2014 Schedule

They will lose that AFC west road game, no matter who the opponent is.

Other than that, the Steelers won't be as bad as they were this year, the Bengals have no reason to be bad, and Baltimore has a core that could go from being really bad to really good any given year. And Cleveland is just like Houston... minus the recent playoff runs.

The NFC East is very similar to the AFC North... a bunch of teams with talent that could be good if things fall into place, or could be mediocre.

 

Wow, schedule looks really damn good to me.
Definitely can make playoffs next year if we have a good offseason.

 

Lots of Ls on that list.

 

NOT done, yet. Even if we lose out, the opponents might change.

MOTHER #$)(&(ers, can y'all wait until the season is over?!?!?

JK. Speculate as much as you want.

 

The only thing that changes are the two strength of schedule games.

 

I thought the divsion winners have to play the other AFC division winners. We will be avoiding new england, denver and who ever wins from the AFC north. Pretty good for us because Indy will have to prove that they can beat those teams.

Pretty easy schedule as far as I am concerned.

 

No. You still play one division entirely (division winners and all... next year, the Texans will play the Bengals who will likely win that division).

There are only TWO games that get determined by where you finish.... and you play the corresponding teams in the two other AFC divisions that you're not already playing.

So, yes... by finishing in 3rd or last, the Texans will avoid the Broncos and Patriots next year since they're set to play the AFC North.

 

Texans improve greatly to 9-7. McNair gives the coach a 10 year extension.

 

So long, non-NFL Network primetime games... (although, ESPN might sniff the tires of the Dallas game).....

 

4-12 if we barely improve.

6-10 if we improve a little more.

8-8 if we improve more than a little more.

10-6 if we improve a lot.

12-4 if we really, really improve.

 

Just when we started getting network games, this season happens. We were getting Thursday night games, Monday night games and Sunday night games. We were even getting Tuesday Night games and there are no football games on Tuesday

 

Not sure this is a bad thing.

 

just beat dallas

 

We need this guy, then. ^ no?

 

No...

 

^ damn, you, Irish brother. That joke had potential. You just took the wheels off my... [brrrrrrrr - drumroll] Carr... [rimshot!]

 

Crossing my fingers for the Texans vs. Cowboys on Thanksgiving.

 

All those teams will be getting better or at least mediocre next season. Stronger SOS than this year.
