Official Texans vs. Bills Game Thread, 11/4/2012

Ok, got a game this weekend.

Mario against Texans Offensive Line.

Both teams coming off a bye week.

I'd like to see our special teams look much better.

Depending on which Mario shows up, him vs. Newton could be a little nerve racking.

Per the twitter - We have claimed Grimes and released Mister Alexander. Doesn't look real peachy for Tate this week.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Mario have a nice game. When he was here he had some of his best performances when the coaches took him aside and challenged him, and ever since the schedule came out he's been acting like he has something to prove against the Texans for not breaking the bank to keep him.

TV = CBS (channel 11 local), 12 noon Sunday

Announcers = Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts

The line = Texans by 10 to 12

I feel good about having "The Bird and The Beard" in the booth. We're usually solid when those two are the announcing crew. Most of the country is getting Denver-Cincinnati. Our game is being seen throughout Texas and upstate New York.

Grimes will be active the first week back. Hopefully, we'll be in a spot to see him in "real" action.

Houston Texans (@HoustonTexans) tweeted:
Coach Kubiak: RB Ben Tate didn't practice (hamstring) and will not play in Sunday's game.

It's a broken record every freaking week. How are the special teams this bad?
