Titans game thoughts

[nunusguy]

For years and years the AFC South teams had to play against Peyton (and the Refs), but with him on the sidelines this year and the problems/transition-pains plaguing the Titans and Jags this division has become at the very least the worst in the whole conference and perhaps the whole league, so the division-title/playoffs are there for the taking for the Texans.
We've had a good offensive unit for several years now, but the big difference this year for the Texans is clearly the defense and I don't think there's anyway to overrate the contribution Wade has made.
Due to lingering problems from his season-ending injury last year, DeMeco was a non factor in yesterdays game - his name didn't appear on the stats sheet and Mario is gone for the year yet Phillips still has the D playing at a high-level just as he did for the most part of the rest of this years games.
Credit that to a large extent to personnel changes in the offseason which Wade certainly must have been primarily responsible for including their new corner JoeJoe (yes, he is our most valuable defender), and a solid defensive draft led by JJ & Reed, and most of all an amazingly successful implementation of a new defense which for all practical purposes was accomplished without an offseason. Wade has been a miracle-worker IMO !
