Week 1: Chicago Bears (0-0) @ Houston Texans (0-0)

The 2 CB's with soft tissue injuries would be well served to sit this one out. Just ask Mike Jenkins.

 

A minor surgery?

Every orthopedic surgeon who has weighed in on this surgery has said the opposite as far as I can tell.

 

If Texans win: we are superbowl bound, no team can stop us
If Texans loses: this team sucks, fire Smith, fire O'Brien, Osweiler is a bust, McNair is a terrible owner

 

going to the game! question about parking at fanin south park & ride. is it still $3 on game days? and how fast does the lot fill up?

 

First time back in Houston for a season in 8 years. Hoping to find tickets so I can make home opener, SO EXCITED!

 

I get worried when I see Demps as a starter being backed up by Pleasant. First 2 rounds next year has to be OL and Safety.

 

If the Texans win/lose/tie:

Bobby: Vikings suck, Bridgewater sucks, Hoyer Sucks
Mr. Clutch: Mallet sucks, Harden kinda sucks

 

Demps is a solid player.

We have our FS for the future in Hal.

He is making the probowl this year.

 

i'm so tempted to choose the texans in a survivor league

 

yes!!!

 

Welcome home! Hope it's a great season...

 

They've all hedged and said that back surgeries can have a wide range of severity, outcomes, and recovery times.

So yes... any back surgery can be considered "major"... but the intricacies of what was actually done and how fast a certain type of athlete can make a full recovery can vary... and that hasn't been disputed.

 

Since the beginning of the Rockets season. And we know how that turned out.

OB must feel pretty good about the team to say those types of things.

 

Exactly what I was thinking. He rarely shows or emotion or gets hopes up too much. He is sounding pretty confident. I like it.

 

Yup, he typically tempers expectations. Pretty clear he likes what he is seeing.

This got me a little bit giddy.

Dayum.

By the way, O'Brien sounds like he knows we are going to be really good this year.
