    I don't get the anxiety thing with Monday's game. If the Texans can't handle their business, they are a Fool's Gold. If they win, it's "ho hum" and they'll move on to face a legit playoff team in the divisional round. The Steelers are, by far, the weakest AFC team in the playoffs.

    I think the history with the Steelers is a thing for us old fans, and I don't like playing a road game when we have the better record. Nevertheless, we SHOULD win and move on. A loss would be extremely disappointing. The players are young guys who probably have never heard of the Oilers and just want to advance. I expect them to play hard.

    There's no such thing as a "ho hum" road playoff game in any sport.

    The only thing I'm anxious about is for the game to start.

    eta: a Houston team has never beaten a Pittsburgh team in the playoffs, in any sport.

    Other than Oilers/Steelers, I don’t believe a Houston team has ever played a Pittsburgh team in any sport in the playoffs. Right?

    If anything we learned about today... Defense can keep teams in games.

    I don't know what transpires this Monday... but we need to start very strong. HOU -3 on the road... the NFL odds makers really love our defense. First win in Baltimore, Beating Mahomes, 0-3 start... Enjoy this guys and gals. This could be a memorable playoff run for our city...
