I'm hoping Kubiak and Schaub, and both are nice guys, are both gone at the end of this 2013 season , early January, 2014 would be ok. sooner, not latter. And best of luck to them in future.

I think Keenum could develop further, as to handle blitzes better, quicker releases at times, given time seems some good potential there.

Turnovers and a few plays are what have done in Texans this year, repeatedly in these close losses.

Tate still has four cracked ribs, bound to hurt sometimes, likely he should be resting.

It was nice to see a good FG and a ST return for touchdown for a nice change in those areas.

Somehow Texans are 101/2 point favorites over Jags this coming weekend.
