Official Texans vs. Patriots Game Thread, 01/03/2010

I hope that for once the Texans can string together two consecutive halves of quality football.

With Denver benching Marshall, who knows maybe that game could go KC's way. Then hopefully the Bengals will decide theyd rather play the Texans than the Jets and theyll actually show up for the game tonight. And who knows, maybe the Raiders will have one of their rare games where they show up and be competitive...

Its a long shot, I know, but Im just excited at the very possibility of the playoffs after these last 8 years. At bare minimum, let's go out there and get our first winning season!

I'm wondering why he haven't seen Arian Foster earlier this season. It's not like our run-game should have precluded giving him a shot before week 16.

Dreesen wide open over the middle for 6 pts! 25 yards.

Texans 7, Pats 0

Nice drive - need about 6 or 7 more of them...

If John Busing makes the roster next season, we have done something terribly wrong during the off-season.
