    It's impressive. I still think last year's 49ers rush defense was better, but I'm surprised after Cushing went down that they've been able to keep it up (and get better). Offense still needs work, it's too inconsistent. Special Teams is still a big concern, not sure how that'll improve.

    Glad you didn't post this thread.

    Because then I'd have to call you out on which word to properly use in the title.

    smh OP.

    Texans proved that they can play NFC style football in sloppy conditions. Good character win for the team tonight.

    They have also only given up only 1 rush all season that has been at least 20 yards.

    I was arguing with someone in the game thread last week who was actually worried about Matt freakin' Forte. LOL.

    16 carries, 39 yards, 2.4 ypc, 0 TD's. Complete non-factor.

    Everyone thinks we are so susceptible to the run, but when you factor only 1 rush against us over 20 yards, zero rush TD against us... WOW! ...not by accident this happens

    Great start to the season, now we just have to keep it up. Jacksonville here we come, time to bring out the broom.

    No, I think he's just pointing out that one 20+ yd run we allowed happened vs a crap team that was getting blown out.

    Exactly. I never inferred we will always stop the run no matter what...lol ...0 TD rushing for the season speaks for the consistency and defense of this team...that said, I didn't take what juicy said as a poke. CJ has a right to show his teeth...the team he plays for can't say the same thing
