Open Game Day Thread--Baltimore v. Houston

Baltimore Ravens at Houston Texans, Nov 9, 2008 12:00 PM CST


Last year, your Houston Texans started 3-5. They then went out and won their ninth game. With Sage Rosenfels starting as their QB. An omen of things to come today when the Ravens invade Reliant? Or a mere coincidence? You make the call.

Leave your pre-game, in-game, and post-game remarks and pleas to the Almighty in the Comments below. The second game day thread will post at 1:30 p.m. CST, so continue the festivities there at the appropriate hour. GO TEXANS!

How does Sage screw up this drive?

I say he muffs the snap, recovers it, then tries to lateral it to Moates, but accidentally shovel passes it to Ed Reed.

this sounds like a fun game!

I say….he rolls out, slips, and when he lands he fumbles, and then an alien spaceship beams the ball to Ray Lewis, who stabs the ball.
