Young, crazy athletic defense. Awesome running backs. Genius DC, and awesome offensively minded HC. (dude knows how to run an offense).
Elite team def, there isn't another team that could sustain the losses we took and keep rolling. Baltimore, New England, Pitt, San Fran, and even Green Bay all have flaws that the Texans could expose in the playoffs.
You know the Texans have this year? HEART. Last year defense would have buckled, offense would choke, etc. The players have really come together this year. The only thing in the playoffs that matters is determination and effort, any team can beat any other team.
Definitely elite. You don't beat winning teams on the road with third string quarterbacks unless you have a damn good team.
regardless of the outcome.. we didn't look too good in the first half. Hope they patch the fumbilitis that's been going around.
Obviously can't win lots of games by turning the ball over like they did. They've been taking care of the ball all year, and its a big reason why they are where they are. But, good teams are able to overcome deficit's and turnovers... the fact that they did it on the road today, against a winning team, and clinched the division at the same time makes it that much sweeter.
Heart?? I say they have competent defense and pretty good cb. I would say talent trumps determination and effort.
