[Andy Hicks]

This will be pinned once the game starts

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

The Texans always find ways to beat the Jaguars. I hope the Jags don't take this team lightly.

great fake punt by Del Rio, Montel Owens runs it in for TD from about 40 yds out

I think he is the backup FB.

Would that count as a DEF/ST Touchdown in Fantasy Leagues?

My guess would be rushing TD. It was a 4th down running play right?

depends on your rules, but i would guess not -- it's really just a running play from an unusual formation.

Depends on the league's scoring rules...

I'd guess so. Never had to consider that situation before but I have the Jags D in today. That probably means I'm

 

[Txns8]

Any thoughts on Slaton thus far?

Any thoughts on Slaton thus far?

2 carries and 1 reception for 3 total yards, so far :X

 

[Onions]

Is Schaub playing as well as his numbers indicate?

 

[goldenchild]

What's going on with MJD? Only 2 touches?

 

[bostonfred]

How did the TD pass to Slaton look? Was it in the air, or a short pass that Slaton took to the house? Did he make any moves? Any thoughts on whether Taylor is going to continue to get a substantial share of the carries?

Split wide right and he ran a go route. The ball traveled 30 yards in the air and dropped in over the Jags CB. Nice pass.

Thanks for that. It looks like he's doing a better job running than Taylor, but they're about 50/50 on carries so far. Interested in any thoughts on this.

Slaton looks fast out there. I can see why they are high on him.

Great update. Now if Schaub could only find Johnson.....

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Garrard's decision making is horrid.

 

[Ghost Rider]

It's amazing how the Jags still haven't figured out that their chances of winning go up drastically the more F. Taylor and Jones-Drew touch the ball.

It's shocking. They are playing like they are an efficient passing team.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

It's about time.

 

[bonesman]

Schaub finding time to throw? Is the line playing good or is he being pressured/hit? I see Jax has no sacks thus far.

 

[Frank Costanza's Lawyer]

Anyone watching the game know what the story with Ryans is? Injury or just lack of opportunities so far?

 

[wonderdork]

Is Johnson even playing? What the heck is going on with him.

 

[ProBowler88]

they must have 3 guys on AJ all day. Anyone watching the game? Where is AJ?

Wondering the same thing...

 

[Travieso]

Questions/observations from first game viewed of these two teams:

Has Matt Jones looked this good all year?

Can/does Garrard throw passes longer than 10 yards? He just doesn't look fluid; although his passes are mostly accurate (and short)

Schuab has to be the slowest qb in the league; I cringe every time he goes back - no sacks today, but it appears his pocket crumbles on every play.

AJ is getting targets (a couple deep) but appeared double covered and not open.

short passing game looks good for Hou

I thought Enberg died 4 years ago - he and Cross are horrid announcing (and I blame Enberg).

 

[R Dizzle]

Contemplating dropping AJ for Walter.

 

[swirvenirvin]

Wow is Andre Johnson a bad fantasy player

 

[everydayj]

After starting both Taylor AND MJD, how frustrating is it to see two rushing TDs from the Jags and NEITHER being involved?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Nice pass to Andre there. Houston looks good today.

 

[One]

Where's MJD?

He's either horribly underused or that ankle is bothering him more than I thought.

 

[Jayrod]

Where's MJD?He's either horribly underused or that ankle is bothering him more than I thought.

I came in here to find out if he was hurt.He's not getting any touches.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Garrard is a great game manager. Nice job since they were down 24-20.

 

[Raider Nation]

NFL overtime rules are a joke.

Thank you.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Where's MJD?He's either horribly underused or that ankle is bothering him more than I thought.

Horribly underused.

 

[JAA]

In PPR leagues, Slaton is putting up points

 

[Lobary]

Slaton, Schaub, Walter, and Daniels played extremely well today. I don't know what the deal is with Schaub and AJ but they need to make time to rekindle the sparks. AJ's getting double coverage of course, but he's not catching passes (or Scaub isn't making the plays) he usually makes.

Slaton's performance today should quiet the skeptics who doubt his ability to be a starting running back. He played hard again, kept his legs moving, took huge hits, and popped right up.

Schaub was almost perfect today. He got the same kind of pocket protection against the Jags that he got against the Titans, but he showed good poise and pocket awareness, stepped up when he needed to run, and made accurate throws.

Sucks for us Texans fans that the schedule makers decided to end the season early.
