You may not have gotten much sleep last night. You may still be shaking off the cobwebs from the seemed-so-logical-at-the-time decision to do shots of whiskey after dinner in an attempt to put yourself to sleep.
What? Why would you assume I did that? Oh. Right. The Irish thing. Fair enough.
Kickoff's still several agonizing hours away. How are you feeling, both in a general sense and about this afternoon's contest? And what are you going to do to while away the hours? Share in the Comments below.
The first open game thread will post at 11:30 a.m. CST. Until then, post your ramblings here.

I feel like a nfl player ..
I keep waking up in the middle of the night, having a hard time sleeping. I can’t wait for the game today!! GO TEXANS!
Last time I felt like this...
….was Christmas Eve when I was about 8 years old. Could barely sleep last night.
I’ve got a 3 hour drive to get to Houston for the game, so I’ll get to listen to talk about the BCS championship, The Saints/Lions matchup, and what color jammies Tebow wore to bed last night for about 2:58 of it, with some dude filling the last 2 saying how Houston can’t win today after the way they closed the regular season.
By tonight I will probably be able to neither speak nor hear, but then I won’t need them until next weekend anyway…
"You mean, besides two chicks at the same time?"
Is there a game today? Who's playing?
THE FREAKING TEXANS ARE. Win or lose this is a grat day for all the die hard fans out there. This one is for Andre and Schaub and Mario and Kubiak and most of all Houston. This is the beginning of our dynasty. It’s taken 10 long years of building and learning. Putting all the pieces of the puzzle together. Now is our time brothers and sisters. Time for the champions to rise to the challenge!!!!!!
I had a dream. In that dream I saw a multitude of screaming people on Richmond. I saw Kubiak laughing. I saw Andre Johnson pouring champagne from a trophy on to Brian Cushings head. What does it mean?
Boooooooooooooo!

It is the torture that comes with getting what you hope for every year. It is the curse of the answered prayer. It is the playoffs.

Actually been a busy week
at work….which has been a decent enough distraction to keep me from just dewelling on it all week long. This morning as I woke up it was like going to a new job or starting the first day of a vacation. I cleaned up a little and slid #59 over my head. It was a different feeling than I’ve ever had when I put the jersey.
I’ll go to the gym, come home and blow the leaves off my roof and then settle onto my old familiar spot on the couch and prepare myself for this glorious occasion.

On a side note.
Last week I had to work on Sunday due to being on call. We were at a poor old lady’s house in San Antonio cleaning up a water damage all day. At about 2:45 or so my partner mentions to the lady that I am a huge Texans fan. She then proceeds to turn on the tv. I looked up and saw Jake Delhome throwing a pass caught by Johnson. It wasn’t Andre. I was like “What the FUCK is happening?” I thought I was in some weird parallel universe or something. Didn’t get all the info till the ride home. I was bitching at my partner the rest of the day. “You stupid git why did you tell her to turn that on? Now I’m all fucked up not knowing what’s happening”
I had a dream. In that dream I saw a multitude of screaming people on Richmond. I saw Kubiak laughing. I saw Andre Johnson pouring champagne from a trophy on to Brian Cushings head. What does it mean?
Nope
Only on call once a month. Besides I informed my boss that under no circumstances would I be working while the texans were in the playoffs. He just sighed and said ok. He’s a cowgirls fan.

Some Bill Simmions Pre game points
TEXANS (-3) over Bengals
Jake Delhomme’s shadow is lurking. I am well aware. Every time they show Jake wearing his headset and a “I really hope I don’t come in” look on his hangdog face, I will mutter to myself, “I really hope I didn’t make a tragic mistake here.” There’s also the nagging problem of Houston being unable to crack 23 points since Week 10 — if Andre Johnson isn’t 100 percent (or close), that Texans offense can’t stretch the field and goes into “we’re just going to run the ball, and if you stack the line on us, we have to go into dink-and-dunk mode and we’re kind of screwed” mode.
And yet, the Texans are my favorite Round 1 pick. A legitimately good defense playing at home against a rookie QB running a fairly limited offense … and the line is only three? Delightful! The 2011 Bengals played five “big” games (both Pittsburgh games, both Baltimore games and their Week 14 Houston game) and lost all five.3 Maybe that’s why the Bengals went into playing-not-to-lose mode against Baltimore in last weekend’s exceptionally uninspiring performance. If one thing stood out last week, other than Marvin Lewis playing not to lose for the umpteenth time of his career, it was that Andy Dalton actually had time to throw against Baltimore (all game, by the way) and just couldn’t make plays. Why should we trust him in a big game? Check out his game log for Week 3 (San Francisco), Week 10 (Pittsburgh), Week 13 (Pittsburgh) and Week 17 (Baltimore) — suddenly he’s going to turn it on in Week 18 with MORE pressure?
Think of it this way: Dalton needs to play well for the Bengals to prevail; his rookie counterpart (T.J. Yates) needs only to avoid driving Houston’s boat into an iceberg. I just don’t see the Bengals bringing enough to the table, especially in Houston against a rabid crowd that hasn’t even seen a Texans playoff game before (much less hosted one). We also know that Houston’s running game can protect and extend any lead; nobody else in the playoffs has anything remotely approaching that Arian Foster/Ben Tate combination. Please, Lord, keep Delhomme on the sideline.
The pick: Houston 23, Cincy 10.

