What Texans Fans Are Saying

[Panther53521]

The lack of national media reporting on the Panthers is the reason we get these fanbases with all the outrageous claims

[Snake]

Having a QB controversy and playing our secondary is not a good match up. The only thing im worried about is the same thing I worry about every game... Shula. 

[Peppers90 NC]

Bring on the ignorance, like Jax they'll know soon enough.

there will be plenty of ignorance on this board to go around. truth is, no other message board knows the other team better than the home team's message board, even with hard knocks on this texicans team.

[Ivan The Awesome]

They say we're fuged without Luke Kuechly. We beat the Jags without Luke Kuechly. lol. 

 

Like I said in another thread, the Jags are just as good if not better than the Texans. The Jags have the advantage of having a QB. Bortles will be a decent QB once he gets it. The Jacksonville D held us to one TD on offense. Shut down our Running game as well. The Texans D is just as good if not better but the Texans don't have a QB. They have amazing wide outs though. something jacksonville had. But the jags are a young team that is on the rise. The Texans have always been stagnant. They are middle of the pack and the only way they can win this is if they shut us out on offense. Which, unfortunately is possible with our current offense. Shula will have to be more creative and the players execute...I think the Defense will have to score again to jump start this offense. If Keek isn't back that's fine, I think the defense can handle the texans offense. 

 

13-10 Panthers, Gano game winner. 

[Dunn]

AJ Klein is a good servicable ILB.  Him paired with TD makes him instantly better.  Thats IF Luke can't start.  Im not worried about our Defense, offense is more of a concern then anything.  

[Bartin]

I am always somewhat surprised by other fan's lack of general football knowledge, but then I must remember that that such ignorance is cherry-picked. 

Bingo, you could easily find the same level of blind homerism and ignorance here or on any other teams message board and then generalize an entire fan base with a few cherry picked comments. I guess it makes for a fun discussion though.

I'm not so worried about our D, even if Luke doesn't play**.  Obviously I hope he's ok to play, and Star too.  But really what may make or break this game is our OLine.

After looking legit in preseason, it was a bit rough on Sunday.  Not only do they need to step up their play, but even worse, with Daryl's injury & Chandler's, we are THIN at OLine.  Our only backups are Silatolu & Scott. Yikes.

Daryl's injury, while not as bad as it could have been, is really tough given that we only kept 9 Oline guys this year.

**I mean just LOOK at what our D did in the 2nd half against the JAGS.  Just Awesome!

Houston's D will be the toughest or 2nd toughest we face all year behind Seattle's. I expect Luke to pass the protocols and lead a turnover feast against a team that has 2 starting QBs, which in football math means they don't have 1, along with no Arian Foster and no Andre Johnson opposite DeAndre Hopkins. Texan fans will say WR Nate Washington had more yards (105) than Hopkins (98) so our secondary should watch out. Pffft. Josh, Bene, and Peanut ain't sweating that WR group.

Calling a defensive slugfest won by Gano. Gonna be a lot of conservative play-calling from Shula and that's the smart move. Game will hinge on which offense screws up less and takes better advantage of turnovers both defenses will give them. We can at least threaten in both running and passing. Who does Houston have at RB now? Exactly my point

their dline is the only good part about their defense. The rest is garbage. Cam should be able to pick them apart even with our wrs

[Devil Doc]

The Texans is my 3rd Favorite Team.. They were decent last year. The Defense will be tough especially since the Offense hasn't melded together yet.

all it takes is a good front...you can play w/ garbage on the back end.  Houston D is better overall than the Jags...and they matchup better against our O.   We flat out play right into their defensive strength.  That ain't gonna be pretty.

Punting and not turning it over easily could decide this game....and I don't think either team has an edge.  Will just be about which team doesn't turn it over when things go bad.

Which is exactly why I give the edge to us.  Cam > Mallet/Hoyer.  Close game.  First to double digits and whoever wins the turnover battle wins this game IMO.

If Luke has to miss a game, this is one of the ones to miss.  Houston's qb problems make them much less of an offensive threat.  He needs to be at full strength when the Aint's come to Town. 

[Woodie]

Much like Jacksonville, we are the better team.  However, the OL hasn't quite come together and injuries are a concern.  Offensively, they really don't have much for us.  Hopkins is good, but with two less than mediocre QB's throwing him the ball, he shouldn't be enough to beat us.  And with Foster out, we should be able to control their run game...especially if Star does in fact play (albeit likely with limited snaps). 

Defensively, I expect they will put pressure on Cam.  But I think the receivers will have chances to make some big plays.  So, it really comes down to them catching the ball.  If Olsen wouldn't have been called for the questionable PI, and Ginn had made that easy TD catch last week, we all would be talking about how good the offense looked and that they can't overlook that side of the ball for us.  And as always, Cam is the X-factor in the run game.  Designed runs are ok, but it's the improvised ones that can break the back of a defense.  I don't know how disciplined their defense is, but if they lose gap control at all, they could have a very big problem on their hands.

with the exception of 2 or 3 guys, they are way more respectful to the Panthers compared to most teams we play every week.
