    Texans franchise remains undefeated against the Bears. We still haven't beaten PHI.

    Good start to the season besides Cushing. Fuller, Mercilys, and Brock all made their presence felt.

    Don't really like the brady offense without brady but Oz is going to get me to like it. He just throws a beautiful ball, could have easily had 300 yards, but even 231 is excellent because of our 3rd down %.

    Fuller will have one of the best rookie performances of the week! So shifty and still be able to keep that speed.

    That defense! Merciless and simon made jay cutler into that smoking man he is and without sending too many on blitzes.

    JDC Vince and JJ is a thing of beauty. Some of y'all need to appreciate what we have. Could be the best d-line in the league.

    For the record, John Simon, Whitney Mercilus, Jadeveon Clowney, and Max Bullough all outplayed Khalil Mack.

    Mercilus has really taken advantage of the opportunities he's been given due to the attention those guys have been getting. If he can keep it up, it'll spell good things all season long.

    Still not sure what the Bears saw to instigate a challenge. Anyway, turned out to be a good thing as it cost the a time out.

    Vince Wilfork was our best player along with Merciless.

    Rewatch the game y'all.

    Bears couldn't stop him.

    Mercilus did a good job of taking advantage of the opportunities he was given due to the attention that Wilfork, Clowney and Watt were getting. If he can keep that up, he'll be a pro bowler, but let's not forget the guys that make it possible for him.

    In others words: business as usual for Cushing.

    Good win. Still some things to work out, and the OL definitely has to get better. Need to see how this team performs against a better team. Should be able to tell in the next 2 weeks how well they fare against a team like the Chiefs and Patriots.

    The Chiefs looked pretty terrible against a pretty bad Chargers team today and the Patriots are going to be very shorthanded. I don't know that either will be better than the Bears as weird as that is to say.
