The weather is great.
The ribs are on the pit.
The Guac is made.
The beer is cold.


GO TEXANS

[Mailman]

Andre Davis is active.

Good lord. Think before scaring the hell outta everyone. There's a game inactive link on the Texans webpage. Davis' name isn't on it.

[Daiges7]

610 predictions sounded pretty negative:

Matt Jackson: Chargers 34-10
Adam Wexler: Chargers 30-10

Let's hope they're wrong!

[Sportswriter79]

610 predictions sounded pretty negative:

Matt Jackson: Chargers 34-10
Adam Wexler: Chargers 30-10

Let's hope they're wrong!

If Sage is starting, Jackson and Wex are probably not too far off. These off-the-bench heroics by backup QBs tend to last a few quarters, but most of these guys are non-starters for a reason. The Chargers are on an upswing too.

[Vinny]

610 predictions sounded pretty negative:

Matt Jackson: Chargers 34-10
Adam Wexler: Chargers 30-10

Let's hope they're wrong!
I'm pretty much at 37-12 or so myself.

[B420tx]

Govenator!!,

Ah crap, we're the bad guys in this story :(

[ThaShark316]

Lets beat these *****es! GO TEXANS!!!

[ThaShark316]

Nothin much on that play...bout 3 yds...lets go DDDDDD

[TEXANottoMAN]

Good Hit. Hold therm Big D

[TexasJedi]

Let's see how they do on 3rd downs today, defensively.

[Mailman]

Lets beat these *****es! GO TEXANS!!!

STATEMENT GAME.

Let's go Texans!

[TEXANottoMAN]

3 and out - YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS

[ThaShark316]

Get Off My Field Dolts.

[TEXANottoMAN]

Way to go DR

[TEXANottoMAN]

JJ is sacred

ALL RIGHT SCHAUB IS IN

[will742]

I hope the O line shows up today

That makes two of us.

[Mailman]

Cmon Jacoby. Gotta get it and go.

[Mailman]

Dayne. ugh.

[joedinkle]

nfl.com is showing sage as our qb

[will742]

The announcer just called Kubiak, "Gary Daniels." Wow

[B420tx]

Dayne falls down for a one yards gain ... yay

[TEXANottoMAN]

Dane had a seambut it closed fast

[TEXANottoMAN]

Houston Texan First............down

[peldon]

Nice play to get the first.

[ThaShark316]

1ST DOWN! Lets go got dammit!!!

[TexasJedi]

nfl.com is showing sage as our qb
You know what happened last time they did that...

[nikkithunder]

Is Schaub still hurt? I didn't know that they were starting Rosenfels(unable to watch game so i'm following it on the internet)

[TEXANottoMAN]

Dane for 2 - lol

[63Bravo]

hi all I am back

[Sportswriter79]

Nice to see Jacoby back.

[TEXANottoMAN]

Schaub is in - Good catch AD

[SuperstarII]

dayne is too slow

Put a dozen hamburgers in the end zone. He might run to them. :D

[63Bravo]

i really thought that the Texans would be 5 - 2 by now

[ThaShark316]

1st dizzle, bizzle.

[will742]

So far, so good.

[TEXANottoMAN]

Dane for 2 again. FIRST DOWN

[Sportswriter79]

dayne is too slow

Dayne is rarely going to break one open, but we need him in there to pick up those 2, 3 & 4 yard gains and keep the defense honest..

[63Bravo]

So anyone??? What happened to AJ????

[TEXANottoMAN]

walter

[ThaShark316]

K-Dubs....
















FIRST DOWN!!!! Quick hitters

[Sportswriter79]

That was a great throw and a bad decision. He's gonna get picked if he keeps that up.

[B420tx]

I love JOE!

[TEXANottoMAN]

Nice cut back E

[SuperstarII]

ECHEMANDU runs faster than dayne!!!!!!! :D

[Mailman]

look at that! nice gain Ech.

[Sportswriter79]

Nice run Joe E. !!

[ThaShark316]

Africa! Africa...nice run

last play: INC. pass...3rd and 3

[TEXANottoMAN]

ECHEMANDU runs faster than dayne!!!!!!! :D

Heck yes

[Sportswriter79]

Go With Joe !

[63Bravo]

I really wish this game was on tv

[TEXANottoMAN]

Good balance so far

4 th down

[TexasJedi]

When was the last time we tried a fake punt?

[63Bravo]

so how did the Texans loose those games...besides the obvious that they got out scored???

[B420tx]

So... at least it didn't end with a turnover ...

[63Bravo]

was it poor play or just plain outplayed???

