Official Texans vs. Jets Game Thread, 9/13/2009

[Keith]

It's finally arrived.

Lots of chatter nationally about how this is a toss-up game. Smacks of a lack of respect to me. The Jets are starting a rookie QB on the road and missing two of their defensive standouts. The Texans are at home and save for Eugene Wilson and Kevin Walter, they're healthy and hungry. Winning home games in conference will matter when playoffs enter the convo, so it's time to take care of business.

We better take care of business! And thats all I have to say about that.

[Arky]

Time to give the Jets the thrashing they so richly deserve....

Other than the Brown run, our o-line looked like the David Carr days.
