Wasn't able to watch the game, but it sounds like our running defense and defense actually showed up today. Nice to hear Carr and AJ continue to roll. Despite last week Carr has played pretty damn well this season, and for the most part he's done it with absolutely no running game. At the beginning of the year I said we'd win five games, but six or seven might be possible with this semi-upset over the Jags. Even if we split with the Titans, the Browns, Raiders, Bills, and even the Jets are winnable games. Also if Indy is benching players for the playoffs already, we might actually have a chance against them as well (yeah I know I'm dreaming). Go Texans!!!
man, talk about a much needed bright spot after that loss against dallas. what a sweet upset. go texans!
I said that in regards to Carr throwing the two piks against Dallas, that was the topic at the time, didn't have anything to do with the Jax game.
I'd say this win had more to do with the Jags and Leftwich playing AWFUL more so than the Texans playing good. Some of you are acting like the Texans just won the super bowl. 2-4
I thought you cared more about wins, than "pretty boy's stats". They played good enough to beat most teams, didn't make mistakes with the ball, didn't allow huge plays on defense, and took advantage of every opportunity (turnover) given to them. Yea, Jacksonville didn't look like the Super Bowl contender they were supposed to be... but you may have to give the defense at least some credit for that.
We are just having fun. It's only football. It is nothing to really care about enough to bash the home team.
I agree, jgreen91. I'm just as excited as you. We've won 2 out of the last 3 games, we've already matched our win total from last year, and we're actually 2-2 at home this year. Things are really looking up. I share your optimism and I think I speak for both of us when I say let's give the team a laurel and hardy GO TEXANS!!!
Awesome. Did not expect that, but great to see against what is supposed to be a really good Jags team. Either way, excellent job.
Boy, this one caught me by surprise. Saw a bit of the game, and I can' believe I am about to say this, the Texans looked "good." A turning point? Please let it be true, I couldn't have taken much more of their absolutely pathetic play, BUT, today, they actually looked like a football team. Hope springs eternal. And next week, start Lundy.
I have been watching all the Texan's games for the last few years, and could just NOT get into them. But this year, I find myself being drawn more and more to them...and carve time out to see the whole game. I thought Carr looked outstanding today, and if Lundy can settle down, he can be a productive back. It was a GREAT victory for the team today, they played hard, and were rewarded, and I think the Coaching staff called a very good game too. DD
FATAL ERROR: False Assertion Detected!!! Attempting to reproduce original context.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Liar Liar, Mario Hater, Your pants are on fire.
Nice Try. And what a great prediction it was. Carr didn't throw two costly interceptions and we won. Rocket Science.
Nice try, but no cigar. Quoth you: You could at least try to make excuses for your perpetual negativity without making up lies.
I mentioned it earlier, but I think it bares repeating... When the Texans failed to convert a 3rd and short LATE in the game (we were already up by double digits), you could see that Kubiak was FURIOUS... this was probably something that the team worked on all week, they had looked pretty good at converting up till that point, and he didn't want anybody "relaxing" towards the end of the game and forgetting all the progress they had made. Just like we fault coaches to not make adjustments after losses, coaches should also be mindful of keeping the pressure/making adjustments after WINS... that is something I believe this franchise has failed to do till now. Too often, too many people were patting themselves on the back after big wins in previous years... whether it was Carr, the defense, or even the coahces/GM themselves. The lack of addressing the O-line, or lack of continuing to stock-pile depth/talent after the 7-9 year was just a microcosm of that whole mindset. Kubiak is all about accountability (kinda like JVG)... he's benched Steve McKinney, and today Jason Babin (who had some injury problems, but still expected to play)... in favor of guys like Weary and Peak (who was great today). Lundy's play proves that you do get second chances in his system (and players are expected to make the most of it). And Mario/the defense has seemed to respond with consistent efforts after getting abolutely torched the first three weeks (last week was more of a case of turnovers, and lack of offense/running game that hampered the defense). Its still good to see wins... but progress for this team is far more important. They have to gain confidence, and learn how to do some things WELL enough so that other teams will have to start adjusting for once.
Are you really a Texans fan?? Your a hater and love Bush so I figured that I would hate on Reggie Bush. Bush has a whopping 196 yards on 65 carries. Lundy is at 150 now with 36 carries. Yea ...I know that he has a bunch of receptions, blah blah blah, but dude cant run the ball. You cant sugarcoat that.
EVERY WIN is a SUPER BOWL win. What is it for you, "just a win"? The TEXANS scored 27 and kep LEFTWICH from scoring 27 on them. That's not the TEXANS winning it fair and square? Tell me, man, what can the TEXANS do to make YOU happy?
