    Assuming Dunta will be the same Dunta when he gets back. Otherwise, he might be your new safety and you're looking for 2 new corners.

    SOME improvement at RB?? Please. We need a RB. We need a real RB.

    I'm actually pretty pleased with Bennett. He's a good 2nd cornerback. If Dunta comes back as a corner, any new corners should be depth pick-ups. If he comes back as a FS, it fixes one hole and creates another.

    Running back, though? If Ron Dayne and his 5.5 40 yard dash can average the league average with Ephraim Salaam at LT, imagine what an average back could do with a real line.

    Texans have to win out now to make the playoffs.

    If we would of won yesterday things would be looking pretty good right now but as things are today

    Indy
    Pitt
    NE
    San Diego

    will win their divisions

    Cleveland will be the 5th seed (and they hold the tie-break over us)
    The Jags will be thw 6th seed (yes their record is better than the Browns but look at the rest of the games)

    Jags will be 10-5 when they play the Texans we must win out to have a shot and it's not going to happen :mad:

    I doubt the Texans make the playoffs but they have had a successful season considering all of the injuries.

    That would put the Browns at 11-4 heading into their last game. They're pretty good, but not good enough to win out...sure their schedule is cream puff soft, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them lose 1-2 games.

    Hell no! He was my best scorer this week because I started Schaub over Brees...it's no wonder I'm 5-7. I have to listen better when the pundits say a game is going to be a shootout. That most certainly means it will be a defensive battle.

    It doesn't bode well for the Texans. Of the AFC teams in the playoff hunt, the Texans have the toughest strength of schedule for the remaining games.

    Following is the remaining strength of schedule for the 10 AFC teams within one game of .500 or better:

    Code:
    AFC EAST
    
    TEAM                     NEW ENGLAND (11-0)            BUFFALO (5-6)                                                          
    
    OPP. RECORD        21-34 (.382)                            24-31 (.436)                            
    WEEK 13                at Baltimore (4-7)                    at Washington (5-6)                 
    WEEK 14                Pittsburgh (8-3)                       Miami (0-11)                           
    WEEK 15                New York Jets (2-9)                 at Cleveland (7-4)                    
    WEEK 16                Miami (0-11)                           New York Giants (7-4)
