I'll be watching both games on CBS and Fox, and then watch Black Jesus destroy the G-men.

And then Leinart leads the Texans to the Super Bowl and Schaub comes back for the SB.

Forgot to put in that they're playing the Eagles for the SB, with VY at the helm as he's undefeated for the season, and turn the iggles season around.

ryan you think we should try to get a qb next year? dont have to start right away, just let schaub start one more year or two, and develop our new franchise qb.

Texans will not have a lot of weaknesses entering the next draft. Even their depth is pretty solid at most positions. They could probably afford to draft a young Quarterback at the end of the first or second round. It wouldn't be a bad idea. Houston is going to be loaded for a Super Bowl run next year. For this season it's important they keep it going and ride the momentum. They've been doing a great job overcoming all the injuries.

Matt Schaub was officially put on IR this morning and the Texans signed Kellen Clemens. So basically the depth chart at QB is now Matt Leinart, T.J. Yates and Kellen Clemens.

The good news: Andre Johnson and Danieal Manning both returned to practice and are ready to play this Sunday versus Jacksonvlle. When both of them went down it looked like season-ending injuries. It's pretty amazing that both of them returned so quickly.

Also Titans quarterback Matt Hasselbeck proclaimed he was the best healthy quarterback in the AFC South, which may be true, but he still thinks the 5-5 Titans have a good chance to overtake the 7-3 Texans and win the AFC South. Hasselbeck is running his mouth but he must have forgotten the Titans still have some tough games left. He should win his games first and then talk.

Third time that Albert Haynesworth has injured Matt Schaub. Did you see his recent comments?

Haynesworth recalls play that injured Schaub

Texans quarterback Matt Schaub can blame Albert Haynesworth for ending his 2011 season. In his first game with the Buccaneers on Nov. 13, the beefy defensive tackle landed on Schaub’s foot. Schaub was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday.

With the Titans, Haynesworth injured Schaub at least twice when he tackled him. On Wednesday, in a conference call with Tennessee reporters, Haynesworth said: “You know me, I love to hit Schaub.”

Asked about landing on Schaub’s foot, Haynesworth had no trouble recalling the play: “It was on the goal-line. He actually screamed like normal in the pile.”

Albert Haynesworth used to be an All Pro and the best player at his position when he played for the Titans. Now he's just an embarrassment to the game. This is the same guy that talked about karma in the past. If he tears his ACL in Tampa's next game I won't feel bad at all for him.

Andre Johnson returns after missing 6 games

Andre Johnson said he's 100 % on the Thursday Texans show earlier this afternoon. I can't wait to see him play on Sunday.


Matt Leinart's first career start with the Texans

Start the Matt Leinart era in style, with a big win. Texans can reach 8-3 on Sunday. Get it done!!!!!

Jaguars beat the Ravens at home so you can't take them lightly in their stadium. But I'm confident the Texans take care of business.

At least the Texans won 20-13. They were out-scored 3-0 in the second half. The offense with T.J. Yates had trouble moving the ball in the second half. Eleven straight third-down conversions they failed to convert. It was just one of those ugly wins. At least the defense made enough big plays to pull it out.

Connor Barwin with 4 sacks!!! A new Houston Texans record for most sacks a game. He nearly had a 5th sack in the game. J.J. Watt added 2 sacks and Brooks Reed had 1. Johnathan Joseph had a nice interception and played a good game. Last year the Texans would have lost a game like this because the defense wouldn't have played this well.

Bottom Line: 8-3 and 5 wins in a row for the first time in franchise history. 4-0 division record. We should all be happy with that.

But now the quarterback situation is up in limbo. Leinart had a cast around his arm and shoulder at the end of the game. No idea how long he'll be out but I'm already expecting the worse. T.J. Yates doesn't have long to prepare for the Falcons if he is to remain the starter. Kellen Clemens is the only other option but Houston will likely sign another veteran (Jeff Garcia? Time to give Brett Favre a ring?) if Leinart has to be put on IR.

Houston still has a lot of work to do if they want to clinch the AFC South. 8-3 and two games ahead of the 6-5 Titans. Five games is a lot of time and anything can happen. Houston will likely be a small underdog at home against Atlanta next Sunday. This is going to be a good test against a good team.

LOL, but right now. I have no clue who will be starting at quarterback for the Texans against Atlanta.
