Official Texans vs. Panthers Game Thread, 12/18/2011

[HPF Bob]

Can the Texans keep up their intensity without a playoff berth on the line and without their defensive coordinator on the sidelines? Will TJ Yates be able to score points without Andre Johnson in the lineup? Is Can Newton stoppable for four quarters?

After the game, the Texans could get help from the Broncos or the Chargers in their quest for a first-round bye.
