PUT YOUR NAME ON IT: Texans Will Finish (Gulp) 10-6

Although your Houston Texans don't take the field until Sunday, the NFL regular season kicks off tomorrow night. And since I have yet to make my "official" prediction on the Texans' regular season record, I'd better get on my horse. Last year, I called 9-7. The year before that, I called 8-8. This year? Let's see...
1. Jets--WIN. Having seen our defense in the preseason, this makes me awfully nervous, but I'll give the edge to the team playing at home and not starting a rookie at QB.2. @ Titans--LOSS. I'd love to pick the Texans to win in Nashville, but, to paraphrase Sean Connery in "The Rock," that's sheer lunacy until further notice.
3. Jaguars--WIN. I still don't buy David Garrard, and it seems like he actually has LESS options in the passing game this year.
4. Raiders--WIN. Immediately after the game, Al Davis announces that he's sent first-round draft picks in 2012 and 2013 to Houston for The Corpse Formerly Known As Anthony Weaver. Davis is not the least bit discouraged by the fact that the Texans no longer own Weaver's rights.
5. @ Cardinals--LOSS. I'd be scared of Larry Fitzgerald or Anquan Boldin. But both? Against a secondary that may have Jacques Reeves returning from a broken leg this week? No, thank you.
6. @ Bengals--WIN. But the Bengals get a far more important victory...the moral kind, courtesy of Andre Smith getting the first glimpse of his toes in four years after the game.
7. 49ers--LOSS. Trap game.
8. @ Bills--WIN. No joke here. I feel really bad for Buffalo fans.
9. @ Colts--LOSS. No Rosencopter this time. Say hello to the Grossburg! Seriously, though...may the all-knowing deity of your choice help us all if Schaub misses any appreciable amount of time this season. If Vegas set the line on the number of games Matt Schaub would finish this season at 14, logic says you'd have to take the under, wouldn't you? Thinking about this depresses me greatly. Thank goodness we've reached the bye week.
10. BYE
11. Titans--WIN. It's football, played at night, in front of a national audience, during the work week. Recent history suggests the Texans will show well here. NOTE: Preseason games don't count. Move along. Nothing to see here.
12. Colts--WIN. Because it has to happen again during my lifetime.
13. @ Jaguars--LOSS. Felt pretty good until this, didn't you? What with the seven wins and all? Reality check.
14. Seahawks--WIN. Only because it's at Reliant. Not sure why, but this game really scares me.
15. @ Rams--WIN. Be it Marc Bulger or Kyle Boller, it's gonna be a rough year in St. Louis.
16. @ Dolphins--LOSS. Like most everyone else, I think Miami's going to fall back to the pack a bit this year, but they'll still be good enough to bite the Texans here.
17. Patriots--WIN. Only because the Patriots will be resting Al Davis' future employees.
So there you have it, BRB. I'm officially calling 10-6, though I'm far less confident in this prediction than I've been in either of the prior two seasons. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the 10-6 call is due more to the apparent ease of the schedule than anything else. Unless a couple of things break really right for the Texans in the AFC, I'm still not calling a playoff appearance. What say the learned audience?

I would change a couple of the L to W and W to L
But I’d call 10-6 too

Im a little low.
When I re-up i’ll let you know.
Carson Palmer is healthy and Ochocinco seems more focused this season. Their defense is better than what most people think. Im not saying that we can’t beat cincy, we’re just gonna make mistakes to the point that we end up beating ourselves.
With the seahawks game, I just feel like it’s one of those games were everybody thinks we’re gonna win because we’re playing at home but end up being disappointed because we lost. Gut feeling. No facts to back that one up.

Child please.
All Chad Ochocinco thinks about is tweeting. I’d be more worried about Chris Henry.

about chad not making an impact. obviously he’s gonna wanna get into the endzone and do his touchdown celebrations via twitter so he’s gonna be pretty determined.
by Jordann on Sep 9, 2009 4:24 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
there is some validity to that
Cincy would be a prime trap game for the Texans… and they have just enough of a passing game to royally fuck over the Texans D.
by grungedave on Sep 9, 2009 4:20 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I agree
withall except the loss to the 49ers. My friend and I just got done with our picks and I had the Texans 11-5 at the end of the season but I had this funny feeling in my stomach when I was finished making my predictions – something just didn’t feel right. I feel like I’m in the X Files or something….“I want to believe”.

9-7
I hope I’m wrong but…
1) Defense needs to prove itself. Especially against the run
2) Offense needs to prove itself in the red zone
3) Turnover Ratio. This needs to reverse itself.
If we simply assume all of these things will be fixed or vastly improved, I think it’s a bit of homerism gone wild. I’m not even confident that we’ll beat the Jets this Sunday. They have a good defense and a good run game, two things we fail against.

