I wouldn't be surprised

The Texans do have two things working for them: It may be their fifth game, but they already have nothing to lose with the way their season is heading; secondly, they despise us and are one of those odd teams that would like to go 1-15 so long as they beat a certain team.

But the bottom line is they are absolutely a much, much worse team than the Cowboys. A loss to the lowly Texans and we might as well go ahead and begin planning for the draft, because we're done. Good teams don't lose these games to go 2-3 early in the season. I can't imagine losing this and somehow going 8-3 the rest of the way.

Well spoken Dale. We need to take care of business at home and today's picture will brighten considerably. The Cowboys are a hard team to figure out right now. Are we good or not? We have problem areas. Can we solve them? Beating the Texans will be reassuring and then we can face another team that is hard to figure out.

One bright spot for me is that we are pretty much injury free right now.

Bledsoe and Watkins were the only 2 that looked demoralized... the rest of them were fighting thru the end.

At least Watkins is a rookie and he could have used a little help from Roy on the flea flicker which was interceptable.

This Bledsoe thing is becoming very Testaverde like. Some fans are starting to wish for a loss and or bad performance by Bledsoe to get him out of there.

Puh-freaking-lease.

We lost a tough road game against an opponent who played very disruptive D. Some of you need to sit back, stop posting and watch a few seasons of football before you come back.

That same disruptive D was held in check last year by a less talented Dallas Oline. Bledsoe is making uncalled for mistakes with aplomb this season. How did he start out against Titans last week? Why he threw an interception in the very first series, oh well...

Chucking the ball into the stands without a thought about intentional grounding. Holding on to the ball too long and taking a sack a mile behind your line instead of throwing it away. Underthrowing to an available receiver and negating a sure touchdown under miminal pressure. There were bad plays he lucked out on also. He very well could have had a few more interceptions and at least another fumble had we not recovered the ball.

How about when he got out of the pocket jogged upfield and surveyed for receivers for what appeared to be a week, then got whacked from behind by the defender and lost the ball. We were lucky to recover it.

In my opinion he had a worse day than Quincy Carter did several years ago against Arizona. And Bledsoe played worse against the Eagles than he did against the Jaguars, which was abysmal to say the least.

I agree it wasn't all on him. The Oline and our defense is culpable. Nevertheless he is an experienced veteran.

Good comment. I don't want Bledsoe to win it himself, but I really want him to make fewer mistakes. It's easy to say...and hard to do.

If the texans come out swinging. We are a beaten team right now. we are a 500 team, with one more win the the texans. I don't see that game as a push over at all. throw in the mix that we have a really bad QB and it could get ugly.

I hear and feel your frustration but if the Texans come out swinging we are good enough to swing and hit back so I disagree there.

As far as being a beaten team... I dont think so... we are team that was in position to be 4-0 at this point(and dont think BP doesnt feel that way too, regardless of his "you are what your record says you are" line) so instead we are 2-2 (saints are 4-1) whooda thunk it?

You say we are a .500 team? well it depends how you look at it. We are 2-2 with the 2 wins coming against horrible teams and the losses against good team. So is it that we should be 4-0 by beating some good teams and beatimg the teams we should beat? or is that we are a sub 500 team because we are winless against good teams and beat 2 bad teams?

We are .000 against good teams NOT .500
