Toughness

[HPF Bob]

Vastly improved defense is still in theory at this point, plus there's no proof that the culture of losing is gone and the same offensive coaches are here to choke away late-game situations. Plus, there's no assurance we won't have major injuries again.

So, as much as I'd love a emotional lift, I'm in a "believe-it-when-I-see-it" mode regarding the Texans. The sad thing is they could go 5-11 and still be the best pro team in the city.
