    But how though? I don't think they have what it takes on either side of the ball.
    My heart hopes otherwise but my brain says it'll be a let down.

    This further explains my point:
    Where is the consistency on defense outside of JJ? Any one else come to mind? Let me know if I'm missing something but our D ain't enough for that offense.

    There actually are a few good reasons the Texans have a chance...

    (1)Most important - B'Ob has the first game between the two (sad as it was) to work with on which to base a game plan.

    (2)Watt is on a mission like no other defensive player (maybe ever) and want's that MVP.

    (3) Foster is breaking tackles and stiff-arming again

    Leading the league in takeaways not good enough for you? In all seriousness I feel like John Simon might jump out and surprise tomorrow.

    vs the most balance offense, the cowboys our defense bended but didn't break.
    against the colts, they bended but didn't break, forced luck into a fumble and int.
    against the steelers, those 2 minutes were the steelers were given a short field in 3 possessions.

    only eli manning has gotten away with a clean near perfect game against us. the rest of the time the offense's inability to sustain a drive has not helped out the defense.

    but like someone said, not having merciless is going to hurt. kind of nice to say though for what was thought as a 'bust' 2 seasons in.

    We got back into the game after being down 50-0 in the first quarter. I don't think its that far fetched to believe the Texans can win this one.
