[Nconroe]

well, it is a pretty close game for Texans being in control most of the first half. Hopefully we come out strong second half this week.

[TheMatrix31]

The D is nothing without Mario.

[Nconroe]

does sound like Mario has a chest injury and likely won't be back second half. does seem the pressure on qb was a little less after Mario went out and Campbell started completing passes with the little extra time.

[Arky]

Tough game.... shouldn't be this close. Texans OL is getting pushed around.....
