Thanks for supporting the DFW economy Texans fans. We appreciate your cash. Goodnight, drive home safely...
Nice effort by your team today, Texans fans. I know a lot of y'all picked the Cowboys to win this one pretty big but I felt going into this one today it'd be a dogfight. After the effort we had against the Saints last week I thought there might be an emotional drop off.

Fitzpatrick is serviceable but y'all clearly need a qb. Foster looks like he can still bring it though.

Good luck Thursday night with Indy.



10-7, start of the 4th qutr.....been a close one, boys..... Originally Posted by Chateau Becot

Dallas has a very high powered offense and they held them to 17 in regulation time. That makes me feel that as they continue to improve they might be able to pound out about four more wins. So I am revising my original prediction of 5 wins now to 7.

Also Dallas played a bad game actually. More bad time management from Garrett. Questionable toughness (or heart) when you can't run out the clock with a little over three minutes left in the game with the leading rusher in the league. It shouldn't have been that close...

You 'Romosexuals' get all 'expert' and stuff pretty quickly. I'm not sure.. but... oh yeah.... down there in the bottom right corner of my screen....................... it's only October 5th, for God's sake.

Emotional let down?............. it's fucking football.......... now Jerry's face when Bailey missed the 53 yarder in regulation.... that was an emotional letdown. You gotta love ol' Jer.

Is this really what ya'll talk about?...... "Next week, I hope Tony doesn't have an emotional let down after last weeks close game to Houston. He needs to not kick himself for not exploiting Houston's weak secondary more than he did. He has a lot of pressure here from the fans and media and he may not have shaken off the Saints game yet."

Please read the above with the gayest, whiniest voice you can muster up.

But, you won. All that counts.

Good grief man, calm down. I mentioned I'm more of a Niners fan. Just observations. Whether Dallas (or SF) win or lose is not going to affect my life one iota- I've got better perspective than that. Of more concern is hoping and praying my friends and family up there are not affected by the incompetent hospital administrators not properly handling that Ebola patient. No gay, whiny voice used. Carry on...

Damn, I can't get made at the Bambino.... he was the best... and.... I can't get mad at anybody from the 'Steeler Nation' either. Grew up Lydell Mitchell and Franco Harris fan.

Cheers.

We wouldn't be getting Brady in his prime even if he did choose to come here...but it's better than what we have. And I don't see why he wouldn't come here. What, is he going to the Titans instead? We have some good core players, all the other decent teams have QB's already.

And yea the Pats are known to dismiss guys but if anyone was untouchable up there I thought it was Brady. The backup, Jimmy G, does look like a stud though.

Personally I hope they get trounced by the Bengals as you say but the Pats tend to make adjustments quite well. Can't remember the last time they were punked two weeks in a row. I would enjoy it though...

Agreed, but after seeing what happened with Manning in Indy, and other great QB's in the past, I'm not surprised anymore with great QB's leaving their respective teams, the relationships almost always don't end well.

I think we have common rooting interests tonight. I wouldn't be surprised to see our hopes come through fruition. This isn't the same Pats team we've seen in the past. They haven't played well all year, I'm going to be very surprised to just see some magical adjustments come from out of the blue against arguably the most complete team in the league.

Texans main problem is at QB Fritz can't push the ball down the field so every short pass is contested and unless it is Foster the run game suffers. Might as well play Mallet if all you are going to do is hand off and throw 5 yard passed

And hoping you're right about tonite. They do seem different this year, but I just can't see it happen two weeks in a row like I said. Surely Logan Mankins wasn't that much of a loss was he? Lol

Good point BL. And Mallet can sling it...
