Welcome to the playoffs!!!!!


We've always wanted it...and here it is...we win or we are done...AWESOME!!!!!!!!!  8 years of pouring my soul into this and once again I feel completely sick going in to this game.  Being at the last Jags game was like taking a waterboarding, and I can't get it out of my mind.  I want to say that I believe that we will run the table, BUT......

Anyway, does anyone else convince themself that it will be different this time, that we will catch the breaks just because we haven't so many times....the field goal won't be wide left, the ball will cross the goal line and be ruled a TD, the flag won't fly after a huge play for our boys, the QB won't be knocked into a beautiful helicoptor type spin only to fire the ball into the opponents grasp for six, you all know I could go on for a while. But I digress...I am going to think all weekend about the game and wake up Sunday morning with my usual excitement and at noon assume the position, cold beer at the ready, fantasy score on the laptop, Texans gear on me and my son....and hope enjoy the playoffs....cuz that's what this is for us.

OK....GO TEXANS!

For blind enthusiasm. And because I’m a monkey.

For Texans Fandom claiming another victim. I suggest the Memorial Hermann Psyche Ward, they have better crackers.

You get the official Matt Schaub seal of approval

I admire and wish I coud share your enthusiasm. There’s a good chance 10-6 makes the playoffs, unfortunately the Texans chance of being that 10-6 WC team is not that good. The odds of correctly picking a coin flip 5 consecutive times is 1 in 32. Based on the last 43 games the Texans are pretty much a 50:50 team. I don’t like our odds, but like you will be hanging on every play come Sunday.

It took the Astros 44 years to get to the Series, the Oilers-Texans are due to get to the big dance...Go Texans!!!!!

Well, the GIants did it a few years back

Why not us too? It not like we don’t have the potential. We all know we are a few unlucky plays from being 10-1.

Why not shouldn’t look at the next five weeks as the first five weeks of a long playoff run.

GO texans!

if there ever was a time for us to close games its now.

I do admire the enthusiasm and excitement.

If the Texans can get past Jacksonville…they very well could enter the Dolphin game at 8-6. Sunday’s a big game.

With this team...

We seem to have a good chance to go 5-0, 0-5, or anywhere in between.

Putting your name on that prediction?

That’s pretty bold!

They say it’s darkest before the dawn. The sun hasn’t come up in almost 8 years.

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

I cannot wait for...

years of playoff lose dissapointments! Just like back in the oiler daze.

GO TEXANS!!!!

Our time will come...

This team gives me migraines

I don’t recall the Oilers doing that.

When I'm on the mic, I'm like global warming, you can't ignore me.

Never...

Mind…we may never catch a break…we just suck. Chris Brown can pack his bags tonight and go home.
