I raced home to watch this game. I did. And what did I get to see when I sat down? A whole lot of stupid penalties and the Pats' offense getting second chance after second chance.

If the Texans are going to win, they can't afford to let Tawmy have second chances.

Also, it's unlike me to be the optimist but it's the second friggin' quarter. It's way the hell too early to say "game over."

This has been Captain Obvious and now we return you to your second quarter open thread.

Go on, start commenting. I'm going to forage for beer.
