Coming off a bye? No way we take this game lightly. This coach and this team are grinders, they will be focused on this week alone. Not worried about this game as a trap at all
If you only go by statistics, that is a valid observation.Not so sure about the running game being proven just yet. We have had 107/77/195 yards against the 30th, 31st and 21st ranking rushing defenses in the past 3 games. Fortunately the Texas are 32nd. Need more buck fifty games against teams in the top half to confirm the running game as fixed.
lol, reminds me of Dave wannstach.... put lobster all over the locker room and boom we lost against Vikings I think....Coach Mike should focus less on the game plan and more on bringing a large lobster trap into the locker room.
This will help the players understand it's a trap game...
A trap game for which team?Yes, I know they are just the Texans, but this has the makings of a trap game.
1. We were on a nice roll of wins, hopefully the bye week didn’t dampen that momentum.
2. We play the @49ers right after and I know MMD circled that game as soon as the schedule came out.
3. We are at home after a bye vs a pretty mediocre team, hopefully we can stay focused.
4. The Texan historically play us very well even when they were/are a dumpster fire.
Now none of this means we will lose, but I think this game could be a lot closer and nerve wrecking than we think.
Some peoples "nerve racking" is another person's "thrill seeking".As long as they win by even one point, I really don’t care how nerve wrecking the game is.
I would usually think so, but this team has a different energy. But I could see how our guys could fall easily into thinking it would be a walk in the park since Houston is not a great team.
