seem to think that the Texans are still in this game. I think 7 here would put an end to that theory.

by theologic on Sep 21, 2008 1:45 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Texans are definitely still in it.

And remember last year. They were WAY further behind than this.

Did anyone else notice that Solis over at battleredblog

Has “gone on record” to say the Texans will sweep the Titans this year?

http://www.battleredblog.com/2008/9/20/618306/three-and-out-useless-pred

Sometimes I can’t believe these Texan fan clowns. We’re 10-2 against them, haven’t lost to them since 2004, yet they insist on believing they are a better team than us. Perhaps this beating we are laying on the today will shake some sense into them.

I don't understand why they took LenDale out. He was doing better than CJ.

Why shouldn't you be conservative?

If not for one long run by Slaton, and one long pass to Davis – we have zero offense.

by HoustonDiehards on Sep 21, 2008 2:15 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

True

That’s why we all wondered why they went for it back there.

we’re all out of gas in hendersonville

What is with that?

Nashville was out of gas and some stations in knoxville too.

That we would play sloppy today. I think our D was looking past the Texans.

by theologic on Sep 21, 2008 2:39 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

to who?

I agree they’re flat for sure – but really the division games this year are the ones they need to be up for – they don’t have too many power-houses outside the division to play

by numbertenox on Sep 21, 2008 2:41 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Funny

They’re calling the game like this will put Texas ahead or something.

by Rustmeister on Sep 21, 2008 2:41 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

lol

I was thinking the same thing. The announcers are a little over excited.

by theologic on Sep 21, 2008 2:42 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Heh

All for naught. Let’s hope we can move the ball some this time.

That was… stupid. We deserve all the crap you guys are going to throw at us this week.

by HoustonDiehards on Sep 21, 2008 2:43 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

well it aint over just yet.

we just need to play Jeff Fisher ball now

by ElectricScissors on Sep 21, 2008 2:44 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Oh, it's over

The only reason the Texas were able to do anything on defense this half is because Fisher is playing ultra-conservative. Otherwise it would be very ugly.

by HoustonDiehards on Sep 21, 2008 2:45 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

just some really wierd ideas to keep going for it on 4th when it obviously isnt working at all

by Shainoc on Sep 21, 2008 2:44 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

It would be 24-18

if they had just went for 3

by Rustmeister on Sep 21, 2008 2:44 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Tell you what...

Tell your cronies at brb to stop blogging all over the internet that your team is better than the Titans and we’ll leave you alone.

We’d like to focus on winning the division; not on proving that we’re better than the weakest team in it.

by BeansCarter on Sep 21, 2008 2:47 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Houston was 8-8 last year right?

I was expecting them to be decent this year. Who were their pick-ups in the off-season?

Schaub doesn’t look too great to me.

by numbertenox on Sep 21, 2008 2:48 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Beans,

LOL, you’re not going to stop anything and I wouldn’t want you to. We suck right now. Your team is better. Much better. Light-years better. But Texans and Titans fans will always talk shit to each other. That will never change.

were as perceptive as you are, the world would be a harmonious place.
