Prior to this game the Raiders DL had been last in defense against the run.

I don't care if they were playing for their momma. We lost one we shoulda won! Schaub proved that you give him a little rush and he will give the ball up. JJ played the worst game of his career. I know he blows hot and cold sometimes, but he was iced today. Not worthy of being the #1 option while AJ is out. The TEs tried to carry the load, but only proved it takes a proven pro WR like AJ to get the defense out of their gameplan.

At the end with a chance to salt this one away, Schaub proved he gets rattled under pressure, and JJ on that last play was fronting the defender Michael Huff, but inexplicably at the last second chose to go behind the defender making it impossible for Schub to get it to him, making it easy for Huff to make the int and salt the win for 'ol "just win baby" Davis.

Both Kubiak and Wade Phillips were unable to adjust yet again to what the other team was doing all game long on defense. They also made journeyman QB Jason Camkpbell look like an all-pro.

Altogether a sucky effort by the Texans in their own playpen. Inexcusable!
