Houston Texans

[houstonsemipro]

I'm sorry but I have to say this. The Texans SUCKS! Their looking horriable against Tampa Bay, and that's the Texans first team offense and defense. And for David Carr? Jesus! Please, stop cutting your hair, cause I think you lose your stength when you cut it.

Please don't say this is preseason, cause whatever they do in the preseason will follow in the regular season.

For real, I don't see the Texans winning a game the way they been looking the pass 2-3 weeks. The first two games I predict 0-2 during bye week, then they come back facing the Bengals, and the Bengals are no pushover.

The Texans have along season ahead of them. Alot of fans will be unpleasant after this season is over.

[brijonmang]

dude SHUT UP seriously...the preseason is hardly a look into the regular season....the starters play for all of 3 sets or so i dont know what your problem is but you switch sides more than a game of tennis

[hokieone]

I also tend to agree that preseason is not the best indicator, but they did look awful tonight. Offensive starters were still in late in the second quarter with a grand total of 4 passing yards. Defense looked apathetic. I know its not a real game, but some things are an indicator of the real thing, and not being able to stop Chris Simms is not the best sign of things to come. No pass rush at all. I can understand losing preseason games because you are trying new things and I can understand playing the bench, but this late in preseason you shouldn't look this bad. Not to mention even if it is the bench, some of these guys are playing for their jobs, so it gives you an idea as to how the depth is. My prediction is the Texans finishing third in the division behind Indy and Jacksonville. Preseason predictions are usually worth about a nickel at the end of the season.

[houstonsemipro]

I agree, hokieone. Texans will finish third in their division. The Texans pose to look like an playoff team, instead they look like an expansion team all over again. David Carr threw two interceptions, same as he did in Dallas.

My prediction of this season is the Texans will not be in the postseason. They will fire the head coach and some of the offensive staff, and bring in a new offensive staff to take the Texans in their first postseason. Moreover, the new head coach will look more into David Carr. If they see that he can not lead he's team to a playoff spot, they will bring in another vertern quarterback to take Carr's spot.

It will take a new head coach to take the Texans to their first postseason. Dom Caper's and company? No. Not a shot. I can't even see they reaching the .500 mark this season. Looks like they falling back instead of moving foward.

[hokieone]

Wow that was a suck fest yesterday. I know, just one game. But there was not one part of the game that went well for the Texans. About the only thing to say at all positive was keeping Buffalo out of the end zone early in the game. I'm still at a loss as to how Chris Palmer has a job. Run out of Cleveland for sucking as a head coach, hired here as an offensive coordinator. Now has a 4th year offense going backward in terms of progress.

new season, same problem, no protection for Carr, no receivers besides Andre Johnson. Don't understand why they think things will just get better without making personnel changes on the offensive line.

[RedScare]

I think you might ought to consider that maybe Carr bites, too. QB rating was a whopping 12. Glad I didn't watch the game. I was watching my new favorite tam, the Saints.

Red I'm once again in aggreement with you. David Carr is overrated, he doesn't make wise decisions, and yes even when he's got the time to throw. Another thing that drives me crazy with Carr is the fact that he has very little touch on his passes. As a guy who played split end in high school through my senior year, I hated playing with quarterbacks who through the ball hard when a nice touch was required. A nice touch not just to catch the ball but to increase the rythem of the run after the catch.

I don't think Carr is inept but I do think he needs a much better QB coach. As far as Palmer is concerned, I don't know one person who thinks he's competant enough to run the Texans offense let alone any NFL team.

Someone kidnap Tom Brady and bring him to Houston.

[houstonsemipro]

Next time y'all will listen to me. What they done in preseason, will follow in regular season.

I predict that the Texans will be 0-2 during bye week, and coming back in the 4th week playing the Bengals, they will lose that also, with the record 0-3.

The Texans will fall back this year instead of going forward.

Overall record for 2005 season 6-10 or 7-9, and say bye bye to Dom Capers and staff after this season. Next season, David Carr's job will be pending on the new head coach.

[Dream]

The Texans suck. I'll see you guys at the game on Sunday.

