Official Texans vs. Ravens Game Thread, 10/21/2012

Just like us the Ravens are going into their bye week and since this game is already so important for both teams in terms of potential tie-breakers when home-field and all rolls around for the playoffs, why not throw everything and everyone you can at the competition in this game because it's gonna be a long 2 weeks before the next game ?

It was interesting to see Jacoby Jones make a 108 yd kick return last week, sure hope our return coverage doesn't let that happen.

I guess Texans will be fired up after the embarrasing result against Green Bay.

And hope JJo is back to normal self in secondary now.

Beat their asses, especially for what happened in January.

Thuggs is activated and, to make room on the roster, the Ravens have released OLB Sergio Kindle. If the name sounds familiar, Kindle is the former University of Texas star who fractured his skull in a fall down stairs two years ago and has hardly played since. He has no hearing in one ear and the Ravens were unsure how he would play with crowd noise. Didn't there used to be a player that was legally deaf a few years ago? I seem to recall a player from Nebraska like that who was an outstanding talent and they used hand signals for him.

Edit: That was Kenny Walker, Denver Broncos (1991-92).

My current interest in Longhorns football is roughly equivalent to my current interest in Astros baseball and for not dissimilar reasons but I can't help feeling a huge sense of sorrow for what happened with Sergio. That guy was a freaking terror at UT and I was really excited to watch him in the NFL. It's a real shame that he effectively never got to play.

Heading over to Sam's Boat to watch the game. Have we ever beaten the Ravens? Let this one be the first, just like it was with the Jets two weeks ago.

Nope, 0-6 against the Ravens. It's time to start cleaning up some of that stuff - Minnesota (never beat them, either, IIRC) is also on the "hit list"....
