Don't forget the team was 2-0 last year too.

O'Brien and staff are getting improved production out of previous hot messes. Brooks Reed, the right side of the OL, fat aggie, special teams...

Granted, the Texans have played two of the hottest messes in the NFL in the Redskins and the Raiders, but still, this was a convincing win on the road.

Just please stay healthy. TIA

Early line = Texans 1 to 2.5 pt favorites over the New York Giants

And when Giant fans are finished wagering, it will be 3.5.

I wouldn't call the Redskins one of the worst after they just pasted Jacksonville. Many thought Jacksonville was much improved before the season and I saw as many predictions with them ahead of us as not.

And with talent that made people say we were about like JAX, we have looked light years better. I don't say all that to disagree, I just think those wins were about more than level of competition.

I can remember times under Kubiak we were so talented at every spot but QB that we beat almost all of the teams we were supposed to. I can remember just being terrible under Capers. But in our short history have we ever been a team that overachieved? Since Head Coach is right up there with QB for the most importance in winning in the NFL, I am more encouraged by being well coached for once than I am discouraged about any of the dozen serious issues this roster still has.

First place, baby. All to ourselves. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Game balls

- The entire Oline, not one sack in two games

- Arian Foster - two games with 53 carries and over 100 yds each game, which also is assisted by the Oline

- Kareem Jackson , with the game changing interception when Raiders were driving.

Way to go guys, lots of teamwork by everyone everywhere.

And it is nice to win.

Enjoy it a little longer. The Colts lost at home to the Eagles on Monday Night to fall 0-2 on the season.

HOU 2-0
TEN 1-1
JAX 0-2
IND 0-2

Pinch yourself if you thought we'd ever have a two-game lead on Indy at any time this season.
