Open Gameday Thread--New Orleans v. Houston

by Tim on Nov 18, 2007 9:45 AM CST in News Comment 121 comments

At approximately 3:30 p.m. CST today, one team will be .500. The other will be 4-6 (or .400, as it were). Regardless, everyone will still mock the Texans for not drafting Reggie Bush. So go the days of our lives.

Leave your pre-game, in-game, and/or post-game rants, thoughts, and love letters to Super Mario in the Comments below. And GO TEXANS!

Andre Ware just said that, has Jason David not made the team flight, he would have sent a limo to NO to pick him up.

In televised game news

Mike Martz has gone to the sweatshirt look, apparently hoping someone confuses him with Bill B. How odd to have two movements--the dapper suit and the frumpy pullover--at the same time.

Wow, I felt gay writing that.

Local channel

What's the name of the local station that's airing the game? I want to try to find an online streaming feed of the game. 610 Radio isn't giving me quite the same "oomph." Of course, I'll let you all know if I find anything.

I'd rather

Be up 7 than 4... it was a good call. If the play doesn't happen in the endzone - which is the only place it can go - and I'm fuckin sure Payton know it - the call to go for 3 instead of 6 was the right one.

Texans had the time

for one fade to a corner of an end zone. Either it works, or it goes out of bounds. Chances of an int are very low on that type of pass, and we had more than enough time.

you're right. In the end, I should be happy we at least put up some points.

It's something I have to give Kubiak credit for. All preseason we all thought it was just a matter of time before Jacoby slid into the #2 role, but Kubiak stuck to his guns and it paid off. And, are we going for it here?
