    Heh, not really, he's the only person I've ever put on ignore and kept there. Everyone else I've given second and sometimes third chances because they might have some redeeming quality to them....but a person that constantly talks about their sole accomplishment in life, that they signed up with CF in 1999 rather than in a later year, is not someone that needs to be taken seriously or someone that has anything valuable to add to any discussion.

    Relax. The game has not started.

    This would be a hard game to bet on, but indy looks significantly worse than the texans

    How? They're both .500 teams on the edge of the playoffs.

    The Rockets are much worse in terms of expectations though

    You should do a poll between you and Tinman and see who contributes more

    The last thing Hass wants at 40 is to have another serious injury. If he is thinking of retiring, this year doesn't matter anyway and you are just jeopardizing your long-term health for no reason. If he wants to continue playing, he needs to wait until he is 100% healthy because another serious injury would force him into retirement.

    It's not worth it Hasselbeck, just let Whitehurst get the nod.

    If I respected the opinion of the unwashed masses, I might do that. As it stands, it would tell me nothing valuable.

    Rib injuries can be brutal, if he plays it'll show that he's tough as nails, but it probably wouldn't take much of a hit to take him out of the game.

    Assuming we could get close enough to poke him in the ribs much less deliver a nice form tackle. Last game, he was pretty much getting the ball out in under 2 seconds after reading the off coverage by the DBs.

    Hope the Texans can surprise us this weekend. No time like the present, right?

    The dude should poll how many 2013ers even know who he is.

    Well, hopefully we'd game plan against that. There's no reason to expect many deep passes when you are going up against a QB with a rib injury. Pretty much the only Colt that can burn you deep is TY Hilton, so play a safety over the top on him and play everyone else looking to jump routes on short passes.

    If they hold on to the ball, we'll need Clowney to make some plays or for Watt to fight past being one handed. Getting ANY hits on the QB, even ones that don't result in sacks will be huge. I mean, not roughing the passer type stuff, but if you can put a hit on Hasselbeck as or slightly after he releases the ball, he's not going to be able to take many of those hits....I mean, at least he shouldn't be able to depending on the severity of his rib injury.

    Cushing and Clowney missed practice, but BOB said they will play.

    Those two plus Watt may not be 100%

    Nobody is 100% at this point in the year except maybe the kicker

    Is this the year the Texans finally win in Indianapolis? The Dolphins broke their winless streak against us...records are meant to be broken. Lets go lets go

    Because it was a separate paragraph in your post, I assumed it was a separate thought...saying that nothing is worse than the Texans getting into the playoffs with a .500 or worse record. I don't understand why getting into the playoffs is ever a bad thing.
