[Showtime100]

I don't know who starts these threads but if it matters you guys are .500, screw you....lol.

You are looking live at Reliant Stadium in Houston. Sorry, you say "Houston" and the state needs not to be mentioned.

wont have a better chance to beat them with freeney out

[Goatcheese]

Freeney is out and Peyton Manning is literally Butt Hurt.

[Austrian]

I'm not expecting much. These heartbreaking losses are starting to really get to me. I hope for the best though and I'll be able to watch this game on TV tonight. GO TEXANS!!

[Thorn]

It'd be nice to start a nice winning streak today, but I'm finding myself already thinking about what happens during the off season.

I'm still gonna cheer for my team though.

[ATXtexanfan]

Almost didn't come down from austin for this one. That titan game broke my heart. Got some liquid courage to get in the mood. Go texans

[SAMURAITEXAN]

Let's go Texans!!! Whip that pony's behind!

[Vinny]

I'm headed out to the game. Hopefully the mood will be elevated when I walk out this time. This game is the most important game ever.

[MannyFresh]

thats the spirit

One of the keys to this game is keep Dallas Clark in check...and put that pressure on Manning...make that baluga head scramble.

Dont get me wrong man, I'm as big a Texans fan as it gets. What I meant by that is I'm not gonna get all worked up and pissed if we lose.

Another key is that Kubiak feature the only "feature" back he has. If the offense falls flat with Chris Brown getting the majority of the carries again, that's on the coach.

Chris Brown averaged 2.5 ypc through almost three quarters last week; his "big" fourth quarter upped the average to 3+ ypc. If he is inefective for most of the game this week and is still getting the carries, stubborness is trumping in-game adjustments. This should be a moot point; Slaton should get the carries from the start.

Agreed. It is time for Slaton to get the carries again.

So lets go Texans!!! My heart has ended after a Monday night heartbreaker. I take no responsibility for anything I posted after that.

I know they are going to fight hard today and pull out a big one against the Colts.

[mattieuk]

Yes....short week means we can make up for Monday quickly!

Plus its televised here as well.

Come on Texans....season saving time!

Hopefully now that Freeney isn't breathing down Schaub's neck we can exploit the mismatch of an undrafted rookie on one of our WRs.

Go Texans!!!

Go Texans!!!

If there was ever a day to beat the Colts, it's today. If we can't beat them without Freeney, then we just aren't ready for prime time yet. Of course Manning is still playing so that's a problem as it always is.

[Buffi2]

This is the first home game I've ever missed. I just couldn't muster the energy for that long drive this morning. I almost feel like a traitor, but if they win, I'll get over it real fast.
Go Texans!
