Open Gameday Thread--Texans v. Panthers

Brb_tiny by Tim on in News

Dare we to dream?  A 2-0 start for the first time in franchise history?  I say yes, but that may be the Kubiak Aid talking.  Here's the place for your pregame, in-game, and postgame commentary, rants, and musings.  GO TEXANS!

yea!
As opposed to the last time I did this with you, I can watch the game on line now in El Salvador! Thank the television gods for inventing Sling Box! Now you and the game will be on screen at the same time! Best of both worlds.  I think the Texans prove themselves today. Best wishes to them!

Re: Slingbox
Might be the greatest invention in the history of mankind.  Glad to hear that you'll get to watch the Texans today.

Freaking philadelphia.  I swear... the Eagles play Monday night and I think the bars around here would show old eagles games instead of the sunday line-up if they could.

Re: Philly
That sucks.  Though rarely a day goes by that I don't thank my lucky stars that I live in H-Town, it's stuff like this that makes me think I couldn't survive elsewhere.  I'd start shaking if a Sunday arrived that saw me having to go without the Texans game.

Re: no Texans on Sunday
So, uh, how do you handle the bye week? Indications are you shake.

Re: Coping
I shake.  And drink.  Which you'd think would help with the shaking, but it does nothing.

I can relate
The Texans are ALMOST NEVER on TV here in San Antonio.  They are today, and were last week too, but if they start losing again, the local TV Cowbaby ass-kissers will start showing other games instead.  Sucks out loud.

Terrible Effing Spot
On 4th down.  But the offense is moving the ball well.  And that illegal procedure call was BS as well.

Or I'd tell Petey to just push Smith over anytime he's about to get burned and take the 15 yard penalty.
