Houston just can't catch a break.

In the other Schaub Injury thread, I tried to prepare you all for something more serious than just a routine mild sprain by pointing out that the boot was not consistent with this type of injury. I suggested that it had to be a more severe Grade II or a Grade III sprain, the latter in which you would need to rule out an accompanying fracture. If it IS a Lisfranc fracture, don't count on Schaub coming back this season. Non-operative (in the case of a stable fracture) or operative treatment would require 6-8 weeks totally non-bearing. No way does he return then. He would just be beginning rehab at that time. Strengthening takes time, especially after this type of injury which is accompanied by ligament damage. If the injury requires surgery, Schaub would probably not be allowed to return to sports until the hardware is removed, which is usually not before 3-6 months after the original operation. A Lisfranc injury can be a devastating injury which can lead to debilitating chronic pain and progressive arthritic problems. I hope that this is not the case.

Oh ****.

I don't think the Texans would have went on to win the SB this year because the chances of going from no playoff wins in your team's history to winning the Super Bowl are pretty slim ("so you're saying there's a chance?").

However I still think they can make some noise this year with Leinart at QB. They have the players to use the Jets, 49ers, Ravens, etc, formula of hard defense and running the ball. So long as Leinart can manage the games well and not make dumb mistakes they should be somewhat okay.

I'd say that Peyton Manning missing the entire season was a pretty gigantic break for them.

LOL Mike Florio is already trying to get the Favre Train to Houston rolling.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a lot of people are writing off Houston. We haven't seen Leinart in a regular season game for some time, they still have Foster and Tate, they have managed to survive without Andre (Who is back/coming back), their defence is still very solid without their best defensive player.

We're closer to the end than the start, so it's better to lose Schaub now, than say back at the start of the season (Better to not lose him at all), which may have really screwed up their chances.

Could be worse. You could have this guy...



Or this guy...
