Official Texans @ Bucs Game Thread, 11/13/2011

Really nice to see the big plays on offense and defense along with pretty solid play all around. Texans seem to be getting better every week.

With the Bengals and Ravens losing, the Texans are now the #1 seed in the AFC pecking order, winning the tie-break with Pittsburgh due to head-to-head record.

Unless the Texans run the table and go 13-3, I still think the Patriots will eventually overtake them. New England had a brutal first-half schedule but the second half is cupcake city.

Man, I just don't see it with NE. Tom Brady is Tom Brady, but I think thier D is worse than our D was last year, and as we all know, that is saying quite a bit. Certainly not saying they won't make the playoffs, or anything like that, but without a D, its going to be tough for them to win out.

Patriots remaining schedule:

vs KC (4-5)
@ PHI (3-6)
vs IND (0-9)
@ WSH (3-6)
@ DEN (4-5)
vs MIA (2-7)
vs BUF (5-4)

Care to find a loss in there for me?

Any. Given. Sunday. (except the IND, WSH, and probably DEN games).
Every week we have seen at least 1 WTF games. Not saying its going to happen to the Pats, just saying they have 4 games that "could" happen, and the fact that thier D is atrocious, makes it unlikely they will run the table.

Flip side, same could be said for us, but the way our D is playing, I like our chances better than the Pats. We have 2 more solid opponents, the Falcons and the Bengals.

Kool-Aid Bob. Drink it up!

There is no way the Patriots defense is worse than ours was last year. They give up lots of yards playing a shootout almost every week. They are on the field all day because they play no huddle on offense. But they are still 10Xs better than last year's Texans defense.
