What's more incredible is Kubiak will probably coach in the playoffs this year while we win 6 games. He definitely won the break-up.

It's amazing how much better a coach one becomes once you find yourself coaching one of the best three or four quarterbacks in the history of the game.

Although when I last looked they'd only notched a pair of FGs.

Meanwhile, Mariota looks damn good. Distressingly good. They never scored more than 28 points last year. They've scored 28 in the first half.

Another Winston pick. Mariota would have been a really good quarterback in Kubiak's system.

The Titans have scored 35 in the first half.

Less than ideal start, for sure. While the lack of a decent O didn't help, a pretty crappy performance on D was surprising. Thought they'd be solid. Really concerned with TE coverage. That dude was open all day long.

Hoyer's lack of game was not surprising. He's just not that good, and I wonder if we really traded up between he and Fitz. Hopefully, he'll give Mallett the reigns and we can see what he's all about. I'm hoping that OB's ego doesn't get in the way of a move everyone knows he should make. Not convinced Mallett is the answer, but I'm not sure if it could get much worse for a QB outing than what we saw from Hoyer today. So......why not?

I think that's what most of want - just a good, long look at Mallett. Let's see what he's got. Give me the slinger - I can live with an occasional INT as long as the guy is getting the ball out and with authority. The radio guys were making the point that the pacing was different with him at the controls and it was. These nervous little QB's like Fitz and Hoyer make me nervous.

----------------------------------

The 27-20 score belies how dominant the Chiefs were for most of the game. Even though the Texans had more first downs and yardage, it was the things like field position, too many 3 and outs and of course, the turnovers (2) that put them in the hole and kept them there. That KC punt returner was getting the ball back to midfield just about every time.....

-----------------------------------

High expectations for the Texan defense and they end up performing so poorly in stretches.... That was the real WTF of the game to me. They were better in the 2nd half but I think KC had gone somewhat conservative by then...

-----------------------------------

At least the Astros pulled one out of their butt today so not a totally bad day....

Not sure of the snap count, but he played more than I thought he would. Didn't do anything spectacular or anything stupid. So there's that.

He did come out healthy, or at least appears that way. That's positive.

Not really. Kubiak is the only coach that can start with Peyton Manning and wind up with him playing like Matt Schaub. Four sacks. Off-target throws. A pick 6. Three yard passes on 3rd and 8. Starting every series with a running play (usually to the left).

Same old Kubes, just wearing orange trim now instead of red.

I couldn't figure out why Denver fans were getting so upset about scoring 35 points a game. Okay, so Seattle killed them in the Super Bowl. The offense was still great the rest of the year.

Wade Phillips will save Kubiak the first year (that defense looks monstrous) but poor Peyton is going to retire with less rings than his brother and he'll never be able to live that down.

As for the Texans, I wanted Mallett at halftime simply because I think he is the better home run threat. Hoyer is probably the better QB is you are trying to run the clock and limit mistakes but Mallett is the guy with the fastball who can get you back in a hurry (or put you further back but, at that point, what difference does it make.

While the lady ref had our back, some of the others were terrible. The non-call in the end zone just before halftime cost us four points and one punt return by KC in the first half had a Chief riding the back of a Texan for at least five yards while the return man ran right past them and no flag came out.

If we get the PI call in the end zone and then convert it, maybe then we don't go for it on 4th-and-1 in the third quarter and kick the FG. Results: The 7 points we wound up losing by.

The Chiefs were clearly the better team today however and the defensive break downs by Houston were the big difference. Romeo clearly has some more work to do.

I'm glad HBO didn't have OB mic'ed up this week or we would have watched a non-stop blue streak during the first half that even HBO might have needed to bleep. How did this man stop cursing long enough for McNair to give him the job?

BTW, thanks again Arky for the play-by-play.
