I agree it's a trap game. We must win it though. Vince Young is still prone to throwing interceptions, so we need to shut down their ground game, and force him to throw the ball. I hope that place is rocking. Represent Houston sports well! Texans 38 Titans 20
I ask you, why would the Texans have any reason to take the Titans lightly? 1) They got burned to a crisp by CJ earlier this year 2) Barely won 3) New QB for the Teatons 4) 3 game winning streak 5) We're playing for the playoffs If they come out with less than stellar effort (win or lose) then you can deport these bums to Tennessee too.
If we lose this game, in my opinion, we truly don't deserve to be in the playoffs. There is every reason for our players to be fired up about this game. There is absolutely every reason for Reliant to be rocking on Monday. It's interesting, because in my opinion, depending on the intensity this team show throughout the rest of the season, I think we have a shot at winning out. I could also see us in a complete meltdown, though.
The Titans are far from a "crap" team. They're healthy now and playing with confidence. Not to say that we shouldn't beat them, but we shouldn't be completely written off if we lose. We'd basically HAVE to come back and beat Indy if that happened. The Giants and Eagles, perennial playoff teams in the NFC East, lose their fair share to the lowly Redskins. Anything can happen in these division games.
Yeah but that whole division is on meltdown, so collectively they can afford it. We're already on a crapshoot for the wild card spot, so our balls are more to the wall.
Just can't see TEN stopping the texans with that horrid pass defense. Texans 34 Titans 17 Not a blow out...it'll be close til the fourth.
this ain't no trap game. if the Texans lose it's not b/c they took the Titans lightly. It's because the Titans made them their b****. Stop Chris Johnson and the Texans win.
It would be cool if the Titans could wear the white Oilers throwbacks but I think that's reserved for games vs. AFL teams.
No, I think the bye week came at a perfect time. We need time to get Dreessen and Casey accustomed to their new roles on the team, and it was obvious that our guys needed a break to get healthy. And there is no WAY this is a trap game.....MNF against our biggest rivals, in a must-win game for BOTH teams if they want to be relevant again this season?? That is NOT a trap game.
The Texans activated RB Arian Foster from the practice squad today. To make room they waived Jesse Nading.
Here is some Texans/ Titans PDF detailing the Monday Night football game: http://prod.static.titans.clubs.nfl.com/assets/docs/texans_titans_2009_b.pdf
This is a HUMP Game. This is a Getting over the HUMP Game. Alot of times. . .when the opportunity to Disappoint has come up The Texans have done it! This is a Getting over the HUMP MOMENT. [The next one will be in INDY] Rocket River
But that alone is taking the Titans lightly. We have to be prepared for not only big plays going through Chris Johnson but their improved WR core now with the benefit of a mobile QB, their defense improving with guys like Vanden Bosch not only playing with chips on their shoulders but for contracts next year and most importantly ourselves. We lost the Colts game because early on we were drawn into mistakes, we can't let that happen again on the bigger stage that is Monday Night.
Texans: 27 Titans: 24. Got my tickets, and can't wait, Reliant will be rockin. Hope the roof will be open, havent been to a game in two seasons.
