Texans kickoff - pooch kick. Jags takeover at their 37. Still 2:04 left in the game.

Final score:

Texans 30, Jags 17

----------

1st division win.

5-7 somehow doesn't sound all that bad.

Nice job by the defense (!?!?)

On to Green Bay and give the Packers the thrashing they so richly deserve....

I tell you what...Del Rio looked liked someone told him his wife was sleeping with the team.

Nice win but I felt the Texans had all the motivation here. The Jags have pretty much written off their season while the Texans still think their season goals may be within reach. Plus, they haven't been in a National TV game in a long time (if you don't count NFL Network as "national") and had that motivation.

It's always fun reminding the Gags that they are our designated bitch. However, I felt for 90% of the game that we were letting them hang around and that they might just steal it with a couple of quick touchdowns at the end.

Why was it that, with Mathis out for the second half, Kubiak didn't pound the ball to AJ? The Slaton runs were nice but we are going to really regret overworking the guy if we aren't careful. J-Ville had nobody who could stay with Johnson and we should have exploited that.

Nice to know that Mario is a prime time player. The guy seems to get up for night games.

I thought the ESPN crew did okay other than the whole Drew Rosenmouth interview at halftime. Kornhole said the Texans looked like ketchup bottles which shows you where his mind is. Although, I tend to agree that the all-battle-red unis are almost as ugly as the all-blue unis. Just stick to the white pants, okay?

And please fire the guy who put the end zone pylon in the wrong spot. I mean, jeez, way to make us all look like a bunch of rubes who don't even know where the end zone is. How could nobody notice this before kickoff? That's just inexcusable.

I'm almost certain that if we had an accurate throwin QB, AJ would've had a monster game.

I thought ESPN gave us a "fair & balanced" report on the game and the teams status in its 7th year.
I've never liked Kornhole on MNF, mainly because he dosen't know squat about football and more significantly I suspect he doesn't even like football.
I knew Howard Cosell and no matter how hard Kornheiser trys he's no HC, even though he does a pretty good job of being a really sarcastic, obnoxious Jewish guy from New York. And on that note, Kornheiser was his most sarcastic when he said the Texans looked like "bottles of ketchup", looked silly in their solid red unis. Problem is I gotta agree with Kornhole, I always thought they looked really silly to. But Kornheiser gave it up for the organization when he said that their decision to take Mario over VY & Bush
now looks really smart and admitted he and everyone else was wrong in their initial take of the Texans 2006 Draft.
And Jaws complimented many of the Texans players including Mario, AJ, and our rookie back. Plus he also said the crowd didn't act like the fans of a
4-7 team, so I gather they were loud and rambunctious in spite of their well known behavior of arriving late for the kickoff.
