Open Gameday Thread--New Orleans v. Houston

by Tim on Nov 18, 2007 9:45 AM CST in News

At approximately 3:30 p.m. CST today, one team will be .500. The other will be 4-6 (or .400, as it were). Regardless, everyone will still mock the Texans for not drafting Reggie Bush. So go the days of our lives.

Leave your pre-game, in-game, and/or post-game rants, thoughts, and love letters to Super Mario in the Comments below. And GO TEXANS!

Why is he returning again?

Also, fuck you, Vonta Leach.

Awesome

Andre Ware just said that, has Jason David not made the team flight, he would have sent a limo to NO to pick him up.

Dayne train!

I'm almost half-way to one fantasy point. Keep it up, big guy.

In televised game news

Mike Martz has gone to the sweatshirt look, apparently hoping someone confuses him with Bill B. How odd to have two movements--the dapper suit and the frumpy pullover--at the same time.

Wow, I felt gay writing that.

by MDC on Nov 18, 2007 12:08 PM CST up reply actions

Frumpy.

Good word. Do you also walk your poodle and watch Bravo?

We just got fucking hosed

They didn't review what Gary was actually challenging (down by contact v. fumble or no fumble). Mike Carey is a baby-raping cocksucker.

On the plus side

The last I checked, they still have Mare kicking FGs

Local channel

What's the name of the local station that's airing the game? I want to try to find an online streaming feed of the game. 610 Radio isn't giving me quite the same "oomph." Of course, I'll let you all know if I find anything.

Are we about to see aggressive end of the half play-calling? Please don't convert this third-and-twenty...

by Nashmeister on Nov 18, 2007 1:29 PM CST reply actions

IMHO

clearly. Carey's crews always calls an asinine game. They really are not that good.

by JBNJ on Nov 18, 2007 1:29 PM CST reply actions

Kubiak

needs to grow a pair. He's got to be one of the most conservative coaches out there.

by HtownJuggernaut on Nov 18, 2007 1:37 PM CST reply actions

I'd rather

Be up 7 than 4... it was a good call. If the play doesn't happen in the endzone - which is the only place it can go - and I'm fuckin sure Payton know it - the call to go for 3 instead of 6 was the right one.

by SOLIS on Nov 18, 2007 1:40 PM CST up reply actions

Texans had the time

for one fade to a corner of an end zone. Either it works, or it goes out of bounds. Chances of an int are very low on that type of pass, and we had more than enough time.

by HtownJuggernaut on Nov 18, 2007 1:43 PM CST up reply actions

But

you're right. In the end, I should be happy we at least put up some points.

by pweco113 on Nov 18, 2007 2:02 PM CST reply actions

Agreed

It's something I have to give Kubiak credit for. All preseason we all thought it was just a matter of time before Jacoby slid into the #2 role, but Kubiak stuck to his guns and it paid off. And, are we going for it here?

by Nashmeister on Nov 18, 2007 2:05 PM CST up reply actions

If by "going for it"

You mean "not getting 1 freaking yard behind the dayne trayne" then yes.

I didn't want to say anything, but I was getting a nagging feeling that we were going to lose this game if we didn't come up with a quick turnover and another score. Touchdown would be preferable.
