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.

With that prediction I frankly thought you were crazier than a shithouse rat.

Thnx, staying away from the dumb interceptions and stupid penalties negating big plays made a lot of difference in the results.

I suppose we need to give Kubiak and coaches credit for changing the offense and Schaub for executing consistently. And OL did well again, nice to see that.

Just proves you can be stupid and crazy and still be right some times. Winning makes everyone feel better. Hopefully this is the step we needed to finally make playoffs.

I knew we would beat some ass.

Losing Danieal Manning is killer though....ugh. Damn injuries.

I think the training staff should probably be replaced no matter what happens.
