Worst Case Scenario - 10/31/2007



We use the phrase 'Worst Case Scenario' to refer to a possibility that remote at best, but you should be aware of just in case.  Like the directions flight attendants give us before a flight, "The chances are that it will never happen, but just in case we crash into an ocean on a flight from Houston to Dallas, this is what to do."  Sometimes those Worst Case Scenarios do happen.  Like in the movie 'Perfect Storm', sometimes forces all come up against you at once and not much you can do.

The Texans had a Perfect Storm come and punch them right in the face this past Sunday.  That day ended up being a day to honor the firefighters who were and still are fighting fires in Southern California. The Governator showed up, firefighters were on the field, it was a perfect San Diego day and the crowd was pumped.  The stadium was filled with emotion.  The Chargers were ready to show apprecation to the firefighters and the community.  It isn't like the Texans had a chance to beat the Chargers anyway, but when they were on such an emotional high, the slim chance to win shrunk down to none. 

The Texans throwing 4 picks that game definitely didn't help matters any.  The Chargers were pumped true, but the Texans made things so easy for them that the Chargers didn't have to work hard to get the win.