Shot in the dark...
1. Jets—WIN – Close but I don’t trust Sanchez.
2. @ Titans—WIN – Think they’ll fall down to earth without
3. Jaguars—LOSS – I’m with FO on the Jags being underrated a bit. Keep in mind that in recent history quite a few rookie tackles (McNeil, Thomas, Long) have come in and turned things around.
4. Raiders—WIN – Although it wouldn’t surprise me if they found a way.
5. @ Cardinals—LOSS – Great shootout game. Like our chances but not enough to take the W.
6. @ Bengals—WIN – Ochocinco serving a one game suspension for twittering.
7. 49ers—WIN – Might be the worst team in the NFL.
8. @ Bills—WIN – Also might be the worst team in the NFL.
This is where the media hype starts taking over even though the Texans play an abysmal early schedule.
9. @ Colts—LOSS – Dwight Freeney injures Schaub.
10. BYE – Everyone talks about how Schaub will have the extra week off and be fine.
11. Titans—LOSS – Rex Grossman.
12. Colts—LOSS – Rex Grossman.
13. @ Jaguars—LOSS – Schaub comes back, but the defense is torched by 3 fake punt plays.
14. Seahawks—LOSS – Great homefield in Seattle.
15. @ Rams—WIN – Could be a trap game.
16. @ Dolphins—LOSS – Could see this one going either way.
17. Patriots—WIN – Only because they’ll be resting the starters.
So that takes us to….8-8! Hey, I’ve seen this season before!

motivation
I know we have a lot of work to do in the offseason resigning Demeco, Dunta, Daniels. And we probably won’t resign Walter and Pitts, but having all these guys motivated to earn money next year is a great thing, due to the fact they will all do whatever it takes to have career years. We will replace Walter and Pitts in the draft, probably in the 3rd and 4th rounds. I was looking at Eric Decker, WR, Minnesota in the 4th round. He is 6’3 215 and looks to be a Walter clone. And I like Jow Thomas, OG, Pittsburg in the 3rd round to replace Pitts. He is 6’5 305 and fits the zone blocking scheme. I really hopr that the Texans take a safety and defensive tackle in the first 2 rounds and quit acting like they can fill those spots with trash. I like Darrell Stuckey out of Kansas(safety) and the DT Vince Oghobasse from Duke in the first 2 rounds. Any thoughts?

don’t ask me why. this is just how i see it now. things may change to show me up. but i don’t think schaub will play the whole season, and i don’t think rexy will play as well as he showed in that last pre-season game. to be honest, i don’t think stevie will have as good a season as he did last year. i think him putting on that extra weight will take it’s toll and he loses that extra edge he had. i pray that i’m wrong…

Hedging my bets until I can see the defense stop somebody. So far, in the regular season, we have been sorry at stopping the run and pressuring the quarterback. If we’re improved in one of those facets I see us getting another game or two.

your shitting me right?
you have us losing to SF here? i doubt crabtree will sign a contract by then which means there is no passing game, which means we can bring up the extra defender on the run plays. their D is good, but not great. nate clements is extremely overrated and their D-line is no better than average. patrick willis is a monster though. i see us winning that game 23-7.

