Hell yes. Houston is a top 3 offense. Did you see what he and AJ did to the Tenn defense last week?
Start him with confidence.

Im debating between Thygpin and Schaub...right now Schaub is in my lineup.

Schaub wouldve been a top 3 QB this yr if he stayed healthy. Just look at his game by game totals. How can you bench him?

I'm just watchin' the weather. We are supposed to get rain in So Cal on Monday. That usually means Bay Area rain on Sunday.

Make it a 3rd looking at Schaub over Warner. I don't like Warner's matchup that much. If Schaub was at home it would be better but I'm rolling with him anyway.
Oh Yes!
Footballguy
i dont know where i read it, but im pretty sure NE doesnt have the best secondary...

I'm looking at him over Romo right now, and leaving Schaub's way.

I got burnt on the Raiders twice with Delhomme and Cutler (2nd start). 3rd times the charm????
Oakland just seem tricky to me. And you can't really compare Houston with NE.Bit surprised, I thought finals teams would not be leaning towards Schaub but here we are (plenty of Romo owners I'm sure?)

I;ve start Cutler every game since I traded for him... this may be the game I make the switch; no one can Cover AJ.

Makes it tough to feel confident going with Schaub this week.
Low passing yardage has to be credited to Oaklands 31st ranked Run Def.

7 TD's and 1 INT over the last two weeks = positive trend makes u want to go with Schaub.

Level 3 Offenders
Footballguy
I'm rolling with Schaub over Mcnabb. To the guys debating between Schaub and Warner if Arizona was playing at home then Warner would definitely be the play. The Pats entire
defense has been devastated by injuries. Brushci (LB), Thomas (LB), Harrison (SS), J. Sanders (FS) are all starters and out this week with J. Sanders having a chance of playing but unlikely. Starters Wilfork (NT) and Warren (DT) have been limited in practice and missed game time recently. Guyton (LB), Alexander (LB), Woods (LB), Wheatley (CB), L. Sanders(S) all get significant minutes and are out or questionable. Our #1 CB Hobbs has been limited in practice this week. Oakland with Jamarcus freakin Russell put up almost 30 on us last Sunday.
The Patriots have been able to overcome injuries as well as any team since Belechick has been here but I'm really not optimistic were gonna be able to get off
the field on defense. Warner does a great job recognizing blitzes and making defenses pay when they bring 5+ men and are in man coverage and we don't get alot of pressure on
QB's bringing just 4 guys. I expect Arizona will move the ball up and down the field with the Pats hopefully clamping down in the red zone employing their bend but dont break
defense trying to eliminate the big play. Having said all that were supposed to get a foot of snow Friday and have an ice storm coming in on Sunday. So the conditions are in the
Pats favor. Arizona will not be able to run the ball on us. This game means far more to the Pats than it does Arizona. Also its quite possible Boldin will sit this 1 out. So because of the weather and this game not meaning much to Arizona I'd say its quite close between Kurt and Schaub and I would probably wait till game time to see how the conditions on the field are.

Superbowl Shuffle

Yes, but Wayne countered with a strong game. Debating Schaub over Rodgers. I'm actually looking for the safer play of the two. I think the upside is greater with Schaub, but so is the downside (injury history, fumbles every week, big lead = rushing 2nd half).

+1Traded for Cutler mid season, rode him to the championship, but pondering a switch to Schaub for the big game. It may come down to weather, as I like Cutler's matchup v. BUF in Denver as well as Schaub's matchup. Good to have choices, I guess.

I'm leaning a little towards Schaub over Romo as well. Romo seems to be hurting, and going against a tough D.
I am a Schaub / Warner owner. I must have switched my line up over 10 times this week. Schaub...Warner.....Warner.....Schaub
But as of Thursday night, I am feeling confident that Matt Schaub will be my Super Bowl QB.
The Cardinals have nothing to gain or lose here. Boldin his injured and why risk hurting Boldin further for a meaningless game. Why jeopardize an injury to Warner and end the playoff run before it began. I have such a bad feeling that the ARZ starters will be on the bench after Halftime. In the SB, I just can risk it. I am now locking on Schaub and riding HOT Houston. My SB dreams will live or die in Houston, for I have Schaub, A. Johnson, & Houston D starting this week. (Also have O. Daniels, but have Cooley as well, thank god.)
For all Warner/Schaub owners, It makes me sick, as it will you, that we have to do this in THE last game, but IMO, its the safest play.
For those basing the decision on weather, don't. The weather will most likely help, as WRs know what routes their running and CBs do not.

If theirs an ice storm like the weatherman is saying I fail to see how that will help throwing the ball and catching it.

Still grinding over whether to sit Cutler & go w/ Schaub. As mentioned above, weather may be a tie-breaker for me. I have no clue which way I'll go other than that.
the raiders two best home games came against delhomme and thigpen. i'd give schaub a big edge over them. they did well against rivers ... but ryan was solid, cutler was strong and cassel was off the charts. i have schaub and will start him along with hill in a 2-qb league. no other options.
for those deciding, i'd rank them:
cutler > schaub >>> romo this week. why throw someone out there against the ravens defense?

must start Schaub..

Hope you played Peyton, I had the same decision to make, looks like I made the right one.

Footballguy
and I'll add that Warner is the one QB that you bench in situations like this. A) struggles when traveling cross country and B) really bad in poor weather conditions. I love Warner as much as anybody, one of my favorite players actually, but you bench him this week IMO.

I'm another shaub/warner owner going against manning in my championship game so i need a big game from my qb. I had warner in...currently it is shaub though. I don't like warner and the fumbles in a cold and wet stadium. I also like NE chances to just grind it out against them limiting warner's touches...

Schaub should be good for at least 1 long TD this week, it's Walter's week for his "score every other week" style

One thing that I think should be noted and hasnt been is that there is a very good possibility that it will be raining pretty good in Oakland on Sunday. I live in NoCal, and it is coming down hard as I type this. Local forecast says it will be real wet around here all weekend. If thats the case, Houston could put the ball on the ground all day with Slaton. I have to choose between Schaub and Cassel who will probably be playing in a blizzard.

Unless its constant hard rain I can't see it degrading Schaub's numbers much.For those contemplating Rogers or Schaub, realize that the current Chicago forecast is for a high of 8 degrees on Monday. That's right 8.
Since the game is at night we're probably looking at negative numbers in the wind chill. I don't think that bodes too well.