You know
People outside of Houston are just frakkin stupid (minus the wonderful BRB fans abroad). All of them point to the last 3 games with the losing streak as a reason for the Bengals to win today. Does anyone else feel this is asenine? It’s the equivalent of using the preseason as a measuring stick for how teams will fare in the regular season. We didn’t play the majority of our starters for the entire second half last week, and didn’t play a good portion of our defensive starters for a large portion of the second half the week before. Yet, this should be used a gauge for how the Texans will do going forward?
In closing, F the idiots…Texans gonna show’em what’s real.

It's a beautiful morning...
I had the best cup of coffee, it was perfect. We will win today, I am confident.

Hmm, how to waste time until 3 hits?

See above reference to drinking.
I had a dream. In that dream I saw a multitude of screaming people on Richmond. I saw Kubiak laughing. I saw Andre Johnson pouring champagne from a trophy on to Brian Cushings head. What does it mean?
I can tell you that right now I'm extremely anxious
DVRing the game while in Temple for my g-ma’s memorial service, and avoiding my phone and BRB until I watch every second.
I can liken this feeling to how the Texans players probably feel right now. Sure, I haven’t been in that exact situation, but I’ve played in big games before (relatively speaking, of course) and it goes like this: little sleep, cold sweats in the dark, pit in the stomach. If they didn’t experience a single symptom similar to those, then we have some psychotic (literally) players. Of course, when Cushing is handing out blood samples for a night cap, those sorts of things don’t happen!
My thoughts are like Brian Cushing on the field: Everywhere.
One thing I'm sure of today, Cushing will light someone up.

i will be surprised if he is the one that got the most rest.

Woke up this morning, realized it was FINALLY Saturday and felt like this.
Its like I’ve waited my whole life for this! I am only 22… so it is half my life i supposed.
Well, I'm currently watching Mary Poppins with the kiddos
…and waiting for their mom to pick them up at noon.
After that, I’ll probably kick back a few cold ones to get ready for 3:30.
3:30 is the time I have to be at work today. Of course this would be the only weekend they didn’t work my schedule around the game. Bah.
Just your average, run of the mill hardcore casual Texans fan.

Well I am fucking STOKED
I already about to crack my second beer, grill some wings, shoot some Tequila and then get to Christian’s Tailgate (Heights) a couple hours early.
I have no intention of remembering anything that happens today. I’m simply going to get wasted and enjoy it.
I didn't get to sleep until after 1AM
just woke up and slept deeply all night. Are you ready for some football?!!! Some championship playoffs?!!!
GO TEXANS!!

I have an unlimited amount of optimism.
I get these weird scenarios in my mind even when we play a third string QB. Lose our best receiver. Our team is decimated by injuries. The officials turn against us. The sky turns green and rocks fall from the sky. Yet our Texans still win.

Hello BRB and Texans fans
I’m very proud to see the Houston Texans host their first playoff game today. I wish the Texans and their fans the best of luck and would love to see them represent the AFC in the upcoming Super Bowl.
Colts fan since Tony Dungy's 48th Birthday.

Brian Cushing snub
Just watched the sound fx again and im not so much pissed off that Cushing got snubber by the pro bowl buts its criminal that he hasnt been at least included in defensive player of the year conversation. The man is unstoppable

Getting kinda tired
of all the media types saying that whoever wins this game is just going to get clobbered by the Ravens next week. Granted, Baltimore has won all their home games, but they’ve had some pretty hillariously bad losses and have been only occasionally dominant.
if the media mattered .......
the jets would be in playoffs. the cowturds would be in the playoffs. britt far would be in the playoffs. the eagles would be in the playoffs.

More misplaced love
Kurt Warner and Marshall Falk are hating on the Texans on NFL Network, saying that the kitties have the best chance for an upset this weekend, citing TJ’s lake of performance over the last three weeks.
Fuel, Meet fire.
I love the fact that everyone is counting us out. The bigger the chip on our players shoulders the better.
Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
I'll take TJ's great LAKE of performance for 500 Alex!
May he spread the lake all over the field as we roll them!

Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
Never use a long word where a short one will do.
If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
Never use the passive where you can use the active.
Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
