Kurt Warner has 262 yards passing in the first half.  With no pass rush from the Texans he's sitting back there just slicing and dicing the Texans secondary.

The Cardinals have 297 total yards at halftime.  Ridiculous.

Hilarious analysis:  Rich Gannon saying on the Texans second drive that Matt Schaub needs to pull the ball down and run more.  I guess Rich isn't aware that Schaub  can't outrun a 300 lb. lineman and that he sprains ankles running out of bounds untouched.

The Texans offense looks something between frantic and incompetent.   The offensive line can't block anyone.  The team appears to be on life support after giving us false hopes with that 2-2 record.

Huge play by the defense at 2:30 in the first quarter.  Glover Quin and Eugene Wilson combined for a nice hit and forced fumble which DeMeco returned to put the Texans in good field position.

Steve Slaton ran well on the ensuing drive but Schaub couldn't find anything downfield.  A Kris Brown FG attempt ended up being blocked.  When you have a 1st and 10 at the opponents 21 yard line and come away empty, that's not good when you're on the road.

Quin continues to impress with a nice tackle of Hightower to force an Arizona three and out.

Chris White was seen in the game for Kasey Studdard in the early 2nd.  Performance or injury for Studdard?  I'm guessing performance. 

The Texans defense started to recover a bit during the second quarter but with the way the Texans offense played, or how they didn't, it's only a matter of time before things start to get out of hand.

Ian Eagle called Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie "Cromartie-Rogers."  When you're a network play by play guy that's supposed to follow the league, you don't make that mistake.  Maurice Drew-Jones seconds that motion.

Will the Texans to continue to embarrass themselves in the second half?  I'll take the over.
