Remember Friday when I asked you to take lots of pictures and soak up the atmosphere at Reliant for the Texans' first playoff game (and win)?
Well, consider this post your own personal repository for all your pictures and stories of what is currently the single greatest game in Texans history. Sorry, 19-10, you're still awesome, babe, but I think you've been supplanted.
Post your pictures in the comments section along with any stories you have or your point of view on the day's festivities.
How did you react when Bum Phillips came ambling out of the tunnel? When Andre Johnson finally scored his first (and certainly not last) playoff touchdown? When J.J. Watt plucked that ball out of the air and scampered into the end zone for the tie-breaking touchdown to end the half? Or even when Arian Foster did his version of the Dream Shake in the end zone?
I want to see and hear it all. So with that said, the floor is now yours. Make good use of it, folks.
The only rules are keep it safe for work and please include captions so we all know what we're looking at!
(Props to MeMongo for getting the ball rolling with this FanPost loaded with pictures he took.)

Thanks! I hope you get to come to a game here sometime and experience it first hand.
I’d like to go to a game in Seattle sometime to check out that stadium and crowd. It looks like a riot!

…but I can admit to getting a little choked up when Bum Phillips came out of the tunnel. I started screaming about knocking that Son of a Bitch down. Having to explain to the youngsters around me what I was talking about only slightly ruined that moment for me.

I'm glad I was at the game.
I recorded the game and watched it. I would have lost ‘it’ with the crappy broadcast. Shoob? Really NBC?
About the game:
My voice is still recovering from the game. I think there was angst and worry in the stadium for much of the first half. After the JJ Watt interception, I don’t think anyone in the stadium thought we would lose the game. That was easily the loudest the stadium was during the game. I didn’t realize it was an interception until JJ was about to cross the goal line. When the Defense came on the field, they played a video with all the D players popping up their hoods of their black Assassin’s Creed type robes.
It was a crazy atmosphere. I got there about 1.5 hours before kickoff and the crowd outside of Reliant was awesome. The stadium was packed half an hour before the game which is exactly what Eric Winston was telling everyone to do on the radio throughout the week on SR610.
What sucks is that I forgot my camera at home and almost lost my ticket in Reliant when I was taking photos from my cell phone. Luckily, I got it back and was able to go to my seats.
I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.
~Muhammad Ali
I thought..
The Assassin’s Creed video was pretty sweet, it was one of the coolest things I’ve seen them show on the screen during a game.

Crazy stats
He also averaged 31.6 yards per completion; the tv ratings for the 4th quarter were 31.6 and the steelers held the ball for 31 minutes and 6 seconds. Many coincidences all in the same game even though most of them are stretches.

It's so beautiful...
I’m so proud of my boys! It was awesome to see everybody step up and make plays. Foster was makin poetry with his feet, AJ was in beast mode, and then Watt (no words to describe that INT play…). Barwin seemed kinda quiet though… I’m sure he’ll earn a couple of 12 packs of Shiner next week. Anyone heard any news on O.D.? How’s Breisel and J Jo holding up?

so i got out to the stadium around 8:30.
my credentials ran out after the titans game, but i still had my brown lot passes so i wanted to get there before they started checking the passes for entry. so i sat in my car, ate whataburger, smoked herb and drank beer and watched “Breaking Bad” episodes on my droid until around noon.. met up with some co-workers and drank MORE beer, and had like 8 jello shots.. and smoked another joint. point being, by the time i made it inside the stadium, i was AMPED. myself, a guy in a ryans jersey, and two old dudes stood there in front of section 134 (or somewhere by there) and we yelled EVERY play, EVERY snap when the bengals had the ball… and made beer runs for the group when they didn’t. i didn’t know any of those guys but by the end of the game every single one of us were hugging and crying like we were old friends. THAT is what makes this team special. you got a black guy, a mexican, and two old white dudes all with one mission.. make life hell for the bengals. GREATEST GAME EXPERIENCE EVER. first time i tried to record the crowd and my phone couldn’t stay steady because of the noise and vibration.

First time at Reliant, first time seeing the Texans in person...
What an experience. Having been to a lot of football games, there is something different in the air in Houston. Desperation? Sort of, but not in a negative way. Pride? No doubt. In most cities (or at most colleges) the fans tend to act like the team OWES them something. Make a mistake and you’re crucified – but not in Houston, not what I’ve seen recently at least. At Reliant on Saturday it felt as if everyone was a big family. When you looked down at the field it was like a younger sibling, cousin, friend was on the field. You knew they were giving it their all and no matter what happened you were proud of them and thankful for their effort. Even when I heard some borderline critical comments in the stands, they weren’t ignorant and most of the time constructive like a Dad or Uncle would say about his child’s performance. Ok, let me come back up a couple levels.
-My phone died in the 2nd quarter so I didn’t take any pics during the game let alone text/call/email which was kinda nice not having to worry about all that.
- Really happy for ‘Dre, I’ve been following him for a long time and always thought he was a class act (and an unbelievable athlete).
- JJ’s pick was one of the best plays I’ve ever seen.
- Cushing’s Chevelle is awesome
- Barwin is a beast on and off the field
- Looking forward to freezing in Baltimore Sunday!
TEAM = TEXANS
I think the word you're looking for is.....hunger or desire.
Houston wants a winner…and a winner in football? That’ll really up the intensity to a Texan.

