And that difference is the passing game. The Texans have a nicely balanced Offense. The Vikings do not. And that’s a critical difference in this game.

Plus, if the Colts can stop Peterson in the 2nd half and win the game, I think the Titans can, too. I mean, the Jags rushing attack MAULED them.

Slaton had 104 yards in the first half / 13 in the second half

On one run he had 80T and if you look Bullock was held completely …. It suck’s that these garbage numbers get factored into our avg. but if you look at what we have done to top rushers over the years – see LT 21 for 41 yards in wild card game … when Swartz devises schemes for a strict running offense it is not even fair when you have guys like Griffin and Hope in the box along with our D-line and backers …. not to mention potentially the most mobile strong side backer in the game in Keith Bullock – very under recognized.

Furthermore, when you’re set up for a runner like Ahman Green and they throw a quick guy like Slaton , you’re defense is going to have to adjust – and 13 yards in the second half is a testament to the resilience of our D.

Guys – I gotta tell ya , I have been studying the tapes from the last half of yesterday’s game and I am pretty dang excited. Remember when Haynesworth jumped the line of scrimmage at last years Atlanta game on that 4th and one – we did it as a unit 4 of 6 times yesterday – there are very … VERY few defenses who can stop a 4th and 1 let alone several times.

If I could say one thing about the game on the negative point of view it is this – I understand who we are as a football team and I have always been a fan of Fish’s clock management skills – but there were some oppertunities yesterday to shut down the game with a couple of first downs and like Jimmy said – 1 pass in the second half …. apart from KC’s first pass of the game he looked very accurate , especially in 4-8 yard routes ….. also – that back shoulder timing play that worked with Chris Davis and Mccarens is MONEY – side note – Mccarens HAS to be the slowest receiver in the league …. very frustrating.

One last note before going back to work – that game needs to go under review with the league – there were SEVERAL … SEVERAL horrrrrrible calls by the officiating crew – the pass to Mccarens was obviously not in bounds – the false start by the fullback was HORRENDOUS – and the late hit by Vinny Fuller or Nickey – either way WAS INSANE …. now those were just three calls that I Caught with my naked eye – under review this has to send them home when the playoffs come around – YOU SUCK JEROME BOOOOGER ..
