Texans @ Eagles

[flaccopoe]

What are your thoughts on this exciting Thursday Night Match-Up? What the Texans lack in defense, they more than make up in offensive firepower. They're still a major contender in the erratic AFC South.

Iggles take it... Vick goes dogtastic on the Texans!

I don't really care as long as you bless us with your wonderful Eagles play-by-play.

You really had to request it? It's Flacco "Automatic" Poe you're talking to here

Hey wait a second... The Texans get a week and a half to prepare for us? Damn. Join the club. The club of teams that get an extended amount of time to better prepare for their Ravens game.

Speaking of, I just watched Jay-Z's "99 Problems", which has a dogfighting scene, which I don't remember anyone complaining about.

The big question is can the Texans defense put forth a good defensive performance two weeks in a row? I wouldn't be surprised if they do honestly, but considering they're on the road on a short week and playing against Vick and co. not some no named Rusty Smith, I'd say their defense doesn't show up.

No offense OP, but how can you say, with their lack of defense "they more than make up for it in offensive power?" They're defense has lost more games than their offense has won, as shown in their losing record.

Damn right! I spit knowledge like a flamethrower!

I need Arian Foster to do big things for [b]fantasy football[/b]!

I also hope my man Andre Johnson owns Philly's DBs.

There you are again with an emoticon.....

Sorry, but ridiculous play by play is far from knowledge, but to each his own (I'm trying a nicer approach these days)

I would hardly call stopping the titans with Rusty (is it the Rusty from natl lampoons vacation?) A defensive victory. They could focus on cj and nothing else.

Doubt they hold vick and co., can only hope to keep up.

Why that's ... self-plagiarism!

Does anyone think the Texans' shoddy run defense can contain Vick?

Don't the Eagles have a running back for them to worry about or is the entire team just one giant Michael Vick?

The question is bogus. Vick is not going to be scrambling unless he absolutely has to. When he does have to, it means the Texans did something RIGHT, so why should we focus on what they CAN'T do in an extreme case?

I don't know about that. Vick gets happy feet a lot.

[Ed_Reed20]

Houston's run D isn't the issue. The Texans better hope they can find a way to contain Jackson and Maclin.

Now that I think about it, you're right.

[Jamal]

The Texans have a historically terrible pass-defense. Vick should be able to eat them alive, and end the game by half-time.

I still see my guy Andre Johnson having a great game though.
