Game #14 Carolina @ Houston 

Post#1 » by Rooster » Fri Dec 16, 2011 2:14 pm

Not sure what to make of this one. Houston's the better team, TJ Yates is playing well in their system, and they've won seven straight. Then again, it's tough to imagine the Texans continuing to win game after game. That's really not enough to get my money but it's something, I suppose. Hopefully Charles Johnson can give Yates some fits and we can run the ball a little.

Houston's just a really strong team all-around, with the only less than stellar ranking being passing yards, which makes sense given the lack of Schaub.

If our pass rush can get to Yates, we can win this one. But Houston is on a roll and they have momentum right now. And when Big Mo is in your corner, it carries you through a lot of tough games. I expect this one to be close.

28 - 13 Panther lead with 10 minutes to go. Cam solid with 2 TD passes, no Ints. Only 127 yards, so still behind Peyton Mannings Rookie record for most yards.

Big win! Cam is around 17 yards short of Mannings record. Next week will do it.

Loved this game. I ended up picking us in my pool with my roommate btw. :)
