So mad that my boss scheduled me to work tonight. Hope my landlord doesn't mind me screaming at the TV when I get home and watch the recording lat tonight.

Thank goodness it's just the pre-season. Arian Foster fumbles, Schaub throws a pick. Already two turnovers in the first quarter for Houston.

But we lead 10-3 thanks to Trindon Holliday's 99-yard kickoff return for a TD. Also two sacks on Cam Newton (Brooks Reed and Connor Barwin).

1st quarter about to end. Starters just came out. So it's the battle of the backups now.

Damn. Two times the Texans were in the red zone and settled for field goals. Another two good drives they turned the ball over.

13-6 Texans lead with 3:55 left until halftime.

Houston has left a ton of points on the table. Four nice drives resulting in 6 points. I'm not happy at all, pre-season or not.

A really good drive by T.J. Yates ends up in 3 points. Sigh. The 1st and goal at the 6 when he scrambled right. Why not run it in for the Touchdown? He had plenty of daylight but still tried to thread the needle to James Casey in the end zone.

I like the play of the rookie WR Keshawn Martin (he's going to be our main guy with AJ and Walter) and of course Trindon Holliday on special teams. He has 1 TD and nearly broke off 2. I also like some of the hard runs by Justin Forsett, who's trying to make the team as the third-string RB. Garrett Graham also looks good. We won't miss Joel Dreesseen if Graham steps up this year.

cowboys bw is open for you guys

Sherrick McManis has to improve. Get burned deep and is called for a defensive hold on the next play. Damn! Panthers just got three big plays. They may tie it up before half. I hope we hold them to a Field Goal.

LOL, not too worried win or lose tonight but the turnovers sucked. Especially out of Schaub and Foster. I expect them to play better.

Texans have played some sloppy football in this first half.

T4T 3 penalties this drive

TD time lez go

This is BS! Now a pass interference on Alan Ball at the 3 yard line. 1st down Panthers.

Alan Ball and Sherrick McManis. Two cornerbacks the Texans need to weed out before the start of the season.

Even on 3rd and goal at the 3 there is another penalty called on Alan Ball. This guy is just pathetic. Holding his man in the end zone when the freakin' pass is two yards out of bounds. It wasn't even catchable. 1st and goal Panthers at the 1 now.

LMAO. Alan Ball is HORRIBLE!!!!!!! Panthers score the Touchdown on the next play.

13-13 game. Panthers go 83 yards in 8 plays but half of those yards were thanks to penalty flags...

Pass

tie game baby

finna take the lead in the 3rd

Alan Ball will be cut soon I hope. Sherrick McManis will probably make the team but should not see much playing time in the regular season.
