"great" chance is being a bit optimistic, IMHO. It was a good match up 3 weeks ago with them, with our current broken roster.
Carolina is not one of the 2 worst teams in the NFL. Not by far.

We are 3-2 this season against playoff teams. 2 of those 3 wins came after Schaub's injury.

Don't like "great"? How's "good" sound?

Vegas currently likes Houston in this game.

Nineball, why do you have no faith? Texans are going to be explosive this weekend. Kubiak will not continue this conservative gameplay. He will most likely not call too many risky passing plays but there will be a lot of 1-2 punches from foster and tate

The Foster/Tate combo should be a 60/40 split when it comes to touches rather than Gary's usual 80/20. No offense whatsoever to Foster, but I think Tate deserves a few more touches each game.

I have hope, but I don't have faith in the current Texans lineup and poor coaching. As long as #25 is on the field, we will get burned. As long as Kubiak is calling the plays and not the QB, we will get burned too. You guys have to be kidding if you think Kubiak will suddenly transform into some great coach and change his ways. We've been saying the same thing about him for the last couple years, I've not seen any changes yet.

Do I want them to win? Hell yes. Do I expect them to win? Nope. They will have to earn it, and their last 4 games have been frustrating to watch. We have zero momentum going into the playoffs, and the excuses are already starting to form about the Texans.

I hope I'm wrong about this. But if I'm not, then the Cowboys fans won't have to rag on my comments next week. LOL

It sounds like we're on the same page.

You know those 2-3 douche bag Cowboys fans who frequent these threads will talk ignorant **** either way. If we win Saturday, it will be because the refs helped us or because Cinci didn't show up. If we lose, it will be because "the Texans suck and the Cowboys have old Super Bowl rings with MC Hammer inspired styling sprinkled with cocaine dust". Then, 1slow01Z71 will come in and tell said douche bags how dumb they are making themselves look before he gives a fair analysis of what he saw in the game.

can I have some of what ever you smoked, sniffed, injected, or ate this am? You have got to be kidding me. Kubiack will still be conservative and suck like he has been all year in his play calling.

I guess we'll find out this week. I really don't think he would stay conservative during playoff games. He has no reason not to go all out. If I'm wrong I will gladly eat my words then I will jump on the "I hate kubiak" bandwagon. But I don't think I'm wrong.

I'm excited for the game Saturday. I think it is probably going to be the best game on. All the other wildcard games have teams that are not anywhere near the same level talent wise. The only other good game might be the ATL NY game. The Falcons are an interesting team. Not a lot has been said about them this season.

I'm starting to second guess my pic on the lions vs saints. Looks like the lions want it more. If there is an upset this weekend. It will be the saints coming in over confident.

GO TEXANS!

Texans need to be aggressive today on both sides of the ball, show these ******* no respect every single down. A hat to there mouth every play
Strike quick and attack fast. Shut em down early.
There is no second chance,there is no next week!
