Houston Isnt Going To Run Away

[oldunclemark]

Sunday's Houston collapse at New Orleans....(they gave up 17 in the final 10 minutes)

indicates 2 things.

1.) WE made them look better than they are....

2.) The season isnt over for us yet because the division winner is going to be about 10-6.

the defense number are probly a little high cause of the lack of offense

Bro, I watched that game, the Texans are legit. Don't ever knock playing NO @ NO, that place gets rocking.

[Andy]

If anything this game proved to us, that:

1. They are for real, because they hung in there with the Saints, and they did extremely well, plus they have one of the best Ds in the league on top of a good offense. They stopped the Dolphins and killed us. There looking really good, and unless Peyton comes back soon, it's looks like the Texans finally live up to the hype for once.

i agree the season isnt over but they are a very good team, they have a tough schedule and we will take them next time,as the coaches are making adjustments

Off topic, I do know that Michael Vick is as Charles Barkley would say, "Turrible.". His concussion and broken hand will get no sympathy from me. Sorry fantasy football goers, sux 4 u.

I don't know how you could determine that they collapsed. It was 19 -17 after the 3rd qtr.. New Orleans is a high powered offense and by that time in the game the defense was probably gassed. The fact that they came pretty close to beating NO in NO just proves to me that they are even better than what I thought they were.

I wouldn't bet on it, next year? Yes, definitely, this season, no. It would be better in the long term if he waited till next year anyways.

Texans are good, but we're not even 1/4 into the season yet, so anything can happen. We've seen teams go 8-0 then end the season 8-8.

No one can really see the end of this season, this early.

def - total points per game allowed 30.5 ranked number 2

Is this for real or a typo? 30.5 points per game is 2nd best in the league? There is only one team in the league that is potentially holding opponents under 30 ppg? I know the rules have been shifted in favor of offense, but wow.

Also, time of possession should really be classified as a team stat, not offense or defense (or in this case repeated for both). Both sides of the ball factor into time of possession.

colts

[Malakai432]

Yeah they're impossible to beat at home, they only lost to the Browns, Bucs & Falcons last year @ home, lol. They're beatable, tough but beatable.

[JCPatriot]

We've seen teams go 8-0 then end the season 8-8.

Who did that? I've seen many late-season collapses, but I've never seen anything that bad.

[jbaron04]

it was a typo i meant 2nd worse which is ranked 31 tied to 28

you can factor time of possesion like that because both teams our on the field for 60 minutes

longer your offense is out better mean their converting

longer your defense is on the field is bad not getting stops

Exactly. Saw the game and the Texans gave Saints all they could handle. They went toe to toe and almost beat them in their house. Texans did not do themselves any discredit by losing today.

[Steagles]

Texans will pull their normal routine and lose a bunch in the latter.

[The Fish]

Houston not being able to beat a super bowl team is no surprise, and has very little to do with how off key we are right now.

live streaming is a good site if u guys need a stream

[Moose Of Woe]

Ok. They're not running away with it.

Now let me pose this question - how exactly do you intend to catch them?

[Feardaneard]

where gonna be 3- 3 after 6

lose to steeler

againt bucs, cheifs, bengals

then lose to saints

beat titans

we gonna be 4 and 7 after bye week

We are not going to beat the Bucs or Bengals; maybe the Cheifs. :manning:

[TennEngr]

The Texans looked pretty darn good to me today. The analysts are probably beating them up for losing a winnable game but that doesn't mean they are lousy. I don't like our chances at winning the Division. We still have to play against Ben Tate/Arian Foster again; Chris Johnson (twice) and Maurice Jones-Drew (twice). These teams have a history of running all over us but we could always score more points and that's not going to happen this year.

Now if we could stop Rashard Mendenhall tonight, I might rethink my position. GO COLTS!

[smittywerb]

So you decide to post this after they barely lose against a very good Saints team? The Texans had the Saints number today but as stated earlier, they choked. The Texans are legit. They have been building that team for years and finally it is coming together. In my opinion, with the way the Texans have been playing, even if Peyton Manning was playing, we would have split the season with the Texans 1-1 this year.

[Rich Cannon]

A much needed loss by the texans in a shoot out. We need this win vs the steelers badly

[Colts_2231]

I don't see their defense getting much better as the season goes on, so as long as we/other teams can score, it will be like past season where you'll take your chance in a shootout. That said, we've got to get something going to get our offense up to speed. Fumble returns aren't anything we can rely on to win games.

[FairleySuhper]

They're pretty dayum good

Agreed, Texans are the AFC south Champs by week 15.
