We're 7th overall in YPA when rushing while also only 30th overall in attempts-per-game. That's ridiculous. The Texans also allow 182 YPG, so if we walk away from this game with less than 25-30 carries total then I bet we lose.

I agree with what you are saying.  We do get behind quickly in most games, but we abandon the run too soon.  I take our inflated offensive stats with a grain of salt because a lot of it has to do with garbage time yards and points from defenses playing us soft.  I agree that the way to beat Houston is to run the ball, limit their time of possession, and take our shots when they start overplaying the run.  That is part of the reason I think this will be a lower scoring game than most people believe.  But I still do not think we have enough talent to keep it within a one score game.
