Houston (-6.5) at NY Jets (12-15-18)

[oldunclemark]

 4:30 EST....Kurt Menneffee, Nate Burleson, Steve Mariucci (really) and Melissa Stark on the NFL Network (and no place else)

50 degrees at the Mt Life Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey  ,... over/under at 41. 5

 

Deshaun (I was Pat Mahomes last year) Watson (269 of 402, 3,298 yards, 22 TDs, 9 INTs) will try to take hs team to the AFC South title with the help of All-pro WR DeAndre Hopkins (84 catches, 1,151 yards)\. Watson has one scary number. He's been sacked 46 times.

 

The Jets season heads for the cemetary with rookie QB  Sam (I'll be better in  2019) Darnold (175 of 313, 2,104 yards, 12 TDs, 15 INTs)

Jets broke a 6-game losing streak last week but they have just 68 rushing first downs all season so Darnold may be running from Houston's JJ Watt (12.5 sacks) all afternoon.

 

A Houston win gives them the AFC South title if the Colts and Tennessee both lose Sunday. A Jets win means about as much as  jets loss: Nothing.

Unless Santa shows up and brings all his elves, there will be plenty of empty seats.

 

6 1/2 is a lot on the road but its the Jets.  Houston had won nine ion a row until last week and they are 4-2 on the road. The over seems likely.

Thanks. You reminded me that there is football today.  I have a cold and can stay home and watch football.

 

Anyway, Houston will win this. The Jets have nothing to play for.

Are these games on amazon prime like the Thursday games. I am bummed because I don’t get NFL Network.

[King Colt]

It is not a question about the Texans rather, it is the fact that the Jets are horrible. Texans win no contest. "pity the fool"

[teganslaw]

So watch the Jets pull an upset just to keep the playoffs interesting.

[Maniac]

Do we have the tiebreak on Houston or...?

3-3 at the quarter..

..but JJ Watt is fired up....Apparently he thinks its a disgrace to let the Jets score even 3 points

I think that if they lose to the Jets and Jacksonville, if we get to 10-6....we do

[Tsarquise]

I can't believe we lost to the Jets.

No

[oldunclemark]

`16-9 Houston at the half....

 

...When the Texans try to play a prevent defense. rushing 4 AND dropping 7...

they just give up good yardage every play..

 

  If the Jets can stay within a TD....this game could go the right way

[rock8591]

lol how did Henry Anderson have 3 sacks. Must have been a bad offensive line.

[buffalo34]

Texans letting the Jets walk up and down on them.

 

Patriots are completely assured of a 1st round bye now, and most likely a Super Bowl appearance.

[oldunclemark]

Jets within 16-15 mid 3rd quarter..

...did they just run the same double move pass that the Colts ran on Houston last week?

 

..and what's the kicking record for missed extra points in the same game??

[DraftMaster]

Go for 2 for the rest of the game! Should be up by 1 not down by 1...

Watson has been sacked 50 times now

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

This game doesn't matter much for us unfortnately. We need them to lose to the Jags in week 17 

[buffalo34]

The offense is done moving the ball for the night.

 

The defense couldn't stop a middle school team.

 

This game is over.

 

And tomorrow's Patriots/Steelers game won't matter for the Texans. Not that the Steelers were going to win anyway.

[Maniac]

The Texans offensive line is a serious disaster.

[2006Coltsbestever]

How does any Kicker miss 2 extra points in a row? What a turd! I don't think that has ever happened in the history of the NFL

Think they ran it against the same guy too lol

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I am shocked it’s this close.

 

This game does mean a lot because if some miracle happens and the Texans would lose the last three games and we win the last three we win the division.

[teganslaw]

If Houston loses this game, the team will have to experience the wrath of J J Watt. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Houston has had the Football Gods on their side all year. Only against them a team could miss 2 extra points in a row. That is the most unreal crap I ever seen as far a team being lucky. They have won 3 or 4 games this season that were really lucky. It's amazing we beat them. Thank God Luck drew them offsides, had they got the ball back, Watson probably wouldve thrown a 75 yard hailmary for the win.

If the Texans lose and either lose next week or against Jacksonville, the Colts world win the Division by winning out.

[CR91]

Jets only down 1 going into the fourth. Cross your fingers

[oldunclemark]

DeShaun Watson really doenst like to throw the ball away..

..he tries so hard to make a play...….they eventually sack him

 

19-15 Houston early 4th..but its not over

[oldunclemark]

Houston has never trailed all night.  Not one second.

 

...So why are they throwing the ball so much???

Jets will probably have 1st Goal at the 1 Yard line with a chance to win and fumble and JJ Watt will return it 99 Yards  the way Houston pulls stuff out of their rear. Houston is going to win the Division anyway, we gave away that 1st game to them and that sealed it. I am more focused on getting the 6th seed because that is very probable. As long as we get in, it's all good.

Didn't someone write that he is guaranteeing a Texans Super Bowl win because their owner died?

That was Jared. He didn't guarantee it I do not think though.

[Maniac]

Damn nice play Sammy

[NFLfan]

Sam Darnold has Jets fans excited.

[oldunclemark]

Houston is rushing 3 and dropping 8//////They're going to lose doing that

Jets make so many mistakes...on offense...but its only 19-15

Jets will find away to mess it up. General Zod will probably blow some wind toward their Kicker.

[oldunclemark]

You cant challenge ref judgement...he ruled the play dead.....Jets had to get it on 4th down

[oldunclemark]

Darnold doesnst seem to see coverages..he makes a lot of  high risk throws

[oldunclemark]

22-19 Jets ..5:00 left,,that was a tortured drive..but they got 7..

[18to87]

I always want to see the Texans lose, but how lucky are New England? A loss by Houston would all but guarantee them a bye?
