It's F'ing Houston week!

I think our offense will play much better this Sunday, in fact it wouldn't shock me if we led in TOP. Texans have a good Pass Rush but their overall D is nothing like Dallas. Houstons secondary is very avg. I also say our D plays at a high level once again, those guys will be fired up to shut down another good Offense..

I think all week one games can be misread a bit.

First, you're not working with much game film, so you're not as prepared defensively to see what they'll thow at you. And from a conditioning perspective, some players are still transitioning from training camp to regular season. Case and point, Jamal Brown is still getting into football shape.

I think we'll be fine. Foster might get his, but I think our defense is better than the Colts anyway.

Look for the Texans to go to the air alot more against our soft zones. My guess is that we will win a close game by a field goal. I'm a little drunk right now, so I dont have any business posting, but I did it anyways! HOUSTON... SUCK MY JAGON!

Maybe McNabb will put on a performance to rival that of Marc Brunell the last time we played the Texans. A record 22 consecutive complations, a record since tied by David Carr. j/k.....I don't really expect that kind of performance on Sunday, but I do want to see more sustained offense against a team capable of scoring points. We're not going to win a lot of games scoring 13 points, so the offense must begin to show improvement and I think they will.

I think it'd be great if our defense randomly spit out lines from this classic

I miss you like the sun rise
by Arian Foster

I miss you like the sun rise
Winter nights became reality's home,
Snow men stand here like soldiers of Rome,
My tears freeze before they kiss the wind,
I think of warmth and miss you then,
Since when when did rose petals crack While pondering love,
Dressed in pitch black with this sombering sun,
I sit an fish, out of the river Styx,
Catching cold souls with their quivered lips,
They whisper sweet like lemons drip,
And gaze my eyes like Medusa's gift,
My bait is smiles.
Unhook me, look me not into dusk,
Ease my cuts, and release my lust,
Inhale my words, and breathe my wants,
Let the light marry my eyes,
And let the same inherit the skies.
I miss you like the sun rise.

Good points from everyone.

I am very excited to see TW vs Mario. Nice follow up to Ware for the rookie.

Also excited to see Hall vs Johnson. If Hall can slow him down enough I think we'll be able to focus on stopping the run more.

And to add to the Shanahan/Kubiak connection, we shouldn't forget that Kubiak cut his teeth in this league under Mike Shanahan as a player and coach. It's the classic teacher vs. pupil this week.

We will give up yards to the Houston offense - that's a given. It's whether we will give up points that is the better question. Dallas gashed our defense with 380 yards of offense but the defense stepped up when it mattered so I think they will do the same.

I think Arian Foster will do pretty well against us b/c we could not stop Dallas' run game to save our life and Andre Johnson will have a good game as well b/c Doughty is too slow and neither Hall, nor Rogers is good enough to cover him.

That being said, the Dallas defense is way, way better than Houston's defense so I am looking for the offense to show up a little more this week. I think we may actually have a relatively high scoring game with each team breaking 25 points each.

Why the hell is everyone saying Dallas ran all over us? They racked up 103 yards which was ranked 17th last week and we where ranked 20th. As bad as our running game was Dallas was not that much better and they did not run all over us.

WOW I was just looking up how many yards Dallas ran on us and noticed that LL had 17 tackles. I knew he had a good game but dammmmmmmm thats alot. If he stays on that pace he will be well over 200 for the year.

They averaged 5 yards a pop, while I don't think they "ran all over us" but still, the run D needs to be tightened up.
