we had Seattle beat until Schaub choked and Cush got hurt (who had contained Wilson all day) Also beat Locker (Tenn)

In non-Texans news, Ed Reed is starting for the Jets today. I predict he has at least one interception. Of course he already more than likely knows their while defense after playing under Rex Ryan for years...
But Wilson's mobility was a huge reason why they couldn't contain the lead. Locker is simply not a good enough QB to be considered an "elite" mobile QB.
texans were lucky to beat tenn, but the point still stands texans struggle againist mobile qb's, remmeber when pryor missed the redskins game, and flynn came in... texans will actually have an easier time today( and should get their first win a while)
you clearly didn't watch the game. Cushing bottled up Wilson all day, then Cush got hurt and Wilson magically had a couple runs.
Looks like new grass installed... not sure why they waited till all their national TV games were finished to do so.

I was at the game. Yes, Cushing being out was a huge loss... but Wilson is a talented player that relied on more than "magic" to beat the Texans.
