don't be so sure of that, this isn't the same Texans of the Capers/Carr/Casserly years--------the give'me games are over--especially with Schaub in at QB, its not a definite win but its not a guarenteed loss either

As I said already, Panthers ar the best team in the league

they'll get their chance to prove it next week. I find it funny that there was talk of Fox being on the hot seat last year, he's like Jeff Fischer in that he seems to be a coach that's going to continue to put a winner on the field year-in and year-out. They'd be smart to hold onto the dude even they have the rocky season every now and then

how do you approach that as a coaching staff?? There's a lot on the line with the homefield advantage but at the same time you don't wanna throw too much out there as you very well might face the same team for even bigger stakes in just a couple of weeks.

I'd think the main goal would be to get the bye and homefield, so a coach basically has to go balls to the wall and have no fear. Playoff games at home are too important to worry about injuries. Injuries will happen regardless, I don't see coaches worrying about that. They're mindset should be on homefield. All four of these guys are tops in the coaching department, especially Fox and Fisher. They'll be ready for a war next week to improve their rankings for the playoffs.

I guess you missed when Kareem McKenzie the Right Tackle went down. Ware started coming off the right end when he did, creating mad havoc on the backup and thus making it a free for all on the rest of the O-Line when we needed to put a tackle on Ware to help Booth. Was a tough day for the O-Line before that, but a lot of sacks came once Booth jumped in the game for McKenzie. Like I said McKenzie better be okay or we're in trouble at that right tackle spot.

Giants didn't run the ball effectively either, which had the Girlz foaming at the mouth for Eli.

Also, I thought the Girlz did a great job in beating our blitzes with short passes and dump offs. That reaaaally slowed down our rush for the end of the game, they had us tired as fuck I could see.

I tip my hat to the Girlz for them playing some of their best football in..forever. They play like they have been the past few weeks and we'll really see the Cowgirlz everyone wants in the Super Bowl. Either way, we'll see ya'll in the playoffs...I got a feeling it'll be Dallas / New York in that Divisional Round once again. Atleast this time we're tied up. It's tough beating a team 3 times in a season.

It's gonna be tough, G-Men are playing uninspired football. Panthers are fast on both sides of the ball, I think they may be a little better defensively than Dallas or Philly, which is scary to think. Steve Smith and those two RBs are going to give us fits. We need to start opening things up downfield, especially if Jacobs is hurting. Eli's got the arm, more than 1 reciever has the speed...let's start chucking the damn ball on these secondaries and see what happens. Because these D'z are starting to focus on our running attack.

the steelers have the best defense in the league. nobody is even close. sometimes that's more important than having the best team. just like when the ravens won the superbowl, your offense doesn't have to win you the game, they just can't lose it for you.

It you look at the stats there's actually atleast two teams that are very close (Titans and Ravens) so they're actually not alone but you're right about the D in the playoffs.

The Titans are gonna have a hell of a hard time without Haynesworth in the mddle. They better hope he's healthy for the playoffs or they're really in trouble.

Bullshit! They are great, but to say the Titans, and Ravens arent close, is just a homer statement.

Haynesworth, and Vandenbosch are supposed to be back for the playoffs. We are certainly a different defense without big Al.

Could'nt agree more. Congrats on the win by the way. I know it meant a lot to the Texans.
