Early Games Open Thread
Here are the early games you should be watching, as you try to keep an eye on which AFC teams will make the playoffs (and could end up playing against the Chargers).
- Jaguars at Browns (Don't overlook the Browns. They've been playing pretty good football, and the Jaguars seem to fall into trap games quite a bit.)
- Steelers at Dolphins (The Dolphins, with a healthy Ronnie Brown and an experienced Chad Henne, could be really good next season.)
- Patriots at Texans (A Houston win makes the Patriots 2-6 on the road in 2009. That could only help the Chargers.)

Welker just got hurt.

He caught his cleat on the turf
and twisted his knee. It didn’t look too bad. Assuming he didn’t tear anything, my guess is he’ll be back for the playoffs. It could even be Belichick having his guys fake injuries so he doesn’t catch heat for sitting them.

Welker is crying on the sidelines.
He may actually be seriously hurt. That can’t be good for the Pats in the playoffs.

Now they're carting him off the field.
Anyone remember what his injury was earlier this year? This one is his left knee.

Brunell got the start for Breezer
vs. Carolina. Saints throwing in the towel on the regular season, just want to get everyone healthy it seems for the playoffs.

Interestingly enough
Peyton Manning started for the Colts, and is 1 of 3 with a pick. Buffalo just scored a TD on the subsequent possession.

TD Miami. 7-7 tie.
Chad Henne is really growing up. I agree with John—the Dolphins should be pretty good next year.

The Pats defense, especially the pass defense, isn't very good.
If we see them, we should carve them up.

I would be very very surprised
with someone other than the Colts or Chargers in the Super Bowl.

The Chargers Game
I do not get the game so is there anyway I can watch it online?

I think I could take Pat White.

Houston has TERRIBLE ball-security problems.
Moats fumbled after a huge run, and was insanely lucky the first Patriot player missed the loose ball and his own teammate recovered it.

And pick-6 for New England
off a tipped-ball.
It’s the story of the Houston franchise. So, so very close, and then fall just short.

Yup.
I’m rooting for the Texans. I want to see them get a winning record, and make the playoffs. I’d certainly rather see them in the playoffs than the Ravens.

And as I typed that, Houston fumbled again.
But recovered it. Man, this team beats themselves more than any other.

Pat White is moving a bit.
So he’s alive. Damn what a crappy situation.

Never mind, he's not coming back.
Our old pal Tyler Thigpen is getting ready!

Pats just went up 26-13 pending PAT.
Looks like another futile 8-8 season for Houston.
