Who did they beat? Good info...I could rebuttal with QBs, but that will open up a can of worms. No need for that. The question then becomes , can THIS team lose to the Bears,Packers, Lions, and Patriots and make it to the Super Bowl? My heart says high unlikely. My wallet says hell no.
Uh....that happens with pretty much every Superbowl champion every season. There are too many cases to show you here. Every Superbowl champion in NFL history has lost games to great teams, good teams, moderate teams, bad teams, etc. during their Superbowl season except the 1972 Miami Dolphins. This is a strange argument. By the way, the 2010 Green Bay Packers lost in December at New England during the regular season. Yet somehow managed to still win the Superbowl.
Yes, I believe WE can finish 12-4. I maintain my stance with the NFC North. Defensive team: Chi Offensive team: Det Mixture/Great QB: Packers tough team: Vikings 3-1= battle tested for whoever WE play in the playoffs or Super Bowl . Now do you see Watt I'm saying?
The Packers went 15-1 last year. Look how well that turned out for them. Regular season means jack once you're in the playoffs.
It's not always about the W but about how they perform out on that field. Also, the only real playoff indicator one is that game in Foxboro. If we can win on the road in Foxboro or at least keep the game close, I'd be fairly confident in the Texans playing there in the playoffs for a game if the situation presents itself.
