it's just incredible. in a league like the NFL, where most of these guys were born into wealth and that is why they made it this far, you have a guy like graham who just succeeded against all odds. AND HE PLAYED BASKETBALL!? you better get the fuck out of here right now before i explode with amazement. holy shit jimmy graham
Amazing.

And congrats to the Texans. Well deserved win. Wish Schaub wasn't hurt and the Ravens-Texans game would be that much more interesting. Have to wait and see how Yates does.
 
Great win for the Texans. The past 3 weeks you couldn't expect this kind of performance, but honestly alot of people got healthy for this week, notably the O-line and AJ80.

First playoff win, feels good man. Now I think I need to get some Texans flags on my ride.
 
...you can't play all four of those teams in the playoffs man.

We can in 2012 though at least theoretically. We'd play GB next round of course, Falcons in the NFC conference champion round, SF are a scheduled away game next season for us.
 
woot.

ehigh five for the rest of Texans gaf, which does not include that yellow bellied traiter squicken.
 
Alright, real talk time.

Do the Lions have a chance to win? Yes, they do. Do I think they actually will? No. I'm not afraid of admitting that the Saints are an overall more-talented and especially more experienced team when it comes to these sorts of situations and while it will suck if the Lions do lose, it wouldn't upset me greatly as long as it's not some sort of crazy blowout.

Just as much as the actual result of the game I want to keep my eyes tonight on the Lions' mental aspects. I want to see if they can maintain focus despite a very hostile environment and a team in the Saints that will definitely try everything they possibly can to get them to lose their collective temper. It hit a head for me after the first Saints game, where I told myself that if the team became a national story for poor character issues again that year (following the Saints debacle, Suh's stomp, the stupid handshake exchange with Harbs, etc), then I would finally give it up and admit that Schwartz should not be the head coach. Thankfully that hasn't happened...but the season isn't over yet. Just play the way you should, Lions, and I'll be excited about next season.

Anyway...Schwartz rocking a suit for the game tonight? That's an odd look for him, hahaha.
