Monday Night Football - Week 5: Texans @ Jets GDT

Personally, I always worry a bit about teams in the Jets situation as as bad as they looked, those are still pro football players over there and Rex will have their undivided attention for 7 days in practice. Their jobs and pride are on the line while the Texans are sitting with a 3 game lead on the division. I watched a Jets team featuring a reach of a rookie QB and rookie Head Coach absolutely punch the Texans in the mouth in 2009 in one of the most pathetic defeats in franchise history as far as I'm concerned & certainly Kubiak's worst hour with a woefully unprepared team. That wasn't exactly a stacked team either as the likes of Jericho Cotchery and Chansi Stuckey burned Brice McCain and Glover Quin and Thomas Jones and Leon Washington ran over a team featuring Cushing, Cody, Barwin, and Antonio Smith for almost 200 yards. As for the offense, the swat from Kris Jenkins says it all.

Sure, the Texans are a very different team from that one that had Steve Slaton racking up 17 yards and Chris Brown 15 and JJ Watt is the one delivering the swats these days, but I doubt many had the Vikings thumping the Lions last week, Chiefs beating Saints the week before and so on. Any given Sunday, especially on the road and against a wounded team on national TV with a team like ours that hasn't exactly experienced life on top very often. Yes, we should thump the Jets and it would behoove us to get up early and crush any remaining spirit and get the Tebow chants rolling, but we better not be thinking we'll walk into any stadium and not face a fight. We need to continue playing like grown ups and put the bad teams away because the following two weeks get really tough with Green Bay and Balt and 4-0 can become 4-3 before we know it.

Two words: Te-bow.

Jets roll, 41-7. Texans get routed on national TV, Stuart Scott says something annoyingly dumb, Chris Berman innundates us with constant "WHOOP!!!" sound effects, I can't even watch the game because the wife and I will be watching Homeland On Demand (it's a pretty boss show, you should check it out) Plaxico Burress shoots himself again, Rex Ryan comes out with a Megaphone ala some WWE star and talks trash to everyone in the post game presser, Shonn Greene goes for 302 and 4 TDs (while sitting on my damn bench) and...Te-bow.

Yet another reminder to me why national TV games suck, IMO. Just play us at 4:00 every Sunday. I can get things DONE when it's 4:00 on Sunday. You start messing with the time, I can't watch. If I can't watch, I get angry. When I get angry, I cry. Yes, I cry. I'm man enough to admit that. Don't you judge me, plebians. I'll tell my mom.

ET80, OUT!

Poor Jets, Santonio has the dreaded Lisfranc injury.

No Revis, No Problem. The Jets still have a good CB in Cromartie and he will be on AJ all game long. For what ever reason it seems that if AJ has a decent CB playing him then Schaub doesn't even look at him.

So Matt Schaub i know your out there, and ET80 i know your really Gary Kubiak, so listen up! 76 Yards!!!! 1st and 10 from the 20, throw it deep to Andre! 4th and inches on the 50, throw it deep to Andre! 1st and goal at the 2, run a punt formation, tell the QB to sprint backwards 30 yards and throw it deep to Andre!

I know all coaches and players will tell you that they dont pay attention to stuff like this, but lets get Andre his 10,000 on Monday Night Football in the largest media network in the country.

all in all i think the texans are too strong for the Jets, but lets not forget the Jets did destroy the bills and they somehow managed to outgun Ryan Tannehill. they rank bottom 3rd in offense and are 31st in rush defense. They do rank 4th in pass Defense but without Revis that takes a hit

Texans win a closer game than it should be 20-14

With Stephen Hill, Santonio Holmes and Dustin Keller all possibly out or limited, i kinda get scared thinking a lot of Tim Tebow, Shon Greene and Joe McKight might be a bad thing (see Chris Johnson)

I wanted to see Andre go up against Revis, even though Revis would probably end up winning the match-up once again. Crying or Very sad

Couple of key things which might not rear it's head this week maybe for next, but

1) Who plays the role of out highly used 3rd safety, Ball, Keo, or Nolan?

2) What do we do if Tate can't go this week? Does Kub trust Forsett or do we continue to pile on carries to Arians workload.
