This is it. The big one.

If the Texans only show up for their typical two quarters, hopefully that's about how long the Patriots will play their starters.

Everything aside, I'd like to see 'em go 9-7 just so we can get over that hump - the 1st winning season. It ain't going to be easy........

Well, eight years in and they're finally playing for something other than draft positioning in week 17. So that's something. Given the necessary outcomes it seems to me they are playing for maximum heartbreak, but who the hell knows.

Either way, unless I am totally wrong in my reading of the situation and delusional besides Kubiak will be back and next year's schedule will be MUCH tougher than this year's and there are still far too many holes to fill to get good enough to make the playoffs with the deadly combination of next year's schedule and Kubiak's legendary in-game incompetence.

But there's not going to be any NFL football in 2011 anyway so what the hell do I care?

Happy new year, everyone.

Just win, please?

ESPNews said Moss/Welker might not play. Please Lord, let them not play! Bench the starters, NE. You know you want to

I hope that for once the Texans can string together two consecutive halves of quality football.

With Denver benching Marshall, who knows maybe that game could go KC's way. Then hopefully the Bengals will decide theyd rather play the Texans than the Jets and theyll actually show up for the game tonight. And who knows, maybe the Raiders will have one of their rare games where they show up and be competitive...

Its a long shot, I know, but Im just excited at the very possibility of the playoffs after these last 8 years. At bare minimum, let's go out there and get our first winning season!
