----------------------------------------

Sunday viewing in Houston:

CBS early: New England @ Cincinnati, Greg Gumbel, Dan Dierdorf

CBS late: Denver @ Dallas, Jim Nantz, Phil Simms (the entire nation gets this game)

FOX early: New Orleans @ Chicago, Joe Buck, Troy Aikman

Here's hoping Schaub has a good game and protects the ball.

Let's have a full game something like first half against Seattle.

Build some consistency and confidence headed to playoffs.

My opinion, it could happen.

Both teams have been a bit dysfunctional so far this season, causing some self-doubt. I think the SF defense is much better when Patrick Willis is playing. He'll be a big factor in stopping Foster/Tate.

The next question is whether the Texans try to make this a "statement game". They haven't had much success in those, especially on the road.

as long as they don't break out the letterman jackets i am fine with this being a statement game.

Per 610 radio, Cushing and D Brown ready to go....

God I hope I'm wrong, but I look for a real understated effort by the Texans tomorrow night in San Fran. Like I say, hope they fool me but after last Sundays
maximum effort against Seattle in a game which they should have clearly won I don't expect to see that same team take the field tomorrow night on the road on the west coast.

Why does Kubiak never defer after winning the toss? Most coaches defer. Sorry, just trying keep my mind off of our crap QB play.

Gotta love those Texans!! Giving away 10 points -- and counting...

Somebody please tell me both Shaub and Bullock are on their way out.

Great start, two penalties on OD moves us from 20 back to 35 and then hook FG from 45 yarder. Yikes. Still only getting started. Maybe defense can get points back.

Pass to V Davis over the middle is complete for about 12 or 13 and a 1st down.

Niners fair catch the punt at their 8 yard line. Niners ball.

The one thing AJ has never done well as a WR is draw PI calls.

On another note it has always amazed me this team never quit on Kubiak and/or Schaub, despite both spitting the bit in countless key situations. We may be seeing it tonight.

Schaub's pass is INT'ed by the Niners. Niners bring the ball back to the Texan 32.

Does Schaub come back on the field?

We just might shoild give Schaub a rest. Anytime now.

He really should recognize defense better.

Time for TJ.

How hard is it to break on a curl when the QB won't throw it down the field.

I'm not really a Freeman fan, but I wonder if Smith is on the phone with his reps now.:o

Kaepernick scrambles for 14 to the Texan 18.

Gore powers all the way to the Texan 2.

Gore for maybe 1. 2nd and goal coming up.

Dixon goes left for the TD.

The field is definitely shrinking. Can't throw deep. Every DB is jumping the out routes because they take forever to get there. Doesn't leave much.

Exactly. It' not that he won't throw deep, he can't.

Foster is running as hard as I've ever seen him run tonight.
