Me too. Is he dressed?I thought Gore was the starter?
I cant see the game either. I guess I should blame myself for starting a 49er.Me too. Is he dressed?I thought Gore was the starter?
I think New Orleans has them both covered if all 3 tie at 3-13.Green Bay & the Jets won to move from 3-12 to 4-12So what exactly happens here if Houston wins? HOU and SF would then be tied at 3-13 ... so I'm assuming the team with the stronger strength of schedule gets the higher draft pick? If so, who had the higher strength of schedule?
I would laugh if this happened. Wasn't SF's total ineptitude part of the reason Leinert stayed in school this season? Leinert: I'm staying at USC and coming out next year (unofficially because the Niners are horrific).The question would be - do the Saints take Reggie Bush or Matt Leinart then - leaving Bush to fall to number 2 or do they trade out of that spot?
SF would be third, I believe.... GB and NYJ in the mix too.From what I have seen if Houston wins, NO has the 1st pick, Hou has the 2nd pick and SF has the 3rd pick...
If Houston loses Houston has 1st pick, NO has 2nd pick and no clue who has 3rd pick...
SF blew it last week by winning, they don't get 1st pick no matter what happens today...
Texans taking Bush would be a mistake - though I think DeAngelo is a better back as well in the pro game.
I would put Williams as the # 4 back currently in the draft. There is no way that guy is 5'9 205. I would love to see his measurables at the combine.Texans taking Bush would be a mistake - though I think DeAngelo is a better back as well in the pro game.
This would just mean that Carr will be on his back even more next year.
Glad I do not own Dom
RB size is overrated. Westbrook, Dunn, Tiki. Little guys can carry the load.I would put Williams as the # 4 back currently in the draft. There is no way that guy is 5'9 205.

It's not just the size (and please don't tell me that Westbrook has carried the load. He gets injured every other game it seems, and Tiki is a sturdy 200 pounds. Warrick Dunn is an exception, and even he does not carry the load, he is not a 20-25 carry player), Williams gains alot of yardage outside the tackles, and has not shown me anything as a receiver.RB size is overrated.

Getting Bush isn't necessarily as important to me as getting the right guy in here to know what to do with the pick. The top pick and the possibilties it brings are very appealing with such a bad team needing a major overhaul. I sure as hell don't trust Casserly to fix this team. If the right move is something like trading down a little bit, getting D'Brick to play LT, and getting an extra pick or two then I'm cool with that, as long as we get the right GM....Come on guys...what is Banks doing chunking downfield, and what in the world is Bradford doing actually holding on to one?Texans taking Bush would be a mistake - though I think DeAngelo is a better back as well in the pro game.

Well it could be messy in Houston if the 3-4 leaves with Capers. Does the defense have the personnel to move to a 4-3? Although, I guess they can't do much worse than this year.I really think if they got the #1, and could secure one of the blue chippers while trading down (Jimmy Williams, D'Brickishaw Ferguson), they need to do it. Especially Ferguson. Pitts can move to guard (his natural position) or right tackle, and it should really help. They also need a safety valve, a tight end who can make the 6-10 yard catches.Getting Bush isn't necessarily as important to me as getting the right guy in here to know what to do with the pick.

Looks like you're right.KEYSI don't think Tony is in on the plan ... uh-oh ...

They're just trying to keep their jobs.It's really not the end of the world if the Texans don't get Bush. Ferguson fits in much better with their current needs. Bush is overrated. He's going to be a very good player, but he's not an automatic all-time great like people are making him out to be.man, I really hate guys that suck all year and then actually show up to play when you DON'T need it. Guys like Babin, Banks, and Bradford need to be cut now...
Haven't heard anything yet, from what I've seen.I have the game on, nothing's been said.Please....what is the status on Carr?
That was better...there must have been a realignment of priorities on the sideline.Coach (non-Capers): "Tony - you need to look at the bigger picture."Looks like you're right.KEYSI don't think Tony is in on the plan ... uh-oh ...

Amazing that four out of Houston's five best players were either out before this game, or hurt during.AJ sprained his ankle in the 1st quarter, all they said was he was in the locker room return questionable...Carr got whacked in the second quarter and held his right arm gingerly as he trotted off. He came back for one series and threw one incompletion. Banks replaced him with 11 seconds left before halftime. I'd say since neither one's back in they're out for the game....
Damn, thanks for the update. I was really counting on Andre.AJ sprained his ankle in the 1st quarter, all they said was he was in the locker room return questionable...Carr got whacked in the second quarter and held his right arm gingerly as he trotted off. He came back for one series and threw one incompletion. Banks replaced him with 11 seconds left before halftime. I'd say since neither one's back in they're out for the game....
If you'd been watching them all year, you'd know that is not a conspiracy. It's consistency.Now that was hilarious.
He ran through about 4 Texans on the way to that touchdown...they were all inches from him, but he was untouched.
Let the conspiracy theories start now.
Oh, I have been. I know. Sadly, behind the Broncos, the Texans are my second-favorite team (grew up in Houston, and on vacation there now).It was a joke, which was admitted by the smiley face.If you'd been watching them all year, you'd know that is not a conspiracy.