[Super Mario Bros]

Echemandu is great. Give him more carries please, Kubs

[63Bravo]

****it

[TEXANottoMAN]

Lets go d

[63Bravo]

we lost those games with a combination of injuries, no running game, and bad officiating

figures... I knew the Texans had lost but I was doing Army training and had no access to a tv or computer.

[ThaShark316]

Horrible D...TD. 7-0 SD

[TexasJedi]

So, they're just not going to cover him?

[peldon]

F'in Pathetic

[Schaub2Andre4TD]

WTF how does Gates get that open!? :mad:

[63Bravo]

Wtf

[SuperstarII]

:( god our team is never awake in the first quarter

[TEXANottoMAN]

Burned Secondary

Cover Gates

[TEXANottoMAN]

That was terrible

[Super Mario Bros]

Demeco bit on the run fake

[Sportswriter79]

who was suppose to cover him??

Safety should have picked him up I would think...

[63Bravo]

who was suppose to cover him??

i guess the 12th man had him but oh well.

[CoogBull]

I just love it when the commentators make fun of us. They should make the players listen to it after the games. Same old Texans. Soubt they would even care.

They want the Chargers to win because of the fires, just like they wanted the Saints to win after Katrina.

[TexasJedi]

who was suppose to cover him??
Not sure, closest guy was Demeco underneath. But a LB covering Gates? Maybe it was Hutchins since he seemed to be covering no one, though Petey did come flashing in at the last moment. Terrible nonetheless.

[nikkithunder]

I just love it when the commentators make fun of us. They should make the players listen to it after the games. Same old Texans. Soubt they would even care.

They want the Chargers to win because of the fires, just like they wanted the Saints to win after Katrina.


What do you mean when they make fun of us? The game isn't on tv here so what did they say?

[will742]

Here we go again..

[63Bravo]

basically I think they just want the Texans to loose period.

[Oilers2Texans]

We had a nice drive our first possesion but unfortunately nothing to show:(

[ThaShark316]

A screen to dayne..nothin doing....come on O!!!! 3rd and 13.

[HoustonFan]

What's goin on everyone?

I sure hope that we can pull off an upset of the Chargers, which is not going so well right now.

[SuperstarII]

LOL this team is not looking good.......:mad:

[HoustonTexans4Life]

I love when our defense makes offenses pro-bowlers.

[63Bravo]

WOW we need a RB

[63Bravo]

Maybe we can talk Barry Sanders out of retirement...lol!!!!

[TSgt.Texan]

We are forcing the run. Now we are forced to pass.

[GT]

get daynes fat butt off the field let the kid play.

[ThaShark316]

TD comin on this play right here! :D

[peldon]

Rivers made such a bad throw that, if a safety was even remotly close to covering Gates, I think he would have had a chance at an interception.

[Oilers2Texans]

WOW we need a RB

Darren McFadden :cool:

[nikkithunder]

WOW we need a RB

We definately need a RB! Is Ahman Green even playing today? Or did they start Dayne?

[CoogBull]

What do you mean when they make fun of us? The game isn't on tv here so what did they say?

They were ragging on our secondary. Commenting on how everyone knows you do not let Gates get open.

[HoustonTexans4Life]

I think we need to have the RBs block and have Schaub throw all day. Dayne and whoever the hell we have suck.

[HoustonFan]

Maybe we can talk Barry Sanders out of retirement...lol!!!!

We'd probably sign him. Seems like we always sign the veterans.

[TexasJedi]

I have no words.

[bugman7star]

Wtf???

[peldon]

Wow...just wow.

[TEXANottoMAN]

What A Bonehead

[CoogBull]

We definalty are the most inept team in the NFL.

[63Bravo]

WOW...now say it backwards...WOW

[B420tx]

Look at this from a positive standpoint... our offense gets the ball back ...

[Sportswriter79]

Wow. Pittman never does that. But Turk blew it.

[Super Mario Bros]

oh boy. same ol bad news bears

[kenneth24]

Augghhhhh!

[HoustonFan]

Say, does anyone have 2 12 packs? I think I'm going to take up drinking today.

[Texicano]

LOLOLOLOL :eek:

[bugman7star]

Well...um...at least we get the ball back..

[B420tx]

TD comin on this play right here! :D

That is scary ...

[Schaub2Andre4TD]

Wow this is disgraceful.

[GT]

that play about sums up whats happening to this team geeeeezzzzzzz

[SuperstarII]

screw this........... can we have starbucks delivered to the team instead of lousy *** gatorade?! Its not working for them....

