Schaub sucks because Wilfork's abusing the right side of the OL.

This game is not out of hand but if the Pats score again before the Texans do it will be.

Of course I was thinking the same thing at the half of the Green Bay game. I guess I'm an eternal optimist.

I think so, too. He's streaky though....

Hopefully this is like the Arizona game in 2009. Except not with Chris Brown being impotent and not being able to get it across the line from one yard out three times in a row.
