Talk to me about the Texans. What do you know?

It should be a win for us.  But it's a road game, and a Thursday night where we historically suck.  Time to see if this patchwork offensive line can withstand crowd noise and stay composed. I'm more worried about how our young team faces a road game with high expectations than I am the opponent. 

Agreed, but except I don't think this team has a history of much of anything. The whole thing has been pretty be well churned over.

Here's hoping Thursday nights have better results than previous iterations of the panthers.

Their running game is the biggest threat, Mark Ingram, Phillip Lindsey, David Johnson are all capable backs who can gash you if you're not playing sound defense. 

If this was last season when we struggled to stop the run this game would have been closer than it should.

The Panther improve run defense upfront should be able to neutralize their running game and put the ball in the hands of the rookie and that's when we can force mistakes. I think we see a similar showing in the first half of our previous games and improve offense play in the 2nd half.

    • Tell me something I don’t know. I said right there in what you quoted I wasn’t optimistic. I said I could still be hopeful. Which ain’t the same but will have to do.  I have optimism regarding more compartmentalization aspects of the team. Some players. The good draft we had is cause for optimism. Maybe that Tepper is actually being less harmful. Maybe.  I had some for Canales but his meter is about 50% right now with me.  Etc
    • Got a little more juice in us this period. Gotta get these chances to start falling. Ducks and us keep getting these chippies that are missing. First team to start banging these in and I think the floodgates open.
    • The things that make people give up on him is that he is getting worse in terms of simple football things and he isn't improving on much in terms of being a WR. He has improved his drops but then he has increased his insanely boneheaded penalties. I mean, the dude has THREE false start penalties. That is the second most on the team.  Couple that with his obvious limitations in terms of field vision, agility, etc and you just start to wonder what there really is to even believe in. I'll put it this way, when such a notoriously terrible personnel management coach like Canales gives up on you, that's saying a lot. He has ridden more bums for longer than any of us care to remember.
