    The Texans were largely awful in prime time last season, thus we are in the "nobody really wants to see game." Hope we make them sorry they missed it. Let's do this. I want this game to get us excited about the season.

    Not really worried how we start. How we finish, is a whole different story.

    Start of the game or start of the season? The Texans are two weeks away from a three game meat grinder. It's critical they get a win tonight and it's critical they get a win next week, because they play the Ravens, Seahawks, and 49ers after that, with two of those games being on the road.

    As we suspected, NFL network reporting Ed Reed is out for tonight's game.

    Talk about a "bump" in the schedule; it is imperative that we go in 2-0. I will be happy if we win one of those three. Ecstatic if we win two. In another world if we sweep.

    Exactly. Last year in week 1:
    Cardinals 20 Seahawks 16
    Jets scored 48 points vs the Bills

    Not to mention that the Texas are missing a good number of players on defense. Daryl Sharpton is going to be missed. Only 3 ILBs on the active roster.

    Are you just playing up the meme or did I miss something and Sharpton is out?

    It means there are only 3 ILBs on the active roster. That could be a problem with fatigue and any possible injuries. I haven't heard or read anything about having anybody else available to play ILB.

    Sharpton is so annoying.

    in a pinch Reed might move over but outside of that, anyone else would have to be replaced with someone from the street

    There aren't exactly quality OLBs lining up to play if Reed moves over.

    Linebacker is very thin this year.

    You do understand there is an entire section of the board devoted to the Rockets, right? If not, here you go:

    Put up or shut up for schaub and kubiak this season. Pretty sure most experts don't pick us as superbowl contenders because of the QB and gary's conservative style. Lets prove them wrong.
