Cincinnati Bengals at Houston Texans Game Thread

PrintThe NFL Playoffs begin today. Opening the slate is an interesting game down in Houston. The Texans play the first postseason game in their ten year history against the upstart Cincinnati Bengals in a battle of rookie quarterbacks. These teams met in Cincinnati less than a month ago. Houston won a game in the last seconds. That was also the last game Houston won. The Texans dropped three straight to end the year, including an ugly defeat against the Colts.
This one could go either way. I give a slight edge to the Texans. I think a home crowd that has not seen a Playoff game gives the Texans an extra edge. I also like their fantastic defense and run game. They might be starting a shaky rookie quarterback, but they were a top two run game and defense. Remind you of a certain team from two years ago?

Got a lot of time for Dalton and A.J Green so will be watching hoping the Bengals beat the Texans.

I'm pulling for Houston. Here's why.
If Cincy wins, they go to New England next week. That means the Pats just have to get through Cincy and the banged up winner of what is sure to be a brutually physical Baltimore-Pittsburgh game to get to the Super Bowl.
If Houston wins, the winner of Pittsburgh-Denver goes to New England. That means the Pats probably have to get through Pittsburgh and Baltimore to get there.

In that case John B...I am now a Houston fan for today!!!!
As much as I really don’t like the Steelers, I’m going to have to pull for them also to go against the Pats
i only want HOU to win because i don't like the Bungles
Never thought of it that way

Would you guys want ot trade for Ben Tate?
And have a Tate\Greene RB combo?

Ground and pound team, relying heavily on the play action. Great way to carry a rookie QB
Clearly Schotty isn’t their coordinator.
I swear it looked like it was raining in there so much
but its a dome, so its gotta be something with the camera

Watching the effect AJ Green is having, I'm wondering if the Jets should consider trading up for Blackmon.
I know it’ll be incredibly pricey, and Jets should keep their picks and all. Probably not the best idea but still tempting.
We definitely need a tall speedster
Like they were saying in the pregame. Even when these types of receivers are covered they’re open.
Still think we should bring Braylon back.

If we can get him back, I'm all for it.
He may feel disrespected and all that though. Also the Jets may not want to be seen admiring they were wrong to let him go. Or may have a problem adding another malcontent. The old Rex will keep everyone in line argument no longer holds after this year.
Thing is, I expect he’ll be much less of a problem than Tone.
He's more of a team player than Holmes, a much better down-field blocker
why do they call Holmes Tone?
:D
I'd settle for Sanu as well there man is a tall beast.

Could be interesting if it's late first or early second.
Trade down from mid-first could help out quite a bit somewhere else too.
It depens how he is projected by the combine.

I do like Sanu, but if Braylon wants to come back, that’s a proven NFL guy and it allows us to focus the draft on other areas.

Houston
as someone pointed out earlier, the Pats would have to face the Steelers and the Ravens most likely in the next two rounds and given that they are walking abusive teams the Pats won’t last.

and then what did the texans do?
Grab a new coordinator for the problem side of the ball, get a few complimentary free agents, and voila, they have the #2 defense in the league. I feel like that could be us with the offense.
this.
a RT a good number 2 and a better mark sanchez plus a new OC.. and well def be in business.
do you think someone would try and pick up yates as a starter next year?
seems like a project, but especially a team like the Rams could use him to push bradford/ spell him when he always gets injured.
Man, I've only been actively watching the Texans a few weeks
but Antonio Smith and J.J. Watt are awesome.

I think if either of them didn't get hurt they may have had a bye this week

I hope Houston wins this game
Can’t stand the Cincy Bungholes
Love with a LEO is like a drug.. One taste and your addicted!
just wondering, when did Rex and the Jets have time to film that Pespi Max commercial
Maybe less commercials and more coaching would help Rex as well as his cover boy quarterback.
I don't have a problem with them shooting the commercial
It just sucks to have to watch it during the playoffs. If you think the media frenzy is bad now, it’s going to be crazy when they actually win a SuperBowl.

Hope it wasn’t during their failed playoff run

It had to be either after the playoff loss last year or right after the lockout ended
I doubt they would have time to shoot during the regular season but then again it’s Rex and the crew so ya never know.

I wish we could get this pressure on the qb
If we could do that more consistently, and get better safties, our defense would be NASTY
Wow, Pacman is a douche

Not every troublemaker is a selfish prick
I’ve never watched hard knocks or anything.

uh, no?
I called him a douche, and used the terms interchangeably.

All I was saying was that I knew he had a penchant for getting in trouble and had missed time on multiple suspensions, but not everybody who is a troublemaker is also a douche, which he clearly he is.
I never really followed the Titans or Bengals or Hard Knocks, so I didn’t know much about his character. With all I’ve heard about him though, it hardly comes as a surprise.

Got it
I can tell you he was on HK’s Dallas Cowboys and he came across as a pretty nice guy. I just think he’s a douche for wasting his talent and all of the opportunities he’s been given.

good for them
I wonder what their qb situation will be like next year
if he doesn't put weight on it for 12 weeks lisfranc has a pretty good prognosis
He wasn’t a mobile QB before hand. It won’t affect his play, IMO.
