This is the chance for the Texans to earn their respect throughout the NFL. Also the schedule only gets harder from here.
-Line is at a measley 3.5!?!
-Vikings are a Turf Team
-Vikings RB is hurt
-Texans could easily be 3-1 right now

You're forgetting Culpepper and Moss. I hope the Texans can pull it out. I'm going to be rooting for them.

Aside from the second half last week, the Texans defense certainly hasn't been spectacular this year. On the other hand, they are improving, and last week's take-aways were nice.
Offensively, I think they are continuing to gel. The 4 offensive keys to me have to be: (1) no turnovers, (2) touchdowns instead of field goals in the red-zone, (3) continued consistent zone line-blocking, (4) keep feeding Andre Johnson. A dominant running back would help, but I don't think it's necessary.
This will be a tough game to win, but I'll be optimistic.

A shootout. 2 great offensive teams.
Texans 31
Vikes 28
Carr 300+ passing yards
Dre 100+ receiving yards
Whoever plays RB will go over 100yds.

With the defense that Vikings have i would be really mad if Palmer didn't run some plays that stretched their defense and took a shot deep cause every other team has done it and been successful.
Either way

Let's go Texans! Hopefully the Astros won't need a game 4 so I can watch this game....
Otherwise I will have to be flipping through the channels during ads....mainly watching the Stros.

Texans 35
David Carr: 23/36,316 yds, 3 TD's
Andre Johnson: 8 rec, 122 yds, 2 TD's
Domanick Davis: 18 carries, 84 yds, 1 TD
Vikings 24
Daunte Culpepper: 25/39, 265 yds, 3TD's
Randy Moss: 7 rec, 92 yds, 2 TD's
Kelly Campbell: 4 rec, 64 yds, 1 TD's
Inactive Vikes:
RB Micheal Bennett (OUT)
LB E.J Henderson (OUT)
TE Jerome Wiggins (OUT)
RB Ontarrio Smith (OUT)
Inactive Texans:
SS Eric Brown (OUT)
DL Junior Ioane (OUT)
I honestly believe the Texans have found their groove as a team, and are prepared to take that next step towards a playoff run. If the O-Line can perform similarly to last week, and the D can hurry Daunte, the Texans will win. [/QUOTE]

Looks like Moe WIlliams might actually be out as well leaving M. Moore as their starting running back which could be a good thing for us.

Actually I'm worried about this. Moore is a pretty good back with great hands and loves to catch those short passes out of the backfield and turn them into big gains. As long as we can contain this I think we can handle their running game. Isn't Matt Birk banged up as well?

Texans...28
Vikings...27
Close game that will be won in the 4th qtr. With the Vikes on their 4th running back, it will be important that Sharper and Foreman keep Culpepper in the pocket, Wong and Babin/Peek smack him if he leaves the pocket, and that the DB's stay with their man. It seems that when an opposing QB gets outside of the pocket and the WR's start to improvise, our DB's loose concentration and give them a big enough hole to sit in, especially on 3rd down.
GO TEXANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go Texans. Moss will recieve double coverage all game, which will give opportunities for Kelly Campbell to have a big game (most likely against Dunta). If at any point Moss is single covered he will torch our secondary, much like he does in single coverage against any opponent. I would like to see some zone blitzing with over the top coverage from the Texans defense that will hopefully confuse Culpepper and allow us to get pressure. We do have home field here combined with their running back woes, so there are some bright spots. I don't know how good our chances are but, Go Texans!

Yes...we need to let more hang-out and put the blitz in effect--look what it did to the Raiders--busy watching snarling LB's instead of waiting for the snap

I don't think it is Caper's call to make. I remember something about the NFL having final say about 1 1/2 hours prior to game time.

I don't think it is up to the NFL. It is up to the Texans, but they have to make the final decision 1 1/2 hours before the game.

I think you're right but Mark said bring your ponchos because if it starts to rain during the game, they do not have to close the roof and Capers wants the roof open.
So we know for sure that the roof will be open? Where is this kind of info listed?
Just wondering. This is my first game at Reliant this season.

they make that decision 30 minutes or so prior to game time based on weather forecasts.
whether opened or closed, they can move it once during the game...but not again. they're stuck at that point.

Won't be. Fox has rights to both Dallas and Houston game, but has decided to show the Dallas game over the Texans. I hate Dallas.

The Vikings will beat the Texans by picking apart their defense that has allowed several TD's in this already short season.

Glenn hasn't been exactly spectacular this season either. Even if Dunta continues to improve and look great all this season, I could see this team picking a CB in the first or second round again next year. Probably 2nd if we have a high draft pick.

will they ever pass on first down? i just click over to see DD get the ball on first down again. last i heard, he was getting 1.8 yards per carry this game....
they said that minny allows so man passing yards becuase their opponents are behind....
well....we're behind.....and its only going to get worse given minny's field position. let the offense go.

Maybe after this second half by Andre, Chris Palmer will pull his head out of his a$$ and center the offense around Johnson instead of DD. Especially when you are playing one of the worst ranked passing defenses in the league.