10-6,irrational exuberance?
1. Jets—Win. Mark Sanchez, meet Mario Williams. Welcome to the NFL, it’s been real.
2. @ Titans—Win – Where is that fat man in the middle? What’s that, you let Dan Snyder buy him? Do you still have no receivers? That’s a yes? Do you still get to choose between VY and Vodka Collins throwing to them? Umm yeah…here’s the bad news. You suck and you still live in Tennessee. Don’t ever wear those oilers jerseys again. I can’t guarantee your safety.
3. Jaguars—Win – How’s that David Garrard as long term starter thing working out? Yeah, that sucks. Not gonna lie, kinda saw it coming. On the upside, at least Matt Jones won’t be doing lines on the sidelines anymore. Good to see y’all again.
4. Raiders—Win – Your coach is Tom Cable and your owner is Al Davis. It’s just a sad situation. They’re walking punchlines. Eventually, one of those top five picks will work out for..after he dies.
5. @ Cardinals— Loss no. 1. Your high powered offense doesn’t need our awful secondary to look good. And that’s a bad sign for us. We come in making some noise with out record, and come back to earth.
6. @ Bengals—Lose. I think your offense is coming back this year, and it’s a bad match for us. Could change if you’ve already ruined Carson for the year by playing him behind that godawful line of yours.
7. 49ers—Win- I actually think your defense will be much improved. Unfortunately, there’s no change in offense so you’re pretty much sunk. I know, Crabtree is an asshole, but that doesn’t change things.
8. @ Bills-Win- Bringing back the no-huddle will not make it 1992 again. Not that you did anything but choke back then. Why not? Because Trent Edwards is NOT Jim Kelly.
9. @ Colts—Lose- We reliably bring the suck against you. Rosy is gone, but we’ll find a way. Besides, I like your offense this year and if your defense stays solid, you’re still a 10-12 win team in my eyes, Dungy or no.
11. Titans—Lose- All that stuff I said before is true. But you’re running game is solid and we still don’t have a real nose tackle, much to our chagrin.
12. Colts—Win – Trouble is, we’re a lot better than we used to be, but you’re about the same, maybe a little weaker. So we split.
13. @ Jaguars—Win – How did Jacksonville even get a team? I mean, there are so many great cities, and we have to travel to Jacksonville twice a year? Where are y’all moving to inevitably anyway? Let us know. Just traveling there makes us angry enough to sweep you this year.
14. Seahawks—Win– Aging Hasselbeck+no running back+ injury prone receivers= offensive fail. The defense isn’t much better. And Jim Mora is your coach now. You lose.
15. @ Rams—Win- Did you watch this team last year? Really awful. When it takes the Lions going 0-16 to deprive you of the no. 1 draft pcik, you definitely have a problem. Odds are Jackson is already hurt, Bulger sucks or is also hurt, and the line is still awful. On defense, well, let’s just not talk about that, shall we?
16. @ Dolphins—Lose – Trap game for us. Solid record, playoff hopes riding high, but we can’t close the deal. One day.
17. Patriots—Lose – Same problem, better team. Brady will destroy our secondary, Dunta or no.

Just like last year, I think this team will be streaky in wins and losses.

8-8 or Not
I don’t know that my heart and/or liver can handle a season that sees us drop the first two, win the next five, drop the next four, win the next three, and then lose the last two.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

Oh Yeah!
And midway during one of the losing streaks there’s a bye so you can dwell on it even longer! Man, that’s evil! Haha. Just when we start thinking “playoffs, baby!” they go up to Buffalo and drop one, then the Colts…………….

Naw...
It was hard enough picking a loss against the Bills and T.O.. So I don’t poop in anyone’s Cheerios – chrisd21 and I came up with a cereal chant/rap/fight song for you, by the way – they’re still 8-6 going into the last two weeks with the possibility of 10-6 if they win out. The last two are a tough call because of the Pats possibly resting starters and the Dolphins traditionally losing in December.

I predicted 12-4...
About three years ago and I’ve since learned to temper my expectations to avoid bitter disappointment.

That’s what every Texan fan should have coming to this season.

Jags loss and SF loss could be wins

Texans will go....
11-5 if schaub, andre and steve stay healthy.
They will go 7-9 if one of those suffers a significant injury. I guess in Schaub’s case it’s WHEN he suffers a significant injury.

on the record....
im saying 12-4, second in our division, behind indy. playoff bound…
but only if….
*shaub stays healthy
*OD, meco, dunta’, slaton all have pro bowlish #‘s…..
*cushing plays like a man possessed
*they find a way to score in the redzone (80 to 85 scoring %)
all in all, we win the games we are supposed to, and we win some nail biters thanks to money in the bank A.K.A Mr. $$$. i hear a lot about “trap” games, but this isnt college. these guys haven’t won much, and they hate losing. they wanna crush the scrubs and play the tough teams hard, and let it come down to the 4th where we always hold an advantage. we will get off the field on 3rd, which will allow our offense numerous scoring opportunities. add some surprises like JJ making a statement and the emergence of T.H.O.R as a bonafied red zone threat, texans make the playoffs, sends 4 players 2 the pro bowl, and koob snags coach of the year.

Just watched the Titans-Steelers game and it's apparent the Titans are still tough
They played great D, allowing 36 yds rushing. Should have won, but thankfully they didn’t. Already gives us reason to pucker about the MNF game in week 12. I was ready to confidently call that one a win, but the loss of Fat Albert did not slow down the Titans Tough D.
We know we can win at home, but can we keep our composure on the road like we did at GB last year? If we can go 4-4 on the road we have a great chance for the playoffs; 5-3 and we’re in. I see us losing @ Tenn, Arizona & Indy and (???) winning the rest. Is that possible? At home we go 6-2 with losses to Indy & NE. We have to beat Tennessee on Monday nite.
11-5, a playoff berth for sure and possibly a division crown, 1st round bye and a home playoff game in January. Gotta dream. GO TEXANS!!!!!!!!!
It took the Astros 44 years to get to the Series, the Oilers-Texans are due to get to the big dance...Go Texans!!!!!
