I will get you some more postgame reaction tomorrow, because I need to travel for work on this glorious Sunday evening.
Quickly though, the Texans absolutely obliterated a divisional opponent on the road, so officially there should be NOTHING to complain about… but you know me, I’ll find something.
Get back to running the football the way the Texans run the football? CHECK
Get back to stopping the run the way the Texans stop the run? CHECK
Kick the ever-living hell out of Blaine Gabbert and remind everyone how terrible he is? CHECK
I’ll leave you with this before I hit the road. Through two games, the Houston Texans:
-Have allowed 10 total points on defense
-Have turned the ball over 0 times, and forced 5 turnovers for a +5 ratio
-Have outscored their opponents 57-17
-Have what I’m going to go ahead and call the best defensive player of 2012 to this point in J.J. Watt
Should be a fun week to talk Texans, and to get ready for the first real test of the season, a VERY difficult road game against the Denver Broncos.
For now, enjoy the win and you’ll hear more from me tomorrow.

Clay Matthews may have an argument, but I’d still side with Watt

Really looking forward to the Texans vs. Peyton rematch on a short week for the Broncos. Can the Texans leave early to acclimate to the elevation?

Man, that was a great showing! I’m a little disappointed in our passing game though, wish we would take more shots downfield. But our defense looked just as good as last year! Can’t wait to see how they hold up next week against our buddy Peyton.

Im not disappointed in the least by the passing game. The Jags decided that their game plan would be to take away the deep ball and force us to sustain a drive. I will give major kudos to Matt Schaub for recognizing this and not trying to force a big play.
