&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;After experiencing the lowest lows imaginable, a last second win feels great&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is like watching me play Madden. &lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;It&#8217;s like we&#8217;re more concerned with Schaub&#8217;s stats than winning the game.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;by &lt;strong&gt;Nashmeister&lt;/strong&gt; on Sep 21, 2008 2:42 PM CDT&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This was one of the most telling quotes of the Live Game Thread.  It came after the following series of plays:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;4th Qtr
&lt;br /&gt;2-1-TEN 1 (7:49) 8-M.Schaub pass incomplete short right to 11-A.Davis (30-E.King).  
&lt;br /&gt;3-1-TEN 1  (7:45) 8-M.Schaub pass short right to 83-K.Walter to TEN 2 for -1 yards (30-E.King).  
&lt;br /&gt;0-0-  Timeout #2 by HOU at 07:12.  
&lt;br /&gt;4-2-TEN 2  (7:12) 20-S.Slaton up the middle to TEN 1 for 1 yard (97-T.Brown, 50-D.Thornton).  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Turnover on Downs.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;If you use Comcast and get the NFL Network, check out the 2002 Texans hour-long profile.  It spends a ton of time talking about our defeat of the Cowgirls, so I figure it's up every single Texans fan's alley.  Enjoy.

&lt;div class="description"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yet another year of so called football experts making their preseason judgments about teams they barely cover. Don't you just love SI and their journalists? Once again we are going to finish dead last in our division and not even with a 8-8 record. Hmmm, it seems as though somebody is playing favorites.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="description"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Though I think he's he's No. 1, I can at least appreciate the notion that Todd Collins' late season success last year merits consideration for the top spot.  But the fact that Sage is ranked behind Brian Griese is a joke.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Edit: marroncito: I wanted to bring the video bennprince posted up to the Front Page to ask 2 questions about zone blocking.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1) The Texans have had a great reputation as a high character clean team.  Will cut-blocking sour the outlook on the Texans?  A lot of D-linemen complain about being cut-blocked.  Will we hear about Texans O-linemen cheap shots?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;2) How exhausted are they going to be?  Is it going to affect the guys coming after Schaub like Harrison, Suggs, Vanden Bosch &amp; Harvey?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Pancakes says Petey's hanging on by a thread, 
&lt;br /&gt;in other news the Sun rose in the east ...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From McClains chat today :&lt;/p&gt;
