I'm also encouraged by the fight these guys showed to climb back in to the game. Not sure we'd see that under Kubiak.

We have some big holes on this roster, but this team has been competitive and in a position to win 5 out of 6 games. Ball hasn't bounced our way in the last two, but they've been pretty entertaining games.

Yep, I agree with most of this. Throw out that pesky 1st qtr, and the Texans win 28-9. The Colts are one of the better teams in the AFC and they are lucky to get the win. It's a shame we couldn't take advantage of the home-field advantage but now, I expect us to keep it close if not win up in Indy later this year. If they play like they did in the last 3 qtrs. against the upcoming Steelers, I think we win that game easily.

I still think the Texans are an evolving/developing team - they still don't quite have it going, yet - too many missed assignments/mental errors on both sides of the ball. And part of the blame goes to the coaching. But this coaching staff (so far) seems conscientious enough to make the adjustments. They just need a little time.....

I will say in Fitz's defense, he had few clean pockets to throw from last night. But those first few series were just brutal and the fumble at the end was on him even though it was another breakdown in pass protection...
