PrintI have to admit, I have a soft spot for the Saints after my trip down there. Stand up and get crunk in the comments if you are watching the late game.

My second team is pretty much the Saints now.
And apparently a lot of Louisiana expats live in Katy. There were a few people sporting Saints shirts (and at least one with a Saints shirt and Texans cap) all through our game (Stadia Cinco Ranch). They were filing in about halfway through the 4th.
Dallas Cowboys, all hat and no cattle since 1996.

So combined with DET -11
I now have DET -18 for the rest of the game.
I’m liking my odds here.

Went over to Cincyjungle.
It just sunk in.
Their season is over.
We have one more game (at least) to get geeked up (Kube’s term) for! Feels good, man.
I think Andre and Calvin Johnson are going to go in Larry Fitzgerald 08 playoffs mode
And who knows, they might meet each other in the super bowl!!

Texans weren't underdogs.
And part of me hopes so too. Would love end their postseason next weekend just like we did to the bears last year

Just got back from the game. ELECTRIC ATMOSPHERE!!!!!!
The stadium was going crazy on the JJ Watt INT returned for a TD. One of the best parts during the game was when there was around 2 minutes left and they played DJ Khaled “All I do is win”. The crowd was yelling and screaming and when the part “Everybody hands go up” and it got completely silent then went crazy again. It was one of the most memorable moments at the game.
Seriously, people:
the Texans have just UTTERLY DESTROYED the Bungals, and set themselves up for a house money re-match with Joe Flaccid and the Blatimore Revoltins next week.
Whatever else happens in the NFL playoffs this weekend is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT.
Fuck all these other teams: the Texans are going to Blatimore to kick butt next week.
That’s all that matters.
Congrats to TJ Yates
Who has as many playoff victories as Tony Romo.

I'd rather the saints win
I want the only non-super bowl winner in the playoffs to be us

I'm a little scared
Next year I assume we’re going to be among the pre season favorites to represent the afc in the super bowl. From years past, we have not played well when we’re favorites. Maybe that’s different now.

Really?
After it was revealed Peyton was going to be out indefinitely the Texans were seen as the default AFC South champs. Expectations were never higher than this year with the Manning injury and the Wade hiring in the offseason.
Years past the Texans were expected to contend for a Wildcard spot but this year it was from week one that they were expected to win the division.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
If we can
Keep healthy as well as keep Wade. I think we have and good shot at competing with anyone, even the against the Packers.

Packer fans were saying before the injuries
How we was maybe the only AFC team that could hang with them in the Super Bowl. I think we would’ve had a shot.

This is where the cool is.
Damn...
Made that look too easy!

Does he look a bitch?
Bring back Aaron Brooks! He's the only one who can save us from the evil that is Drew Brees!!
Dallas’ misery will always be my delight
-TexansDC
no he keeps his current role
OD is used in a lot of lead blocker situations.
That way only one person is out of postion
Division Champion Houston Texans
Hi My name is Jack, why don't you help me off?
Woo!
Bring on the 49ers!
/going to be a really good game regardless of what happens
Bring back Aaron Brooks! He's the only one who can save us from the evil that is Drew Brees!!

-TexansDC
The lack of good defense in this game makes me appreciate those Texans even more.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.

Saints offense might be the best I've ever seen
And that includes the 07 patriots and this years packers.
by TheDream34 on Jan 7, 2012 10:12 PM CST via mobile reply actions
Not to mention a pretty overrated defense in Detriot
49ers have a legit defense.
My thoughts are like Brian Cushing on the field: Everywhere.
49ers
Will be torched
There team has over played their cards, and NO will show them the Nuts
Division Champion Houston Texans
Hi My name is Jack, why don't you help me off?
Man seeing how the saints beat down on all of these at home
Makes me proud of how close we played them there. Still should have won that game though.
by TheDream34 on Jan 7, 2012 10:19 PM CST via mobile reply actions
Not to mention that the defense started slower than the offense
If we played them now, different story.
My thoughts are like Brian Cushing on the field: Everywhere.
Were you watching in HD?
I’ve noticed the HD in the house lags behind the SD on the same channel.
