Texans receive the opening kickoff and AD returns it to about the 31 but holding penalty knocks it back to the 21.
------------- Texans move the ball down the field with short passes and runs burning up about 8 minutes of clock. Rosenfels hits Walter for the 17 yd TD to cap it off. Texans 7, Browns 0

That was a nice opening drive. Good mix of the run and pass. Now let's see what the defense can do.

Wow. A fumble recovery. When's the last time that's happened?

What is this when the opponent drops the ball and our defense jumps on it? What happens now? I don't remember that happening for our defense.

Glad they picked up the 1st on 4th down, but Kubiak continually going for it on 4th down bothers me. Some think it shows confidence in your guys. I think it's the other way around. If you're constantly taking risks that other teams don't take, it says you don't think you can just line up and beat the other team playing by-the-numbers football.

What kind of play calling was that? After the opening drive, I'd have a little confidence in Rosencopter.

A draw on 3rd and 13 from the 15. Way to play for the FG, Gary.

This is what confuses me. Kubiak goes for it on 4th down but then is conservative and settles for the field goal. I certainly don't have a problem playing conservative after the penalty, particularly with Sage. However, if you aren't willing to let your QB try and make a play and are fine with settling for a field goal, what was the point of going for it on 4th?
