[Andy Hicks]

Post things as they happen here.

 

[Andy Hicks]

This will be pinned once play begins

 

[Buckna]

Let's go Houston!

Lord Peppers scares me with our O'line. Schaub may be running for his life today. Steve Smith scares me with our paper thin secondary.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

I am thrilled to have this game on my TV screen!

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Mathis KR to the 40. Flag on the play. Holding.

 

[Buckna]

Texans Jerome Mathis 40 yard return on opening kickoff negated by holding.

 

[Buckna]

Nice 11 yard run up the gut on 3rd & 10 by Ahman Green.

Edit: Dropped for a loss of -1 by Peppers on the next play. Peppers pretty much unblocked.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Illegal formation penalty takes away a catch by AJ.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Dayne screen for a first down!

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Bad spot!

 

[Buckna]

Ugh, nice AJ catch over the middle negated because the LT didn't line up on line of scrimmage.

Crappy spot on Ron Dayne's screen up the middle. Texans have to punt.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Steve Smith!

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Houston D doing their Chicago impression v Steve Smith.

 

[Buckna]

Corner slips down giving Steve Smith a nice gain on 3rd & 6.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Delhomme to Vick: eat your heart out!

 

[Buckna]

Jeff King with a nice little basket catch for the 1st. Thought that play was blown up, Delhomme had a d'lineman in his face.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

LOL! Nice catch.

 

[Buckna]

TD Steve Smith. Faggins covered him well and popped the pass up in the air, but SS made a heads up play to catch the ball coming back down.

 

[GrossmanToHester]

TD Steve Smith. Faggins covered him well and popped the pass up in the air, but SS made a heads up play to catch the ball coming back down.

Just saw the replay.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Time for Steve Smith again!

You can't stop Delhomme, you can only hope to contain him.

 

[Buckna]

Owen Daniels fumble. Kubiak challenging.

Owen Daniels left knee looks down to me before he loses the football, but it's close.

Edit: Looks to close to overturn to me.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Texans are starting to look like their old selves a bit...

Short field for Delhomme and Smith...

 

[Buckna]

Carolina keeps the ball, gets to start on the Houston 13.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Smith!

 

[Buckna]

Steve Smith again. Faggins couldn't tackle him.

God I wish we had a #2 corner.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Almost before I can type it...TOUCHDOWN!!! Delhomme to Smith AGAIN!

Delhomme with 2 TD already...might be seeing a lot of Williams and Foster in the 2nd half.

 

[Gold Plated Nails]

Smith!

Thats why he is the #1 WR. Luv that guy.

 

[Johnny Ice]

Steve Smith is such a monster.

 

[scott72]

Wow, even when everyone and their grandma knows its going to Smith they can't stop him..Hilarious..

 

[Buckna]

Carolina bites on the play action. Deep pass to AJ!

 

[Buckna]

Steve Smith is good but so is ANDRE!!!!

Edit: Great play calling and execution. TE bumped and caused 2 carolina defenders to run into each other. Freed up AJ who just ran away with it and no one could catch him.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Andre Johnson = TO + Harrison

 

[omally]

A. Johnson is going to have a great year.

 

[prymetyme25]

Last years team would not have responded like that.

 

[Buckna]

Gee, we finally decided to roll our #1 corner over to Steve Smith. Hope it helps.

Mario just murdered DeAngelo Williams.

 

[Cowboys#1]

mario with a nice hit on deangelo

 

[Ignoramus]

Nasty boot there. Good to see Daniels get thrown to again after the fumble.

 

[Buckna]

Nice boot by Schaub, even cameraman got faked out briefly. I know it's early, but Schaub and Carr are like night and day.

 

[prymetyme25]

yes sir!!!!

 

[Buckna]

Target for Jacoby Jones, but he didn't have much chance at catching it. Schaub had a lot of pressure on 3rd & 5 there.

TO Houston to think about going for it on 4th down.

 

[Ignoramus]

4th and 4 from the CAR 36 and the Texans are lining up to go for it but they call timeout. God I hate that. If you've made your decision to go for it, line up and run your play.

 

[Buckna]

Daniels with great YAC and converts the 4th & 4 for Hou!

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Owen Daniels = solid muscle. Very poor throw there.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Schaub threw it where only the defender could catch it.

 

[Ignoramus]

Schaub really forced that one. AJ was bracketed and the ball was thrown well short.

 

[Buckna]

Dang, Schaub forced it to AJ and under threw it. INT. If he had put more on that and over AJ's shoulder that might have been a TD.

 

[prymetyme25]

Shaubs gonna have to learn that if he wants AJ to make a play he's gonna have to get the ball in the air.

 

[Ignoramus]

INT being challenged - gonna be overturned.

 

[Buckna]

INT is gonna be overturned. No way that's a catch on the INT. Hou may catch a break here.

 

[Houston turmOiler]

gonna overturn the INT looks like...
