I won't bother guessing. But I'll say this. If the Texans went 11-5 and 13-3 in two of the past three seasons, including one Conference Championship appearance, I'd be a lot more stoked about a 5-3 record right now.
You forgot to mention the season between the 11-5 and 13-3 seasons. The one they went......you guessed it.......6-10. So in the last 3 seasons, the Packers went 6-10, 11-5, then won the Superbowl. Interesting.....
When was the last time the Texans had two 10 win seasons sandwiched around a 6-10 season? Scratch that. When was the last time the Texans had ANY 1- win seasons EVER? In the past decade, the Packers have had 7 double-digit win seasons.
Common starters from the 2007 and 2010 Packers teams: QB: None RB: John Kuhn (FB) WR: Driver, Jennings, Jones TE: None OL: Chad Clifton, Daryn Colledge DL: Cullen Jenkins LB: Desmond Bishop, AJ Hawk DB: Nick Collins, Charles Woodson, Tramon Williams (This list does not include players who were on IR) So yeah, not exactly a whole lot of players (maybe half?) carried over from that 13-3 season to the Superbowl... should give Texans fans a little more reason to be optimistic. Actually, nevermind. The average NFL turnover rate after 4 years is almost 100%. So, the Packers did very well to retain that many players from that team. I guess the moral of the story is, the Packers were able to rebuild a competitive team after their 2007 squad fell apart in a mere 2 years. So the question for us is, how far have we come since 2009?
