YES!!! FACT!!!!

It will be disappointing to those Texans fans watching on TV, but those of us in attendance.......... We'll rock the house!!

You gotta remember though, that was back in 04. Our fan base then was no where near what it is now. IMO of course. I think Reliant will be packed with Texan fans with a fair amount of packer fans

Because it's five national games AND Thanksgiving! Woo-hoo!!!!



FIVE NATIONAL GAMES AND THANXGIVING!!!!!!

LOl. Just messing with you man.

[Naiirb]

Coming off our most successful season and the Packers game being the only night game at Reliant i think its say to safe it will be packed by our own fans. Question is what do they do with the roof, open it for the presumably nice weather in October or close it for more noise?

Doppleganger:

You gonna' need to come done with some rare blood disease that puts you in the hospital on Thanksgiving Day.

Or, you could go to the store for groceries and suddenly have amnesia and end up at a sports bar! Now THAT would get you out of in-law duty on Turkey Day.

This way, you can sit and watch the game. If you need help concocting a scheme, let me know. I got a million of 'em.

What do you think the Texans record will be?

I've got them losing to the Packers/Lions/Bears/New England/Denver and 1 division game for a 10-6 record.

I usually don't like to get into predictions, especially 5 months before the bell rings, but if they're playing anywhere near the same type of defense as they did last season, they've got a chance to beat any team on that schedule. The key is going to be the QB play, I think. If Schaub is good to go (with the D), they're Super Bowl contenders without a doubt. Can't convince me they wouldn't have been in the SB last year if 8 had been healthy.

I could see them going 12-4. How about 5-0 going into the GB game? I think they lose that one. They'll lose a couple more during that 4 of 5 road stretch (Det, NE maybe), and then they'll have that stinker against somebody they should beat. Probably a division game. 5-1 in the division though, I'll take that.

I think I have more Texans games circled on my calendar than I do Titans games at this point. There are a lot of match ups any football fan should be eager to see.

[DocBar]

One thing I've noticed is that the Texans are definitely getting all the love in the NFL world. They are on every "best games of 2012" list I've looked at. At least one of them has 2 Texan games. Winning cures everything.

[Bulluck53]

And they play a style of ball that is appealing to every type of fan.

Finally...

I can't wait to watch the texans vs New england game.... could be the AFC number 1 seed match-up,

I can already hear the boo's for Mario.

But that kinda stuff doesnt bother Mario, right?

Strength of schedule is a bunch of hogwash, imo. Subtract the Colts record and it jumps us near the middle. I'm pretty sure the Bears would've won a few more with Cutler. IMO, this schedule's pretty tough.

He actually thinks he will make it to week 9 of the season? I'd use that as the over/under for him.

I'm sure he will have a strained groin, a bum shoulder, turf toe or something to excuse himself from not showing up on the stat sheet that day. Duane Brown will have a good time keeping him out of the backfield and letting him run 10 yards past the QB.

Also, if he is actually playing that week, don't forget to make the "Mario is SOOO Awesome!" thread to ruin his mojo.

I wish we could had atleast another prime time game at home. But beggers can't be choosers. Excited for this season.

[gwallaia]

I bet Mario gets a nice reception from the crowd.

I tweeted basically this, this morning. ^^^^^

A lot of Texans fans were tweeting @bbwolf90 (Marilou Williams) and busting his azz for that tweet.

[DonnyMost]

Judgment day... more like "lack of judgment" day... signing with the Bills, really?

I would prefer silence, from the crowd, when his name is being called.
