Remaining Schedule: Oct 29 @Tennessee Nov 5 @N.Y. Giants Nov 12 @Jacksonville Nov 19 Buffalo Nov 26 @N.Y. Jets Dec 3 @Oakland Dec 10 Tennessee Dec 17 @New England Dec 24 Indianapolis Dec 31 Cleveland This team could very well win 6 more games this season.
is this our first blowout? i can't remember the last game where i didn't worry about the outcome (ok, to be more specific, a Texans win). Go Texans, baby!
We beat tennessee twice (easily), then Oakland and Cleveland. 6-10 for the year. If we beat Buffalo, 7-9. That would be a HUGE improvement over 2-14.
Yes. Jason Elam and Tom Dempsey share the record at 63 yards. Interesting sidenote...Tom Dempsey's kicking foot was deformed, which makes his 63 yarder all the more amazing.
Let's not jump the gun here. Regardless of our record, you can tell this is an improved team and a team headed in the right direction. Our OL allowed one sack all day. Our defense looked like an NFL defense. We scored at will in the 2nd half. Carr looked polished and was making sound decisions. Although the stat sheet doesn't reflect it, Mario Williams was making an impact. I really like the direction in which we are headed.
Great game. Still a little disappointed in the short yardage situations. Carr looked good. AJ had another good game. Walter and Moulds made a few catches. Lundy had the best running game of any Texans this season. Probably the best defensive game the Texans have had since that Pittsburgh game a few years back. Not one particular player had a stellar game, but the team as a whole stopped the Jags. I'm glad Faggins is back.
I don't know if you threw that easily in there to spark conversation or if you actually believe that.
I agree. They looked pretty good out there today. Amazing what a little running game can do for a team.
I actually thought his foot 'helped' him kick long field-goals. They way his shoe/boot was shaped, it looked like that was the case. Elam's FG was helped by mile-high air in Denver. Thus, taking all this into consideration... Bryant's FG today may have been the longest true FG by a kicker not in Denver, not in a dome, and not with a shoe that may have helped kick long FG's.
And you remind me of a pansy defeatist. You continue to live in your depressed world, the rest of us keep on smiling. SCNR.
Actually it gave him a slight advantage. Dempsey was born with a club foot (no toes at all), and was given permission by the NFL to wear a shoe that was specifically made for his foot and ended in very blunt, almost completely squared off, toe. As a straight ahead kicker, he was thus able to strike a larger surface area of the ball, thereby driving the ball better than a kicker with a normal foot. Science and football, a winning combination.
Good game against the schizo Jags. But the offense was deader than a doornail in the 3rd quarter. Kubiak must do something about that because it's getting old. The defense looked better than ever. This kind of win is hits the spot right after the complete catastrophe last week. Next week, I'm rooting for Vince Young to do great and the Texans to win the game.
