Oh, heck yeah. And you?

The Texans are who we thought they were - contenders and a pretty good team.

Still much to work on - they still have to learn about Life-without-Cushing.... but the Green Bay game looks like just a good slap in the face, now. Perhaps we can meet up with them again?

I think the only real worry we have left is New England. Barring a total collapse, we'll win the AFC South and we now have the tiebreaker with Baltimore so we'd have to finish with a worse record than them to lose the HFA throughout the playoffs. What's left is New England who we will have to play in December as our third consecutive road game and as a Monday Nighter.

I suspect that will be a loss so we just need to go into that game with a two-game lead on them.

You don't think Chicago or Minnesota or even the Colts might be pretty competitive games?

2 of those 3 are NFC games
In all honesty, I can see us splitting with the Colts, mainly due to the Week 17 game being there, with us likely having little, if anything, to play for.

And we stay winless in Indy......

possible, I see you are concentrating on AFC games only.

I was asking overall, how we might do against Bears and Vikings as it does impact our overall record.

of course main thing, is the next game, Buffalo, win that one after the by-week.

cleaning up our penalties and turnover and defense getting turnovers makes a lot of difference in the score. And perhaps defense applied more pressure on Flaco than it seemed to get against Rogers.

I see us losing either the Indy or Titans road game and doing no better than a split with the NE, ChiTown, Motown, & Minny games all of which are on the road except for Minnesota.

That would be ok to end up 11-5 or 12-4, but I'm hoping we win some of those tough road games.
