Zounds. Sure would be nice to head to New England 2-0 ....

IMO, gonna need a strong second half cause the first half looks tough especially with the shiny new QB. Hopefully, Oz finds system comfort quickly......

Second game Chiefs in NRG again (after they killed us in NRG twice last season ), and then 4 days later we travel to play the Pats in NE on a Thursday night. That's a tough start, a tough schedule.
So there's 5 PT games. This is a big- boy schedule. I think if O'Brien can somehow get the Texans to a winning record in 2016 then he's done one helluva job.

[Keith]

Yes, the KC-NE turnaround is tough, and the MIN-IND-DEN stretch is also rough. And all five of these games are in the first seven of the season.

Osweiler will need to be ready.

...but to look at this another way, imagine if this was a rookie QB (or perhaps Savage/Weeden). Hopefully having Osweiler in this spot provides a more optimistic outlook.
