On to the Texans....

[Cat'sGrowl]

The Texans were down 10 points (multiple scores) to the Bengals about halfway through the 4th quarter. The last 2 drives the Texans had (one for 65 and one for 80 yards respectively) both featured about 75% (first drive) and 90% (second drive) passing plays. He was also doing this without Andre Johnson, only using the likes of Jacoby Jones (not very good at catching balls) and Kevin Walters (posession guy) as his wideouts.

It's kind of not the biggest issue for you guys though, the combination of Arian Foster and Ben Tate along with our O-line should be much more concerning to you guys than TJ Yates.

Once more you misunderstand what I mean by "leading."

Not 17-7. Not 17-10.

23-6. 28-7.

Pretty sure leading a game winning drive is what it is if you were down 28-0 or 10-0. I'm not going to fault the guy because the Texans defense doesn't give him the opportunity to command an offense that is down 3 or 4 touchdowns.

i'm more afraid of foster than i am of blount and turner.

i'm not worried about RBs that are limited to just running the ball. it's when they are a receiving threat that they are a problem and foster is just that.

Whaaaa??? And just how much time do you want to give TJ for this miraculous come back?

The guy is clutch...he's already shown that. How good is he? We really dont know yet. But if his last two games are any indication he could be the sleeper pick of that draft.

Sir, no one in the NFL is good but Cam.

Agreed: Foster is very dangerous as a pass catcher out of the backfield. Tate is not a good pass catcher.

And their TEs (Owen Daniels and Joel Dreessen) will have big days Sunday.

On D: JJ Watt, Barwin, Cushing are having great years and are beasts. Our Oline better pay attention to their responsibilities and protect CAM and open holes for D-lo and Stew.

Note: local radio reporting that Wade will be out due to some surgery and someone else will do the playcalling.

If we lose at least my fantasy team will move to the championship round because I got Foster. However, I would rather the Panthers win.

I'm giving you real examples of scores we've had and blew this year. Difference is, is that TJ Yates isn't Matthew Stafford or Matt Ryan.

TJ vs Captain... OMFG! I look for the Texans to expose our lack of depth at LB by putting them in 1 on 1 coverage and using play action to look deep, hopefully we win but they have the better team.

This is exactly what will happen. I don't think we win, our defense is just too bad. Hopefully we can score some points and make it a game though.

That much I have faith in. We've seemed to divert our resources defensively to stopping the run and letting our Secondary hopefully hold up against the pass. If that gameplan pans out once more we give ourselves a shot.

Houston isn't as potent in the passing game as Atlanta, but they certainly aren't Tampa. We'll see what happens. Either way, like you said, I trust our offense, it's the defense that is the question mark.

People around these parts know ole TJ pretty well, remember where he went to school.

Tape tells all, the more tape, the more he will be shutdown, if not this week then further down the line.

Let's not put TJ in Canton just yet, just like Newton, Dalton, Ponder, don't belong in Canton.

If they can play like they did in the first half against Atlanta for a full game, we can beat anybody. So you never know.

I hear some people think there are other QBS that are good, Matt Moore as an example.

Yes, also, in unrelated news, the sky is blue.