[TEXANottoMAN]

Turk looked like a little girl. The anouncers are LAUGHING at us

[TexTon]

The Keystone Texans have officially arrived.
I think, no way they can get worse, I think wrong.
Always next year.

[63Bravo]

Look at this from a positive standpoint... our offense gets the ball back ...

the grass is always greener in the endzone...if u don't believe me just ask the Chargers.

[vonbock]

I told you all last week and the week before. The Texans aren't going to win another game this season. Time to think for another head coach. Kubiak is just too nice and not strict enough on the players.

[B420tx]

:) I think Pittman was competing for the longest backwards pass...

[Oilers2Texans]

The Chargers are going to let our defense rest. :eek:

[TEXANottoMAN]

Im glad we didnt play tonight or Mon night. How embarrasing

[CoogBull]

Say, does anyone have 2 12 packs? I think I'm going to take up drinking today.

Jack Daniels is the ticket. You will be down before the route it on...even though it looks like it might be on now.

[SuperstarII]

and just liike that the negativity starts, still the first quarter

man you sure have a whole lot of prozac. Let me have some of that then!

[Super Mario Bros]

Turk looked like a little girl. The anouncers are LAUGHING at us

they seriously were.

[ThaShark316]

This is now 2005...i swear.

[TSgt.Texan]

Turk looked like a little girl. The anouncers are LAUGHING at us

Rightfully so!!

[Texicano]

I think maybe Turk had smoke in his eye. :rolleyes:

[TexTon]

and just liike that the negativity starts, still the first quarter
Ha, we've had soooo much positivity from this team I can't imagine why we would become negative so quickly?

[TEXANottoMAN]

They can't even believe it

[Schaub2Andre4TD]

I'm just going to pretend that we punted and gave up a legitimate TD.

[Footballz]

Wow this is disgraceful.


Shaub threw a pass for a loss?????

[B420tx]

Turk looked like a little girl. The anouncers are LAUGHING at us

I'm not going to lie, I thought that was hilarious.

[Super Mario Bros]

texans have to answer with a time killing drive and score a td here or this game is over

[TEXANottoMAN]

I'm just going to pretend that we punted and gave up a legitimate TD.


LOL

[Rosstafarian]

This is now 2005...i swear.

except we've already won more than we did in that season. THANKS FOR PLAYING :rolleyes:

this is pretty ugly though :(

[63Bravo]

Jack Daniels is the ticket. You will be down before the route it on...even though it looks like it might be on now.


You said it bro JD is the poop!

[TEXANottoMAN]

Good catch KW

[B420tx]

I love JOE!

[TexasJedi]

Dear Lord, do you see Gary? Do you see?

[SuperstarII]

Dayne Is Garbage


Go Echemandu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HoustonFan]

OK. Where has this guy been all season?

[ThaShark316]

Africa!

Keep him in dammit! f dayne!

[kenneth24]

running game looks better already

[63Bravo]

WHO was that???

[vonbock]

Good thing about this game. We are already out of it before the end of the 1st quarter. We can start thinking about work tomorrow

[Schaub2Andre4TD]

YES #33 welcome to the show. We've never needed you more.

[TEXANottoMAN]

20 yds for BIG E

[Super Mario Bros]

ECHEMANDU! we found a back.

[B420tx]

I love JOE! again!

[63Bravo]

nice

[Footballz]

They are talking about Sage. :eek:

[Carlos]

Turk is truly a moron. The ***** should've had the presence of mind to kick the ball out of the end zone. His screw up was inexcusable for a veteran.

[will742]

What a breath of fresh air.

[TEXANottoMAN]

1 st down

[TEXANSFTW]

I am at a loss for words. What can one say after that screw up? The Texans have only one option to answer and that is to win this game...

[63Bravo]

woohoo first down

[B420tx]

I don't know if you guys noticed, but, I LOVE Joe E!

[TSgt.Texan]

dude calm dawn **** drama queen

EMADO=MVP

[SuperstarII]

looks like mr dayne is on the bench.. maybe coach K heard us

He probably has somebody on a blackberry checking the boards... :D

[63Bravo]

go itchymangoop

[Texicano]

Turk is truly a moron. The ***** should've had the presence of mind to kick the ball out of the end zone. His screw up was inexcusable for a veteran.

Comeon man give him a break. He might of had smoke in his eye. :rolleyes:

[B420tx]

ROFL, Dayne, Jealous much?

