the bills dline were in the backfield in about every running play in the 2nd half(they were ranked last in rushing defense, bears are #1). if they continue to play like that, ben tate nor foster isnt going to do much on the ground. schaub may have to air it out in this one.

This was the second worst game the Texans played this season despite winning 21-9. They usually respond well after a bad game. I don't mind if Schaub has to air it out against Chicago. Hopefully Andre Johnson can continue to play well. He had some nice separation today even though he didn't score a Touchdown.



He's got to keep turning back the hands of time, playing like he did two, three, four years ago. He's slowly starting to play like a beast again this season.

the win against the jets was a bad game as well, and we got demolished by the packers the next week. hopefully it wont be deja vu...

I feel as long as Matt schaub can manage as he has all season, and not throw int against the bears their is a good chance we could win. Of course the bears defense is prettty scary specially after watching them against the titans today. and they have what a pick six in all the games this year or something like that and 2 pick six in back to back games that is crazy, but if we can get foster, and tate/forsett going somewhat early then hopefully we can do some PA and spread the ball around.

I have confident that we can play against their offense with our defense, but it will be a great game


I am hoping they really get the penalty situation they had today under control. We really need a good showing on Sunday Night Football next week... A win would be best of course, but if we go and get worked again like we did against the packers. there still will be a lot of unanswered questions about the texans.

Our defense is so much better than what the Bears are used to playing; if we can pressure Jay Cutler, he'll make a lot of bad decisions that hopefully our defense can capitalize off of.

I think we win this game by 10 points and send a message that at least a few teams in the AFC are for real.

e\ and I said at the beginning of the season I think we're going to play the Bears in the SB, and there's still a damn good chance of it.

The Texans usually respond and play well after a bad game so in some sense today's sloppy showing was a good thing. And everybody in the national media will be picking the Bears to win on Sunday Night while calling the Texans overrated. Saying all of this junk about Houston not being able to beat any good teams especially from the NFC.

The Texans will go into Soldier Field on national TV with a lot to prove on Sunday Night. This is not just a statement game but a must-win game for Houston if they expect to earn any real respect around the league. If the Texans lose to the Bears then it's back to the drawing board. We'll be seen as just a good team but not an elite one. Although it's still nice to be undefeated in the AFC. That's all that really matters in the quest for the 1st seed come playoff time.

Ya you are right... i didnt know their schedule, but i did look just now. And Green bay is the only team that really is good is the packers, and they lost to them.

If the Texans can beat the Bears on the road, a battle of two 7-1 teams, the loss to Green Bay will be forgotten. Nobody will bring it up unless they meet in the Super Bowl.
