Default Official Texans vs. Titans Game Thread, 10/1/2017

The 1-2 Houston Texans host the 2-1 Tennessee Titans this Sunday at NRG stadium in an early game. The Texans are coming off a 36-33 road loss to the New England Patriots. The Titans are coming off a 33-27 home win vs. the Seattle Seahawks. Big game (yes, they're all big) for the Texans as they can't afford to go 0-2 in the division.

This may not be the game for the Texans to try to go mostly with the run. The Titan front seven is very strong but they seem to have vulnerabilities in the secondary (26th in passing defense). OTOH, the Texan defense can expect to see a lot of the very good Titan run game....

I understand the Saints and Dolphins will join together and make black power salutes during the national anthems while claiming they mean no disrespect to the flag or the queen.

I say we open a firehose on them, what do you think? Maybe burn a couple of goalposts.

Man, the networks used to show commercials during the National Anthem. It has now become an event...

Who's standing? Who's kneeling? Who's assumed the lotus position and is going "ommm"?

Jeez, I don't care - just give me the ballgame...

London has turned Muslim so I'd expect they might be thrown off tall buildings like the Muzzies do with gays. Or, I suppose, they could just behead them.

Back in the States, the Texans will find it tough to stop the Titans' running attack. Tennessee is soft on pass defense so will they try to open it up with Watson?

When you have established that your QB is willing AND ABLE to be you with his legs the defense has to account for him...opening up running lanes...looking good offense...

It feels so weird...its like you are waiting for something bad to happen...lol...keep it up fellas
