Thread: Houston

Very,very windy day here. Gust up to 50 mph. If this keeps up both teams will have to completely adjust their game plans. Could be battle of the run games.

Makes for a lot of running plays and short passes, could be just what we need to beat the Houston.

Yes, I agree. This would be in our favor. As long as Tice actually doesn't still try and throw it.

Thanks for the info, TP. What has struck me this year is how many teams across the NFL are struggling with their OLs. A few are truly awful. The Bears were in that latter category early on but have picked up into the "merely worrisome" zone lol. This game could easily come down to one play...a big sack, a key fumble, a RB breaking a big gainer, etc.

Agree 100%

Lookin' forward to this match up. This is where teams find out just how good they really are and what needs to change in order to make it to the show.

That's a big part of the problem! There is always something wrong with him!

Good evaluation. If the Texans flood the side that Tillman is not on, they might not have to defend on offense. "The Tillman Punch" is also a factor you left out. I guess that is in the "turnover" department. I have never seen anything like it.

I watched NFL AM earlier in the week when they did a piece on Tillman forcing turnovers. They focused on the hand/eye coordination along with speed and force needed to punch the ball out the way he does. He truly has a gift.

You broke it!! ;)

I will check in from time to time throughout the day but come game time I will not be on the Internet. Gotta focus on the game, beer, yelling, and clapping (and my wife says I can't multitask!) lol. So I will probably check back with y'all on Monday to discuss the game win or lose. Best of luck and hope both teams come out injury free. I appreciate the hospitality and great football conversation as well. Y'all have some great fans here!

Go Texans!!!!

Great fun having you guys here. Smart and classy football fans (unlike the a-holes from Detroit lol).

No matter who wins tonight, no injuries either side, a tough exciting game and...may we all meet again in the Super Bowl!
