Yes it is, And im riding with it. Out of our remaining 8 opponents, only one team has a positive Points scored/Points Allowed differential. That team would be the Bengals, who we play on the road. Other than that, This should be a good game for stat stacking. I look for us to hold Chris O and the remains of the Browns run game to under 75 yards. They rank 27th in Rypg and only gained 66 last week. On top of that, Even with Kjax starting, the Texans has the Best Defensive Pass completion percentage in the entire League! .....The Browns are ranked 20th in Pypg. I think that this game will end up being one of our best defensive performances in Texans History. Texans 27 Browns 3 (FG made off of turnover)
This has the makings of another Oakland game. ANY NFL team can beat another NFL team on a given day (Rams/Saints). If the Texans take this one for granted (a pattern) they will lose. Colt McCoy will have tons of fans at the game and if he starts rolling (I know, unlikely) the crowd may go Longhorn. Therefore, PUNCH the Browns in the nose early and keep pummeling them. Should be a relatively uneventful 6-3, BUT these are the Texans, and anything can happen like 5-4 and the beginning of the November collapse.
I think the Texans run the ball a lot with Foster and Tate. Cleveland struggles to put points up so we get comfortable playing a conservative game. Final score looks closer than people watching the game would tell you it was. 16-10 Texans
I get you with the whole 'take every game seriously' bit. But, the Browns are NOTHING like the Raiders team that beat the Texans a few weeks ago. Not even close. Nevertheless, the Texans should come out looking to put this one away early. Cle - 6 Hou - 31
Only in the sense that EVERY NFL team can beat another on a given day. No, the Browns aren't likely as good as the Raiders, but they are not going to come in here and lay down. Put it away early is a very good idea.
Revenge for what? The Texans treated him incredibly well. Gave him a shot as a UDFA, which led to him getting noticed by the Browns. I seriously doubt he has any hard feelings towards the Texans. Everybody knew it was going to take an injury to one of the other 3 for him to make the team.
Stop yelling at me. The Texans record when I watch this year: 3-3 When I don't watch: 2-0 (I missed the last two games because of vacation) I'm back to watching again this week, but I just don't think the Browns are very good. If we don't win this one, we're back to where we've been the past few years (an up and down team that can't consistently win), though we'll still be in the playoffs. Texans- 34 Browns - 10
If Dre is back this should be a laugher. Our offense has been pretty limited without that deep threat, yet they've still managed to get the job done.
Heres another classic John McClain tweet McClain_on_NFL John McClain The Texans never could beat Vince Young. Now they play another former U of Texas QB: Colt McCoy. Can they beat McCoy? for those of you that follow him on twitter over/under on how many times he calls the offense or defense pathetic or uses the word stink during the game on Sunday?
