Eli has looked HORRID, if we can disrupt their timing, then I don't see this game being a problem. Idk how their defense is looking though, anyone?
We managed to find our footing after that game (4-2 going into the bye week). Losing 8 out of our last 10 though was what killed us (and thankfully got Frank Bush fired). That being said, if we are going to hell in a hand basket again this year, I'd like to at least beat the Cowboys :grin:
Yeah, my mistake. I kept thinking they played in Arizona last week. Regardless, what they did last week shouldn't relate to what they might do this week against the Texans. They'll have a bigger sense of urgency being down 0-2. The biggest advantage for the Texans is having Watt against that terrible OL of the Giants. Keep pressuring Eli and Fitz has to continue what he's doing.
Hoping we stay disciplined and win in the trenches. This will not be an easy game on the road against a team trying to avoid 0-3.
Eli proves you need an elite qb to win super bowls. I hope we can put pressure on him or he'll torch us.
We are going to be seeing Watt lined up a lot at RDE, attacking Weston Richburg. The rook has been horrible so far at LG.
On the plus side... Watt is going to want a better game than last week. Never bet against Watt. Watch him turn up.
It's such a relief going into games this year and knowing that if we lose, it's not going to be because we were out-coached.
Texans romp on the hapless Giants...Texans going to New York/Jersey...Considering that JJ Watt had a subpar defensive game last Sunday, expect him to feast on that porous Giants front line. The Texans win. 24 - 13(late TD from Eli)
This...eerily similar to Kevin Mchale and the Rockets. Things can happen on any given Sunday, but so many times we were worried about how much of a detriment coaching was. Time will prove that the Texans made the right decision in cleaning house of Kubiak, Wade and Matt Schaub.
Watt going to go off on Sunday, after not gaining a sack last week he's going to dominate that O-Line and Manning.

I would imagine Rick will want to get Ankrah on the PSquad.
Lets presume that Tom Coughlin will design a scheme to do anything and everything possible to contain Watt... and force somebody else on this defense to do anything. Will need Brooks Reed to be more like he was the first game, and will need Mercilus to raise hell.
Apparently they were just waiting for him to get healthy. Meanwhile, some posters are going to be very upset about this... <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Texans cut LB Jason Ankrah and WR Travis Labhart.

A likely win, then the Texan have a good chance to go to the playoff. I know the coach make a big difference for a team, that is why I never care a team coached by Kubiak even although some people though that the team could win a big thing last year before the season started.
Regardless of who was hired afterwards, 2 of those 3 had to go (Schaub and Kubiak). I was indifferent about Wade, but it was over for the other two guys -- especially Kubiak so it was essentially the right decision.
