Absolute complete domination. Can't remember the last time I saw the Texans do this to another team. The Bengals suck and all, but that doesn't mean that they can't hang. The Texans just ripped their hearts out beginning with Jones' PR for a touchdown. If Andre Johnson isn't creeping up the MVP charts, there's something severely wrong.
3-4! woot franchise record of 3 straight LOL. We should've never let up to the colts . If jags and colts lose this week they're both 3-4 and we're still last place.. Oh well, here's to another Texans win!
I'm trying to put that and the Jacksonville game out of my head. It pains me to remember. Just keep looking forward.
ANdre is the best receiver in the entire galaxy. The O-line played very well. Sundays feel much better when the team wins. =)
I don't want to rain on the parade, but while this was a good win for the Texans, the Bengals have already quit on Marvin Lewis and it showed today. They had no spark or motivation. Beating them down was like taking candy from a baby. That said, I really liked the way Schaub threw the ball and the way he and AJ play as one. That is key. But the Vikings and Ravens will put up much more resistance and force the offense to beat them another way. I am really pumped for Minnesota next week.
The fact that yall are celebrating like this is a big deal amazes me. It's the Bengals for crying out loud. Playing without their quarterback. If you didn't win this one it was time to worry. And A_3po... it's been evident since last season that he had lost the team. It doesn't help when your owner goes against what you say and brings back the problem players you keep trying to get rid of. I seriously wish the Bengals would be sold to someone who cares. The Reds too. Anyone know any multimillionaires who want to buy a loyal fan base in Cincinnati? It's disgusting to have to follow such horrible teams. Thank god we don't have an NBA team... so I can follow the team of my choice.
the fact that someone tries to downplay this win doesn't suprise me at all..... hell, why not take some shots at Kubiak for allowing the worst team in the leauge to post 2 field goals on his team? bag Schaub, cause you know he took a sack......granted it was garbage time...but we are being honest here and sloppy play is fair game...... The Titans, Giants and Cowboys didn't slap the Bengals around this bad.......
face it if they had taken care of business against the colts and jags, they could have been an amazing 5-2
Great game, it was very entertaining. Even though it was a game we were supposed to win, we absolutely manhandled them. The City of Cincinnati SUCKS. Go H-town.
Yes, Salaam gets a few plays every week at left tackle, he was in on the Slaton TD run, but Brown started and played most of the game.
Its the Texans for crying out loud. They've lost to the Bengals 4 straight times (once even when Cincy was 0-7), and they've lost to many a team without their starting QB (and in some cases, their 3rd string QB). If losing to Pittsburgh, Tennessee and Jacksonville on the road to start the season is call for "franchise-wide moves, coach firings, etc."... then beating up on teams the Texans are favored against warrants a measure of praise. Once again... nobody is saying that this team is going to waltz its way to a divison title. Simply that its the best offense they've ever shown, its the first time they've had a 3 game winning streak (no matter who the opponent), and they finally won a game comfortably against a team they were supposed to beat.
It's not so much that we won but the way we won. Schaub was on today. 280 yards, 3 TD's, and a 144 QB Rating (best of his career). AJ was phenomenon and now leads the league in receiving yards. Even on an off rushing day we still gained 100+ yards. The D gave up only 6 points. I know it's the Bengals but if you consider that they've given up 38, 31, 30, 31, 28, and 21 points in their other games this season, that's a substantial improvement regardless of the opponent. And the 253 yards the Bengals gained was a season low for a Texans opponent this season. We've beaten crappy teams before but it's been a while since we had a win where we were this dominant. Even though the Bengals are winless, there's still parity in this league and it's still difficult for one team to dominate another. And consider that this was Cincy's worst loss this season and that they've played the Titans, Giants, Steelers, and Cowboys (pre Romo injury).
The Bengals also played the Giants Titans and Cowboys with their starting quarterback. And for the record they lost to Pittsburgh by like four touchdowns. I understand your point though. I will agree that the Texans played very well today, but they should play well against a team of the Bengals caliber this season... especially without Palmer. I was just surprised at the "raping the Bengals" comment and others like it.
This win makes me all the more excited to go to the game in Cleveland! Nov. 23rd BABY! I hope we dominate the Vikings next week (it'll be a dog fight). Baltimore and Cleveland are looking tougher and tougher every week, also. Our next three games will be the most telling. They'll also decide where this season goes.
