Well, yeah. The Texans were sleepwalking for the most part in the first half. I knew the bottom was falling out when you get scored on in less than 15 seconds. Even more so when the Chargers were piling on the points. Almost as if the San Diego Chargers were playing Sam Houston State rather than the Houston Texans. Gary Kubiak must have said something like... "if the Denver Broncos could come back from 21+ and beat the San Diego Chargers, we can too!" I think Denver's comeback was better than our comeback, but thank goodness the Texans man'd up and got the win. However you win- just win, baby! Numbers on Matt Schaub: 34-45, 346 yds, 3 TDs, 1 INT. Philip Rivers didn't do bad himself: 14-29, 195 yds, 4 TDs, 1 INT.
My only recommendation... no more 10:00 PM Eastern games for the Texans!
Elsewhere...
* You know, I was rather impressed by T. Pryor's performance under center for Oakland. They did pretty well despite losing at Indianapolis. I was actually pulling for Oakland just so the Texans could have a little cushion early on among AFC South teams.
* I was surprised at the Jets' comeback win. A big break late in the game was that late hit Personal Foul on Tampa Bay. NYJ could have played dead and just move on to the next one. But, they held strong and won.
* 23-10 in Cleveland as the Miami Dolphins start out 1-0. I can understand winning and not feeling too happy about certain aspects, but I don't really know what to complain about when you win by 13 at Cleveland.
* I only saw a good bit of the first quarter of PHI at WAS. It was very fun watching the fast-paced play of Philadelphia. It was just too bad that opening PHI drive ended up in WAS' hands en route to a touchdown. It was basically fast-paced offense... all for nothing. PHI still won the game 33-27.
16 teams started 1-0; 16 others are starting 0-1. Game 1 doesn't make a season, but you can still make the most of this season to prove yourself as the teams worthy enough to play for the Vince Lombardi Trophy. It's just one game. 15 remain. So keep battling!
Any more thoughts on the season so far?
