Open Gameday Thread--Houston v. Atlanta

Brb_tiny by Tim on in News

Despite his best attempts to convince us that today is just another game, the contest that The Schaub has had circled on his calendar since the schedule came out is now upon us.  What will he do in his return to the Georgia Dome?  Burn it down and then salt the earth upon which it stood?  Or simply burn it down?  Decisions, decisions.

Leave your pregame, in-game, and postgame observations, hopes, and letters to Santa in the Comments below.

Remember the scene in Gone With The Wind, when Scarlett watches the house burn after Sherman came through.  That'll seem tame compared to what Arthur Blank will witness today.

Um, not that I've ever watched Gone With The Wind.

Hope you are right.

But I think this thing is going to be too damn close for me to enjoy.

As for injuries, for the Falcon fans, this is almost the perfect storm.

Too soon?

Kubiak needs to go to clock managment school.

You need two scores to tie. Kick the damn field goal on 4th down.

Sanders calls time out before the snap ..14 seconds disappear from the clock ? Am I wrong .. they should be put back on ?
