Discuss the game action here.

Hope you changed your clocks last night and started your pre-game an hour early this morning...

[TheMatrix31]

Sure did. It's only 8:15am here, should really be 45 min to game time! Ahhhhhh.

Let's get it done. No reason to lose today. Get out there and take care of business.

Fat boy says "no surprises" among Inactives but I haven't been able to run down an actual list. Sounds like Ogbannaya will start at RB for Browns. He was on our roster to begin the season.

[HPF Bob]

Inactives from ESPN.com:

Browns: S Ray Ventrone, RB Peyton Hillis, DE Auston English, QB Thaddius Lewis, RB Montario Hardesty, CB Dimitri Patterson, OL Steve Vallos

Texans: OL Thomas Austin, WR Andre Johnson, CB Brandon Harris, OL Andrew Gardner, TE Garrett Graham, S Danieal Manning, RB T.J. Yates
