Maybe so, but I think TB is a tough away game. I think Dre would possibly make a difference in winning or losing. And we DO need this game.

I agree 100%. This one would be no gaurantee with him, and it's a dogfight without him. We need to lead early to make sure it's our run game controlling things.

OK I agree that I do not want to lose a game right now, but this game is not a big one when it come to seating for the playoffs. So this game is not a must win game.

That said I am using this game to see what team the Texans are now. The same mentally weak team that we have been for the past ten years or a mentally tough(MT) team that wins games they should win.

Tampa Bay is not a push over, few teams are in the NFL, and the Texans appear to be the better team on paper, so they should win this game going into the bye week. And again if they win they will be closer to being a MT team.

If they do win this week then I have one more test before I declare them a MT team, that is they must win the game coming out of the bye week also. This team has no business losing to Jacksonville in two weeks, and winning tomorrow can be seen as the 1st sign that they are a different team now.

You mean what we've done so far and how we've played and how the defense has dramatically improved weren't already signs that we're a different team?

Well, okay I guess.

....just run it down their throats, take care of the ball, and kick some ass on D. Do that, and we'll get the W.

Ah, but you can't just run it down a good defenses throat, without a decent passing game to setup the play action and keep the D off balance
