[Official] Texans @ Redskins

Why "fock", sir?

 

I agree. I don't get it. If anything, then this is just a big game for the Cowboys and a not-so-big game for the Texans in the sense that one team desperately needs a win and the other wants to win for rivalry reasons but not necessarily because they have to.

This should be a really good game imo...and that's what we all want. Of course, when you say "should be" about the cowboys...that can translate into all sorts of things. lol

 

Skip Bayless just said on ESPN that the Texans are only the 3rd best team in the AFC South and will not make the playoffs

 

Skip Bayless is from Dallas = idiot

 

The Texans should take that as a compliment.

Skip Bayless is a loud-mouthed moron.

 

Skip Bayless is the George Costanza of the sports world. Everything he says, thinks, or does, is polar opposite of what is correct.

 

He put us behind the Titans too!? Wow, his comments are almost as bad as his suits.

 

I think people are just being snarky, since the cowboys are supposed to be unbeeetable and superbowl contenders. Snark aside, winless teams are the most dangerous. Dallas desperately needs that win and will bring their A game.

 

I agree with this, but Dallas is horrible...is it a trap game for the Texans, absolutely...Dallas needs a win and the Texans can afford to lose...I still think the Texans will win which hopefully gives the Texans some good cred and nice pub...

 

i'd be more concerned if he said we were the AFC South's best team. that guy has as much credibility as witches running for office.

 

I see what you did there and I approve.

 

texans cant afford to lose any games until they are definitely in the playoffs. They need every game they can get.

Dallas will come in here pumped up, without a doubt. But I think the texans will know how important this game is, not only in the W column, but to the city.

I wonder if it will be almost 50/50 like the preseason game.

 

Skip Bayless very literally goes on the air just wanting to say something that goes against the grain to be sensationalist. If you asked him his opinion, off camera 5 minutes later, he probably wouldn't even remember what he said.

Listening to what he has to say about anything makes less sense than using the Sports Guy's NFL picks to lay bets.

 

Any idea if we're going all red on Sunday? That would be awesome.

Edit: Just found my own answer. Texans.com says Blue Jersey/White Pants. Wish we were going with some sort of red.

 

Cowboys homer.

Wrote three BEST SELLING BOOKS about the Dallas Cowboys.

I can **** on a silver platter and throw a blue star on it, and people would buy it.

 

I don't like the blue jerseys.

White>Red>Blue

 

Agreed. Our schedule is too tough to lose games we should win. That killed us last year. Ignoring the Kris Brown issues (but not the Chris Brown issues) we should've handily beat Jacksonville both times we played them... obviously that would've gotten us to 11 wins.

After the week 7 bye, we have 6 of 10 on the road, 5 of them against teams that beat us or made the playoffs last season (Indy, JVille, NYJ, Philly, Tenn). We need to take care of business this weekend, every weekend.

I'm hoping that we find the balance we've lacked this weekend. Love seeing Schaub and Foster break records, but I'd rather see 180 total rushing yards and like 275 passing. Definitely less than 50 pass attempts and 30 rush attempts (from one back).

NOT complaining though. These guys are good... really good... and we'll get Jeremiah Johnson back to diversify. We'll get OD up to speed. Kareem will grow up. I'm optimistic for the first time with this team.

 

Don't forget about that Cushing fellow.

 

Key numbers for 2-0 Texans

• The Texans overcame a 17-point deficit at 27-10 to win the game. It was the second-largest come-from-behind win in team history. Houston came from 18 points behind to beat Tennessee on Nov. 28, 2004 (31-21 final).
