MNF Saints vs. Raiders: Week 2

by

It’s the first game in the so-called “Death Star” stadium in Las Vegas, NV. Kickoff is 7:15 p.m Central Time. With what’s likely to be a low volume of comments, I think it’s OK to use GIFs and embeds etc. Have fun.

Postgame analysis by SI.com writer Matt Galatzan. Nobody knows exactly what Blacklock did to get ejected, but JJ Watt said it was dumb/stupid/selfish of Blacklock so there ya’ go. Gilly might have a concussion. Things are GREAT. Next stop: Heinz Field vs. the 2-0 Steelers.

Texans Lose: Back To The Drawing Board
By Matt Galatzan

Excerpt from the article: Through two weeks defensively, they have given up nearly 400 yards rushing, almost 800 yards of total offense, and 61 points. 

Offensively, they have failed to find any consistency in the running game or in the passing game. Recievers have struggled to gain separation, and run blocking has been suspect.

In pass protection, Deshaun Watson, who the Texans just paid $40 million per year, has been sacked eight times and taken 21 additional hits on 76 dropbacks. And that doesn’t include the hits he has had to take on scrambles and other runs. 

On Sunday against Baltimore, all those issues were exacerbated, and at times, it was brutal to watch.

Texans DE J.J. Watt on DT Ross Blacklock’s ejection: ‘It was a stupid play’
By Mark Lane, TexansWire.com

Excerpt from the article: Amid the 33-16 defeat, with 4:51 to go in the game, Blacklock was hit with an unnecessary roughness call after running back Mark Ingram was stopped after a three-yard gain on first-and-10 from the Houston 17-yard line.

It wasn’t apparent what Blacklock did to get disqualified. Coach Bill O’Brien said no explanation was given to him by the officials, and he would have to review the film to see what Blacklock did.

Texans FB Cullen Gillaspia was finally activated after being out for Week 1 (hamstring) and in the Week 2 game vs. the Ravens might have suffered a concussion. RT Tytus Howard left the field but returned a play or so later.

AFC South Standings after Week 2:

Titans 2-0 (Next Game: Sun. 9-27 noon CT on CBS (away) vs. Vikings
Jaguars 1-1 (Next game: Thur. 9-24 7:20 p.m. CT on NFLN (home) vs. Dolphins)
Colts 1-1 (Next game: Sun. 9-27 3:05 p.m. CT on CBS (home) vs. NY Jets)

1st Qtr. Ravens vs. Texans: Week 2

2nd Qtr. thread will post with roughly 2 minutes left to play in the 1st Qtr. NEW: All game threads will remain open. In GAME THREADS, please follow these guidelines:

  • trutxfan if he’s on, it’s customary for him to be the first comment of the Pregame thread and the 1st Quarter thread. I don’t make the rules on this, it’s how it’s been and how it will be. THIS IS THE WAY. If he passes the baton to someone if he can’t be there for it, then so be it.
  • No GIFs, no uploaded photos, no embeds of any kind, no links (except for the Boyce situation, see below for details). If I see it, and I’ll be watching, I’ll delete it.
  • Text and emoji icons are permitted.
  • Each quarter will have its own thread and will post when there’s roughly 2 minutes to play in a Quarter. Only in rare instances will a Part 2 be created if a Quarter is slow and comments are piling up
  • Overtime situations will always have it’s own thread. Always.
  • If you don’t migrate to the new thread, that’s on you. If Boyce wants to put a link to the new thread, it’s customary for Boyce to do that because some traditions should never die. If any of you want to post a link to the new thread then that’s fine with me. It’s no biggie if multiple people post a link to a new thread.
  • NEW IDEA: I’ll be leaving ALL GAME THREADS OPEN. You can migrate and move into the new thread(s) if you want, or hang back and finish up convos if you want, or drift around the various threads at halftime or after the game go back into each Quarter’s thread and have convos about things in those threads. Then I’ll close all the Game Threads down sometime the next day, except for the Postgame Thread that will stay up for a few days into the week.

Early Games Thread 9-20-2020

by

Hangout thread for the early games. The Ravens v. Texans Pre-Game Thread will post at 1:25 p.m. Central Time and the 1st Qtr. thread posts at 3:00 p.m. Central Time (Kickoff is 3:25 p.m. CT). Some rules (please read)…

Once the games kick off at noon, within this particular thread let’s transition into keeping it like a normal game thread where it’s just text and emoji icons (no gifs, no embeds)–This way the conversations as they happen during the early games can be easier for people to read and reply to.

The Texans Pre-Game thread will post at 1:25 p.m. Central Time, so any reporting of news such as twitter embeds, or embeds and GIFs of any kind, need to take place in the Pre-Game thread that will be open for about 2 hours before Ravens/Texans kickoff set for 3:25 p.m. Central Time. The 1st Qtr. thread will post at 3:00 p.m. Central Time.
