The Coming Weeks (4-10)

[HPF Bob]

Okay, hopefully the Texans got all their suckage out in one game and will be back on track when they take the field against the Titans on Sunday.

The following week they will travel to Minnesota which is undefeated and somehow winning without Adrian Peterson and Teddy Bridgewater. I think Houston can and should win both weeks.

They probably will not get any distance on the Colts who will face the Jaguars and Bears the next two weeks.

The two teams square off in Houston for week 6. The schedule gets harder for both teams the following two weeks. After the Colts, the Texans travel to Denver and come home to play Detroit before their bye week and a trip to Jacksonville. After the Texans, the Colts play Tennessee, Kansas City and Green Bay before their bye week.

Going into the home stretch, I forsee the Texans will have a record of 5-3. (losses to NE, Denver and Indy) At their bye, I see the Colts as 4-4 (Detroit, Denver, KC and Green Bay).

We get Duane Brown back and I am hoping the domino effect of his return to the line will improve the running game and create more openings for the passing game.

Ya, I suppose another possibility is an L in Minnesota and W against the Colts which still leads to the same 5-3..... Texans have never beaten Minnesota and they are looking strong ATM. Re: Colts, can't beat those head-to-head wins against division opponents...

D Brown will probably suck for a couple of games until he gets back in football shape. At least he did the last time he missed time (PED suspension?). Took him a couple of games to get going.... This time around, I'm hoping it is only a couple of games...

The offense needs to get it going.... I want to see some positive "gellin'" against the Titans and Vikes.....

Of course, I typed all this before the news about J.J. but, for now, I'll stand by the prediction. O'Brien/Crennel will now need to come up with some different schemes to pressure the QB.