[TEXANottoMAN]

holy crap ron dayne ran for more then two yards

LOL 4 yds

[TEXANottoMAN]

Dane must know that Joe E will take his job

[Mailman]

Turk is truly a moron. The ***** should've had the presence of mind to kick the ball out of the end zone. His screw up was inexcusable for a veteran.

exactly. he didn't even need to worry about falling on the ball. just bat the **** thing outta bounds!

[CoogBull]

E is putting it to them. He might just be the deciding factor.

[TexasJedi]

That mascot freaks me out.

[TEXANottoMAN]

Decent 1st q except for a few bonehead plays

[63Bravo]

so who the hell is this new kid and where did we find him and are there more like him???

[Daiges7]

E had a little limp a few plays ago. He is injured! This is freaking amazing!

[nikkithunder]

SD scored again?? I totally missed that:eek:

[TEXANottoMAN]

Lets go big o

[SuperstarII]

come on :(

[B420tx]

Joe, hit behind the line, STILL gets yards! I love this guy! :)

[Daiges7]

Okay, he's back. Thank God!

[CoogBull]

Our WR and TE look like they are scared to death out there.

[TEXANottoMAN]

Not a good play call. If it was complete, it would have been short

[63Bravo]

woohoo 3 points

[SuperstarII]

YES!! kicking team !!!! Lets stay positive people!!! :rolleyes:

[Daiges7]

Now dropped passes. What is next on the how not to play football show?

[ThaShark316]

14-3!

Good kick KB!

[Footballz]

Shaub put it right there. TWICE.

Butterfingers.

[TEXANottoMAN]

u dont wanna know.. :(
You will see it on NFL BLOOPERS

[63Bravo]

he was on our practice squad until we cut Gado this past week


We cut Gado??? WHY??

[Carlos]

I'm sick of hearing from the team how good Owen Daniels is. He drops too many **** passes.

Davis has come back to earth after playing inspired ball early in the season. We need AJ back in the worst way.

[Footballz]

You will see it on NFL BLOOPERS


Yup. Sportscenter.

[Texandiver]

We cut Gado??? WHY??

Could it be because he wasn't producing?

[B420tx]

We cut Gado??? WHY??

Maybe cuz he's Ron Dayne 2.0, but Dayne costs more to cut.

[caddy]

Schaub's fault. Did the same mistake David did. Put on the numbers. Boom they drop it.

[TexasJedi]

We cut Gado??? WHY??
He was Dayne-like and Gary likes "Ronnie" better. He was signed by Miami.

[Daiges7]

We cut Gado??? WHY??

Because he runs a 5.3 40 time.

[TEXANottoMAN]

Lets Go D

[TEXANottoMAN]

Poor Tackling

[SuperstarII]

we play with no inspiration and look the fires have brought inspiration to SD. god houston teams are cursed. :(

[Carlos]

Our special teams used to be a strength of the team. Now, it's a weakness other than Brown.

[TEXANottoMAN]

Is the D tired already

[B420tx]

Did you see LT go down when he saw Dunta coming? He is sooo scared ... I hope.

[SuperstarII]

54 SD

9 Texans


Can we hire an experienced head coach?

:(

[CoogBull]

Now LT is in a rhythm and it will be down hill from here.

[Wolf123]

54 SD

9 Texans


Can we hire an experienced head coach?

:(

Shut up!!

[TexasJedi]

54 SD

9 Texans


Can we hire an experienced head coach?

:(
Dom Capers was experienced.

Someone cover Gates and someone else get some pressure on Rivers.

[ThaShark316]

Left Gates open AGAIN....21-3.

[Wolf123]

Thats why Safety is such a huge need.

[TEXANottoMAN]

Why cant we cover anyone

[Daiges7]

I guess we still aren't going to cover Gates. Good decision. I am embarassed. This is pathetic!

[SuperstarII]

Shut up!!

Hey at least I show passion for our team. What about you?

[Wolf123]

Because are safeties are terrible!

[TEXANottoMAN]

Mommy, make the bad men go away

[kenneth24]

how about jamming him at the line!?

[vonbock]

Hey this is the 3rd game straight where we have been blown out early.
Hey Bill Cowher is out there. He will put some discpline in this team.

[nikkithunder]

we came back from 29 down last week, this game ain't over yet


That's the spirit!

[TexTon]

Speechless.
I'm sure you're all sorry to hear I have no negative thoughts to share.

[HoustonTexans4Life]

I love that zero pressure by our DL. Our DBacks suck, but that DL isn't doing crap.

[Wolf123]

Hey at least I show passion for our team. What about you?

saying that we will lose 50 to 9 is not passion. Its a negative attitude.

