Good luck all. This will be pinned once the game starts

Be cool, there will be a venting and bragging thread as well as an injury thread coming soon.

I liked the announcers talking about how good a blocker Hines Ward was on Willie Parkers TD so when they zoom in on slow motion it's so obvious that he is holding they have to admit it.

What does this say about Slaton? I drafted him late. Is he going to be the main man? That's 4 carries in the 1st qtr!

FOr thoses watching, did Ward somehow have an 80 yd catch that had offsetting penalties? Sportsline is showing stats but not field position. TIA

Yeah 80 yard catch negated by offensive pass interference on Ward and then offset with a facemask on the Texan who tackled him.

Wille Parker just tied his TD total for the whole year last year.

Wow! Lamar Woodley already looks like a star.

In other news, Slaton is getting the bulk of carries for Houston. Something to really keep an eye on...

Absolutely amazing one handed INT for the Steelers there. Everything going wrong for the Texans.

~~~~~~

Slaton getting the bulk of the carries with Ahman Green in on obvious 3rd down passing situations. Slaton's stats won't look good but the offensive line isn't creating much in the way of holes at all. Steelers did have the #1 run D last year though.

Schaub has taken at least 3 BIG hits so far, and then threw a dumb pick. Coincidence? Uh...

Houston O Line getting throttled. Badly.

How's Hines looking? I'm expecting a rebound year now that he's healthy.

Did you see Ahman Green bowl that person over? Ran right through 'em. Old Ahman of the glorious past.

Oh, wait never mind. It was just a female trainer on the side line.

I was thinking the same thing. And combine it with not tackling, this game has UGLY written all over it for the "Same Ol' Sorry Azsz Texans".

Very good, but as pointed out, the Houston secondary looks pretty bad.

Andre Johnson seeing a lot of work as well. I think this guy remains as a steady top 10 WR, maybe top 5.

That INT was Favre-like. Horrible decision by Schaub

Schaub just threw second INT. Right to a defender. I'm ready to see Rosenfels. Who has been the best QB in Houston for the last several years.

He's gotten one and they've had him in a couple times where they went play action.

Should have tried to get in harder. The offense is going backwards.

And Houston O is anemic. It's like they didn't even try to score a TD after the turnover. Just laid down and played for a FG.

Mario is the real deal in case in anyone was still wondering.

Offensive line has been horrible, but Schaub is making some bad decisions too. He definitely still looks like a QB only in is 2nd year starting.

Stout Pitt Defense.

Schaub has a grand total of 12 starts to his career. I'm willing to give him a little more time.
