Jared hasn't injured one QB this season. He's only been fined one time this year........for taking out Bears' guard Lance Louis' left knee on a blind-side hit.......out for the season..........of course, this time he decided to pick on an opponent weighing 100 pounds more than Schaub.

Houston Texans ‏@HoustonTexans

The official roof report is closed for today's game at Reliant Stadium. Kickoff is at noon CT. http://bit.ly/Tgl1Gi

Noise is good!

Noise comes from fans. As the fans' enthusiasm goes, so goes the noise.

I still remember the Bengals play-offs game.
It was rocking after the interception by JJ Watt.

I'll take the great team over the great individual. We can beat teams in many ways. Hard to take them all away.

Inactives today:
Texans: G Antoine Caldwell S Quintin Demps CB Alan Ball CB Stanford Routt OL Cody White DT Terrell McClain T Andrew Gardner

Vikings: QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson, DE Brian Robison, OL Troy Kropog, DE D'Aundre Reed, CB Brandon Burton, WR Stephen Burton

Pleasant getting the nod over Demps it seems.

[GP]

I won't be here to ***** about Kubiak's ultra conservative game calling today.

For some, no...for MOST, that's a welcome relief. For those who are knowledgeable about football it's a tragedy that I'm not here to dissect his play calls. LOL!

Have fun begging everyone to not be negative about Kubiak.

[TejasTom]

Hope to not see AP down.

Maybe, but I think Demps also has some sort of injury.
We can use an on-the-box safety for this game, so Pleasant does make sense to start with.

Or maybe he just play a lot of special team.

He buried his head in the sand, they haven't been able to dig it out yet.

No injury since his broken arm which he added to a broken thumb back in the beginning of October. He's been off the Injury Report completely for weeks.
He's not playing because he's screwed the pooch one too many times lately.

Have fun whining all day while the Texans wrap up HFA.

McClain just pointed out that Ponder has 5.9 yds per pass.........AP has 6.3 yds per run. The Vikings are likely to stay with AP even when they fall behind. Less opportunities for JJ.

They are fighting for their play-off lives. They get behind by 2-3 scores they will have no choice but to go to the air, especially if we do keep AP some what in check.

[Goatcheese]

I'm so pumped right now. In a few hours we will officially be the #1 seed in the playoffs.
