**Titans at Texans**(-7, 38.5) 1:00 (2 Viewers)
- Thread starter Ministry of Pain

Never forget that Bud Adams moved the team from Houston to Nashville. There were a few tax votes for a stadium and they were voted down each time. No one wants to relive that part of the history. Titans say they wanted to stay. Texans say they were happy as is. For me, that's enough. It presents a conflict and no resolution so the team moved. It paints a picture, move on, better days ahead for each etc. Someone inevitably stirs the pot or a uniform stirs the pot and people's buttons get pushed. So far there's been none of that this week so it probably happens for the next game.
Bud's children have not been treated well/"well received" in Houston. The outside world sees it as "yeah you moved the team" but they see it as the place where they grew up and they were hugely generous with their money and lots of friends there and ...they're bitter.
More often than not, over the last eight years, a significant firing has come after a game between these two. This pattern- this intangible thing- is the biggest pot stirrer in sports today.
I think it was Josina Anderson- she had reports that there is something going on behind the scenes in the Texans organization.
The Titans had a rumor the coach would be fired but instead they had a meeting during which he gave up play calling. He said he gave up "design" too but also said he would be involved in "design." The guy who developed Joe Burrow and came from one of the best offenses in the NFL when he was hired (that has one of the best OL coaches for a father) essentially gave up what the public was told he was hired for.
Dead man walking, he's doing what the public doesn't usually discuss. He's managing and running practice etc.
He's also gotten very very involved with the defense.
Pause. Denard Wilson is a HC in waiting, up n comer type. Since coming from the Ravens, he has been a magician at getting the most out of players- even if it has to be UDFAs and late round players. The Titans led the NFL in lowest yards allowed much of last year and finished second despite a putrid team. He is often on the list as Callahan's potential replacement and yet he was his pick to be DC.
So Cally working with defense and there has been so much "what just happened" and they played absolutely awful last week. Tvondre Sweat told reporters he was playing and was put on IR three days later. Their best CB was traded for a sandwich to the Jets. Coach called out the defense for poor tackling and singled out James Williams. He didn't even take a snap and was inactive. Armour Davis was a CB they got from the Ravens and a supposed good one off the WW. Coach explained how he was pulled from the game on Monday and on Wednesday said he thinks he will continue to play well in Brownlee's place. The hypocrisy and almost destruction stirs a pot of conspiracy theories.
Originally there was a site that you could bet which game Cally would be fired. It went to you'd lose $ if you selected a Texans game or Vrabel game to then being removed to where people can't bet on that.
There is considerable expectation that Callahan could be fired after this. If they play as awful as they did last week, it's hard to imagine him keeping his job.
Derrick Henry ran all over the Texans and for a while had 200 yard games. The Texans didn't like that. Yeah running with a lead but be a good sport and pull the HOF back. Sooo all of above, plus they are 0-3 and looking for a turnaround game....they could try and score 100 this week and we could all be wishing the Titans bench Ward so they don't hurt him.
This lobbing a slow pitch to a rival could be sooo ugly as they smash it out of the park.
The Titans could play decent and Texans poorly and we're looking at two of the lesser teams. That feels so improbable. The Texans OL has issues but the Titans are the lowest ranked in most pass rush categories. They'll need a few guys to block Big Jeff and then Stroud should be able to set up a table and have a picnic lunch before passing the ball.
The Texans need to be careful about fines and having some class. All this juice sometimes brings out inappropriate behavior. It would be dumb to tarnish Demeco's reputation or to get suspended in a blowout.
For FF, I would watch the Texans "get healthy" and who they incorporate and how often. There's some likelihood there's a new main RB or key WR established or maybe they incorporate the TE moreso and ...I'd watch how they turn it around. It could be a sign of things to come for the rest of the season.

This feels like a game that's gonna be decided by who makes fewer mistakes, and I'm expecting both teams to make plenty.
The Texans secondary is banged up with Stingley likely out. Cam Ward should have some open WRs, when he's not running for his life, which will be often. You can run on the Texans.
Texans offense has taken a predictable step back from Slowik (thought he was an unfortunate scapegoat last year, who took way too much blame) I think even without Sweat, the Titans can shut down the Texans run game. They need someone behind Collins to step up in the pass game. Dalton Schultz?
I think the Titans pull off an upset. Nice game for Pollard his last week before Spears (presumably) comes back.
