Tomorrow's game is cancelled

[Boyzmamacita]

Every cop, firefighter, EMT working the game and the parking lot would probably rather be helping people in need instead of manning a truly meaningless football game

The players and employees of the Texans have their homes and families to worry about

This is true. Practicing at the Star seems kind of odd with all that's going on.

Great preseasons from Lewis and Switzer. Thought they both showed a lot

would have liked them to play and accept donations and donate all profits to the hurricane relief....but i understand

 

[Direwolf63]

Disappointing, but completely understandable.

Heard it on sports radio. My reputation speaks for itself.

Your reputation was pretty much cemented when you said Dak Prescott was a waste of a 4th round draft pick and will never amount to anything in the NFL. You don't have to worry about your reputation.

Just shows you how inept Roger Goodell is. This decision should have been made days ago, so the Texans players and staff, could go assist their family and friends.

I posted on Monday in another thread that this game should be cancelled. I'm lost on why they took so long to make this decision.

Ehhh....I disagree. Some guys have been simply hurt...plus a lot of these guys were auditioning for other teams. Just because the Cowboys let them go doesn't mean another team doesn't like them and scoop them up. I personally think its a big deal for a player but as a fan I really could care less. I've seen enough out of these young guys to know which ones are ready now and aren't.

But if one of these on the fringe guys came out and put up 10 receptions for 200 yards or a defensive guy got 3 sacks.....teams would take notice.

I'm not saying they're worthless games for the reasons you stated, but almost. Chances are they've either made or not made this team already

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

Injuries are the reason some of them have "left their roster spot up.'

Can't make the team from the tub

Can't make the team from the tub

Can't be blamed for it either. Thems the breaks.

I know it's terrible what's happening in Houston but I think it's a shame the game was cancelled. 1. Because this game is important to 70+ players that need to show something on tape for other teams to see. 2. The game would have raised a lot of money for those effected in Houston.

Texas can handle anything!

 

[Melonfeud]

Well snap. That sucks but is understandable. More important things going on in Texas right now than football. I sure wanted to get a look at the rookie DBs though. Oh well, bring on that sissy boy Eli and his gal pal Adell. Nothing like beating up on New Yorkers to bring a smile back to Texas.

 

[AmericasTeam81]

I guess this means more prep time for Odella, Sheli, and the rest of the Giants.

 

[Tabascocat]

Good decision, the Texans players and coaches have families that need help back home. It should have been cancelled days ago.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

This place would be so boring without you

And there would be one less closet Eagles fan in here also

 

[Cowboys_22]

I'm a big time Dallas Cowboy fan, even bleed silver n blue but my heart is with Houston and nearby areas affected by Harvey.
The NFL did something right in my opinion.

Good call.

Family >football

every action the NFL takes is reactive and not proactive

Seriously, I don't get it the connection.

I applaud the decision to cancel the game but it took too long to come to that conclusion. The Texans have bigger concerns on their minds than a football game. I hope they get their families relocated safe and secure so the players can focus on playing a real game in eleven days.
God Bless Texas!
