Wow. This is not complicated. I’m sure I’ll have a lot more to say about this game as the week goes on, but really – what more is there to say than this: Run the ball. Run it. See the ball? Yeah – RUN IT! Arian Foster is a star. He’s not just a system [...]

Are there any other Indian-related NFL teams that wear red and yellow on the schedule? Because I don’t think my heart can take another one. So, that was pretty much a complete disaster (again) until the last few minutes. You could feel the collective “tightening” in Reliant Stadium today, if you know what I mean. [...]

The two rows in front of us at the game were filled with nothing but Giants fans. They were all over the place. As I said in Sunday’s entry, they were loud, proud, and had a great time in our building – but they were never lewd or disrespectful. The only jerks I saw were [...]

Another year, another win over the Raiders. Clichés can certainly be annoying, but one that I think is most often true is that road wins in the NFL are always tough. Of course, not always – but the Texans aren’t yet the type of team that can go into a city and slap teams around [...]

Sunday’s loss to the Cowboys hurt big time. You can count off all the reasons – the Texans had a golden opportunity to go 3-0 for the first time in franchise history, they had a chance to make yet another “statement” (if you’re in to that kind of thing) to a large portion of the [...]

….and…. deep breath. It’s Monday, and so far – it’s still real. The Texans pulled out an incredible, improbable victory yesterday – a win that I can’t imagine ever would have happened for any previous incarnation of this team. There’s a lot to talk about, so let’s get to it. The Texans’ stars proved why [...]

Let’s get down to business. It wasn’t just that the Texans beat the Colts yesterday, it’s HOW the Texans beat the Colts. A 34-24 final doesn’t scream domination, but the second half was certainly that, if not on the scoreboard, then certainly on the field in a very tangible way. A team on a mission [...]

Oh, it was pretty. Not for the Colts, but OH was it pretty for us. The second half of this game felt like a scene out of my favorite Christmas movie, “A Christmas Story.” Remember the scene where Ralphie snaps, having finally had enough of the repeated beatings/taunts of the bully? Our old friend Peyton [...]

[EDITOR'S NOTE] The stat in the Game Notes box above about the Texans’ record after 13 games came from Jerome Solomon’s Twitter feed. Yes, the Texans are still mathematically alive in the playoff hunt, but despite the accurate and hope-fueling article that Jerome Solomon wrote last week, it’s still a pretty huge reach that these [...]

I hate to say it, but it’s over for Gary Kubiak. For the Texans as a playoff team – it’s been over since the Monday Night Football loss to Tennessee… but today’s loss was yet another direct result of incredible brain lapses in coaching. Oh, and of course – more of the same from the [...]
