PrintUh.... Yeah! They always said the third preseason game is the closest to the regular season game that a fan can get.. So far we have DeMeco wrecking shop, Mario with a sack, and Schaub coming up lame. Yeah, it's pretty damn close. Join us in the comments below for the second half of the Texans vs Vikes. Favre be damned!

Really? You think so?

something tells me it's good Dan-O is practicing with the starters
He may need this experience in the regular season, unfortunately.
Yeah, I'd say that's a safe bet

after that horrid first play of the game, the run d shaped up. good to see that. i have now changed my opinion of who i want to give a career ending injury to, from tom brady to brett favre. also the refs are practically holding favre’s hand in this game. texans offense needs to get it together though. we were smashed in first quater.
