    There are a lot of unfounded opinions here.

    Remember when Jacoby scored that 80 yard TD in Tampa on the first play of the game?

    Yeah, me too.

    We've still seen that quite a bit this year... albeit not on the first play, but definitely within the first drive. (had one in Denver, had one against Jax, and had one against Indy... I believe all to AJ80).

    This also clearly depends on how the defense is playing. If they're stacking the box, then you know you'll have one-on-one coverage deep somewhere. If they're not, then there's really no sense risking a low-percentage throw into double coverage just to "set the mood."

    Tickets "opened up" at 10:02 for me. I remember last year tickets already being sold out by that time.

    I was able to get 3 tickets, but none are together. 2 club level, 1 field level.

    As much as I want to be optimistic about this game, reading the quotes from Tuesday practice makes me unsure.

    Especially Schaub's quotes. I don't understand why that dude is complacent. He needs to understand that he's been sucking it up, but he just approaches this game like any other. Truth is, if we want a Super Bowl winning team, we deserve a quarterback who has the passion to go forward.

    For that I say we lose

    Being realistic doesn't equal bandwagon fan.

    Moreover, beating the Bengals doesn't mean folks will think all is well and "hop back on", so to speak. I'm as down on the Texans as anyone, and I think there's a decent chance they win Saturday. However, I'm still going to be pissed as ever, because this team's self-inflicted collapse means we'll be travelling to New England as opposed to hosting Indianapolis or Baltimore.

    Oh I know, and I'm just as pessimistic as everyone else. I'm just trying to convince myself.

    Texans 28
    Bengals 16

    Dalton can't do anything at the mercy of JJ Watt's hands. Arian Foster returns to the promised land. Schaub redeems himself, but all of CF.net fandom still can't call him Elite, no matter what he does. :rolleyes:

    ¡¡¡VAMOS, TEXANS!!!!!
    Being a REAL fan means saying "F*** you" to Albert Haynesworth and also Katy boy Dalton. ;) Can you do it, man? CAN YOU?

    The way they are playing, I'd rather them get beat on the road... as opposed to suffering a humiliating loss at home to the Colts or Ravens.

    In the end, the season played itself out to reveal the best teams. The Broncos certainly haven't beaten anybody great, but they are playing more consistently on both sides of the ball than the Texans are. The Pats are the best team in the AFC... but they certainly aren't invincible in the playoffs.
