How 'Bout Those Texans?

Yeah, yeah I know we've only just completed the first two weekends of the 2007 NFL season, but my Texans are 2-0 for the first time in franchise history after beating KC 20-3 and Carolina 34-21 yesterday.

I'll get a better idea of just how good my Texans really are when they play Indianapolis in Reliant next week.

I was already enjoying this season before it started when they beat the Cowchips in the annual Governor's Cup preseason game. Will this be the year my team finally makes it to the NFL playoffs? Have they finally put the pieces together and built an NFL team that will not only consistently win, but be in the mix in postseason play?

We longsuffering Houston fans can only hope that our patience has finally been rewarded. We hope that this is the beginning of sustained success and we'll get to not only see our team in postseason play, but back on nationally televised games as well. Only time will tell if this Texans team has the right stuff to do that.

It would also be a nice story for the hometown boy (Gary Kubiak) and one of the African-American GM's in the NFL (Rick Smith) to have their hard work rewarded with a long playoff run.
