I would like to personally thank the Texans for giving us a bye.
I would so love for the Texans to beat the Bengals on Saturday and then pull off an epic and satisfying, probably one for the ages, monumental upset at New England next weekend. But we just don't have the playcalling on offense. Bill Belichick is a mastermind and Gary Kubiak is nowhere near his level as a head coach. Even if the talent was equal there is a big difference in coaching.
With Kubiak as head coach, we've been trounced at Foxboro both times playing there (40-7 in 2006 and 42-14 in 2012). But I can only hope we make it back there next weekend. Hopefully they can play a much closer game the third time around in 2013. Since it's the playoffs you figure the Texans will at least play hard.
The sad thing is, the winner of the Texans and Bengals game isn't going to be taken seriously in the divisional round. They'll be double-digit underdogs. Bengals will get spanked at Denver and we will likely get spanked at New England. But oh well, that's why they play the games... You never know, anything can happen.
