Most likely... but there's still a small chance. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000...t-unlikely-to-play?module=HP11_headline_stack
It's gonna be an emotional crowd today in New Orleans. Today marks the 5 year anniversary of the Superdome, a night Saints fans will never forget. And the Saints are bring back the hero from that game and one of the all-time local fan favorites, Steve Gleason to be an honorary captain and likely lead the pre-game Who Dat chant. He was recently disagnosed with ALS. The dome will be absolutely electric when he steps on the field and that energy will carry into the start of the game. The Texans are going to have to try to weather that early wave of emotion and take the crowd out of it early, or else it could get rough.
Honestly, for a team like the Saints, I think Tate would work just as well as Foster. I actually like the fact that he's gotten 4.7 ypc without having the supposed "big play ability". For someone with that ypc despite having at best an 18yd run really shows how solid he is at getting the 3-8 yard runs. We really need to eat the clock against the Saints and keep Schaub's WTF throws to a minimum. After all, the NO defense isn't good, but it's opportunistic. I want a back than can keep getting 1st downs even if he never breaks one for 20+ yards.
i tried to sleep until 11:59 today. Woke up at 7:20 to pee and haven't been able to get any shut eye since.
Almost here bro. I went to the bar last night, got back at 4, and woke up at 10:30. lol to me its almost here
the texans would win today If I was coach. Im a better coach than wade or kubes.If you want specifics, I can give you them. Instead of starting mario and barwin, i would start bryan braman and bullman. On the first play of game, I instruct braman and bullman to jackknife brees and take him out of the game. Sure, brees will leave on a stretcher, and his kid might start crying in the stands. So what. Im about winning. Im a winner. Im nasty. I want to win superbowl, not just "play the right way" or "make the playoffs" like Kubiak. This is the big boy league Kubes, not aTm. then, after braman and bullman are ejected for decapitating brees, I put in mario and barwin and win the game easily. Thats how you beat the big boys. Fire with fire. Good guys finish last and thats why i dont trust wade or kubiak,both are nice guys. I hope if any of you put money on this game , you picked saints regardless of line. I would then, hope I have an owner that will pay the fines for me and my players. If the owner wont pay the fines under table,then he isnt about winning. This is a nasty league. You have to win at all costs. The reason I never played football is because it would snap my neck.The texans need to start hurting people instead of singing kumbayah before and after the games in the lockerroom.
Anniversary of the SuperDome incident did not know that . . . that changes some things 27-20 Texans Rocket River
The thing we'll miss with Foster is his receiving yards. Schaub has to be on his A game. No underthrown INTs please.
