    Let's go on and put it on the Record!

    Jacksonville
    Atlanta
    Cincinnati
    Carolina
    Indianapolis
    Tennessee

    I see no worse than 4-2
    3-3 would be a disappointment
    anything worse is UNACCEPTABLE

    Matt Leinart . .. . or no!

    If they tank from here . . .[10-6] or less
    I will be very skeptical and critical of Kubes and Co!

    I think they'll kick the crap out of the scout team this week. ;)

    4-2 with playoffs. Leinart throws averages 160 yards, 1-2TDs, and 1 pick a game. Alex Smith-lite.

    I would have said anything worse than 5-1 would be a disappointment before Schaub's injury. :(

    4-2. I believe!

    4-2 can still be had. This team won't completely implode with Leinart on the field...i hope

    6-0. People tend to forget that Shaulb looked VERY average during the first 6 games and always liked to throw at receiver's feet. I fail to see there being much drop-off at all.

    I don't either. I think the Defense will keep all games close
    As long as Leinart doesn't throw 2~3 picks a game [or fumbles]
    we will be ok

    You continue to push this silly narrative that 10-6 is somehow a disappointment. Even with Schaub 100% healthy, it is NOT a disappointment. I cannot stress that enough. It almost assuredly clinches a division, which nets you a home playoff game. No Texan fan should ever think they're entitled to anything more until this team proves it can win consistently.

    I would literally kill Groogux for a 10-6 season. Once the playoffs starts, records mean nothing.

    Texans win the division (barely).

    Remember my prediction.
    12-4 Talent
    8 -8 Coaching
    meant 10-6

    Since then The play of the Defense
    What Wade has done has been phenominal
    IMO meant that the team was playing up to their potential
    So . . .I was feeling more 12-4ish . . . .
    Wade has single handedly moved the bar.
    So . . Coaching is now 10-6

    So
    Revised
    12-4 talent
    10-6 coaches

    New Prediction is no less than 11-5

    I don't feel entitled but
    a Team with
    1. The best Running back . . Best running back duo
    2. Top 3 Receiver
    3. Top 5 Tight End [am I rating our TE too high here?]
    4. #1 Defense in the league . . .
    5. Top 5 Offensive lines

    When has team like that only managed to be 10-6?

    What kind of trash? If you were to tell me that if lost arguably the best WR in the league for half the season, arguably the best RB for 3 games, our Pro Bowl LB Mario for the entire season, our starting safety for basically the rest of the season, and now possibly without our staring Pro Bowl QB for the the forseeable future that 10-6 would be a disappointment?

    Get out of here with that man.

    I would think 10-6 with that adversity being thrown our way would be a testament to Kubiak and Wade's phenomenal coaching and would not be disappointed if Uncle Bob gave Kubiak an extension.

    You do realize that AJ, Foster, Tate and Mario have played a total of 1 quarter of a game together?

    The Aroma of last years arguments

    Are you seriously telling me . . . you will be satisfied with 3-3
    form here on out. You don't think the Texans . . even with Matt Leinart at QB
    are better than the Teams they will play?

    Please point out the more talented teams than the Matt Leinart lead Texans

    Jacksonville Atlanta
    Cincinnati Carolina
    Indianapolis Tennessee

    because. . . now I am curious

    and the team is still 7-3

    but . . .the expectation is 3-3 in these last 6 games is fine.
