On To Houston: Playoff Practice/Info Thread

[farn]

When was the last time NE had only one player on the injury report this late in the season??

I miss the token Brady w a shoulder BS Bill used to run for seasons at a time.

 

[Mack Herron]

That's a quick downgrade to #5 there.
Still #3 in my book.

Floyd did made a couple of good plays in his first game but its still one game.
MM had a great second part of the season, gained a lot of trust from TB.

The ? is how much the knee injury affects his play and confidence.
He did bounce back from injury greatly earlier this season.

Yeah I didn't mean fifth best, just that there are 4 healthy WRs who I think will play ahead of him. We will see tomorrow whether BB thinks a healthy Floyd offers more than a "limited" Mitchell. I'm guessing Mitchell is inactive, but it gets more interesting for the remaining games.

Texans feel like a different team than they were last time vs. Patriots

 

[The Brandon Five]

Even though it's IR, IR players should be counted on injury reports.

For instance, one could have 4 of 5 main players on IR, and yet have a "healthy" team.

With Gronk out that's a major hit to the "health". Same for Seattle and GB with Thomas and Nelson respectively.

Last year didn't they have like 16 or 17 on IR?

Osweiler's tightly contested/ throws that travel greater than 20 yards downfield:

"Perhaps nothing better illustrates Osweiler's struggles than the disparity between his short and deep throws into tight windows. Osweiler actually completed 64.4 percent of his tight window throws that traveled less than 10 air yards, which ranked second among starting quarterbacks. However, his 10 percent completion rate on passes that traveled over 20 air yards ranked 30th among starting quarterbacks and his 17.9 completion rate on passes between 10 and 20 air yards ranked 31st. If an Osweiler throw was heading down the field and into tight coverage, you needed more than a wing and prayer to hope it ended completed. Osweiler's eight interceptions thrown into tight coverage was tied with Carson Wentz for the league-lead."

Yup. Sure sounds right to me.

 

[Tony2046]

What is the status of J J Watt? What is his wattage?

Edit, just learned he was on ir, saw him running warm ups last week so i assumed he was not on ir!

It's tough enough to keep up with the Pats let alone any other team.

I can't remember a playoff team getting more disrespected than the Texans. I mean every where you look on TV and the net... everyone is chalking this game up to be a blow out.

The Texans certainly have "No one Believes in us" rant that is actually true.

Yeah, I'm not terribly crazy about the storyline this week, although it's certainly understood and to be expected on some level.

 

[SVN]

Its almost gameday and my nerves are ratcheting up. I guess its the spread and storylines which worry me.

If you're anything like me, your nerves are going to be shot no matter what. Just think--this is one of the "easier" weeks that we'll likely ever see in this situation. Next week would be much worse.

I am more nervous when everyone expects pats to win . I imagine scenarios where osweiler throws deep bombs on us :-D . if pats were an underdog or a 50/50 game i would be less nervous, relatively speaking of course .

Curran: Texans win would be one of biggest upsets in recent history

is the stat giardi mentions in the end true ?

The new strength program, with some help from Lady Luck, is churning out some pleasant results this season.

does general andrew luck know that dearest abigail is consorting with the enemy???

 

[luuked]

And there it is..

 

[long distance]

And there it is..

So I guess we have our inactives for tonight:
Brissett, Waddle, Foster, Coleman, Richards, Cy Jones, Mitchell

With Danny back and JJ showing solid backup potential at CB (slot and outside) I doubt Cyrus will get a nod over Grissom who became core STer, Karras who backs all interior OL or even Lengel who is the only other TE . showing some receiving potential recently..

 

[Mike the Brit]

I feel like a **** for thinking this, but Mitchell being out is kind of exciting because that means we definitely see Floyd.

Yes, you should.

 

[Ring 6]

And there it is..

My son refuses to where his gronk jersey any more because he thinks gronk injuries happen when he wears it. He also has an amendola that he got Danny's first year here so that hasn't worked out so well on the injury front. A couple of years ago he got a chandler jones. Last year he got a Jamie Collins.
For Christmas he wanted someone with a long remaining contract, young, will be here a while and healthy. he got Malcolm Mitchell. He may be a jinx.

You do realize it's time your son starts wearing other teams jerseys ..

lol
He actually wanted the Brady Michigan jersey but I couldn't find it in time.
Almost every game we go to we see someone (I think it's the same guy) wearing it and he thinks it's cool.
