Only way this team doesn't win at least 10 games is if Shaub goes down for a significant period of time.
I will say 10-6, and hoping for playoffs. But not too convinced, and I dont have high expectations, so they dont bring me down, if they dont achieve that.
vs Indianapolis (W) @ Miami (W) @ New Orleans (L) vs Pittsburgh (L) vs Oakland (W) @ Baltimore (L) @ Tennessee (W) vs Jacksonville (W) vs Cleveland (L) @ Tampa Bay (W) @ Jacksonville (W) vs Atlanta (L) @ Cincinnati (W) vs Carolina (W) @ Indianapolis (L) vs Tennessee (W) I've got the Texans at 10-6. Playoffs via winning division.
Changing my first forecast, the Texans will be 2-4 in the division. Losing both game to the Jags won't be easy. Baltimore, Pitt, Tampa, New Orleans and Miami look like possible losses. 8-8 It's about right to expect from the Texans.
10 - 6 - I see us picking up big momentum in the second half of the season as our defense settles in. And I'm in agreement with those that think that Kubiak will cost us a couple of games. One in the regular season and.... a playoff game.
13-3 and super bowl appearance. If the cardinals and saint two of the worst franchises in all of sports can make the superbowl no reason the texans can't. Given the number of chances the odds say the Texans are more likely than not to make the super bowl. Or I hope they really suck (2-14) so they can blow this up. No more 9-7.
Maybe they can trade away Jonathan Joseph for Dunta Robinson and that'll earn the team 4 wins right there. Badabing 12-4
Voted 8-8 so I can be surprised and astonished when they go 10-6 or be resolute and fine when they go 7-9
This team has more than enough talent to go 12-4 or better. With what I think is a winnable AFC (NFC I believe have the best 2 teams with Philly (if Vick stays healthy)/Green Bay). Pats have a whole bunch of question marks if they pan out they will be nearly unstoppable, but if they don't there could be some major chemistry problems. Steelers and Ravens at some point have to slow down due to age, and so many miles (constant playoff appearances and winning rounds) San Diego has Texans syndrome always seeming to play way worse than their immense talent. Manning is a ?, Colts could fall out of race before he gets 100% Titans I think are way below average (new coach, new quarterback, a RB that is a stat w****) Jax is very avg. I'm going with 12-4 (Likely 5-1 or 6-0 in division), but I think anything from 10-6 to 13-3 is reasonable (luck factors). I think anything less than 10 wins and playoff appearance and this team needs a big overhaul. Whether than means players, coaches, or both, is up to the owner.
It looks like 10-6 to me with an AFC South Crown. Won't it be insane around here if the last two games are for the playoffs. vs Indianapolis W @ Miami W @ New Orleans L vs Pittsburgh L vs Oakland W @ Baltimore L @ Tennessee W vs Jacksonville W vs Cleveland W @ Tampa Bay L @ Jacksonville W vs Atlanta L @ Cincinnati W vs Carolina W @ Indianapolis L vs Tennessee W
Same line of thinking here, but also there are quite a few teams we face with strong rushing attacks that I think will carve up the run D.
