The Houston Texans are marketing the next four home games in the newspaper and online as "Texans Oktoberfest." When I first saw the Texans most road September schedule and home October schedule, I thought it might be a little rough on the team, and to tailgaters' livers.
Well, my first prediction on the tough early schedule came true, with the 0-3 start, complicated with the Hurricane Ike bye week. The health status of tailgaters' livers is up in the air. The re-arranged hurricane results in four home games in a row, so I'm guessing fans better pace themselves in the parking lots.
Typically, under Gary Kubiak, the Texans have played much better at home than on the road. They were 6-2 at home last year, and generally, as I point out in my new Houston Chronicle Texans Chick blog, have had their least competitive games on the road. Even with the Colts nicked up, this next game should be a significant challenge for the Texans given that they have only won a single game against them in their history.

It sure is nice to have some home games, especially after the Sucktember we just had.
It is still hard to watch this defense, or lack of defense as it were. Good to see the offense come alive. Need this win badly. My young son has started cussing again. He had been doing so well since the Peter King diss
