Cost the Texans 45 yards of penalties by playing his style of great defense. LOL

And yet, the team still gave him the game ball after the game in a losing effort. He played so good against the Colts.

Did ya'll hear when they were talking how the Falcons had to get there silent counts ready to go into monday night football against the saints, because they got a dose of it from the texans a few weeks back...

That's a real shame the Texans lost their chance to get a first-round bye and homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. That will be something to aim for next season with a healthy team in tact. If Schaub, Andre and Mario don't go down this year, who knows, this may have been a 14-2 team. The schedule was certainly favorable to do some big things if they had all their superstars on the field. But at least we'll get a preview of that electric Reliant Stadium crowd in a couple of weekends.

People say Reliant Stadium was at its loudest for that Falcons game a few weeks ago (resembling a small earthquake in Houston), but I still think that opening game against the Cowboys back in 2002 was a few notches louder. Super Bowl 38 between the Patriots and Panthers back in 2004 was also loud but not in the neighborhood of the games against the Falcons and Cowboys.

I can't wait to see them hosting that wild-card game against the Bengals, Jets, Titans or Raiders (whichever it turns out to be). First playoff game at home with the retractable roof closed. This has potential to be one of the loudest NFL games ever played in Houston.

I'm hoping the game is played on Saturday afternoon or even on Saturday Night (primetime TV) and not early Sunday morning which is usually the snooze game of the wild-card round. More people sleep through that early Sunday game. Depends on the NFL playoff scheduling. Houston will likely get shafted as usual -- getting the worst time slot of the four wild-card games.

Pretty deep draft. They'll get somebody good but I already know who you want. A certain WR out of Oklahoma State!!!!

Who I personally want is a certain CB out of LSU :)

but I wouldn't turn down Blackmon.

I actually wouldn't mind if we traded back and picked up some more picks either.

my Ideal off season/draft is... Draft Claiborne in the 1st, Draft Kendall Wright in the 2nd and bring in 2 FA WRs in the off season. Vincent Jackson and Stevie Johnson would make me :drool: , but I would also like Stevie Johnson and say, Robert Meachem.

The AFC South will be much better next season. All four teams have great talent on defense. It will be like the AFC North was this year. All four of their teams were in the top 10 defensive rankings this season (yards per game), two of them in the top 5.

Looking at the top 5 defenses right now. 1. Steelers, 2. Texans, 3. Ravens, 4. 49ers and 5. Jaguars (Bengals 6 and Browns 10)

Titans (17) and Colts (27) both sucked on defense this season but their talent level is much better than that.

I hope that Houston thinks about selecting a wide receiver in the late part of round one or round two (high pick). Time to focus on that position. They could also go after a stud nose tackle or cornerback because Kareem Jackson has to go. He's so horrible and I can't stand watching him play anymore. How he is starting games is beyond me.

Just imagine how good our Defense would be if we didn't have so many injuries.

We have played about, at least 80 different people on this team, this season.

The Jaguars have a good team if they get their offensive problems together. They beat the Ravens on national TV this year. That defense is one of the best in the NFL when healthy. It will be among the NFL's elite next year.

All Houston needs is another good cornerback on the opposite side of Johnathan Joseph (replacing Kareem Jackson as starter) and a healthy Mario Williams, assuming they re-sign him this off-season, and their defense could be a dominating force next season.

The offense is what I'm worried about the most. Andre Johnson is always injured and no other wideout on the roster is explosive enough to make the big plays downfield. There is little depth at offensive guard. Mike Brisiel got hurt and Antoine Caldwell has gotten manhandled by the Colts and Panthers the last two games. He's not a starting right guard - starting to think he's a bust already. I hope Brisiel is ready for the playoffs (looking doubtful).

And oh yeah, make sure they bring in a legitimate backup quarterback. Make a run at Vince Young in free agency if the dollars are right. Bring the hometown kid back. He only signed a one year deal with the Eagles. Matt Leinart "Matty Checkdown" absolutely sucks (i'd release him). Texans were dumb to give him a two-year deal but it's not a big cap hit to let him go early, and T.J. Yates is making 5th-round rookie money. He can be kept as a third-string QB next season.
