    Best game Chris Palmer has called all season, maybe in his Texans career (except for running three times inside the 10 yard line).

    I think because DD was out, they actually used the HB to RUN and the WR's to PASS...the screens were going to Andre more, and he does a lot more with those than our HB's do, as well as catching those slants.

    I've been saying it all season...get Andre the ball and nothing but good things will happen for this offense. He's to big, strong, and fast to be stopped.

    Great game by the Texans. If I was Capers I would think about letting Dunta Robinson return punts because he is a threat to score everytime he touches the ball. He reminds me alot of Phillip Buchcanon. I don't think he will be a shutdown corner but the guy can make plays.

    Paraphrase warning....Capers said something of the effect that D'angelos Hall's return ability was worthg zero because he wouldn't risk a starting CB returning kicks.

    I think he meant Capers was talking about Hall's perceived value over Robinson because he is an excellent punt returner.

    I don't really agree with that. I know he is the coach so he can do what he wants but when you have a playmaker like Dunta on the team you need to put that guy on the field as much as you can. I would leave JJ on kickoffs and put Dunta on the punt returns.

    I was amazed at how many false starts the Raiders had. Didnt they have like 8 or 9 false starts? I'm not complaining though, my team won.

    Excellent win for the Texans. The play calling looked much better, and the O-Line played excellent......Good Luck the rest of the way!!

    Well, Woodson may have shut Moss down, but he didn't do much to Andre. I especially enjoyed that first quick side pass where Johnson juked Woodson so bad he almost didn't even get a finger on him as he blew right by.

    Andre is the man.

    I think by year 4 he will be in the same class as Moss, T.O. and Harrison.