[NjTexanFan]

Why is everyone so upset of the outcome of this game, from the beginning of the season many people knew we weren't going to win this game, and that we're depleted with injuries you should have expected it

[63Bravo]

Could it be because he wasn't producing?


Like I said I was doing Army training for most of October I just got back on the 23rd and I haven't been able to watch or hear about the games or scores.

[Daiges7]

Hey this is the 3rd game straight where we have been blown out early.
Hey Bill Cowher is out there. He will put some discpline in this team.

I second that motion.

[CoogBull]

We are so embarassing.

[Oilers2Texans]

we came back from 29 down last week, this game ain't over yet

True but, the Chargers are much better than the Titans.

[TexasJedi]

I know there have been some injury problems, but seriously what has happened to this team? They are better at finding ways to lose of late than George Constanza is at lying.

[Mailman]

Hey this is the 3rd game straight where we have been blown out early.
Hey Bill Cowher is out there. He will put some discpline in this team.

I agree. Bill Cowher would've snapped it perfectly to Turk, and if not, he would've certainly covered it up in the end zone or batted it out of bounds.

We're one Cowher away.

[TEXANottoMAN]

Well , we get the ball back. Lets go Schaub.

[SuperstarII]

saying that we will lose 50 to 9 is not passion. Its a negative attitude.

yeah but the truth hurts. no?

[Wolf123]

atleast the running game is looking better.

[DexmanC]

We don't have a mature pass rush, nor do we have talented safeties. We knew it would be a long year. Look at the good side, we've found our franchise RB, and he has a cool fantasy name, similar to Houshmanzadeh. Call him Etchitalimandooooooooooooo..

Think positive, folks.

[TEXANottoMAN]

atleast the running game is looking better.

Yes it does

[TexTon]

we came back from 29 down last week, this game ain't over yet
And it went down as a big L for the record.

[Wolf123]

yeah but the truth hurts. no?

Thats not the truth! just your opinion!

[kcwilson]

Look at the good side, we've found our franchise RB, and he has a cool fantasy name, similar to Houshmanzadeh. Call him Etchitalimandooooooooooooo..

Think positive, folks.

I think I just threw up in my mouth... Are you serious? Franchise back after 4 carries?

Dude, that is desperate.

[TEXANottoMAN]

First down!!!!

[CoogBull]

We need to get serious of just give up on the season.

[63Bravo]

Man I swear sometimes I loose touch with reality.

[Daiges7]

I agree. Bill Cowher would've snapped it perfectly to Turk, and if not, he would've certainly covered it up in the end zone or batted it out of bounds.

We're one Cowher away.

I think his point was that the Head Coach is usually responsible for having a team play with discipline. If you allow a team to run out on to the field and embarass your city every week, you are not instilling the right mentality.

[TexasJedi]

Yes, did we catch a break?

[Wolf123]

He was kidding, trying to lighten up the mood

[TEXANottoMAN]

Flagggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

[SuperstarII]

atleast the running game is looking better.

That I can agree with being positive. :D

[vonbock]

fans that give up? Well blowouts, awful preparation, undiscplined, do you actullay think there is hope for this team for the rest of the year?

[TEXANottoMAN]

THats the play we need

[Oilers2Texans]

atleast the running game is looking better.

We do have more rushing yards than SD. :D

[Wolf123]

Yet we continue to give it to dayne

[SuperstarII]

Thats not the truth! just your opinion!

blah blah Some of you people have no sense of reality.

there is a remote chance we can win, but its up to our offense to wake up!

[Wolf123]

OH crap!

[TEXANottoMAN]

Tackle

[DexmanC]

Matt Shaub's first TD pass in 3 weeks. Nice job.

[Oilers2Texans]

fans that give up? Well blowouts, awful preparation, undiscplined, do you actullay think there is hope for this team for the rest of the year?

There is always hope for the year.

[SuperstarII]

Yet we continue to give it to dayne

that is not staying positive. :rolleyes:

[TexTon]

Wow, speechless again.
This is just plain old sad.

[CoogBull]

This is getting funny. This team should be ashamed of itself.

[Caesar]

Let's see if we can set the record for worst blowout in NFL history. I see us giving up about 70-80 points today.

[TexasJedi]

Well, that was not good. Come on Texans, aren't you tired of losing? I know I am. Keep the faith.

[Mailman]

turnovers. turnovers. turnovers. turnovers.

[Wolf123]

At least this team is awesome!

[63Bravo]

I can predict the future....You see since I am home the Texans will suck this year and not do a **** thing. I leave for Afghanistan in March of next year and will not get to see a Texans game next season at all. So they will probably kick *** next year so cheer up peeps...lol
