Maybe I was wrong. Maybe Woody is trying to make McElroy emperor.

Still he's implying that we have a somewhat competent D, which clearly isn't true.
What the actual fuck?
What's the spread for Sunday?
Texans have been so quiet in the media. Matt is Lucky Suh kicked him in the cock or otherwise we wouldn't even be mentioned.
"Great win by the Texans this Monday against the New England. Anyhow, back to the Patriots and Broncos. How ill they do in the AFC Championship game?"
Yesterday it was Pats -4
Is the problem in Cam's head? I know the defense had some big letdowns but is the underlying problem Cam?
I hear conflicting opinions. Some believe Cam just needs a certain OC, or receivers, or O'line upgrade and others believe Russell Wilson could win with what Carolina puts on the field.
Another week, another upset. Or something funny at least.
Picks:
Broncos at Raiders
Chiefs at Browns
Rams at Bills
Eagles at Buccaneers
Falcons at Panthers
Bears at Vikings
Ravens at Redskins
Cowboys at Bengals
Chargers at Steelers
Titans at Colts
Jets at Jaguars
Dolphins at 49ers
Cardinals at Seahawks
Saints at Giants
Lions at Packers
Texans at Patriots
Huh...well, that's a thing.

This seems like an Eznark production. Now we know what he does for a living!
I just hope he comes back or quickly then gets to 100% and we get luck with injuries in the playoffs.

Who's putting a hit out on Rodgers for being too short?
Yep. Im ok with it though. Dont talk about them let them believe they are the underdogs. They know what they have to do and it is win the next two games and wrap up that #1 seed.
They are trying out Routt today at CB:
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/12/04/stanford-routt-heading-to-pittsburgh-too/
They wont need to cut anyone to make room since McCain was put on IR. Brandon Harris played ok when he came in Sunday though and Im pretty sure he will be the slot corner this Monday.
And he's a freshman. That's why I said 'a couple of years', by then I'm sure he will be NFL material or close to.
Don't drag us into this. We are doing just fine. We are gunning for a two seed, that's it. Beyond that nothing is guaranteed. A Pats/Texans AFC Championship is more likely at this point, and you are lying to yourself if you think otherwise. If anyone is an underdog to get there its not the Texans or the Pats.
I think part of it is definitely in Cam's head, but it's not all his fault. For example, he goes down and scores a TD with 6 minutes left to go up 21-10 vs the Bucs. Bucs score a FG, Panthers run 3x to get the clock down to about 1 minute (punting on 4th and 1 from the 50 yard line, but it wasn't as egregious a decision as the Atlanta punt), Bucs score a TD and 2pt conversion in 52 seconds with no timeouts, then get the ball first in OT and score a game-winning TD. Cam played error-free and an amazing second half (he was horrendous in the first half, 3-15 I think, but came back and went 9/10 and led two TD drives in the 2nd half I believe), but didn't get a chance to touch the ball in OT due to our defense.
Against KC on Sunday, the defense couldn't get off the field at all. In the first three quarters, the offense had four total possessions. Four! We scored TDs on our first two possessions, punted the third, and on the fourth possession (our only possession in the 3rd quarter, mind you) LaFell dropped a wide open TD bomb from Cam (perfectly thrown, LaFell just let it slip through his hands, he had 3 steps on the KC DB). Cam did have two chances in the 4th and bring us down to score the go-ahead TD, but we couldn't get it done, which is disappointing.
But again, I think the main problem is that the offense asks so much of Cam. He will be the leading rusher on the Panthers for the second season in a row. I know RG3 just broke Cam's rushing record, but he's also got a 1,000 yd back to lean on and an OC in Kyle Shanahan who seemingly knows the value of a balanced attack. I think Cam feels he NEEDS to score on every possession, especially in the second half, and that's when he starts pressing and forcing things, getting sloppy with his mechanics. He's just a second year QB though, so I have hope that he'll get it figured out. I'd be lying if I said I'm not disappointed with his late-game performances, but I think that has as much to do with coaching as it has to do with the man himself.
Yeah making more fun than anything. I'm fine being the underdog. I mean, can't really be an underdog at 11-1, but as far the media goes we still haven't really paid our dues yet.
So each weak you have to keep proving yourself.
It's like CM Punk as WWE champion! lol.

I want the Pats to lose just as much as anyone but they are the best team in the AFC until proven otherwise, in my eyes. A convincing loss to the Texans would be a good start at demonstrating that this is no longer the case, but I don't really expect to know one way or the other until playoff time.

Dont hate the Broncos. Im just tired of already hearing the undertones that it will be Manning/Brady in the AFCCG. This season has proved the theory of "Any given Sunday" is alive and well and even though I want that #1 seed it honestly doesnt mean as much as it did in years past.

But the Texans aren't underdogs. Top of the power rankings, leading record in the AFC, potential DPOY, high powered offense.
Fools gold.
Keep on believing though.
Also thank God Watts did not go to the Pats. That would have been a disaster!
Yup, while we play the Chargers, Cowboys, Browns and Bengals. Get ready to lose the division to the Steelers, Ravens!
Statistically no. But I think underdog as far as perception goes.
"Baw Gawd, but can they win the big one!"
Belichick would have turned him into a TE like his little bro at Wiscy!
We could blow it too. This team can beat anybody and lose to anybody too.

What the... Philbin sat Wake and Odrick during the first eight plays of that final drive by the Pats? To keep fresh guys in!? Come on...
I would disagree. A true underdog is someone like the Colts. Texans are legit SB contenders.
LOL Makes perfect sense.

Wait bucket is a ginger....
He was my fav of packers gaf too
Buckets not a ginger, he is just trying to be even less mainstream.
If NFL Age isnt united for the Texans in their hatred for the Pats then they root for the Texans so you have to show your true colors.
My playoff prediction from earlier had you guys beating the Bengals and still missing out to them. Not sure how that happened but it's possible!

None too surprising but Locklear will be missing the remainder of the season with a torn ACL:

If we beat them that will be tough but anything can happen in this league. I mean the Seahawks could win the division now if they win out and the Giants could easily miss the playoffs.

Yep, can't pencil in any of those as wins. Also, the Ravens will find a way to bail out Flacco in one or two of their games.

I wonder who Jake Long will be playing for next year?
They are underdogs at NE
He'll be welcome in Atlanta, even if he's had a down year.
I know Abraham's owned him the last two times they hooked up.
