Darren Sharper: Texans Were Not Exposed

[elmack]

These guys are coming up with all kinds of excuses on why the Texans lost the game. "They faced a team that was hot and they were not focused".

This is the same mofo who rips us even when we win!! How biased can you be. I believe we do have our flaws, but to rip the Texans when they've been blown out twice. GTFOH!

[J-Wall]

Just wait when they get to Atlanta all help will cone loose. Actually the 2 Texans losses should be a concern. Getting owned by 2 really good teams GB and NE both of those games were not even close. At least ours were division games.

My preseason prediction was Falcons over Texans. Both teams seem to be having a similar season.

[Knight of God]

They are in the same exact position we are. Trying to find their identity while having some success, most of the time.

I'm as critical as anyone with how we are playing. That said, the double standard is absurd. The Texans have been spanked twice now. Absolutely leveled. We have lost by a combined 2 TDs all year.

It's insane. Schaub ished the bed, and nothing.

While we have won a few close ones, they eked them out in overtime and against the same quality teams we have.

The media strikes again with their Golden "Double" Standards.

I know I am going to need a frame suit for this one. But I say this now the Texans aren't a force like all would think. And I do think we can beat them. And they were crushed in those loses.

Compare their to loses to ours is crazy.

They lost to two very good teams.

We lost to two very bad teams. You can use the it was a div. rival thing if you want. But they are bad teams. Granted each were on a small roll but still bad.

Right, teams who we also beaten.

[falcons007]

Every team has strengths and weakness, the team which exploits the weakness and stops opponents strength will most probably win the game. Lots of SB champs went 3-2 or 2-3 in december and still got it done. Texans can be scary on a day when things go their way so can Falcons or other teams.

The Texans remind me a lot of the 2010 Falcons. Their pass rush is better, but other than that they're VERY similar.

Double Andre, focus in on stopping the run game and you've bottled up their offense. Get a couple of quick scores to go up 14 points or more, and they have no answer. Same thing with the niners.

Just checked in on the houston texans board to see what they were saying after a brutal loss:

Disgraceful. We are the Falcons. 11-1 but lose when it actually matters.

Also, at this point, why not just let Forsett carry the load. Why risk injury? I mean it doesn't Arian has done much but slip and fall down here lately anyway

....****. I guess they don't think too highly of us.

I love it. All of the haters, bandwagon and fickle fans are showing their true colors on and offline. Every week it's something new. I tell them to keep them coming. I won't call them out when business is taken cared of. I'll just ask them "what's the next bulls*** that you'll cook up next?"

[Desert_Falcon]

The wife and play a game.

Guess what the excuse for losing will be for ????

[Da Bird is Da Word]

So we're exposed when we beat the Panthers by two points, but the Texans aren't exposed when they lose by 35? Huh.

[Izo#2883]

Its subjective opinions. We prove Them wrong on the field.

[Guest Negatorris]

Well at least we won't see the two teams we lost to in the playoffs.

Usually the Falcons lose to the playoff teams, and beat the weaker teams. It's the other way around this year.

[Joremarid]

was this the same team that barely beat jax in overtime and needed a gift from the refs to beat the lions?

ah yep .. . that be them

the texans were exposed FOUR TIMES this season . . . what is sharper talking about?

[Thiccolas Cage]

Pure bias. I mean HELLO!!!! we are talking about Sharper here.

[samtown7]

Just butt hurt because the saints sux.

Yet we get "lucky" and they "find a way to win" SMH

[dirtybird2k5]

It's cool. I'd rather be lucky and win than to get OBLITERATED on national television. Fact: I'll ride that luck all the way to the Lombardi.

In our defense, both of ours were on the road. They got blown out at home. We are undefeated at home. And we did beat both of the teams that beat us.

I'm not saying we are better for those reasons. I am saying that the reasoning people use to definitively say we are worse is seriously flawed.
