I expect them to play like it was a playoff game against the Cowboys. Does not matter because it is preseason but it should be a good test for the team.

It will be for the Texan fans. I expect a loud crowd at Reliant this weekend and I'm sure that will help pump up the Texan players.

I kinda hope we get our butts kicked.

I dont know how good it is going into the regular season 4-0 in the pre-season.

I know the Raiders did it last year.

I wish we could face some kind of adversity this pre-season.

Living in Houston I would rather we get our butts kicked in the last pre-season game. :laugh2:

You must not be from houston

I would rather us lose the last one than this one.

If we lose i have to hear it from the texan fans for the rest of the year and into the next one. They will pretend last year didn't happen, and that this was a real meanigingful game.

Please don't ruin it for all the houston fans

Unless the Texans lose then it was only a pre-season game. :laugh2: In the big picture my hope is the same as it was from the get go and that is to get in some good work for the team and get out of pre-season with no major injuries. Having said that just like you I don't want to hear it all year long how the Texans beat the Cowboys. :laugh2:

The third preseason game isn't the one to look bad in. It's the "dress rehearsal" and if it's all the same... I'd just as well look real good in this game.

We can blow the last one if we have to. :)

There's absolutely no correlation between winning in preseason and losing in the regular season, nor the opposite. The two have nothign to do with each other.

This will be a spirited game that is for sure.

Reading the houston chronicle and reading a little on the texans fan forum, they hate us. They hate our city, our fans, our team, our owner and our stadium.

Some of the stuff I read in there newspaper and there fan forum were absurd. They are expecting cowboys fans to be showing up on there blogs and forums and telling everyone how the texans suck and blah blah.

I love how cowboys fans are stereotyped and we are all front runners that still think its 92.

anyway, this should be a good game, they have some good young playmakers in jacoby jones and andre johnson. Schaub has looked good and ahman green should be solid.

Their front four consisting of four first round picks has been dreadful, though I dont think all four have played together at the same time. They are supposed to this week however. So it should be fun to see how columbo and adams handle williams if he lines up on both sides. Curious to see our interior against okoye and johnson, who have struggled so far.

They have a good group of linebackers, but their secondary is pretty average. So it should be interesting to see if we can run outside the tackles.

I knew I should have bought tickets!

I want us to won this game big time. We better screw up the last preseason game against Minny--don't forget we play Minny again just before our bye week & that game counts.

Well if it means that much to you Houston Natives then Go Cowboys.

I dont want to see us lose to Minny either because I live in Oklahoma and I hate the Sooners so I really dont want to hear how Peterson tore up the Cowboys or some crap like that.

So unless we dominate Peterson and then lose heres to going 4-0 in the pre-season. :toast2: (not even 10 o clock yet and these 2 are drinking)

I really really really want to see some posters jump ship though after one pre-season loss.

:bow:

I get so tired of hearing how having a good preseason kills your regular season.

There was never a team who lost the first 2 games of the season and then won the Superbowl till we did it in 93.

There was never a running back to have ever won a Super Bowl championship, the NFL Most Valuable Player award, the NFL rushing crown, and the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player award all in the same season till Emmitt did it in 93 as well.

Superstitions don't mean anything.

Phillips is heading back home , playing in his home state against down the road rivals , and the Texans are the definition of suck ! This game won't even be close while the starters are on the field , and nobody cares but Houston .

All I care about is if we win the 1st 3 quarters. As long as we dominate them when our starters are in, I'm a happy camper. We get the win, it's icing baby.

I know its preseason.. but I really want us to win this ball game.. Mainly because I will be there. But I really don't want to hear it from all these Texans fans at work for the rest of the year. I am interested to see how fast our D is now.. this will be a good test in that regard.

Same here. It is easy for a Houston football fans, they know they suck they know they have never done anything in this league but if they can beat the Cowboys that is all that matters they will carry that torch all year long. They love the fact that the 1st reg season game ever played by the Texas was a win over the Cowboys.

Yeah, we're still being called "bandwagon fans" a full decade after our last SB. What cheapshot.

I say, if you are still a proud fan of this team after the Switzer/Gailey/Campo rollercoaster, then you've earned the recognition.

FIFY

I too live in Houston and no way in heel do I want the texans to win. I have friends who are big Texans fans and it's like they have loved them for 20 years! Their fans are unlikable and perform at their jobs like David Carr did - BAD. I lived in Jacksonville when we got the Jags and they were easy to like because they were actually GOOD. Mgmt sucks in Houston and David Carr is the face of Football in Houston. Up until 2nd grade I lived in St. Louis... and I was a Dallas Cowboy fan somehow :laugh2: .
