Hello Texas! The first thing I would like to address is the Houston vs Dallas rivalry... I think this is more of a factor for the Texans and their fans, than it is for Dallas... I can see why the Texans and their fans could feel like the step-child... But as for myself, I've always liked the Texans, because I myself am a proud Texan, and I have respect for the name and the unique history it represents... Then there's the supposed rivalry between the two cities, I don't really go for that either... I love visiting Houston... Houston's just like Dallas, except it looks a little different, and it's a lot closer to the coast, which is cool... The Geto Boys, Scarface, SPM, and a ton of great athletes, I'm a big fan of many things Houston... The Texans are by far my favorite AFC team, and this current version of the Texans is quite good, fun to watch, and has a lot of likeable guys on it... I wish more of you would have just a little love for the Cowboys, if only because they're the only other team Texas, and they're not even in the same conference... We play once every four years, I'll hate the Texans for this week, but then I'll go back to rooting for them the rest of the way... Not that I don't acknowledge the rivalry, I do want the Cowboys to have the bragging rights in Texas, but I would never root for a team from New York or Pennsylvania to beat a team from Texas, never... Again, I would feel totally different if we were in the same division, or even the same conference, but it's once every four years...
As for the game... I think it would be hard to find two more evenly matched teams... It's funny that their strengths kinda mirror each other... You could say Johnson>Austin, Schaub>Romo, Daniels>Witten, Williams>Ware, and I could disagree with you, but I think we can all agree that those are all elite level players either way... Dallas might have slightly better RB's, but it won't mean much, because Houston definitely has the better OL... Dallas can't force any turnovers on defense, and they can't stop committing turnovers on offense... Dallas has only 2 sacks in 2 games, that's not gonna cut it against Schaub and Johnson...
Dallas is not looking good, and I know that can change from week to week, but I really don't see them suddenly getting it together and playing the type football it would take to beat a team like the Texans, and on the road no less... The Texans are too hungry... In years past, this would have been the game where the Texans would usually suffer a let down of some sort... But this year's team looks and feels different, they seem to have come of age now... This game will propel the Texans to the playoffs, and propel the Cowboys out of the playoffs... I think Houston will win big, but hopefully Dallas will nut-up and at least make a good game of it...
Good luck on an injury free game... Nice place ya got here btw...
