Official Texans @ Patriots Game Thread, 12/10/2012

[TheMatrix31]

Let's go, baby!

Take care of the ball, play smart, keep Brady on the sidelines, no shitty throws for Schaub, MAKE TACKLES, and just don't let the Patriots win in typical late Patriot Luck fashion if they have to win tonight.

I don't know how this game will turn out. I really don't. I hope our secondary is up to the task.

On the band, found this in New 0haven , Connecticut Gazette-

The Shiny Lapel Trio, a band of Shoreline 40-somethings, has been slugging it out in Connecticut bars, restaurants and on local town greens for a few years now. But come tonight, they’re going to find themselves in different company.

One of their songs, “Rock-A-Betty Swing,” will open Monday Night Football telecast on ESPN, putting them in a slot previously occupied by bands like the Rolling Stones, Los Lonely Boys and The Charlie Daniels Band.

The song, just recorded with ESPN’s backing, will air between the 8:25 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. kickoff of the game between the New England Patriots and Houston Texans, then again before the start of the second half, said drummer Richard Talarczyk of Guilford.

[Arky]

Ridley for 4.

Ridley for big gainer. 15(?) yards.

Ridley for 4.

Brady's pass off the mark over the middle, inc. 3rd and 6 coming up.

Brady's deep pass off the mark, inc but holding on the Texans (Harris) gives the Pat an auto 1st down at the Texan 29.

Pass to Welker goes all the way to the 4 yard line.

Gah, Ridley gains a yard, fumbles, but the Pats recover at the 7 yard line.

Dumpoff to Hernandez goes for the TD.

Pats 7, Texans 0

9:27 left in the 1st quarter.

Awful playcalling. Awful preparation.
