Steelers - Texans

[RaynorShyne]

Early (4:30 EDT) game on Christmas.

Steelers are 11-3, smarting from the NE game, and banged up.

Texans are 4-10, and just got smoked 45-7 by Jacksonville.  Jacksonville was up 31-0 at the half.  

The Texans last win was Nov 19th in Arizona.  The games haven't been close.

The Texans are a one-trick pony.  THIRD string QB TJ Yates to DeAndre Hopkins .

In his last two games, TJ Yates is a combined 26-57 for  303 yards, 3 TD's and 1 pick

In the last three games, their RB has 41 carries for 141 yards.  An avg of 13.6 carries and 47 yards a game.

Hopkins is the offense.  92 rec for 1313 yards for the season.  Houston's next top receiver is their RB Miller: 35 catches for 317 yards.  The next receiver is Fuller:  25/396, but 7 TDs

In that case... Steelers 24, Texans 23. 

[Cali-Steeler]

Exactly!

[Crash]

Doesn't matter. They aren't winning the AFC with Todd Haley on the payroll running the offense.

We're no different than the Browns at this point.

Maybe we'll single cover Hopkins with a defensive lineman

unless those changes include a new defensive coordinator it won't matter

So, from what I've read over the last couple weeks; we need -

• A new Offensive coordinator
  
• A new Defensive coordinator
  
• A new Head Coach
  
• An entire set of defensive backs
  
• A replacement for Bryant
  
• Nix off the team
  
• Matakevich off the team
  
• Fort off the team
  

...am I missing anything?   The sky hasn't completely fallen yet.....

[Cali-Steeler]

Who ever wanted Harrison off... Has been granted > I don't think he will be back either as I think he's not happy

[Rollers]

This will be a typical trap game under these coaches. Book it

[Cali-Steeler]

BOSWELL FOR 3 AT THE END >

Good looking play calls so far. Nice play design.

[mcmillenandwife]

And a great run by Bell. Okay, red zone...

[mcmillenandwife]

And... a red zone stall.

 Sad but often true.

[Rollers]

[Rollers]

Nix is in

[mcmillenandwife]

Martavis coming up BIG today. Very nice.   Man, if we head into the playoffs with Bryant cooking and Brown healthy and Juju? Mmmmmm...

[Rollers]

THAT was a nice catch

[mcmillenandwife]

Great job by Ben! That is OLD school improv Ben! Congrats on the TD catch, Hunter! Way to step up.

[Rollers]

I was hoping to see three runs there and a field goal
