    Judging by today ....the Redskins put 27 points on us.

    Simple answer NO.

    McNabb had a career day. Things like that aren't going to happen every week.

    And the Redskins put 27 on us...and lost. THAT'S the important thing.

    Simple answer: maybe, maybe yes.

    The Saints gave up 27 points three times last year and 30+ points twice.

    ...all in wins.

    I think they are on track to being a contender this year. This is what worries me so far:

    Week 1
    Peyton Manning: 433 Yds

    Week 2
    Donovan McNabb: 426 Yds

    Hopefully this trend does not continue. At least we have the offense to make up for the lack of passing defense at this point.

    Like I said, Im not going to vote yet, because its too early, the texans barely won against the redskins.

    I will vote in the middle if the season.

    If they can tighten up on the defense and the zone coverage I think the are.

    our offense is one of the best and we can score on any defense, we have good 2 RB, great QB, Andre is Andre, Super mario, and our young guys are developing, they definitely have bright future.

    I can't wait for cushing to get back, our defense will be way better.

    It's not by how much they won, but how they won. The win against the Redskins is a win that playoff teams make.

    Hey, we are trending down....Let's keep that up. Seriously, I am not happy, but as stated no such thing as a perfect team. I believe the corners and rest of the secondary will get better. Amazing how we are against the run thus far. Keep it in perspective.

    On 104.9 here in Austin, I heard these words this morning as they were discussing Week 2...

    [rquoter]"I'm not sure if the Texans are the best team in the AFC, but they're in the conversation."[/rquoter]

    This from the station that dropped their broadcasts for the cowboys and almost never discusses the Texans. I nearly drove off the road.

    No, they're not in the conversation for "best in the AFC", yet, but it was damn nice to hear it not be in context to the team the Texans are playing in a given week.

    I'm going to vote at the bye. But you can't deny they are in the running as it stands.