Dream

[houstonsemipro]

I tell you one thing. David Carr need to stop worrying about his damn hair, and start focusing on football. He's letting to much fame go to his head, and he can not focus.

[houstonsemipro]

This is so funny! The Texans sucks again against the Steelers, which I already know they was gonna lose. They look like an high school team trying to win their first game.

The Texans need to fire the coaching staff, and possbile David Carr as well. They're 0-2 going into bye week.

[nmainguy]

Clearly Carr and Capers once again were not told today's game would involve playing the game of: FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...but what are ya gonna do? It's all we have around here-the poor saps

[RedScare]

GO SAINTS!

[houstonsemipro]

Saints gonna fall too. The Saints always look good in the first half of the season, then drop down doing the second half.

So far, I hate to say this, but, the Cowboys look damn good. We're find out what can they do against the Redskins on Monday night.

Ah, yes. The Irving Cowboys [soon to be the Arlington Cowboys]..."America's Team"...

I didn't say they won't crater. I just said I'm rooting for them.

I'm just glad I sold my season Texans tickets. I wonder if the buyer feels ripped off for paying full price?

[houstonsemipro]

Much I talk down about the Texans. The Texans will always be my team. They have a good enough team to reach the playoffs, but they have alot of issues to iron out, starting with the head coach.

The Cowboys are America's Team, cause they always find away to bounce back from an horriable season.

[Heights2Bastrop]

Last week I had 4 tickets to the Texans game, and stupidly left them lying on the seat of the car while I ran in Home Depot. While I was in there, someone must have broken into the car, because there were 8 tickets on the seat when I got back.

Sorry, Heights2Bastrop. I didn't realize that was your car.

[hokieone]

One ironic thing about the Texans. From day one they talked about a blueprint to essentially avoid having a situation like the Browns, who ended up firing their head coach and got rid of most of their first round picks after a few years, and were still nowhere near competitive.

Well, looks about the same here. Is David Carr any better than Tim Couch at this point? Chris Palmer, fired from the Browns, will probably be fired here. Team is nowhere near competitive, personnel problems are all over the field, and not one piece of the team stands out as being where it needs to be.

So much for that blueprint.

[houstonsemipro]

Damn! I'am good. I told y'all they need to fire the offensive coordinator, and my dream came true today. Next up, Dom Capers.

Texans fire offensive coordinator Palmer

HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans fired offensive coordinator Chris Palmer on Monday following the team

[ToolMan]

I don't understand promoting the O-line coach - we probaly have the worst offensive line in the NFL. Is it the players or the offensive line coach? Capers is blaming everyone but himself.

[nmainguy]

Someone needs to tell Capers the fish always rots from the head...

[houstonsemipro]

Oh beleive me. The owner and the GM have Capers number. Dom Capers, just keep losing the rest of the games. You will be along with your buddy, Chris Palmer in the unemployment line.

[KimberlySayWhat]

I don't know much about football. How come the Texans suck so bad and can't win?

[west20th]

I don't know much about football. How come the Texans suck so bad and can't win?

Good question. If the Texans knew they wouldn't suck so bad and they'd be winning.

[houstonsemipro]

Texans lost again this time to the Bengals. The Texans is going to be another Oilers. The fans will not show up for games, and it will be alot of boos in the stadium.

The Oilers was going down hill until Earl Campbell came on broad. Someone, or something have to uplift the Texans. They played better last year, then this year.

Texans are now 0-3. Next week Titans comes to Houston, then they got the Clots. Titans and Texans, that's a toss up game, but I truly think the Texans will win and get their first victory for the 2005 season.

[TJones]

Texans have to get an offensive line together. You can't have your QB getting sacked 7 times a game, and him stay healthy, he's gonna get hurt. In the same respect though, I think Dave holds on to the ball in the pocket wwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy too long. Get rid of the pigskin son, find a target already.

[Jeebus]

They just got rid of Chris Palmer.. give them time.

[Heights2Bastrop]

I came home on leave in 1970, and my mom gave me a couple of Oilers

[TJones]

They just got rid of Chris Palmer.. give them time.

