Whew. Well, at least the Texans won't be the first 0-17 team - not this year....

Some good, some bad but mostly good. Competition goes up a notch next week on the road @ Cleveland. The Browns are an early 2 TD favorite over the Texans.

Now atleast we know that as of the first weekend of the season our Texans aren't the worst team in the NFL.
Good job Arky thanks for your game day report.

It's only one game but there is noticeable difference about these current Texans. This team just seems different from the Bill O'Brien teams that have taken the field the last few years.

The coaching was good. Tim Kelly called a good game. Plays that OB would call that would make everyone groan were absent. I had no idea what they would do next - that's a good thing. No turnovers.

I think one part of it is the change in attitude - Caserio seems to have found a good crop of hungry free agents that want to impress and it seems to have rubbed off on the regulars. Hell, even Vernon Hargreaves looked good. That effort was mostly there until it started fading towards the end of the 4th quarter.

Yes, it was the Jags but I can't wait to see what happens next week in Cleveland. Can they keep it going? I'm all over the Texans at +12½ in this game.

There will be a relatively quick turn around following the game in Cleveland with the Carolina Panthers coming to town for a Thursday Night Football matchup.