Analysis of the Texans-Bengals game here. What’s trending and what to expect later this week. http://ballsohardfootball.weebly.com/1/post/2012/01/wild-card-weekend-upsets.html
I know I'm kinda new to this playoff thing and all
but let’s assume we beat Baltimore this weekend. That means we’re 5-1 against the AFC North. Can we just go ahead and take that division championship, too?
Houston Texans: 1 Playoff Win.
Vince Young, Dunta Robinson, and Jason Babin: 0 Combined Playoff Wins.
Yes
although according to the hype over at BBD, we wouldn’t even qualify to run the basement if we replaced Cleveland. The ego and arrogance over there is worse than a mutant merge of Chad Ochocinco and Keyshawn Johnson!
Let’s see we…..
beat the Steelers without ’Dre, Mario, or Casey (all injured early in that game)
crushed the Browns
and beat the Bengals twice
we only lost on the road to the Ravens in that division
yeah we’d be basement dwellers ROFL /rolls eyes
"Never Never Never Give Up!" Winston Churchill
Well actually Mario and Casey were injured against the Raiders I think
But other than that dead on. F their arrogance, e Texans will shove it down their throat this weekend.
"Never underestimate the dumb with JJ" - Hugh Jarce
Let them be arrogant
We’ll be arrogant and see who arrogantly pulls it out on Arrogant Sunday.
"Lord, beer me strength."
I just read a bunch of posts and comments on BBD
And I don’t know where y’all are seeing all this arrogance. Really, they seem like a pretty reasonable bunch. Yes, they are almost universal in expecting a Ravens victory, but why shouldn’t they? They’re facing a team in the playoffs for the first time with an inexperienced QB playing in a hostile environment. Despite that, their respect for the Texans is pretty obvious over there, and they clearly expect a tough game as a whole.
As a funny aside, many of their articles seem to be drawing as many comments from Texans fans as from their own. Their game day thread had like 80 comments, compared to 1600 over here. Surprising that a team as successful as the Ravens inspires so little enthusiasm, at least on that particular blog.

Here's one that cracked me up where someone told them they'd be lucky to score 20
Lucky to score 20?
December 13, 2010
Ravens 34 Texans 28
October 17,2011
Ravens 29 Texans 14
In fact lets take it a step further. The Texans are 0-5 against the Ravens ALL time.
You’re defense isn’t all that great. Offense runs through two people and an above average line. We’ve been inconsistent on offense true, but does it matter if we score 20 points if you only score 19?
This tool thinks they are going to run it up with their offense against our defense without a hot tub time machine to go back into the past. When we played them earlier this season we had just lost Mario. Reed (starting for the first time) and Barwin were adjusting to new positions. The defense is rocking right now. Simply amazing how little respect the Texans defense is getting outside of those who have actually seen them play.
(Ranked #2 NFL)
Points allowed per game: 17.4
Yards allowed per game: 285.7
"Never Never Never Give Up!" Winston Churchill
I'm actually going to side with them.
the bottom line is that their team has been doing what they do for more than a decade. they bruise you up for 4 quarters and break your will. they stopped us at 14 points and we have a rookie. it isn’t wrong for them to feel like they can stop this team.
with that being said, the game will be decided on the field so i think its pointless to argue back and forth.
But AJ was out last time around...
Although QB play drops this time around, how they have to scheme overall is going to be a different game altogether

It’s also obvious now we aren’t dependent entirely on 2 yard screen passes.

They made a comment that "Your defense is not very good" in that same thread
which is absurd.
I am not suggesting we will dominate this game at all, but we are far from the speed bump they presume.
Both teams could not be more similar across all measured end of season stats in terms of defensive, rushing and passing. It will absolutely be the battle of experience vs the youth. Ravens have the advantage in being at home and having experienced players on both sides. Texans have the advantage of youthful vigor sprinkled with key positions with experience.
It’s going to be a slug fest to the end.

I’ve been going to NFL games since I was a baby and Texans games since the beginning. I didn’t get to go to the 19-10 game but I went to most of the others that year and every year since. I have never had that much fun. I left the game with a sore hand from high fiving strangers. A sore throat from screaming. And a headache from all the noise. It was an amazing experience.
I was with my mom who isn’t much of a beer drinker and we had to drive back to Magnolia after so we went to Bud Plaza when we got there. Except it wasn’t open yet. They let this guy in though:
Dennis Quaid before the game.

My first ever playoff beer. It tasted better than any beer I’ve ever had.

Seattle still holds the title.
In preparation for 2005–06 NFC Championship Game at CenturyLink Field, the Carolina Panthers practiced with the recorded sounds of jet engines in the background. The Fox Sports telecast producers measured the crowd noise level at a peak of 137 dB during Seattle’s 34–14 win.
Also, the CLink was responsible for an earthquake.
So we got that going for us.

118 at 3 hours can cause permanent damage...
To all those attending, thanks for putting your hearing health at risk for the Texans victory! :)
I've got nothin'...
I think OSHA might actually be the reason decibel levels are flaunted by stadiums.
These numbers are damn hard to find and there’s never official numbers. I think a real-time decibel level reading during key points in the game would amp the crowd and could be used for bragging rights.
WHAT?!!!! Speak up I can't hear a damn thing you are saying =P
