    It's amazing what can be done when not limited to an IHOP menu.

    People forget we had the Seahawks beat until Kubiak and Schaub decided to test Richard Sherman with the clock running down.

    Stupid is as stupid does.

    Defense looked very good.

    Offense struggled but I did see some positives in the run game.

    Nice to get the win but it's hard to get a feel for how much it was the texans being good and/or the skins big bad. ..or both.

    Why am I not surprised Ben Tate got hurt already?

    Can't believe Clowney is down for the count already.
    Was REALLY looking forward to he and JJ wreaking havoc on the D line.

    Will have to wait 1/2 season now.

    I think that was the best Brooks Reed has ever played. He looked like a totally different player. Quick on his feet, changing directions, instinctive....very surprised

    Good win by them Texans Boyz.

    Defense looks very promising. This has to be Brooks Reed best game of his NFL. Lol hey the man is trying to get paid.

    Watt played like the 100 million dollar man. Dude is a beast and a game changer.

    Andre Johnson had 9 catches 93 yards. All this man does is put in work.

    The workhorse A. Foster had 103 yards on 27 carries. He had some really good runs but have to hold onto the football, especially in the red zone.
    Special team was outstanding, wow having seen that in a long time.

    Great win Texans.

    That was the nicest surprise for me as well. I had high hopes for Clowney this year and I sort of hoped that Whitney Mercilus would figure it out and be a good outside edge rusher...but I had totally written Brooks Reed off. I wasn't expecting anything from him and he was all over the field.

    And I didn't think it was physically possible, but JJ Watt looks even better this year than in years past (after one game). The guy is so incredibly disruptive nearly every play.

    Assuming we win 8 games this year (my prediction), this is exactly how the 8 wins are going to look. Lots of Arian, good and bad moments for Fitzpatrick, strong defense, low scores.

    Yeah, OB even said they script out the first 15-20 plays but are ready to switch up if need be.

    They even go off the same foundation, using the run to set up everything. Our biggest play, came out of the play action. Like in a lot of games with Kubes

    I hope someone can make a JJ Watt highlight video of this first game. There were so many times Watt was impactful.

    This team ain't soft.

    Look what they did to ATL in camp.

    On another note.

    Can anyone tell me a site to where I can rewatch the game?

    I was there, too much beer.
