The 2010 season is finally here, for realz. Which team shows up today?

I'm so nervous and hyped. Couldn't sleep right now even if I tried, it's 2:38am here.

Well, it should be fun, but it's just one game of a long season. My prediction is that win or lose, the fans will overreact. It happens every year.

What I'm looking for from the Texans today is a running game that looks better than last year's, and a pass rush that is better than last year's. If we get that, I won't be too disappointed even if we lose.

I don't know about the pass rush, but I think we may legitimately have a two headed monster with Foster and Slaton. As long as Kubiak is creative with his playcalling.

It truly is just one of 16 but man:

a. A chance to beat the Colts

b. division game - golden opportunity to improve on last year's poor record

c. a chance to start the season with bang (or a thud)

I'll use the old standby here: win the turnover battle, win the game.

Just please don't let it come down to a field goal, heh.
