Rough Weekend

Ok...so it wasnt the best weekend of football for fans in the Northwest. The previously advertised Husky game (by me) was only good for the first half, but the second half was pretty much all Ohio State and there was no upset. Then...on a play that Matt and Shaun have made thousands of times, a simple handoff, the exchange was bobbled and we turned the ball over to Arizona for a last second field goal to win the game. Thats our play! Josh Brown did that for us 4 times last year and we were well in position for that to happen again in this game. After coming from a 17 point deficit (17-0 i might add) We came back and had a chance with under 2 minutes to gain a few yards...milk the clock...and let our man do his thing. But in this case...Josh didnt get his change and Neil Rackers (arizonas kicker) did his best Josh Brown impression to send our Hawks to a 1 and 1 record. Not the end of the world by any means...but still a rough way to go out. At least we showed up in the second half and showed what kind of team we can be when all cylinders are firing.

In other news...the Houston Texans (who i am a fan of now by default) are surprisingly 2-0 and beat Carolina on the road. Not only is Carolina a pick for some to go deep in the playoffs, Houston hasnt been a good team since they were inducted into the league a few years ago. Michael played special teams and even tho he didnt get credit for it, he was in on a tackle that caused a fumble that Houston recovered and took to the house for a touchdown.

I updated the poll so let your voice be heard what you think will happen this week!
