It sure wasn’t pretty, but the Texans are 7-1. 7-1!! I try pretty hard not to just come off like a cheerleader, but in no way did I ever imagine this team being 7-1 after some significant offseason personnel changes. I’m just kind of flabbergasted…. and of course giddy like a kid. I’m not able [...]
I sure have heard a lot of NFL types (locally and nationally) who have the Texans penciled in as a near lock for home field advantage in the AFC this year. Whoa now, lots of football left to be played. It’s not so much that I don’t think the Texans can hold up their end [...]
The Texans are back from their well-earned break. At 6-1, they are set to host the 3-4 Buffalo Bills, who bring a defense to town that could send us all into 2010 Frank Bush flashbacks. I mean, they are beyond brutal. The additions of Mario Williams and Mark Anderson to go with Kyle Williams and [...]
For reasons I’m not entirely clear on, the server that hosts this website has been blocking my access to it since Monday, thus – the chilling silence. But all is better (for now). You have an extra week before the next Texans game, so you can afford an extra hour (plus) to continue to celebrate [...]
They say the true test of a great player is how that player handles adversity. Well, that’s silly. But let’s say it’s not and if we apply that same logic to an entire team, we got a good idea of what the Texans are made of today. A week after getting embarrassed at home at [...]
News came down today that defensive lineman David Hunter, just added to the roster from the practice squad this week due to the Tim Jamison injury, suffered a toe injury in practice today. Hunter will require surgery, and doctors have apparently said it will be a three-month recovery process, which would effectively end his season. [...]
Seriously guys, keep Johnathan Joseph’s groin squarely in your thoughts. Think about it constantly. Talk about it with your family. Name your next child “J-Jo’s groin.” If you missed last night’s Battle Red Radio, go ahead and check out the podcast right here. It features myself and longtime friends of the site Rivers McCown and [...]
The Texans suffered a season-ending injury to a defensive player for the second week in a row. Backup defensive end Tim Jamison’s Achilles injury has landed him on Injured Reserve, which will put the D-line rotation into flux. Sure, Jamison is not a starter, but you’ve been watching the Wade Phillips defense long enough now [...]
Oops. Well then. So, as I figured they would, the Texans lost Sunday night. However, in no way did I envision THAT. You know how a lot of times, coaches, players and fans will be quick to point out the positives of a loss as something to build on going forward? The only positive I [...]
Coming off a stunning loss to the Colts in Indianapolis, the Packers sit at 2-3 falling quickly behind division mates Chicago and Minnesota who are both 4-1. Let me just get this out of the way right now. I’m going to pick the Packers to win this game, and I hate every second of it. [...]
