Ok, here is the next take em one at a time game.
Big questions appears can we get defense back on track with the next man up.
Or will first guy up be back to fix defense?
Palmer has been fired, QB coach Loggains taking over OC duties.

Boy, I never saw that one coming.

Palmer sucks as an OC. He is an OK QB coach.
As they all typically do, the HC starts whacking underlings when the ship starts sinking. Munchak is trying to save his a$$ right now.
TV = CBS (channel 11 local), noon Sunday
Announcers (http://www.the506.com/nflmaps/2012/wk13.html) = Kevin Harlan, Solomon Wilcots
The line (http://www.madduxsports.com/nfl-odds.php) = Texans by 6 to 7
(looks like I understimated the early 4.5 pt. spread.... the public is all over the Texans)
Tania Ganguli (@taniaganguli) tweeted:
Antoine Caldwell, Bradie James, Johnathan Joseph, Derek Newton and Brooks Reed all out for Sunday's game. #Texans

Cornerback Alan Ball will be a game-time decision. Missed practice with a sore foot. #Texans
Uh.....wow.

I guess on defense we get Tim Dobbins and Shaun Cody back, so that is good.
And we get to see perhaps more of Brandon Harris at CB, seemed to do ok last week while in there.
On offense, having Tate back may help some. I guess good they kept an extra OL on the 53 man roster or that would be really thin now.

Texans inactives: CB Joseph, CB Ball, ILB James, OLB Reed, G Caldwell, G White, OT Newton

So Ball is now definitely out, that ain't good because he wasn't that bad at times vs Detroit's Johnson, and we were already thin at corner with JonJoseph
out again. Looks like we are gonna see for sure what Harris and Roc got ?

There are innumerable examples of coaching staffs at all levels making puzzling decisions about whom to play and whom to sit. A starting quarterback gets hurt and his replacement is clearly better. A running back spends the bulk of the year on the practice squad and goes on to have a HOF career. Etc. Let's hope that Brandon Harris ends up falling into this category.

Texans' offense has gone limp.
3 TDs up with 6 minutes to go in the third, how much longer does Schaub stay in there ? Wasn't it about this time of the season last year when Haynesworth

Of course luck and colts are exceeding expectations but they also lost four games including to three teams texans have beaten - Jaguars, Bears, and Jets.
So likely Texans are a little better overall.
good win today, nice tp see Texans get six turnovers and hold Titans to only 10 points.

I don't see us beating them in Indy later this month, but hopefully it will be because we don't need the game to improve our playoff seed position and are therefor resting starters. BTW, thanks to the Steelers for helping us today.
Early line on Texans vs. Patriots is Patriots favored by 4.5 (http://www.madduxsports.com/nfl-odds.php).....

now, there is definitely a chance that the colts take one of the game against the texans, but y'all are talking like they are one of the best teams in the nfl. sure they have a good record, but they are not some juggernaught. and looking at their win in regulation and saying that the texans couldn't that, and somehow saying that is a reason for concern is just not using your brain. first, the lions traditionally play well on thanksgiving. second, our kicker missed a fg that should have ended it in regulation. third, the texans were coming off less than 4 days rest from an overtime game and were the first team in nfl history to win two games in those circumstances.
so while the colts may well win a game against the texans, but let's hold off the doom and gloom for a little bit.

The Colts have won a *lot* of close games this year which can lead to believing a) they aren't as good as their record or b) they know how to win the close ones. I think both sentences are probably true and the thing the Texans ought to try to do is open up with some points early to try to take them out of the game.
Tania Ganguli of the Houston Chronicle just tweeted:
#Texans CB Brice McCain had surgery this morning to repair his broken foot. He'll be out about 6 weeks, per a person familiar w/injury.

BUMMER!
Update - In his presser, Kubiak said he is designated to return, but that is an 8 wk. deal.
John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) tweeted:
With CB Brice McCain designated 2 return, he must miss 6 weeks and then practice for 2 more weeks. That means he could return for Super Bowl

Texans defensive end J.J. Watt was credited with an extra sack in Sunday’s 24-10 victory against Tennessee.
Titans quarterback Jake Locker fumbled, and it was originally ruled a team sack. The Texans protested to Elias Sports Bureau, and after reviewing the tape, Elias agreed with the Texans.
Watt now has 16 ˝ sacks for the season. Early in the season, Elias took away a Watt sack against Miami, so it all evened out.
In a conference call with Houston media today, Patriots coach Bill Belichick called Watt the league’s defensive player of the year.
