Open Gameday Thread--Houston v. Cleveland

by Tim on Nov 25, 2007 10:46 AM CST in News Comment 69 comments

Your Houston Texans playing a game on the last Sunday in November that has playoff implications? For both teams? And those teams are the Browns and Texans? What? Someone pass me my lithium.

It's true. Today's clash in Cleveland matters. Not just to one of the teams involved. Not just to both of the teams involved. It matters to every team in the AFC, if not the whole NFL. This is sweet.

Leave your pre-game, in-game, and/or post-game thoughts, joyful yelps, and sorrowful wails in the Comments blow. GO TEXANS!

Schaub is fearless

I love the way he stands in the pocket with a blitz in his face.

Time to go for it on 4th Down!!

We can be critical of the draft picks, but in the end we always support the new Texan.

Gutsy Call

To go for it. Didn't work out, but I still like the balls. Dom Capers would have punted twice there.

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

We have a good tempo thus far.

D is for Difference

The difference between Turk's shanks and Stanley's is that Turk makes the kicks when he needs to. Sure Turk will shank one every two games or so... but he can make it happen when it counts.
