Official Texans @ Jets Game Thread, 10/8/2012

I don't think the Jets are as bad as they're coming across. They are 2-2 afterall. But I do think they are a team that cannot play from behind. I am also a little worried because a wounded team can sometimes pull together. The last 4 weeks I have scoffed at the nervous on this site, but this week I will not feel good about the game until it's done.

Also I hope I don't see Tebow in this game. He is a terrible QB but a definite wildcard. I'd rather take the slightly less terrible but far more predictable QB we are game planning for, then have to worry about broken plays and sandlot football.

Respectfully disagree. The Jets are a mess, really from top to bottom. With the loss of thier lockdown guy, they no longer have a pass rush. Looks like I was wrong about Kyle Wilson too, as he hasn't shown many flashes from the times I have seen him.

How many teams trade away thier starting LT 2 weeks before the season?

I liked Hill coming out, but not as a #1, which is what he is now that Holmes is out.

Sanchez......Tebow.....don't really need to go there. We haven't faced either with a competent DC, so previous records don't mean much, IMO.

By the end of the season, I would assume Tannebaum is fired, and Rex's seat is blazing hot as well.

Again, just my opinion, but this "should" be another game we roll by 20.

I love that this game is on Monday Night, and I don't mean that because I care as a fan about whatever national attention this game will get necessarily... I mean it because I think the Texans players will not be looking ahead to the SNF game with the Packers since this is their first opportunity this season to perform for a national audience.

Had this game been a typical Sunday noon start, I might be a little more concerned. Instead, on MNF, expect the Texans to come out on fire, jump ahead, and keep a multiple-TD lead into the fourth quarter.

Wow, I like to be optimistic, but also, any team can beat any team, just takes a few fumbles, guys hurt, so on.

Anyways, should be a good show on MNF.

I'll predict Texans win 28-17, just a wag.
