They are off to a 2-0 start. I DVR'ed the KC game and havent seen it yet. I did catch yesterday's game and was very impressed with the team offensively and defensively.
Next week against the Colts will be the ultimitate test.

OH HELL YEAH! These are not the same TEXANS that we saw for the past 5 years. If you look at how they are going about their business, they are not getting panicked and are not deviating from the game plan. Gary Kubiak has instilled a sense of purpose and confidence in them and if they keep on winning that confidence will continue to grow. Next week if they can hit ;D Peyton Manning early and often and throw him off his game the TEXANS will have a good chance to win.  By the way, the TEXANS ar the last team to beat the Colts. Think about that.  |

Yeah, in the past after getting down 14-0 that fast, I would have changed the channel. Yesterday, I had a feeling they would come back and thankfully they did. Matt Schaub is a good QB unlike David Carr. Did you catch that ridiculous hairdoo Carr was rocking yesterday? Annette Funicello just called and she wants her hairdoo back....  |

I don't think Annette would even want that back! He looked like he let Moe or Larry give him the 'do! ;D

Andre Ware was making fun of Carr's "do" this morning on the radio. He said Carr spends more time fixing and worrying with his hair than he does studying his playbook. I'd have to agree with that.

All Carr is. is a pretty boy. He stated in an interview last week that he was "glad to be in Charlotte where there is no pressure on him." This statement confirms everything that we ever suspected. He does not have the mental and emotional "toughness" that it takes to be a successful QB in the NFL. He is more worried about getting home to his wife, kids, parents and to check his hair than he is about being a quarterback. I still can't believe that they gave him that extension knowing full well that he was not going to be the guy past last year.

It looks like Andre Johnson's going to be out of the game on Sunday. Do you guys think we still have a chance of beating the Colts?

Yep. We have better receivers than we did last year. WE now have Kevin Walter, Jacobi Jones and from last year we still have Owen Daniels, Jeb Putzier and Vonta Leach. I think that Jerome Mathis will get a few balls thrown his way as well.

I think we had a very slim chance against the Colts with a healthy Andre Johnson and we have almost no chance without him. If the Colts do their usual good job against the run, we will be lucky to stay in the game unless we can really get to Manning and I doubt that happens.

Last year the Colts were dead last in the league against the run, including when we beat them and Dayne ran all over them.
I wouldn't bet money on a "W", but we'll be competitive.

Indy's run defense has been better this year but I still think we can run against them. If we can control the clock we have a better than average chance to win. Since Kubiak took over, the Texans are 4-2 when controlling the TOP.
