Official Texans @ 49ers Game Thread, 10/6/2013
 

The 2-2 Texans travel up to San Francisco for a Sunday night contest against the 49'ers (2-2). The Texans are coming off a 23-20 loss to the Seahawks and the 49'ers are coming off an impressive 35-11 victory over the Rams on Thursday night football. The 49'ers will have the benefit of a few days extra rest.

The line = 49'ers by 6 to 7.5

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

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 Baldwin too high, inc. 2nd and 10 coming up. Ball at the Niner 35.
