Fumbles, INTs, mental lapses...... those are the real enemies here.

Those things keep my worry level very high

The chances of those things increase as we get into shootouts.

I think Kubiak is intentionally clamping down this offense because of that.

purely unfounded speculation on my part.

I'm not so much worried about the Buccs as I am worried about us. The only way we lose is if we beat ourselves. We're moving into territory new for this club.

We need to come out and pound the ball on offense. And on defense, we're going to get a bigger test than we've gotten in the past 3 weeks.

Let's see how far this defense has progressed.

30-20, Texans.

This is a game I think we should win by a score of 30-20, but with the Bucs scoring a TD in garbage time to mae the score look respectable.

However, it does feel like a trap game.
I really hate for it to be a nail biter; let's hope that doesn't happen.

When the Texans start winning those nail biters and not because of crushing them in the first half and then crusing the rest of the game, we'll know the Texans have truely arrived.

Josh Freeman has been very very unimpressive this year too. So has their wide outs and Winslow is having a snoozer of a year as well. I don't like the creativity of their offensive scheme....I think they will buckle under pressure this weekend. I don't see the Texans losing this one.

7-3. Early, late, and current thought. Hows about that.
