Texans first play from scrimmage was a 64 yard touchdown pass. Texans over Seattle, 7-0.

Well guys I'm going to spend the next few hours flipping thru the 1pm games...

Then settle down and watch the Cowboys with my Cowboy fan wife..We decided to roast a Chicken for dinner…Nothing better than ‘Roasted Birds’ prior to an Eagles game. Good luck today..you have home-field advantage and the weather is perfect for football, just make sure there is no chance of thunderstorms by keeping the ‘bolts’ in check..

Stop

Abusing your wife and root for the Cowboys! Just kidding. I just tried to imagine my husband being a Giants fan, and I think we’d be so incompatible it’s not even funny. Heck, I’d be crazy if he went Democrat. But I’m ok that we’re of different faith backgrounds.

Hmm, maybe I should re-prioritize

not really

just a slow first quarter. they only had 1 possession

by ab03 on Dec 13, 2009 12:39 PM CST up reply actions  

why do you argue stupid stuff?

they had one full possession and 1 play of another possession before the quarter ended. that possession is still going on through the 2nd quarter. they haven’t gone 3 and out yet…and they just scored

by ab03 on Dec 13, 2009 12:44 PM CST up reply actions  

and you were wrong

saying the saints had two possessions in the 1st quarter when they had 1 full possession and 1 play of another possesion is wrong.

well

i was right on my last post when i said the saints only had 1 possesion in the 1st quarter. so, 1 for 1 there. whereas you were wrong about that. you also thought it was interesting that hte saints only scored a fg in the 1st – even though they have yet to punt in the game. so, wrong again

Especially Since

The Saints scored a TD on their second possession. It’s true to say the Saints were held to a FG in the first quarter, but highly misleading to claim they had two possessions.

same old unstoppable saints Offense.

their defense is the only thing that maybe looks suspect right now giving up two long drives. but i doubt we can win a shootout against the saints.

guess we’ll see how good our shootout skills are today

you have to score TDs against the Saints

right

if the falcons scored a touchdown on every possession against the saints they would win the game. I bet if we score a touchdown on every possession against the saints, we’d probably win too.

is that true? I understand why you’d think you want the giants to lose because of the tie break but I’m much more scared of philly than the giants. if philly is the one challenging us for a playoff spot and we have to win the division to get in, I don’t want to play them on the last day of the season. much rather go into that game with philly playing for nothing

This is the way I see it

There are 2 stops for the wild card. If the Cowboys had won last week we wouldn’t even be having this conversation, because I would have a lot more faith in the Boys winning the division. As it stands now, we’ve managed to breathe new life into the Giants and put them back into what appears to be a tight 3 (actually 4) way competition for those two spots. Just sayin…

It's Because Fox Is Carrying the Game

And there are secondary regional market associations with teams. In San Antonio, Dallas is the primary team, and New Orleans (another NFC team) is the secondary market. Since Houston is in the AFC, Fox has no association with them. Ergo, you get the Saints. It’s been that way for at least 15-20 years.

by kindablue on Dec 13, 2009 1:28 PM CST up reply actions  

Weird.

I’ve seen every HOU game this season up until this week. Glad I’m not a Texans fan.

by Aaron Novinger on Dec 13, 2009 1:29 PM CST up reply actions  

It's Because of the Networks

CBS carries the Texans, except when an NFC team is the visitor. Then Fox carries them. That scheme has been in place since I first started watching the NFL in the early 1970’s. There’s an unwritten policy about primary and secondary markets. In San Antonio, Fox carries the Cowboys. If they’re not playing, then Fox will choose the secondary market team. That’s the Saints, not the Texans.

It leads to oddities like this, and frankly I’ve never been crazy about it.

by kindablue on Dec 13, 2009 1:35 PM CST up reply actions  

If the Saints Weren't Playing

Then Fox would have the option of carrying the Texans.

They could have shown both Dallas and Houston, but because of the secondary market arrangements that Fox has, they broadcast the Saints instead. Long story. Read above.

Heck, I’m not sure anyone on that team now was even on it in 04.

Bears down 6. Bengals down 3.Falcons with chris redman down 7. I don’t care about the Saints that much, but it would be helpful if those other results changed.

I’m rooting for cincy cause if we were to get the 6 seed I would much rather play minny than arizona.

If Packers win this, they likely go 10-6 at worst, which is a big problem.

24 points is probably a solid OU line

they got 1 stop

and 1fg and the rest was all long TD drives. if that’s what happens to the cowboys, they will need to score like the Saints every time – meaning they will have to have the best offensive game of the season against them.

the d will have to be much better than what the falcons have done. they’re going to at least have to stop the saints on half their possessions

by ab03 on Dec 13, 2009 2:18 PM CST up reply actions  

not true

Falcons just got a stop and made Saints kick a FG. Saints have a really good offense, but they can be contained.

Falcons have an average defense and they only have put up 26

And there is no question in my mind our offense can put up a lot of points on them

by Terry on Dec 13, 2009 2:31 PM CST up reply actions  

you realize how this isn't a real prediction

yes, if you stop the saints offense, you can score 7 against the D and win 7-0. Stopping the Saints O is the game. You are focusing on their weakness as if that is the key to beating the saints. Find me a way to stop the Saints O.

they just called intentional grounding on brees for throwing it out of the back of the endzone and no being near a wr.

that call is so subjective, i hate it.

+100

i’ve never seen it go our way, but it always seems to bite us in the rear.

but i’m glad to see a stud QB like Brees make the same mistake. that makes me less apt to scream at #9 next time…

Sounds like it may be Ice Bowl II - The sequel..

I was at the first one…My buddy asked me if I wanted anything from the concession stand..I said yes I’ll have a coffee..Next thing I know about 20 minutes later is my name being called: “Bobby”..I turned and looked around and there he was..He didn’t buy coffee..he bought two beers..and they were literally frozen to his hands!!..I had to pry them off..The Meadowlands was 75 miles South of where we lived..It took us 69 miles to thaw out..I had another friend across the field who caught pnemonia..I can’t even to this day remember who won..I think those memory cells suffered frostbite!

and yet the common line on the board is that their D is weak

w/ Romo’s ability to throw up some stinkers, their ballhawking D worries me…

That packers win means we have three roads to the playoffs

1. win 3 and get one other east game to go our way

2. win 2, one of those being beatign philly

3. win 2, don’t beat philly, but giants also go 2-2

I’m assuimg 9-7 doesn’t make it, but i guess it could if the giants go 1-3 as well.
