When they learn to beat the Colts, then we'll take their playoff chances seriously. If they lose at Jacksonville this week, it could be the end of the Gary Kubiak era.
11/24/2009	18	13
That loss at home to the Titans is a big hit to their playoff chances. They just never got it going on offense. Kris Brown choked two weeks in a row. Now the Colts come to town.
11/17/2009	13	14
They come off their bye with a chance to earn their first playoff berth with a good second half. The key will be how well they play on defense.
11/10/2009	14	13
They showed well at Indy, but at some point they have to win a game like that. It's the wild-card route at best for the Texans now.
11/03/2009	13	16
The improvement of the defense to go with that passing game has really helped this team. They do have a lot of premium talent on the defensive side of the ball.
10/27/2009	16	21
At 4-3, they're over .500 and that offense is playing good football. I still wonder about the pass defense, especially after what Alex Smith did in the second half.
10/20/2009	21	21
Matt Schaub is putting up some big-time numbers, which is why they are 3-3. The defense has played better in the last six quarters, which is a good sign.
10/13/2009	21	23
The defense continues to be a problem, although it did play better in the second half against the Cardinals. Now they have to go play a hot Bengals team on the road. That won't be easy
10/06/2009	23	25
So there is a pulse for that defense? They have to hope the way they played against the Raiders carries over the rest of the way. Too bad they don't play the Raiders for 16 games, right?
09/29/2009	25	18
They've used a lot of first-round picks on defensive players the past six years and they can't seem to stop anybody. What the heck is going on? Changing coordinators might not have been the answer. It's the players.

Vince Young

Go read the Vince Young poll and tell me why Nashmeister is rated in the Top 100. Is it because he knows nothing about football or because he has been around the longest? I would sa ...(more)

Kubiak needs to give Steve Slaton his carries.

Tom Coughlin never benched Tiki Barber when he fumbled. Coaches don't bench quarterbacks for throwing two or three picks. He needs to understand that Steve Slaton is a p ...(more)

Thoughts On Texans...

At this point we're 5-5 and at the medicore mark again. But the talent on this team is anything but medicore. That has a lot of fans looking at Gary Kubiak. Is it justified? I don't know. I question him myself a bit as well because many times we ...(more)
