Sunday Morning Bloody Mary: Chasing Your Bad Thursday With This Sunday's AFC South Games

Somehow, I can't think of a better sponsor for a Texans blog than Absolut. Together with Captain Morgan, we are two-thirds of the way to a fair representation of things Texans fans will be chugging before, during, and after the game. Clorox, come on now! We need your help!
Depending on who you believe, the Texans are still very much alive in their quest to mathematically win the division. Oh sure, the defense is absymal, the offense is mistake-prone, and they'd need a lot of help in front of them. But rally forth, good sirs, because today is a new day. Or something like that. I can't really fake optimism about this stuff.
The two games that directly impact our "playoff chances" today are the Cowboys-Colts game and the Jaguars-Titans game. As much as it pains me to admit this, we probably should be rooting for both of the teams we despise the most should we have any hope of winning the division. That would keep the status quo, as each team would be just a game ahead of the Texans and the Texans would have games to play against Tennessee and Jacksonville still.
Personally though, while I can see good cases for both the Titans and the Cowboys to win, I can't predict either of them to do so. Dallas still starts Jon Kitna and still has a very suspect offensive line. I don't think they can throw the ball on Indy. While the running game should keep it close and their defense has played better since they fired Wade Phillips, I don't think they can stop Peyton Manning.
Meanwhile, in Tennessee, I think you can make a pretty good case that the Titans quarterback play has completely sunk their season. Maybe Chris Johnson is better than Maurice Jones-Drew, but is he better with nine men in the box? Kerry Collins will be better than Rusty Smith was, but is he that much better? I can't see a single position outside of offensive line that the Titans are better at than the Jags on offense right now, and while the defense will keep it close, I think the Jags will eke out the win in Nashville as well.
I know you're not actually going to enjoy this, but I'm compelled to tell you: ENJOY WITH ABSOLUT RESPONSIBILITY®

Is it true that when a coach throws the red flage
that’s what they look like when they have sex?
You heard it here, first.
I dub the Ravens...... Flaccid!
Rivers, thx for the lighthearted delivery this morning
I’m still on my first cup of coffee….and my Absolut Bloody Mary, of course…..
Doesn’t that sound good?
Today, I love the Cowturds. See? That didn’t even hurt.
And, to answer your questions. I like MJD better than CJ. I think he’s better, more durable, and a better team player. CJ, looks listless this season and I think he is like that because he is a diva. I mean that. He is capable of better, but he is seriously letting the turmoil around him and the bad team play effect his play. He is listless. Who wants that kind of player on their team. But, considering both of those players, and if you threw in Arian Foster, man, I like AF. I really do. He’s hungry. I hope he stays that way. I know that if this Texans team turns it around AF will be a horse to hitch your wagon to.

Seems strange to say what I said about CJ, when you look at his stats and he's damn good
I dub the Ravens...... Flaccid!
We all know the difference though
CJ gets 1yd,1yd,2yds,1yd – and after enough times there is some huge hole that he runs for 50 to make his average decent. He is not a great running back, but so fast that he can score or any play.
Hoping weird stuff really does only come in 3's

Everythig falls into place for us. Honestly, I doubt we beat the ravens but if we do then who knows?

I give the Texans a good shot against the Ravens
Strong offense of the Texans against the strong D of the Ravens. I would not be surprised to see the Texans put it together.

I think the 10 day break, at this time, does them good
and Baltimore playing Pittsburgh doesn’t hurt at all.
"Lord, beer me strength."
guys... don't pull for the Titans and Cowboys....
just pull against the Colts and Jaguars.
simple logic.
Some people say "If you can't beat them, join them". I say "If you can't beat them, beat them", because they will be expecting you to join them, so you will have the element of surprise.

I think I'll skip straight
To the hard liquor portion of today’s festivities. That should numb the pain of hoping the Titans win.

Does it jinx things if I use Titos in my Bloody?
The world revolves around me! Especially when I'm flat out on the barroom floor.
