Texans game

Posted by themonitor on September 27, 2010

Yesterday I went to the Texans v Cowboys game. A few observations:

  • The NFL is very good at controlling their product
  • The Texans treat the media very well
  • Cowboys fans are pretty obnoxious
  • The Texans are not for real…yet

I would offer a game review but I didn’t want read the multiple pages of conditions attached to putting game descriptions online but I can say this: If the Texans can’t figure out how to score from inside the 5 they’re not going to do well this year. It actually looked like the teams had undergone a personality transplant during the week because all the Cowboys’ issues seemed to have been taken over by the Texans and vice versa.