You're right They do have a new Off.Dir. but jeez louise, those guys are supposed to be professionals. I personally think I could hire UT's line right now to give up less than 7 sacks a game.

Edited October 2, 2005 by TJones

[houstonsemipro]

Give them time? How much time they need? Week 8? Week 13? or better yet week 17? If they don't have it by now, they never will.

Enough is enough, and to much stinks!

"Get rid of the pigskin son, find a target already"?

Hell, get rid of the pigskin holder.

[Jeebus]

You all need to calm down. Championship teams take time (and luck!) to build. We just got rid of one of the biggest problems: Chris Palmer. How can you expect any offense to do anything when its coordinator is blind?

[houstonsemipro]

I truly beleive the Texans won't even reach the .500 mark this year again. My prediction... 4-12 or 6-10.

[TJones]

I'll take 6-10 out of this squad.

[RedScare]

Look at the bright side. The offense, in one week, improved its scoring production 43%! They went from 7 points a game to 10 points a game.

Still glad I sold my tickets.

[houstonsemipro]

If they lose Sunday against Titans. They can kiss the baby for this season.

The only Houston team that I'm really proud of is the Astros, and the Rockets. I'll be tuned in Wednesday's playoff game... Astros vs. Braves!

The Texans are a joke. I'm glad to see that yesterday was a moral victory in that they "looked better" and were "competitive" uh, its season number 4, those moral victories were fine in season 1 but not now. This give them time adage is not really valid at this point, especially since despite high draft picks for all their drafts, there is still a lack of talent on the team. Even firing Capers doesn't do much, because the team is still the same. The OL is still the same bad one it was yesterday. The mess isn't going to get any better "with time." It'll take some excellent drafting and free agent pick ups over the next two seasons to really have a deep and strong team.

[houstonsemipro]

Okay, you can stick a fork in the Texans now, they're done. They lost to the Titans which leaves the Texans an 0-4 record. Seahawks is up next, that's 0-5. After that week is the Clots, that's 0-6.

These guys are... I'm just speechless now.

..go 'stros!

hehe..

[houstonsemipro]

..go 'stros!

hehe..

Yes. GO ASTROS! Astros going to the Championship! I'm so excited for the Astros. To bad the Texans won't see a championship game for along time.

[TJones]

Yes. GO ASTROS! Astros going to the Championship! I'm so excited for the Astros. To bad the Texans won't see a championship game for along time.

Hmmmmmmm, so it really did take 5 games for us to beat the Braves. On with the show, 'Stros are for real people, I just hope they keep focused.

[Talbot]

Yes, I went to the Texans game today, it was a big shame and quite a waste of money, I would have much rather of been at the Astros game with my Brother.

It's pretty bad that people get more excited seeing the Astros score at the game on the TV then the Texans. They even cheered for the Astros at the game. We left though in the third quarter along with a lot of people, I felt quite bad for the Texans.

Carr get's way too many sacs, its time we trade some players IMO.

[hokieone]

My predictions -

1) Texans end up with the number 1 draft pick next year - See ya Carr, time for the Matt Leinart Show.

2) Casserly is fired - GM has built this team from scratch, still has about 0 talent, no bigger playmakers than when they started except Andre Johnson and maybe Dunta Robinson

3) Capers is 50/50 shot of staying, if Casserly gets a repreive, than Capers is gone

I would get rid of both of Casserly and Capers, but don't think McNair is that aggressive. Titans have more talent than the Texans and all their player are pretty much in their 1st-3rd seasons. They pretty much already rebuilt in two seasons time after going through salary cap hell.

[gto250us]

they're only a rookie team. I think they're doing pretty good, sure they mess up in the last half and that pisses me off sometimes, but were what in 4th place or something?

Given the amount of money that is poured into the NFL, to ALL teams, there should be NO crappy teams. It only goes to show that there are too many teams given the number of good players available. Houston never should have been given a new team once they let the one the had go.

The city didn't let the Oilers go. The owner attempted to blackmail the city and county for a new stadium and we called his bluff. He stamped his feet, held his breath and waddeled off to Nashville.
