Ugh…we could have done without the shot of Taylor Swift entering Arrowhead Stadium.

Absolute garbage decisions by Flacco and Stefanski, but at least I know why he has a grey beard despite being my age

[fhayek]

If you are going to watch the game on Peacock...DRINK!

[Allegra]

LOL - I’m on my third celebratory beer with friends.

Not sure if our hosts have Peacock. That was sucky of them to make that game pay-per-view.

[darkangel82]

Do you have a designated driver?

[Allegra]

Absolutely!

“We’re the Houston Oilers, we’re the Houston Oilers, we’re the Houston Oilers Number One....du deet dut dut dut doe, we’re the Houston Oilers, we’re the Houston Oilers, we’re the Houston Oilers Number One!”

[dfwgator]

You know they stole that song from the Dolphins.

[darkangel82]

Heck, *I* might need a beer after that disaster of a game(only joking, haven’t had any since 2019)

[zzeeman]

I would have enjoyed watching the Dolphins v. Chiefs game, but have no Peancock, and will not get the Peacock...

Good to see a nice young man like CJ Stroud doing well for the Texans!

[fhayek]

Congratulations on the win. Maybe you will meet up with my Bills down the line. That would be good because that means it would be for the AFC championship in Buffalo. On the other hand, those Texans do look formidable.

Of course, that assumes we can get games played in Buffalo...

[Allegra]

Thank you!

I am old enough to remember another Buffalo-Houston playoff game in early 1993. 😳 I still cringe every time I think about that.

Good luck Monday!

[dfwgator]

I believe had the Oilers won that game, they would still be in Houston today.

[fhayek]

I think, now that I look at it, if the Dolphins beat the Chiefs and the Bills win, next week would be Houston/Buffalo... unless I am mistaken

[Liberty Valance]

That was fun game for The Texans - now ... I think I have Peacock

[Allegra]

Right! Rookie head coach, rookie QB - and look at ‘em!

I almost dumped my season tickets twice - once in 2020 and again two years ago. My seatmate talked me out of it both times - one reason being the loss we’d probably take on our PSLs.

I sent her a text a few minutes ago, thanking her for talking me out of it. :)

[fhayek]

No cringing in this quarter. I remember it as well. And we had a backup quarterback.

[Allegra]

Yes. Yes. I remember. Oh, how I remember. 😖
