Lol at people downgrading Yates' separated shoulder injury. Have y'all ever had one? I have and it hurts like hell. He will definitely be affected by it on the field.
They have? Which "hostile" environment could they possibly be referring to? Cleveland? Jacksonville? Seattle? Tennessee? St. Louis? That may very well be the dumbest statement I've ever read.
Or the injury wasn't as serious as they made it out to be, and he's fine. By all accounts, it's his non-throwing shoulder that was bruised (not separated) and he's been good in practice. We shall see though.
Probably meant Seattle since they're are supposed to have one of the best home-field advantages in the league..but yeah they were a big letdown this season.

Holy. Sh--. I just got 12th row 50 yard-line tickets in section 126 for 400 bucks each. Right behind Cincy bench. I'm going to rock out my JJ Watt jersey and scream my head off. I plan on not being able to speak for a week. Go TEXANS!
17 years since the last of the Joe Montana comebacks. They blew the team up after that season and were gone a few years later.
I assumed Seattle - makes sense-ish. But surely this goofball recognizes the difference between hosting a week 7 match-up against a routinely mediocre, out of conference team and hosting the city's first home playoff game in 18 years. Because if they thought *that* environment was hostile... they're in for a rude awakening Saturday.
The Texans have the talent and D to win...Lets hope the QB manages the game and gets us a win.. Texans: 24 Bengals: 21
I thinks all the hispanic fans need to take the lead and bust out the vuvuzelas ....Then we shall be blowing up ! ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpXN8BvGp_o
Just reminding everybody about this. Instead of being three hours, it'll be 2.5 hours, ending at 1:30am.
Here's what the networks will show on Saturday concerning the Texans: NBC Their pregame show begins at 3:00. I expect much of the talk to focus on the Lions/Saints game later that night. Sure, there will be some Bengals/Texans talk during the half hour show, but promoting the Lions/Saints will be a higher priority. Depending when the Texans finish, there might be some postgame coverage. I'm sure there will be an Alex Flanagan interview after the game. Most of the time between games will be focused on the Lions/Saints. ESPN Sunday NFL Countdown (Saturday edition) will run from 10am to noon. No postgame coverage is planned. However, I'm sure ESPNews will have reaction as soon as the game ends. NFL Network NFL GameDay Morning begins at 11am and runs to 3:30. After the game, NFL GameDay Scoreboard will have postgame coverage which usually includes the press conference. This will probably be the best place to see interviews and highlights. The one bad thing about the show is that buffoon Jamie Dukes. He's a Texans hater and never gives us credit when we win. The show will repeat during the Lions/Saints game and when that is over NFL GameDay Final will take over.
