Open Game Day Thread: Houston v. New Orleans

Houston Texans @ New Orleans Saints


Fresh off last week's stirring victory that meant absolutely nothing in the standings, your Houston Texans tangle with the team that was allegedly going to take Mario Williams second overall in the 2006 NFL Draft. Since that time, the Saints have given us a lot of joy; let's hope the Era of Good Feelings continues tonight.

Leave your pre-game, in-game, and/or post-game thoughts, brilliance, and poop jokes in the Comments below. GO TEXANS!

And it’s a colored drink night, as Shiner Black has again made an appearance on my end table.

Yeah.

My favorite part was how he started 3-3 or something and then chucked 10 straight incompletions.

I posted this on Diehards

But it’s too good to miss:
nfl.com:
Vince Young still looks uncomfortable: Young followed up a shaky effort in Week 1 of the preseason with an even more inconsistent outing vs. the Titans, going 4-of-13 for 37 yards. Young just couldn’t find a rhythm, badly over-and-under throwing a number of receivers. He was helped by a couple of dropped interceptions by the Raiders.

Hey I don't have it in front of me now but

There is a malt whiskey trail in Scottland, that would be fun to take with a few (6)guys. If we go in the off season, (and there is a Scotch festival the end of Sept beginning of Oct.) I might be able to scrounge up a few buddy passes to lower the costs a bit for you, and I talked to a guy that took it a couple years ago, and he said they give you 3 finger glasses free of whatever varieties you want to taste. On my way back through Scottland I found some really great ones…I’m talking to some other folks too, so if anyone is really interested, let me know.

Harry Williams

His solid play these 1st few games on Special Teams should have Jacoby a little scared when it comes time for the 53-man

Might want to try to tackle someone, instead of diving for Bush’s feet. The Nawleans offense looked damn effective on that drive.

On the local 'pregame show'

One of the fellas said he didn’t see ANY in the Denver game. I find this odd. Are they really just not trying to give film to other teams before the regular season?

When they finally went back and showed the play that we missed, Schaub threw one hell of a ball to K-Dub between 3 Saints.

schaub kicks ass

absolutely on target. he could hit a fly on the ass on the run.

defense: no blitzing, though I think I saw cochran drop into coverage a couple of times, which makes me wonder. reeves sucks and got picked on all night. colston is much taller than fletcher. reggie bush still sucks. drew brees is good and has a quick release. duane brown and eric winston dominated their guys. vonta leach is big and ugly.

First Half Thoughts

Offense looked like it could score on anybody, and defense looked like it couldn’t stop anybody. In a related story, Reeves looked like he really wants Antwaun Molden to take his job and/or Dunta to get well soon.
