Pick up the pace

I was thinking about the game last night and wanted to ask the community to get a consensus.

Does the coaching staff, Matt Schaub and the Texans offense play as well as they did in the 2nd half, and score as much as they did last night if the Ravens were held to 14 points total?

What I am asking is, was that display of offensive glory a product of being down by 14 or 20? Do you feel we win this game holding the Ravens to 14, or do you feel that we would play down to a lower scoring game?

If you dont want to answer the question please leave this thread.

I think without a doubt we win the game if we hold the Ravens to 14. I think if Owen Daniels doesn't have the worst game of his career and drop all those balls, those first half drives turn into touchdowns. Then its tied 21-21 at the half. The offense started slow in the first half yes but Schaub got it rolling and the receivers and tight ends didn't pull their weight. Between Jacoby, Owen and Dreessen I think there were 10 first half drops. That's a difference between scoring 7 points in the first half instead of 21.

I am not really sure...On one hand, I think the Texans would have eventually got something together if that were the case...

On the other hand, I think that if the Ravens stayed focused the entire time we sould have been hard pressed to score points throughout the entire game...

We have seen the Texans offense struggle all game against a good defensive unit in the Giants, so it's not like they aren't capable of just sucking throughout the game...
