Official Texans @ Broncos Game Thread, 12/26/2010

[Arky]

Week 16 takes the 5-9 Texans to Denver to play the 3-11 Broncos. The Broncos three wins were over Seattle, Tennessee and Kansas City. They are currently in the midst of a 5-game losing streak but should have a different look with rookie Tim Tebow at QB. Tebow started last Sunday against Oakland and had the team in the game until late when it got away from them in the 4th quarter. The disappointing, banged-up, in-a-turmoil Texans will be looking to tack on a late season "W".

TV = 3:05 pm, Sunday, CBS

Announcers = Don Criqui, Steve Beuerlein

Well, I should have changed my strategy earlier, but the kool aid has stopped flowing, the glass is now half empty, took a while, so I'll predict Broncos win 30-28. Texans end at 5-11. The worse the better. (note: my heart wishes we were 10-6, in playoffs but, results say time for a change)

I have no idea what's going to happen today - good Texans or bad Texans? Though, the game is seemingly meaningless to many, I think it means a lot to Kubiak and anybody else that wants to be here next year....
