I don't want to just make the playoffs I want to win the division. And Right now we have one division win. The Titans and Jags both won today, but they where only conference games, not as important as division games.

I want to see this team play with a high level like they did today, next weeks game is not a high profile game to most of the players, it is to the coaches, can this team play like they want it again?

With back to back to back games with Washington and Dallas, I don't see the Texans letting up.

231 yards rushing was great, but I want to see more balance. I don't want to lose the high-octane passing games we've had in the past. Balance will win in this league and we have to have it.

OK NBT, you have watched enough football to know when a team can run for 257 yards on another team they probably won. Plus you also know the old adage of taking what the other team gives you.

Well my friend the Colts had AJ bracketed all day, and we scored our 1st TD by hitting the open receiver, that was 7 play 80 yard drive that took only 3:44 off the clock. That is a top tier passing game.

In the 2nd half, Kubiak and Rick Dennison decided to crush the moral of the Colts defense by running right at them. The Colts had 8 in the box and we still ran over them. The Colts had the right plays called on defense on 4 down and Foster still made the 1st down.

That was as pretty a game yesterday as the game Warren Moon had in Kansas City the day he throw for 500 yds. The O-line dominated the Colts and this team needed the O-line to find out they can do that to someone, and that someone was the team that has owned this team from the start of this team.

Dennison will throw the ball when it's called for.

To me, not having balance is when you want to do something but can't. Simply choosing to do something (like run the ball) and then being successful as hell at it doesn't make you unbalanced.

I don't know about you guys, but I'd like this running game thing to be a permanent condition, without having to get a new guy in literally every year. Foster's on pace for 528 carries. I'd like to say it doesn't matter as long as we're winning, but what about the curse of 370? We've GOT to have more balance. Slaton's gonna have to return to form at a minimum, or Arian's gonna have a pretty short shelf-life. Here's an article, clearly skewed towards fantasy production, but there are some pretty good real stats in there too.

Haven't heard anyone mention that yet, and I think it oughta matter. I know it's crazy early, but still. 33 carries is too many.

Your right, its crazy early.....and we were playing the Colts. Chew the clock, and keep Mr. Foreheads a$$ on the pine. If we see this again, before the next Colt game, I will be beyond shocked.

I don't care if Matt Schaub doesn't throw another pass this year. If the Texans can run the football and the other team can't or won't stop them they would be foolish to throw the ball around.
