Matt Schaub pinky swears that he won't get hurt this year, thereby ensuring that he'll end the year on IR

Since he's so far been unable to play a full 16 game schedule, leading many in Houston and across the NFL to wonder if he's too fragile, Texans QB Matt Schaub swore he would play all 16 games this season.

So what is Matt Schaub's next trick? Not even David Blaine knows that.

I think he's talking about playing all 16 games in Madden

Go Titans!

Only if he turns injuries off

"Swears" is a pretty strong term

I mean, the guy says he’s going to be there for 16 games. What do you want him to say?

It’s funny that you guys are taking shots at Houston QBs for the second time in recent memory. Titan fans, talking junk about QB play. Hilarious.

Anyone – anyone in the league – would have been out for weeks if a rabid, drunken Jared Allen dove at their legs late.

Always an excuse.

Houston fans, always talking junk like they’ve won more than 8 games in franchise history. Hilarious.

It's a young franchise

Sure, we’re perennial losers, I get that. That’s how it is and how it will always be until they win… but when they do it will be sweet because I’ve logged many, many more years from all the hard years as an Oiler fan.

Also, I wouldn’t wield that “excuse” word too much. There were a lot of excuses around here for why the Titans laid a huge egg on the field when the Ravens came to town in the playoffs. Oh wait, those were reasons, not excuses, right? Same difference.

Indeed there were. Lots of excuses. It was bad. Most of them illogical and irrational.

If you ever make the playoffs and lose in a close game, you’ll know the feeling.

I was in Buffalo for “The Choke.” I was in the Dome when Joe Montana came to town and ripped our hearts out (when the Oilers laid an egg in the same situation as the Titans). So yeah, I actually know quite a bit about it, and it meant a hell of a lot to me since I went through all the good times and bad times with the team… for many, many years.

well then you understand why we're irrational and making excuses after a playoff loss

I think I even blamed it on Global Warming at one point.

LOL, of course I understand

I’m just saying – not wise to throw that word around. All fans do it.

Sometimes the line between reasons and excuses is pretty blurry… in Buffalo at that time – they did not show replays on the big stadium screen – so it wasn’t until we flew home that I saw Don Beebe run out of bounds before coming back in to catch a long TD… it wasn’t until we flew home that I saw that a Bills defender literally put one of our WRs in a bear hug in OT, allowing another Bill defender to intercept Warren Moon in OT.

So yeah, I know how it goes. Sigh.

But I am looking forward to making some new playoff loss reasons/excuses in THIS decade. :(

wow man

I didn’t talk any trash about Schaub, just pointing out that a player predicting their health over a season is pretty absurd. I’d make the same jokes if just about anyone had said it.

Dude, I’m not nailing you to the wall or anything. The player wasn’t predicting his own health – he was asked about it. What do you want him to say? “I’ll probably miss four or five games. Don’t count on me.” Maybe it’s not really “trash talk” but if it was, that would be fine. It’s the off-season, what else do we have? Might as well keep the rivalry hot.
