I don't enjoy a lot of the stuff i read about the texans throughout the offseason, but this article was pretty good!!!

I think we can go a perfect 8-0 at home and 7-1 on the road. 15-1 record but maybe 14-2 if we lost at Indianapolis again (0-11 all time).
But we're due to finally beat the Colts on the road. Long overdue to say the least. LOL

15-1 is reasonable if the team stays healthy and hungry all season long.
But I think it's better to go 11-5 or 10-6, face some adversity, and heat up come playoff time.
The only game I think we're for sure going to lose is at San Francisco.

you don't play the packers again, so you should be fine

Texans were 11-1 last season, best record in the NFL going into the final four games, but everybody knew they weren't that good on defense without Brian Cushing. They lost three out of their last four games to finish 12-4. I could see them doing just as well this season even though they play a tougher schedule. A lot of their tough games are at home.

regular season wins are nice when determining playoff seeds but i'd still take a 10-6 season and a SB championship again. its always nice to dominate the regular season but i don't hear any packer fans talking positively about our 15-1 season... i do, however hear a lot of feedback about our 10-6 season

Oh, I agree. Ravens, Packers, Giants, nearly the Cardinals (blew a late 4th quarter lead against Pittsburgh), all won the Super Bowl despite being in danger of missing the playoffs entirely entering the final month of the season with a very average record. You can make a case it's better to finish 11-5, 10-6, even 9-7, and as long as you make the playoffs and are red hot that's all that matters.

last line is so true. so many teams had such a regular season but a poor postseason. Bronchos and Texans come to mind. No offense, but i actually napped through most of the Bengals/Texans game. was a real snoozefest that was basically just the shayne graham show

The last 8 or 9 games the Texans played (including the two playoff games). I thought they were playing some of the worst football in the league. They were very lucky to win a home game against an awful Jaguars in overtime and the Thanksgiving game at Detroit in overtime.

I'm still not sure how they won that wild-card game against the Bengals playing like they were. Even against the Patriots on the road in the divisional round, it was a close 17-13 score at halftime even though they blew us out in the second half. It could have been much worse though.

The only problem I have right now is Matt Schaub. He hasn't proved much of anything when it comes to winning the big games.
You can blame the injuries on defense but our offense for the most part was relatively healthy last year.
There was no excuse for our offense, which featured seven pro bowlers, to play as poorly as they did.

really makes you scratch your head. This is the year for the texans. because in short time, the division will get very competitive again. Make or break season for schaub imo

12-4 or 13-3 season coming.

11-5 ~ 12-4

Denver, SF, Indy , and Ne should all be tough games for you guys. I'm guessing you will win one of those games but lose 1-2 random games that no one will predict.
