Houston Texans at New Orleans Saints, Aug 21, 2010 5:00 PM PDT
This could be the most one-sided game since 1972, when the Miami Dolphins faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Tony Hollings. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

let me be the first to say...
we suck this game.
"And Richie... you're still blocked on twitter." - David Anderson

I guess when the team sucks...
There’s a reason for four threads by the fourth quarter. Or do we do one thread a quarter?
Depends on the comments.
I prefer to not let the threads hit 400, because they usually slow down at that point in my experience.

Around the league update
Dallas? Still struggling.
Stafford? Looks great.
Mike Williams? Ultimate WR sleeper. Looks good.
"Lord, beer me strength."
So it's
Suck From Southern Oklahoma visiting the Suck from Texas?
Jets? Look sloppy.
Ryan Mathews? On his way to making me eat my words. Looks like a solid back. Not great, but solid.
"Lord, beer me strength."
And Bobby Lashley gets stopped after the second round
I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but you appear to be unarmed.
yep, TKO

It was supposed to be a gimmie
they were trying to build him up to be a Brock-monster.

Lashley doesn't have Brock's freakish speed for that size

Nice catch by JJ

so far
i loved Arain, Matt looked good, kareem was good, trindon is a goner, Slaton will take over KR
living the Texas dream
Slaton as a KR makes a lot of sense
Keeping him in open space is his strength

Trindon
Whats up with this dude is he just in over his head and thinking to much?
So it is safe to say that Andre Davis is out of Here????
Doin stuff so nasty that you have to do it twice to confirm the level of nasty!!
it's 50/50
might stay on as 5th or 6th WR

Orlovsky
As bad as he’s seemed, his stat line is better than Brees was right now.
maybe
but his awareness seems almost non-existent. Lots of throws into double coverage.
by somebodysfather on Aug 21, 2010 9:30 PM CDT up reply actions
The Texans defensive backs have more tackles than the Saints.
Maybe we can get Jabari Greer for Eugene Wilson.

Touchdown.... but Orlousy Still Sucks...
But not as bad as the tackling of the D-line and Line backers and Secondary…. We should throw a party for Holliday… he’s got 10 days and he’s out of here!!!
Doin stuff so nasty that you have to do it twice to confirm the level of nasty!!
I wanna see Holliday in the Dallas game before I say he's gone
Gotta give a fast guy like him a few more chances to bust one open, right?
His chances of making the team are on life support though
More on that in Monday’s roster battle post.
"Lord, beer me strength."
I agree on that
Jacoby and Slaton have already shown they’re better than him right now

Beer
They need to give his little ass a beer with a nipple on it to calm his little man nerves, so he can just go play
different than Romo. Romo sucks peckers
I'll fly off the handle if I damn well please, I'm a Texans Fan!
I hope they do
but I see him ending up on PS.
Assmass alone does not a NT make.
alright!!!
only losing by 15 pts

He won't fumble like that again
It was dumb on his part to try and swim move with his ball hand. Fixable mistake.

If we get a pass rush he is.
I agree he is just a stop gap guy, but nolan might not quite be ready, and with the youth at corner I’ll take some veteran presence in the secondary, even if it is in the form of a slightly below average safety
