Minnesota Vikings @ Houston Texans. Noon. 12/23. **Official GameDay Thread**

[DocBar]

Am I the only one thinking Minnesota had 2 illegal motions on that drive? 2 players moving at the same time???

The secondary is looking pitiful.

 

[TexCanada]

Just ugly. Receivers are absolutely wide open. Not sure why we need to Blitz on every play.

 

[amazing80]

Defense looking bad early, not a good sign

 

[Hervoyel]

Brandon Harris can't play. That's just all there is to it. Wasted pick and a pity but nothing to do about it now. Just find a way to hide him or something I guess.

Gonna be a tough game. Hope we can pull a win out here. Vikings are here to play, we look tight.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Rudolph will kill us if we insist keeping 10 men up front with only one safety back to roam.

 

[Wolf]

Bulls on charade :wadepalm:

 

[TexanSam]

This teams defensive brain farts are going to hurt us in the playoffs.

Is Alan Ball still out? Maybe Harris can turn it around as he has gains experience, but he's stinkng it up this season.

 

[htownfan32]

What is with the running?

 

[Nawzer]

Our o-line looks pitiful.

 

[TexanBacker93]

Rudolph will kill us if we insist keeping 10 men up front with only one safety back to roam.

That doesn't stop AP anyways so its better to stay back.

 

[EllisUnit]

We are so damn creative with our play calls, i never know whats coming

 

[ChrisG]

Bad playcall, AJ short of the marker?

 

[EllisUnit]

Hell yeah need 10 get 4. LOVE IT !!!!!

 

[Naiirb]

Awesome, defense gets carved up like a Christmas ham and the offense responds with a 3 and out.

 

[Mr. Texan]

typical 5 yard pass on 3rd and 8+

 

[Pantherstang84]

Segway anyone? How about a letter jacket?

Is it me or is Schaub starting to look like Capt. Checkdown?

 

[G27RR]

That doesn't stop AP anyways so its better to stay back.

Yep.

 

[ChrisG]

typical 5 yard pass on 3rd and 8+

At least we havent seen the 3rd and draw yet

 

[TexanBacker93]

have we had a good offensive 1st quarter this season?

 

[htownfan32]

YAY great punt! :vincepalm:

 

[Austrian]

What is it with those passes for 2 yards on 3rd and 10.

 

[amazing80]

ugh :vincepalm:

 

[kiwitexansfan]

I think that Schaub has taken us about as far as he can.

I would like to see what a Matthew Stafford could do in our offense.

 

[dtran04]

Time to start the bootlegs every other play. They are selling out HARD on the run.

 

[EllisUnit]

Not feeling so confident anymore . Most games it appears the texans didnt show up to play.

 

[TexanSam]

What the hell has happened to our offense the 2nd half of this season?

 

[htownfan32]

Well, if it helps us feel better... Jacksonville 10 NE 0.

 

[EllisUnit]

Time to start the bootlegs every other play. They are selling out HARD on the run.

That might work, sooooo why would Kubiak do that, DUH

 

[legacy_gt]

gotta make some adjustments.

 

[Mr. Texan]

defense sellin hard on the run and the vikes are just exploiting that

 

[TexanBacker93]

Well, if it helps us feel better... Jacksonville 10 NE 0.

Not good for us. Pats could still get the 4th seed and potentially come here in the divisional round.

 

[ChrisG]

D woke up a little

 

[EllisUnit]

Not good for us. Pats could still get the 4th seed and potentially come here in the divisional round.

Might be what they are aiming for

 

[Pantherstang84]

Hey a stop!

 

[Textan]

Predictable play calling strikes again. Don't really blame Schaub, but there's got to be other receivers besides AJ.....

 

[TexanBacker93]

Nice stop. Time for O to put 6 on the board.

 

[legacy_gt]

bring the damn pats on our homefield.

 

[EllisUnit]

Nice stop. Time for O to put 6 on the board.

2 possesions, so 3+3 = 6. Yeah its def a possibility

 

[Pantherstang84]

On the bright side our cheerleaders are still hot.

 

[TexanBacker93]

Might be what they are aiming for

That's my fear.

 

[kiwitexansfan]

Predictable play calling strikes again. Don't really blame Schaub, but there's got to be other receivers besides AJ.....

Does Schaub look for other receivers than AJ?

Rodgers, Brees, Brady, Manning these guys make WR look good because they are good QB.

Schaub not so much.

 

[EllisUnit]

Does Schaub look at the Defense before he says hut, there was 5 guys stacked the box to the right, oh lord.

 

[TexanBacker93]

Does our line know how to block?

 

[legacy_gt]

Predictable play calling strikes again. Don't really blame Schaub, but there's got to be other receivers besides AJ.....

i don't mind predictable play calling if it's executed correctly. dream shake was predictable but couldn't be stopped.

 

[76Texan]

Ye with little faith.

 

[kiwitexansfan]

WR have to make Schaub look good because he is a back-up at best.

I think that is overstating the case.

Schaub is a middle tier starter..... but he is not beyond being upgraded.

 

[TexanBacker93]

Daniels hurt. Please be a stinger.

 

[amazing80]

Predictable play calling strikes again. Don't really blame Schaub, but there's got to be other receivers besides AJ.....

Disagree, the first series ended because Schaub forced it to AJ when Posey was wide open on an out route near the first down marker

 

[TexanSam]

i don't mind predictable play calling if it's executed correctly. dream shake was predictable but couldn't be stopped.

That may be why we're struggling this year. We're running the same plays but because teams are slowing down our running attack it slows every thing else down.

 

[TexanSam]

The Texans gave him a four year extension. He's not going anywhere
