This is going to sound very pessimistic, but I don't care...

This game is one of the reasons why the Texans piss me off so much...

They are putting up an ol' fashion beat down...

This game represents their true potential...

They are just SOOOO wishy washy...

I wish they would play like this every time...

Locker is sacked by Reed! -10.

I think it's been answered which team was the contender and which one was the pretender. The Titties caught the Ravens in a trap game and, otherwise, haven't distinguished themselves.

I wanted to beat these mofos 62-0 but I suppose this victory speaks loudly enough.

Very impressed with the total dominance today. Very impressed.

What a game ! And is the most "complete" game we've played to date ? Can't think of one to top it ?
I did not think we'd do well today, so to say I was pleasantly surprised that we had this kind of performance is for sure a gigantic understatement.
There really is little doubt now who's got the most talent in the division this year, so the job is for Kubiak and his coachs to manage it effectively and not blow the division title and our playoff opportunity.

Saw a Kubiak quote from Texans twitter - Something to the effect of they "think" Manning will be able to play again this year.....

That's a bit of a damper.

Seeing early reports of a factured tibia. Absolute best case - 4 weeks. Absolute worse case 10 weeks....

Bummer.....

Great game by the Texans, this put Texans in first place in the AFC South.

All three phases of the team played well.

The defense did an excellent job holding Chris Johnson to 18 yards on 10 carries plus a fumble and a total offense of 148 yards.

Cushing played at All-Pro level. Two rookies Watt and Reed each had a sack. Manning and McCain each had interceptions.

Offense had 518 total yards, most by Texans in a non overtime game. Arian had total of 234 yards offense, 115 rushing and 119 receiving. Tate added 104 yds rushing, just fantastic.

Excellent beating Titans in a rivalry game, 41-7, even better than margin I had predicted.
