I'm ready to watch the Texans at Cardinals pre-season game. It's airing on ABC-13 here in Houston.
They're showing extra points and then the pre-game show. Still another 45 minutea until kickoff.
The Texans have a lot of young players so it should be fun to watch. Johnson and Foster are out tonight.

He was just cleared to participate in full contact drills a week ago. Coming off the sports hernia surgery but he's supposed to play tonight. Hopefully by Week 1 in another month he'll be closer to 100 %. Four pre-season games should help him get back into football playing shape. He hasn't played since South Carolina's bowl game seven months ago.

It's 20-0 Cardinals and nearing halftime. Luckily this isn't going to count as our 15th loss in a row.

Ryan Fitzpatrick was so bad that Bill O'Brien left him in to play the entire first half. The guy has a weak arm and threw an INT.

Fitzpatrick may lead the team to some points against the Cardinals second-string defense. The Texans are in field goal range. This is so embarrassing. No other starting QB played more than one or two series for every other team in their first preseason game.

I want Case Keenum to start, PERIOD! We'll see him in the third quarter. I'll even take my chances with the rookie Tom Savage.

Fitzpatrick is just not a starting quarterback in this league. Maybe he'd look better if Arian Foster and Andre Johnson played but that's wishful thinking.

EDIT: Ryan Fitzpatrick threw his second interception right before halftime. We didn't even kick a field goal.

20-0 Cardinals at halftime.

Case Keenum will be named the starting quarterback before Week 1's game against the Redskins if Fitzpatrick plays like this.

This game has been ugly to watch. 32-0 Cardinals after they blitz Tom Savage for a safety.
Only 1:28 left in the game is the good news.. Another 2-14 season on the way? I hope not.

32-0 loss in our 2014 preseason opener.

It wouldn't mean much to me except we're coming off a 2-14 season, and I was hoping to see a determined team hungry to win and coming out with a new attitude. I'm just glad this doesn't count as a 15th loss in a row.

This team has a lot of work to do before Week 1 against the Redskins. We may as well have our brains beat in the next three preseason games as well. Why not? Anything to light a fire into these players.

Better to play some lousy football in August. If we go 0-4 in the preseason and lose by an average score of 30 points per game it would mean more motivation to win once the season starts. Hopefully.

Okay. I can't sugarcoat tonight. It was beyond miserable. Horrendous performance. There is nothing positive to point out.

A J.J. Watt sack for an 8-yard loss early in the game when he battered Carson Palmer in the back on an excellent pass rush. I could have turned the game off after that and called it a night. At least I would have been happy and not scratching my head and wasted my time for three hours.
