Yeah, I was going to say, Brunell had all day to throw. Apparently the Texans coaches didn't watch much film from the Dallas game. He was rarely under duress. I give credit to Saunders as well, he really had the D off balance, threw on 1st down, called for quick passes, (which would have helped against Dallas) and designed plays for Brunell to get the ball out of his hands as quickly as possible.

Call it "hating" if you want, but Mark clealy got a bug up his ass this week with all the talk of being too old and washed up. He was bound and determined to shut some people the hell up. Let's just say, he got exactly the right opponent to help with that.

Still, here's some credit where credit is due, against a bad team or not, it was the most accurate performance he's ever given. Now let's see how he does against a ferocious Jaguar D. That could turn out to be the story of the season: He's brilliant against inferior opponents, but ineffective to downright atrocious against equal or better talent.
