    Man, 5 more days till our first preseason game vs. those damn BRONCOS!!! Can't wait!

    - Is this offensive line is going to protect Carr this season?
    - Gotta see Superman AJ gel with Bradford, Gaffney, and hopefully Speedster Mathis!
    - Are linebackers Babin and Peek going to rip through the opponent's OL and sack the QB this year?
    - Our corners shut down the opponent's WRs?

    Questions to be answered, but damn...I'M PUMPED!

    Peek will get 10+ sacks this season. He's going to dominate. :)

    I'm PUMPED about football in general, but not really about Texans football. I hope i'm wrong, but I see them being an 8-8 team at best.

    Embarasingly, my excitement of the upcomming season stems from the release of Madden 2006 as much as the actual games :eek: .

    Like Matt Hasselbeck says in the EASports promo video:

    I'm excited about the preseason game too.

    I'm pumped about seeing how our rookies are going to do and see how the O-Line does. If both sides perform well, this should be a very exciting season.

    That Hasselbeck quote is hilarious. Can't wait to pick up the game myself. Also looking foward to seeing AJ's improvement, and the hype around Mathis.

    Don't forget about Derrick Armstrong. I think he has a chance to become a legit 3rd WR in this league. I think its obvious the key areas we must improve on last season are o-line and rushing the qb.

    Nope. I'll watch it on TV, but I won't get emotional about it. I ceased being interested in the NFL when the Oilers left.

    My bad. I meant I'll watch them during the regular season simply because there's not much else to do at time (assuming that there are no good movies on Lifetime).

    Hell yes I'm pumped! As much as I love the Rockets, football is still my favorite sport. I'm splitting bull pen season tickets again with my brother, I can't wait!

    I'm pumped about my trip to Baltimore the first weekend of December. Me and my brother have 40 yard line seats to the Ravens-Texans game in Baltimore that weekend. Prolly gonna get mighty trashed drinking whiskey while tailgating in freezing weather.

    sad to say, but I'm the same. I'm trying to come around...

    Would have been a he// of a lot easier if we had drafted DJ (the longhorn version). i need a lathon-like athletic freak on this team to get fully behind them. maybe peek will be "that guy".

    I am excited. I have been waiting for football for awhile. I have season tickets, so I will be tailgating Saturday. Hopefully the rain will let up for a couple of days before hand so we won't be out in a field of mud. I love me some football.
