Official Texans vs Packers Gameday Thread

no good

[Badgerinmaine]

They can't control Slaton today.
But, huge break on the missed FG.

[digitaldean]

Man was that an ugly half. We are SO freakin' lucky to be down only 3.

Schaub has almost 200 yds passing this half. PUH-THE-TIC.

[Freak Out]

My imagination, or have a lot of Rats given up on posting today?

No, you're right. Fair weather fans....

BS..its called life.

Huh? Sorry if I rained on your parade, but, where is everybody?

Parade? I don't care where everybody is...life comes a calling sometimes. Maybe they are at the game? Calling someone a fair weather fan because they don't post in a game thread is bogus.

Absolutely--if Daniels had scored the TD and they made a relatively short FG, we'd be looking at 20-7.

Oh, no need to rag on Tar. He's just fired up for football sunday.

Pack and Vikes down by 3....Bears up by 17.

Some ugly football... all the way around. Can't put lipstick on a pig...

Negatives:
Schaub has 200 yards.
Walter has 100 yards and a TD.
Slaton has 88 yards rushing alone (and at least 35 receiving).

In one half....

Positives:
Winning turnover battle (both by TWill)
Improved field position and punting by GB
Bishop playing well (sans last play)
Spreading ball around (8 receivers on 11 completions)

My adjustment:
-Give the ball to Jackson - sorry Grant, 9 for 33 yards isn't cutting it
-Mix up run/pass (1.6:1 ratio is too high for this weather) - take your shots downfield but make them count
-Pack is 0-5 on 3rd down --- have to improve on that
-Pack defense has given up multiple 3rd and long conversions (before today, Texans had ZERO)
-Spy Slaton if you're not already. Reduce the blitz packages and give overtop coverage to Walter.

Second thought... yeah ya can - they're only down 3.

[Freak Out]

The Texans have a good offense so it's not shocking that they are able to move the ball but our offense has stunk and that hold on the KR hurt bad.

[Gunakor]

Reduce the blitz packages and give overtop coverage to Walter.

I'd just start Rouse at SS to open the second half and put Woodson back on the corner over Walter.

[channtheman]

Um... That was a GREAT play made by Bush!

I'm thinking some of the good play from Harris, Woodson, Collins, and Williams is starting to rub off on him and make him not suck so much.

I agree for the most part. But I'd like to add this small suggestion:

Somebody PLEASE tell Aaron that it's ok to set his feet before he throws the ball, particularily on a bootleg or rollout play. I'm getting real sick of seeing him get picked off because he refuses to stop and set his feet. I don't see him being all that accurate when throwing on the run and geez, if you got protection set your friggin feet fer phux sake.
