Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Open Game Day Thread--Houston v. Green Bay, Part Deux

Hopefully, we've seen a seamless first half from a returning Matt Schaub and blitzes out the wazoo from the defense. That, or by this time, I'm already ten (10) beers into the day and asking the Almighty why he does this to me every week.

Keep the dream alive in the Comments below.

Halftime Thoughts?

Schaub and the D look better than I thought they would. And Slaton is a god.

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

Schaub

About a wash. Not necessarily better than I’d expected, but not totally a killer.

I want my 9 points back, Owen and Kris.

GB very lucky to be in this game

If we can play a to-free second, we should cruise.

Except that they will have adjusted to our D, and we won’t have.

So we’ll lose by 13.

Slaton is coming into his own

He’s starting to shoulder the load – becoming a bigger and bigger part of the entire offense. He’s accepting the responsibility with the heart of a lion.

with me,

it’s because I can’t post in here when I’m watching a stream – virtually all of my bandwidth is eaten up by the stream, anyways. And so I only get to post in here when the Texans are being televised in New Orleans, which is a real rarity (this season, they’ve only shown the Rosencopter game on television, besides the Monday night game, obviously).

My favorite moment was when they were backed up at about the 10 in the 2nd quarter. Schaub throws two incompletions, and then Kubes has the balls to give Slaton the ball on 3rd Down. Stevie breaks one for 13 yards.

by Only_A_Lad on Dec 7, 2008 3:16 PM CST up reply actions
