Around SBN: Steve McNair Dead - Former NFL QB Shot and Killed

Open Game Day Thread: Houston v. Pittsburgh

Brb_tiny by Tim on in News Comment 375 comments

Houston Texans @ Pittsburgh Steelers


I'm ecstatic to report that I'm typing this from the Steel City, getting ready to watch your Houston Texans tangle with the Steelers in a few short hours. How did I manage to get myself to Pittsburgh for the season opener, you ask? Relatively easily. The good buddy (a native of Somerset, Pennsylvania) I referred to here made me a wager before last season began. He swore up and down that Ben Roethlisberger would finish in the Top Five QBs in the NFL for the following four (4) categories: (1) Wins, (2) Passing Yards, (3) QB Rating, and (4) TDs. I was not a believer, and thus a wager was born: If Big Ben finished in the Top Five for all of the aforementioned categories, I would purchase his ticket to HOU-PIT. If Roethlisberger did not, my friend would buy my ticket to HOU-PIT. Lo and behold, I won; candy from a baby. Consequently, I'm typing this entry from beautiful Pittsburgh, PA (which I'll have much more to say about in my Post-Game Breakdown).

Until then, let's kick 2008 off with all of the pomp and circumstance it deserves. Your Houston Texans face the unenviable task of opening their season by defeating a team that damn near never loses at home. But we keep the faith. With that in mind, leave your pre-game, in-game, and post-game thoughts, observations, and heresy in the Comments below. Most importantly...GO TEXANS!

Did It

And they were by far two of the best things to come out of my weekend.

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

Three hours to kick off! Three hours! Oh sweet merciful Durga – football is finally here again.

To memorialize my deja vu

I saw the Texans QB (I think it was the Schaub, not sure about that tho) in his end zone flipping the ball underhanded to Slaton at the 7 who ran to the 40ish, then fumbled. AJ was blocking downfield and recovered.

Take that for what its worth. I wish I saw the scoreboard at the time!

Healthy and Turnover free 2008-09, and we win 11!

you got two things right at least. you didn’t argue my point and you capitalized Steelers (did leave off the s, though). now as to the rest of your statement…..did you come up with it all by yourself or did you have help on it. i only ask becasue its so original and creative.

I hope for a good game today and definitely a victory for the steelers. It’s by no means a sure thing though. Just ready to see some football and hopefully a good game, and no need to taunt.

Game Day

I’ve been rocking Battle Red up and down the streets in Norway all day. It gets strange looks, but who cares…..fuggin Eurotrash hippies all over the place.

Anywho, as far as I’m concerned this is the Texans 1st Sunday night game…..mainly because I’m 7 hours ahead of CST.

Special thanks to 1Tex for continuing to rock tits on a daily basis.

as good as Johnnie Walker Red allows…but if you go to the top left and hit Player, then hit sling player options, then go to whichever action your system works in the best. Low , Med or High action.

Also, I found it very interesting a few nights ago that Heineken on tap actually tastes pretty good here. I always find it to have a skunky quality in the States.

Very true

The Heineken on tap is actually really good. So is the Amstel for that matter – and it’s as cheap as our rough stuff on tap back home.

Though the Dutch obsession with having two fingers of foam at the top is killing me. That’s precious beer I could be drinking.

Overtones

This game has overtones of last year’s Carolina game…

Meaning, no one gave us a shot to win (the Panthers were picked by more than a few to go deep into the playoffs), and we stepped up and popped them in the mouth.

The one thing that Steelers have in spades is experience….

Was it just me or

did you all notice after Schaubs first sack he started to run off the field
and then it looked like he was told to go back?
just asking?

I was afraid he had a concussion

Maybe a good time to try Sage?

by oiler-texan diehard on Sep 7, 2008 12:57 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'll never call for Sage over Schaub

why? because I want Schaub to either prove he can be the guy or prove he’s not the guy. I think he needs a whole season at least to make a proper evaluation.

If you remember in the cowboy pre-season game he was rattled easily in the first quarter but then recovered and had a good game. he needs to step up and be a leader right here.
