That's a little harsh. 11-5 is certainly a possibility just like 5-11 is a possibility. Many of the "experts" will be predicting 10-6 and that is not that far removed from 11-5. Today's Texans really should be able to hang with anybody on their schedule..... Colts? The Texans proved last year they could hang with them - they just haven't figured out how to get over the hump and win a few.... Cowboys, Jets, Ravens, Chargers, Jags(!) and Titans? Not really all that scary.... I heard a Schaub radio interview the other day speak on the schedule - he's not scared..

It is possible about the time Cushing comes back that the defense has started to come together and plays a whole notch higher than last year. Then again, there could be devastating injuries across the board..... but I think they are too deep now to really crater to 4-6 wins and that includes an injury to the QB position... Not unless they set some kind of record for "tough losses", I just don't see it...
