BRBAPALOOZA: Which Game Should We Make A BRB Watch Party?

At least once during the regular season, we like to organize a formal BRB Watch Party. We haven't had one yet, so let's start working on getting one scheduled.

First question: Which game would you prefer to watch with your fellow BRBers at a sports bar? We'll limit the options to Texans games on the road in an effort to maximize attendance. The poll is after the jump.

Star-divide

Rock the vote, folks.

Poll
Which Texans road game would you be most interested in watching at a bar with other members of the BRB community?

17 votes
Jaguars (Sunday, November 27th)
26 votes
Bengals (Sunday, December 11th)
38 votes
Colts (Thursday, December 22nd)
40 votes

Well

Both the team and the fans are putting on their best BE-SF impressions…

My favorite response was “Just wait until Nov 27th”. Oh, you mean when you have to play us WITH Andre Johnson? Ok guy.

Plus

It will be nice to get together and watch us stomp on the cold, dead remains of the Colts season.

Anyone else think there will be psychological carry-over once Manning gets back? I do. He’ll never play at the same level again, and now I think they’ll be thinking from here on out “Man, if P8ton doesnt carry us, we really ARE screwed… just like everyone said”.

I don’t think you have a season this bad as a team without it affecting you, no matter the situation. Could be wrong though, never been in a locker room, obviously.

Texans/Bengals Question...

If both are in first, is there a chance this game gets flexed to the night game?

by JMFC on Nov 2, 2011 8:53 AM CDT reply actions  

Probably not

NYG/DAL is the Sunday night game and the media loves their NFC East games.

by TexansDC on Nov 2, 2011 8:56 AM CDT up reply actions  

I imagine....

Week 13’s IND/NE game will be the only game flexed (probably for DET/NO or GB/NYG or CIN/PIT)

"Lord, beer me strength."

by TexansDC on Nov 2, 2011 9:00 AM CDT up reply actions  

They could flex ATL@HOU to.

Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.

Not as sexy as the other 3 match-ups

Won’t happen.

The only Texans game that could be flex worthy is week 17 if the division is up for grabs, but that’s it.

I still think the Colts in the best one.

For several reasons:

1.) We can celebrate already being a lock for the playoffs that night.
2.) We can talk about how a first round bye is a very real possibility.
3.) We can do a bunch of shots and get shitty since most of us won’t have to work the next day.
4.) More people may be in town visiting family and could attend.

I don’t see how any Sunday game could possibly get the nod over the Thursday before Xmas, especially an easy late season division win while vying for a first round bye.
