Are the Texans REALLY This Good?

[DallasGirl50]

ESPN"s Tom Jackson picked the Texans to go to the SB this morning on Countdown

Based on what? Their stellar playoff history? Oh wait. They've never been to the playoffs.

Seriously that's a little premature. They do have a potent offense though but their DB's got killed today.

I think they're in the same boat we are. They have a really good coordinator playing head coach. They do deserve props though for beating the Colts. They've been their ***** for years.

Based on how they finished last season

I guess. Guess that doesn't apply to us. Lots of "experts" have us as a SB frontrunner and we finished the season getting our butts handed to us by the Vikes.

I'm not dogging the Texans. They do have a good team.

They have a underrated QB

Texas have played the Colts to a stand still 5 of the last 6 games before tonight. They just constantly choked like they've done the last two years in trying to get to the playoffs.


They havent havent had a losing season since '06. It comes down to their ability to run the ball effectively and the defense's ability to finish games. If they do that, they've definitely get 10-11 wins.

Their O line just took over the game and the fullback Leach was a flat out stud. For a few moments there, reminded me of the 90's Cowboys running game, we're gonna run it right down your throat and there's nothing you can do about it. Can they continue to do that for an entire season? Probably not, but teams are going to have to respect their running game now which is going to make them much harder to game plan for.

Hahahahha the dude said it twice in a row......................I had 2 do a audio double take and rewined my dvr

The Texans looked great down the stretch last year and they contiune to look better this season. They should have beaten the Colts twice last season, so they finally knocked down that door.

now that they got rid Kyle Shannannhannnnnnnnnnnn as OC

No, the Texans are really not this good. They are a good team, but I don't expect them to play like they did in their first game. The season opening game sometimes is a poor indicator of how a team will play the entire season. In the Texans case, I think they have been preparing for this game as soon as the schedule was released. They wanted to win it at all costs. They had to win it. I expect them to play well all season, but that doesn't mean they will build such big leads every game and win them in the same fashion they did yesterday.

They should beat the Commanders handily and then we come up.

If we don't get our offense fixed and fast they'll beat us as well. Although I expect our D to show up. You won't win too many games scoring 1 touchdown.

If they beat the Skins and Boys then I will have to say Tom Jackson on ESPN was very accurate with his SB pick

He wouldn't be accurate until it actually happens. Winning your first three games does not even mean you're making the playoffs. Not to mention that it means nothing since these are two out of conference games.

yeah, not even your first 6 games like Denver.

We lost our first game last year and still won the division. I am not giving up hope. It's just very frustrating.

IF the Texans are ever going to make the playoffs this would be the year. I still don't like Kubiak though as HC. Never have. But he's that team's problem. We have major coaching problems of our own.

The difference is that the Texans all have Kubiak's back. Doesn't seem like the Cowboys players have much respect for Wade. Wade needs to stick to being a DC and not a head coach.

You couldn't be more wrong. Wade is 100% a player's coach and doesn't throw any of them under the bus when they lose. You're very wrong if you think that. The problem is with the OC and Wade needs to step in when that becomes ineffective. He doesn't. Garrett has complete control over the offense. Wade defense. There are actually 2 head coaches on this team.

So, why don't the players play for Wade then? Why do the players look so inept out there and unmotivated? Kubiak has been called a players coach, too, and his players PLAY for him. Doesn't look like the Cowboys players play for Wade.

I am sure you're just arguing just to be arguing but I'll play anyway..of course the players play for him. You can say alot of things about Wade and be right but that he's not a player's coach is terribly inaccurate.

And while we're on the subject and a Texans thread and all that didn't Mario Williams get called out by not only his coach but also the Texans owner for taking plays off? So does that mean Kubiak isn't a players coach? You're defending him and making such a big point of Wade isn't this and Wade isn't that and Kubiak is but I am sure I read that they both called Mario out. ANd I guess it worked right? But then again how can that be if Kubiak is such a players coach? Shouldn't Mario want to play hard every play anyway? For his head coach? Is Mario inept? Unmotivated? If he's so coached up and all that why is the Texans owner questioning him? Perhaps sometimes players are just spoiled brats who want a big paycheck regardless of coaching on any team and just sort of skate by. Could that possibly be? Turn it on. Turn it off. It's common in the NFL. Ask Randy Moss.

I think Kubiak and Wade are about even as coaches. Average head coaches. Above average coordinators.

The Cowboys have a great "in your face" Cowher type coach in their ST coach in Joe DeCamillis who broke his neck last season and all the players love and they still managed to look fairly inept against the Skins. Is it because they didn't want to play hard for their coach or maybe they just played poorly that night? I guess you pick which one.
