Yeah. And? |
The DPOY, Mr. JJ Watt who has 84 plays resulting in a zero or negative yard loss.
Also Alan Ball has been officially ruled out, and Brooks Reed will start at OLB. |
 Whoa, that guy must be a monster!!!!

why is that considered "trash talk?" trash talk usually carries with it an insult or a demeaning sense of arrogance.
Fusco says he wants to do what the team does best - run right at the defensive line, to its throat. that IS what we do best. he's not even saying they will prevail in Texas, just run right at you.
that's talking trashy about another team? nor do i see a "lot" of it either, as you said. sheesh.
what do expect the guy to say, that the Vikes are a bunch of weanies and can't match up?

I agree. They aren't trashing us in any way.

Our WRs suck. Michael Junkins is good for 5-8 yard passes, Devin Aromashadow is no good. Its literally like throwing to a shadow. Stephen Durrrrrrrrrrrton can only block, not catch. He has no field awareness at all. Jarius Wrong is no Percy Harvin, and Jerump "really high" Simpson is no more than a #4 WR in the NFL, and thats why he's our #1. (There are 2 reasons why Jerome Simpson is Jerump "really high").
Other than that, we field a pretty solid team, minus QB, DT, OLB, MLB, Opposite Safety to Harrison Smith, CB, 2nd string TE and Tobias Gerhart.
This game will come down to who turns the ball over less, and when Christian Ponder is your Qb, you just never know. |

That post is genius.
I'd like to shake that man's hand for posting that.  
I'm expecting Houston to be really pumped up for this game. I'm glad there is no need to sit the starters. What fun would that be?
You guys have a great team, and its nice knowing we are both fighting for something now (considering a lot of people expected Minnesota to be eliminated weeks ago from playoff contention). Don't count us out yet!
Here's to a great game. Enjoy guys!

Hope we play hard and get a win. I don't care if AD gets 150 yards as along as we win. Im hoping at the end of the season he breaks the record. Im also hoping JJ gets 2 sacks so he is within striking distance to the sack record also. What a great day in store for football

Definitely want Watt to get closer to breaking the sack record, but the other two I really want more. I'm trying to wonder if they'll actually want to rest Watt for Week 17 or give him the opportunity to try and get the record if he gets close to it today.

We need JJ to have a monster sack game to stay ahead of Smith who has Arizona next week and I believe he had 4 or 5 sacks in their first matchup.

Screw College Station, Suddenlink, and FOX.
They're airing the Cowboys game here. Absolutely ridiculous.
