1. I hope he will be ok. He is in my prayers.

3. He's had a rough time of it lately.

Luckily, they are saying that he never lost consciousness.

4. He may have had a heart attack or stroke but with medical attention he can pull through.

His family is with him and that is important.

2. Very Scary. He was taken to the hospital. Wade Phillips said it was precautionary.

They said he could not open his eyes, but was still talking and did not lose consciousness.

Hoping things work out for him.

5. Heartbreaking game for the Texans tonight.

[TBF]

6. I only watched the first half -

but going up against Andrew Luck is never easy. Case was doing well from what I saw. But Luck is really an exceptional young player - I remember how he surprised the Packers last year.

7. Bullock, the kicker, went to the school that my son goes to.

so we always pull for him. The fact that the entire town is blaming him, and not the defense's lack of defense in the second half, blows my mind. I've been fighting that battle on FB all morning. Case looked amazing though.

[TBF]

8. I didn't know about the coach collapsing either -

I do try to watch them and we even saw them once this year in the stadium (my first chance to be at a game - I've never even seen the Packers live!) ... I always cheer for JJ Watt because he's from back home (Pewaukee I believe - and he played for the Badgers).

Sad for the team to have an ill coach though - that was probably the difference in the game.

It's so hard with kickers - we saw it with Crosby's bad year. Now he's back and playing great again this year. When they have a bad spell it is spotlighted though and that's got to be tough.

11. Yep. Peewaukee. He's also a decent guy off the field.

Donating a lot of time and money to the Barry family. The NFL needs more like him.

My father and I had this argument this morning (he's finally moved down here )

Dad:"He's not a good kicker. Good kickers don't get in their own heads..."

Me: "Would you call Mason Crosby a 'good kicker'...?"

Silence....

Dad:"that's different."

9. The workload some of these guys place upon themselves is staggering

Combined with the propensity of bad diet and lack of sleep and exercise, I'm surprised we don't see more of this.

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. They did say, on the local news this a.m., that it could be due to dehydration

which would fit. The grimace could have been a wicked cramp. I hope it is something easily remedied. Wade said he's a workhorse, and the fans here are super demanding, so he's had many a late night I am sure.
