Official Texans vs. Bengals Wild Card Game Thread, 1/5/2013

We played it conservatively and it worked today. They knew the defense would dominate and Dalton wouldn't do much. Won't work against a Brady so as long as we play a bit more aggressively on offense and don't dig ourselves a hole again with stupidity, we can win that game.

Xcept for one play, really good game for Schaub. I'm thrilled that my Texans won, they've seemed to have lost their way in the last 4-6 weeks but this might be some redemption for them ?
Next week vs the Pats ? Sure, it's a really long-shot, but I'm thinking the Texans will be into the challenge, I'm thinking they will be fired up ?

Our OL protecting Schaub really well today, no sacks today, against league leading sack team with 51, was one of keys to game. nice to see our OL come together at the right time. hope it continues.

I recorded this game and I will watch my recording because I want to see most of all what was going on the with the Oline, who played well and who didn't ? I know that Ben Jones started at RG, but also Brandon Broods took quite a few snaps there. And yea, that was a big penalty against him in the RZ, but in general wonder how he performed ? Oh yea, didn't Newt go all the way at RT ?

I'm happy the Texans won!!! But this conservative play calling will only get us beat in New England.

I actually think that conservative play calling is fine if the Texans control the LOS and finish in the red zone. I don't think it will be absolutely impossible to win next week. Very, very difficult but not impossible at all.

Yep, re: New England, I'm thinking I don't expect anything close to what happened on their last trip there..... I haven't seen a spread, yet, but I expect it to be in the 8 or 9 range...maybe higher....

Tony Dungy on NBC doesn't like their (Texans) chances in NE but he's become an "opposite endorsement" person lately (i.e. fade his picks).... He's beginning to get on my nerves (and BTW, some people should never go with the shaved head look, Dungy and his taxi cab ears is one of those people)....

LOL! That is what I was thinking also.

He lost some credibility with me when him and Harrison gushed over Joe Webb and how great he is before today's game. They actually used the line "that's what makes Joe Webb special." Dungy was sure it was a good thing for Minnesota. Either he was just an NBC stooge selling the game or he had an agenda beyond football that would explain why he wanted Joe Webb to succeed so badly.

Either possibility resulted in a terrible analysis job.
