Are the Texans REALLY This Good?

[GuerillaBlack]

Bottom line: If your front seven was better than we probably wouldn't be the one with the number 2 overall defense last year.

The first three games really hurt the Texans last season. Like I said, look at the defensive stats when Pollard was signed.

Ok then honest question, I have no idea how to go about figuring this out but where would your defense have ranked last year not counting weeks 1-3?

Discounting the first three games, Houston had a top ten defense. Counting the first three, they still had a top 15 defense, after being the in the low 20s before Week 4. That should tell you something.

After all these years of suckage and drafting near the top of the draft they better be starting to field a real team.

That's usually what happens.

This IF game is funny. Guess what? All the games count now and all the stats count as well. IF you exclude the first three games last year the Texans had a great defense? You can't exclude the first games.

I want to play though. IF the Cowboys had won in Minny they would have gone to the Super Bowl last year.

IF Tony hadn't mishandled that snap against Seattle the Cowboys win a playoff game that year.

IF I was 20, a size zero and looked like Cindy Crawford I'd be the newest hot supermodel.

See how it works? Point is it doesn't.

Completely different than what I'm talking about. When Houston added a vocal leader/hard hitter to the defense, they vastly improved. That didn't happen until after Week 3 (when we signed Pollard). You're saying "if Tony hadn't fumbled the snap, we would have won" or "if the Cowboys had beat Minnesota, they would have played against New Orleans for the NFC Championship game". You don't see the difference between the examples you gave and the one I gave?

My point is (and it obviously went right over your head) is the "IF" game is stupid no matter the examples given. IF Daniels hadn't gotten hurt. IF Pollard had been there. IF. IF. IF.

It changes nothing. The Texans are what they were last year. The Cowboys the same.


I was being sillly with my examples. You can't take something that happened and say well IF this had happened we would have been better. You don't know that.

I'm not a Texans fan. They have a good team. Good luck with that.

But how am I playing the "IF" game with the defense? Pollard WAS signed after Week 3 and the defense DID become a top ten defense because of it.

Really? :laugh2:

To answer the question posed in the title: Maybe!

I'm glad they beat the Foreskins.
