    Texans can only beat who they play. They have dominated both teams.

    I agree with Sterling Sharpe ;)

    Less than 24 hours till kickoff!

    BTW it was funny how they kept showing the Bears games as a measuring stick about the Saints defense. The Bears O-line sucks.

    This game is the absolute perfect measuring stick for this team. The defense has had two regular season games to get warmed up for a high octane offense. The offense didnt play great last week, but I'm thinking it was a fluke. It's time to put up or shut up. I don't necessarily expect a win, but its certainly possible. My heart is now warmed up to feel the emotions of a close NFL game. A win, and I'll start getting excited for the playoffs. A loss, and I'll be down a little bit.


    I feel like football season is finally here, as sad as that is to say. The next four to five weeks, we, as fans, are going to see some exciting football. We will know a ton about this team in a few weeks. I could see us going 5-0 , but I can see a disaster scenario of 0-5, also. Either way, CAN'T WAIT!

    It's because Rodgers burned them basically every time they sent extra guys. Matt will have to be able to react fast if he wants to have a chance tomorrow. He's due for a monster game though. Hope this is the week.

    If we get a few scores ahead and start going into eat-up-clock mode, the Saints are as good as gone.

    Very True.
    The best and probably only legit football analysis show on ESPN is titled NFL Matchup. It's produced by NFL films and has access to all the coaches' tapes. It just doesn't air often...I don't know why. The hosts go over hours of tape each week and state that NFL coaches watch the show too. Biggest problem is that it airs at 3:30am and 7:30am every Sunday....that's it. The hosts are Hodge, Jaworski, and Sal Paolantonio. Best "insiders" typed show out there.

    Merrill Hodge is a legit analyst, Jaworski is pretty good also, the rest just feed B/S looking at stats without ever actually watching most teams games.

    So now that it seems that Foster won't play.... I expect Tate to get at least 110 yds.

    Hmm..I have tate going for 160 on 35 carries. Because they rushed 14 straight times to burn the clock in the the fourth. :grin:

    Gameday! wooo.

    Can't wait...

    I thought I was excited for opening day. Then they had to go all 2-0 on me and get my expectations up. Again. This time it seems real though. Please win this game.
