Texans demolished the Panthers in a game that was not as close as the final score, 34-21, indicates. The game sounded an alarm that the Texans have finally arrived. It also sounds the alarm that the bandwagoners have jumped on with full force. The game started out about as bad as it could have. Texans down 14-0 before you knew it. Then, the Texans decided to stop playing around and scored 34 unanswered points! 34 unanswered points on another NFL team is just about impossible to do because of the talent in the league, but the Texans did it. I can't say enough about the TEAM effort out there, because everyone contributed to the win.
Even the elusive pass rush that I have been waiting to see in 5 years was there agains the Panthers. They hurried Delhomme and sacked him twice. This is while Matt Schaub didn't even dirty his uniform in the game. The run defense was just as stellar as last week, but the secondary still remains as a question mark. I know Faggins is an original Texan and is a great guy, but he has no business covering an elite QB like Steve Smith. Faggins doesn't have the speed or the football IQ. He is a nickel corner at best, but that is the hand we are dealt until Bennet is ready to come in and take his place.
Sorry to say it, Texans fans, but I have the Colts game as a loss on my "road to 10-6". They might surprise me and win, but at this point, I predicting a loss. Today's news of Andre Johnson being hurt and doubtful for the game kind of cements the chances of a loss. I hope I am wrong and even if we lose, it will give the rookie Jacobi Jones a chance to get some action. It is better to lose AJ for a couple of games than try to play him and lose him for an entire season.
