Uh, not to pile on you too much, but Buffalo won despite being outgained 425-167........

We have OD, Walter, Jacoby, and Andre Davis. I would think we SHOULD be OK without AJ for this. In all honesty, I just found out about it, and I am of the opinion we give him the week off so we can be sure to get him back for Indy.

Not to mention, I think they have the worst rush defense in the league. Maybe we can get some garbage stats up to crawl out of the cellar....

McClain now reporting: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/...t/6685714.html

Texans receiver Andre Johnson left Sunday’s 24-21 victory over San Francisco with a chest injury but should be ready to play in the next game at Buffalo.

Johnson, who was injured in the fourth quarter, was taken to the hospital for X-rays before returning to Reliant Stadium to shower and dress after the Texans’ second consecutive victory.

“They’re telling me it’s a chest contusion,” coach Gary Kubiak said.

Kubiak will have an update on Johnson at his regular Monday afternoon news conference.

Johnson was injured when he caught a 44-yard pass on what proved to be the winning field goal drive. He fell on the ball, coughed up some blood and went to the sideline.

Johnson returned briefly, but when he tried to return a second time, some members of the team’s medical staff hid his helmet to keep him on the sideline rather than risk further injury.
Johnson’s catch down the middle gave the Texans the ball at San Francisco’s 41-yard line. Kris Brown finished the drive with a 50-yard field goal.

I added the bold for emphasis. AJ is a freaking beast! Get well soon, you are the freaking man!

So, basically, he's got some deep bruising but no broken bones. He should be fine. If there's any question, I'd hold him out this week so he's ready for Indy then has a bye week.

That sounds very promising. I hope he doesnt miss any action because right now every game is a must win.

Buffalo is unless you think we realistiocally have a shot at Indy ?
Losing both of those first 2 home games is a big handicap to overcome.

hey its football... anything can happen. How many people thought that we could defeat the 1 loss Titans last year? All we need is a lucky break and hopefully we can get a split with Indy.

realistically the good make their own breaks. Look at the two TD's the Pgh D scored after getting turnovers. What the Texans STILL need to do is put 2 good halves back to back, well disregarding the effort in the Cincy game. Point is it needs to be poked into the teams head until they start doing it. And Slayton is the man, so he has to hold on to the ball and quit waving it around for the defense to swipe out of his arm.
