I didn't think we struggled very much except in the redzone. Of course, Miami struggled there, as well. Some fans thought they would be a pushover, but every team has those fans. Most Texans fans respected a #6 D from last season and had just witnessed them hanging 500 or so yds on NE. We knew they could pass, so we took that away for the most part. I think we'll try the same against the Saints. Of course, Brees ain't no Henne, so it's a bit riskier this weekend.

RaginCajun83

I thought I was being nice, I didn't have a 10 page thread attacking my fanhood

skymike

too funny!
aw no, that threads gone. It was supposed to be funny and smacky, but it wasnt received in the spirit it was meant-- too strongly worded, after I looked at it again, and misrepresented who I am. Mostly, it PO'd a lot of people who might otherwise have a beer with me.

Houston's been dissed too many times-- not getting the shuttle they deserved, getting ignored by the media,
and getting dissed by people who really do hate. I dont need to be lumped in with all that.

but geaux saints!

Well, first post....

This Texans fan is saying I feel the Saints have the upper hand in this game.

Here's my feelings, summed up on the Texans' forum:

"I would like to see a lot of two-three step drops from Schaub, hitting some quick slants across the middle. This should help againt the blitz...and nobody in the Saint's secondary will be able to cover AJ and JJ (if he's healthy) on those quick slants across the middle.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but this is a real time to need JJ healthy, because he could rack up a ton of YAC on these patterns.

I see the blitz packages going in the Saints' favour, because despite how well our line functions, they are still slighly suspect in pass blocking.

The Saints' O-Line appear to be better suited to pick up the blitz...though I could be wrong.

And, of course I'm worried about getting gashed up the middle by Thomas and Ingram.

Really, I favour the Saints in the matchup. If the Texans get those turnovers, then the Texans win...but only if the offense has a better outing than last week."

Of course the Saints have been my NFC team, since 1983. Me and my father would watch the Oilers play on television, and pick up the Saints games on short-wave. Good times. I've been for the Saints through thick and thin...except when they're playing against Houston.
