[Nconroe]

other that the one INT, Schaub has done pretty good today seems to me, so far. okay,

another first down run by Foster.

feels good now. kneeling it out.

yeeha, on to NE Pats next week.

Ok, right now I think we can take the Pats if we clean up the penalties and dumb INTs.

[BigBull]

well they better be able to score tds when they play the pats because fgs will no get it done.

[HPF Bob]

I have no expectation of them winning next week.

Best approach to go with IMO

[TheMatrix31]

We played it conservatively and it worked today. They knew the defense would dominate and Dalton wouldn't do much. Won't work against a Brady so as long as we play a bit more aggressively on offense and don't dig ourselves a hole again with stupidity, we can win that game.

Xcept for one play, really good game for Schaub. I'm thrilled that my Texans won, they've seemed to have lost their way in the last 4-6 weeks but this might be some redemption for them ?
Next week vs the Pats ? Sure, it's a really long-shot, but I'm thinking the Texans will be into the challenge, I'm thinking they will be fired up ?

[Nconroe]

Our OL protecting Schaub really well today, no sacks today, against league leading sack team with 51, was one of keys to game. nice to see our OL come together at the right time. hope it continues.

I recorded this game and I will watch my recording because I want to see most of all what was going on the with the Oline, who played well and who didn't ? I know that Ben Jones started at RG, but also Brandon Broods took quite a few snaps there. And yea, that was a big penalty against him in the RZ, but in general wonder how he performed ? Oh yea, didn't Newt go all the way at RT ?

I'm happy the Texans won!!! But this conservative play calling will only get us beat in New England.

I actually think that conservative play calling is fine if the Texans control the LOS and finish in the red zone. I don't think it will be absolutely impossible to win next week. Very, very difficult but not impossible at all.
