QFT... we've got to try and at least match last year's finishing kick (5-2) to have a chance at the playoffs. A win over the Jags gets us back to even with them in the head-to-head tiebreaker.

East - Pats
North - Bengals
South - Colts
West - Chargers
WC1 - Steelers
WC2 - Texans/Jags/Ravens/Broncos/Dolphins will be fighting for this last spot.

We kind of control our destiny in that we play the Jags and the Dolphins. I'm hoping the loser of the SD/Den game this weekend goes into a tailspin and falls out of contention. Ravens and Steelers splitting their two games head-to-head would help as well.

All said and done we need to win at least 5 of these games. We should do it.

Agreed, it needs start Monday Night. That's the most important game on the schedule since it's the next one up!

For those attending and tailgating...Preliminary report is the roof will be closed, 60% chance of precipitation, per houstontexans.com.

Hope the rain staus away, and alot can change between now and then. I love night games with the roof open, but it can be defeaning loud with the top closed, and enough of us yelling with numerous adult beverages in the system.

Keep it closed, get loud as hell.

The Hines real estate firm is taking a page from the University of Texas' playbook when it comes to showing gridiron spirit.

On Monday, "Texans" will be spelled out in lights on the south face of Williams Tower for that night's game between the Houston Texans and the Tennessee Titans.

UT lights up its tower with the number "1" when its football team scores a victory.

Most everybody knows the 64-story Williams Tower, formerly the Transco Tower, is the Galleria-area skyscraper at 2800 Post Oak Blvd. topped with a revolving beacon of light.

Spelled vertically, Hines said "Texans" will take up 390 feet and 242 windows.

Each letter will be more than 5 stories - or 65 feet - tall. And each letter will be 35 feet wide

And lets just make sure the MNF production gets the word.

Current forecast for Monday calls for a high of 75º with a low of 58º for Monday night. 10% chance of rain. I think that means the roof will be open so look for those aerial shots of Reliant and undoubtedly the Williams/Transco tower....

I have to say, I don't remember too many night games with the roof open. Of course, that may have something to do with the aforementioned adult beverages.

IIRC, the Broncos game was open.

From the Chronic:

Running back Steve Slaton will be back in the starting lineup Monday night when the Texans host the Tenn Titans.

Slaton found out today he would start after having a good week of practices. Ryan Moats started the 20-17 loss to Indianapolis on Nov. 8 because Slaton had lost five fumbles.

“I had an assumption that I would start, but nothing was concrete until now," Slaton said after being told by coach Gary Kubiak that he would be starting. “I'm happy about it. It's an opportunity I have to take full advantageof.”

J-Ville last year, Monday night football and Denver the year before in December.

iirc, the Sunday Nighter against the Chiefs in 2005 was with an open roof. T'was a forgettable affair though, so maybe I'm not remembering it right.
