The 2-2 Texans travel up to San Francisco for a Sunday night contest against the 49'ers (2-2). The Texans are coming off a 23-20 loss to the Seahawks and the 49'ers are coming off an impressive 35-11 victory over the Rams on Thursday night football. The 49'ers will have the benefit of a few days extra rest.

Here's hoping Schaub has a good game and protects the ball.

Let's have a full game something like first half against Seattle.

Build some consistency and confidence headed to playoffs.

My opinion, it could happen.

Both teams have been a bit dysfunctional so far this season, causing some self-doubt. I think the SF defense is much better when Patrick Willis is playing. He'll be a big factor in stopping Foster/Tate.

The next question is whether the Texans try to make this a "statement game". They haven't had much success in those, especially on the road.

as long as they don't break out the letterman jackets i am fine with this being a statement game.

Per 610 radio, Cushing and D Brown ready to go....

God I hope I'm wrong, but I look for a real understated effort by the Texans tomorrow night in San Fran. Like I say, hope they fool me but after last Sundays
maximum effort against Seattle in a game which they should have clearly won I don't expect to see that same team take the field tomorrow night on the road on the west coast.
