Fine you want it, here it is. Know there will be a very short leash on anything not related to this game. Noon Sunday on CBS Announcers are Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf. <HR> UPDATE: <a href="http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?p=6338883#post6338883">Post-game analysis starts here</a> -- Final: Texans 17, Steelers 10
Please, Wade, come up with a game plan for Mike Wallace. I know Joseph will most likely be on Hines the whole game, so I hope Manning or Quin constantly have help over the top on Wallace. I'm somewhat expecting a high scoring game. Texans 31-23.
worried that the steelers will be playing with a big chip on their shoulder and come out fast and furious. Their line is the suck, but if they spread out the texans and provide any time to pass at all, it could be a long day for the secondary. I'd like the texans to run often early to eat up clock and wear down their D.
Steelers -34 Texans -24 Really hope Im wrong... Our physicality problems wont solve itself against the most physical team in the NFL...Bullyin at its finest
Today is the first day of practice for the week. Lets see if he goes full speed without any set backs.
Steelers are beat up, especially on the O-Line. They'll be a good team when they get some players back, but this is a chance to take advantage of a lucky break. Texans 24-10.
Hope we get lots of pressure on the weak O-Line of Pitt. Most teams problems with Pitt's O is when they get through the line they can't get Ben down in one shot. I think our guys are big enough to get it done with one tackle. Rashard goes for 97 yards, but Texans win easily. 28-14.
Im expecting a bounce back game for the defense. Just need to do our best to contain Wallace. I'll give him his 8 yard receptions, but those 40+ yarders are daggers. Its critical that we get consistent pressure on Big Ben...I think that'll be the key to the game. We'll get our points, its just a matter of keeping their offense in check, which I think we should do.
Pass rush and turnovers will be the key. We traditionally have struggled against really physical teams but their offense is pretty bad right now. I am expecting a win and I feel a loss, unlike what I felt last week, will send us spiraling in a bad direction.
Texans will run the ball effectively in the 1st half. Steelers will try to pass themselves back into the game (and succeed), but we'll hit Roethlisberger enough to cause turnovers that seal the deal. Not a high scoring affair, but we win. 17-23
It would make more sense for Kareem to be on Hines...given that he's slower and more physical than Joseph. Kareem on Wallace would be game over.
