Have a little faith in yourself, Thorn. Remember our motto...You changed my thread title! Dude, the last time I did a game day thread, we lost. So i never did one again. You better hope all the Texans curses have been lifted.
In Thorns case I thought "Yes we can" referred to the next round of drinks.Have a little faith in yourself, Thorn. Remember our motto...
YES WE CAN!
Which just might happen today. I have Monday off, so I can actually drink beer this Sunday. Let's beat those kittens!In Thorns case I thought "Yes we can" referred to the next round of drinks.
Texans lead the series 2-0 over the Panthers.Texans aim to keep pace with AFC's elite
Why to watch
The Texans secured the AFC South (playoff picture), but surely want to retain a top-two seed, with Baltimore, New England and Pittsburgh also with 10 wins already. With all of the injuries they have suffered, however, it's easy to wonder if Houston starts to rest some workhorses down the stretch.
Inside story
Cam Newton has taken a step back in ball protection the past few weeks, and his poor decisions with the ball keyed Atlanta's comeback win a week ago. Teams have taken away more of the deep stuff to Steve Smith as well. T.J. Yates comes in sky high after marshalling a few Tebow-esque drives in Cincy last week to secure the division title. Arian Foster is averaging just 3.2 yards per carry in the last three weeks -- Ben Tate looks fresher -- and has also lost his first two fumbles of the year in that span. Expect Andre Johnson to rest that hamstring another week.
I hope that this gives no one on the Texans any solace going into this game. The past as a prediction from one season to another is essentially worthless.
Sort of wonder who wrote this up-to-date prophetic Quick Take. The "footprint" for this article shows that it was published 12/18 (today).Texans aim to keep pace with AFC's elite

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/preview?gid=20111218034While the newly crowned AFC South champion Houston Texans clinched their first playoff berth last weekend, coach Gary Kubiaks focus remains on what lies ahead.
Houstons immediate future, though, remains a little unsettled with news of defensive coordinator Wade Phillips temporary medical leave of absence.
Hoping to persevere through Phillips leave, the Texans look to extend their franchise-best winning streak to eight games Sunday against the visiting Carolina Panthers.

Damnit Thorn!!!!!!!!You changed my thread title! Dude, the last time I did a game day thread, we lost. So i never did one again. You better hope all the Texans curses have been lifted.
Hey, blame Lucky. He's the one who changed my thread title and made it the game day thread.Damnit Thorn!!!!!!!!
I hope it works! I haven't had one beer during a Texans game this season, and I'm not brave enough to stare down the football gods at this point lol.But, speaking of staring fate in the face, besides me doing the game thread, I'm also drinking on game day which I don't usually do. But, with tomorrow off, I'm gonna drink some beer and spit in the face of fate.
But, to appease the Football gods, I am making my usual game day meal of sliced sausages with potatoes, green beans, corn, and Seasame Chili oil.
Well, I can help with one of those.....I'm hungover and my AC is busted...and yet I couldn't be happier.
11-3!
I'm getting ready for the Superbowl....
I have some two hitta quitta....
About to go out on the balcony now. Ahh....love Texans Sundays.
He may be calling the plays, but I'm assuming Wade still prepared the game plan. I don't expect to see much difference.Guess we will see how herring is as a DC
Surprised that hasn't been mentioned in the media
