What Now? I'll Tell You What Now...

PrintWhile the first half of the 2011 season has had its shares of ups and downs, when compared to seasons past, I'd say its been pretty relaxing. Sure, there was the gut-wrenching loss to Oakland, the fourth quarter meltdown against New Orleans, and the completely uninspiring outing at Baltimore, but there has been nothing as brutal as the Q-Tip or Rosencopter. I mean, the Oakland loss doesn't even have a nickname.
The team sits here at the midway point with a 5-3 record, a 3-0 record in the division, and alone at the top of the AFC South. Regardless of how you feel about the first half performance, I'd have to imagine that most of us would have happily accepted that outcome were it offered in August.
Now as we dive into the deep end of the season, let's take a moment to see what lies ahead.
It's hard to argue that the most difficult part of the Texans' schedule is behind them. While they definitely did not come out unscathed, the scathing they suffered was in no way debilitating.
Looking forward, the schedule unfolds as follows:
- vs Cleveland: While many will argue that the Browns are a team on the rise, I will argue that they have not yet risen. Some will say that they have a top defense, but Football Outsiders rates them as simply "middle of the road". Offensively, they've really not done much, but I think the stat that is most telling is that their three victories have come against teams that are a combined 2-20 for the season. Texans win.
- @ Tampa Bay: Tampa Bay is like the girl that isn't really hot, but under proper circumstances and in the right light, she can be pretty attractive. Then at other times, she's just ugly. The discussion around Josh Freeman is kind of the anti-Matt Schaub argument -- he's great in the fourth quarter, but mediocre during the rest of the game. Tampa Bay is the type of team that can beat anyone, but they really need everything to go right, so I'm also going to mark this down as a win.
- @ Jacksonville: Despite what Jags fans might wish/hope/dream about when nobody's looking, I don't feel that the Duane Brown non-punch is going to be able to fire the team up enough to make a difference. Even if they are super fired up, I find it hard to believe that motivation alone can turn Blaine Gabbert into a viable quarterback in a mere four weeks. The Texans will be coming off a bye, and this is pretty much the worst case scenario as far as getting Andre Johnson back is concerned. Let's chalk this up as another win.
- vs Atlanta: Truth be told, I feel the Texans should win this game. Atlanta is wildly inconsistent and Matt Ryan is overrated as a quarterback. Still, they're the type of team that can lift themselves up for certain games. I feel like between this game and the next two, the Texans will likely drop one. It will probably be the type of game that will cause the fan base to panic and call for heads, but Atlanta has a very good defense and has beaten other solid teams this year, so I'm afraid this might be that one that makes us all angry. Loss.
- @ Cincinnati: Despite their record, I have a hard time buying into the Bengals' hype. Yes, they are 5-2 and yes, they have a good defense, but aside from Buffalo (who is still a tough team to figure), their wins have come against Cleveland, Jacksonville, Indianapolis, and Seattle. Hardly the fab four of football there. Andy Dalton may turn out to be a good quarterback in time, but for now, I think he's getting too much love. Ultimately, though, "any given Sunday" aside, I refuse to believe that the Texans will lose to a team this season that has also lost to the Broncos.
- vs Carolina: I'm as surprised as anyone that Cam Newton is playing well this season. I mean, I have a hard time believing that anyone who has been kicked off of the University of Florida football team (I know... I know... he "transferred") could turn into a serviceable NFL quarterback. Frankly, I'm surprised he can tie his shoes in the morning. Still, I will give him credit, as he has played quite well. Yet, despite what ESPN might tell you, teams cannot with by quarterback play alone. If not for the matadors that make up the Colts' defense, the Panthers would be bringing up the rear in Football Outsiders' defensive metrics. Chalk up another "W", boys.
- @ Indianapolis: Do I really have to say anything here? Even on the off chance that Peyton Manning is back, as a team, they still suck. Win.
- vs Tennessee: If previous predictions are true (which they undoubtedly are (not)), the Texans will be sitting at 11-4 here. If they still have something to play for, I believe they will beat the Titans. I have a feeling that the wheels are about to fall off of the Titans' season (or at least yanked off by Chris Johnson). That means there's a good chance that Jake Locker will be leading the charge into Houston this week. If the Texans have nothing to play for, though, he might be leading them into battle against Matt Leinart and company. I'm an optimistic fellow, so I'm going to mark this down as the most satisfying loss in Texans history.
So there you have it. The Texans will finish this season at 11-5 and propel themselves into the first postseason berth in team history. Enjoy!

Nobody but us would say it was the same
since it isn’t the same franchise that lost to them. But it will be cathartic just the same if it comes down that way.

I don't care if it's the same franchise.
The city of Houston suffered through that horrendous game; Bud Adams can sit on a big fat one. We’re getting a bit ahead of ourselves, but if all this comes to pass and we manage to knock the Bills out of the playoffs, that will indeed be cathartic.

I remember after that game was over
the news was reporting so many arrests around the city related to post-game anger. Numbers of people assaulting others. They arrested this one guy, who, at the final gun, pulled an automatic and emptied the clip into his TV. Several of the bullets traveled through the back of the TV, through the wall into the next apartment, barely missing people who were there. Stuff like that.

i wanna drink the kewlaid, HOWEVER
vega, you are forgetting this team plays in houston and they have not shown anything yet in terms of winning while ahead. So i am chalking up at least TWO because-we-are-the-texans losses on top of what you had.
slip up against CAR and @TB…but i dont think they lose to TEN in my hypothetical world.
10-6 sadly, but hoping for 12-4
said this before, they have to run the table before the bye to prove it for them and houston that this year is really different.
2011 Season is the Reason!!!
Even if
we don’t have anything to play for aside from pride in our last game against the BESFs (which I think is wrong, we hold a tiebreaker against the Steelers so if we both end up at 12-4 well…ya) I don’t see Gary throwing that game away. For a franchise that has one winning season, that has never been to the playoffs, I think you try to get every win possible, even if it is meaningless in the standings. I also see us more likely to lose at Tampa than lose to the Falcons (who are simply mediocre at everything and are an inferior team on the road versus at home). Tampa is so schizoid they can throw a serious effort out seemingly at random, perhaps boosted by their home crowd.
God is not on our side because he hates idiots also.

I came to say exactly this
For the fans, the difference between 11-5 and 12-4 would be enourmous. For a coach that routinely finds himself swirling around the hot seat, I can’t imagine Kubiak not putting the biggest exclamation point possible on this season.
Keeping with the premise that the last game is meaningless
I would think that playing the game with a full squad just to make the fanbase happy and put an exclamation point on the season would be a mistake.
Keeping everyone healthy and winning a playoff game would be a far bigger exclamation point.

I also doubt that the
Dwayne Brown non punch that the Jags have been crying about all week will be enough to make any difference on the field in the next game with them, but it might be enough to let the Jags legitimately sell out a home game! Obviously the tarps will still have to cover the upper decks, but maybe the team won’t have to buy any tickets to avoid a backout!
Probably a two or a three.
I think it depends on the AFC East. I’m working under the assumption the AFC North winner will get the first seed (12-4 or so) and the AFC West winner will be 9-7 or 8-8. The AFC East is three deep and all three teams have debilitating weaknesses, so it’s really hard to say how that division will end up.

It's all about the health of 'Dre
This offense looks anemic at times because opposing secondaries don’t have to favor one side of the field right now. I’m hoping ’Dre is healthy after the bye and will fix the current inconsistencies with this unit. And here is to Mason learning the offense by the time Dre returns and becomes another option in the passing game. Houston has to stretch the field a bit in order for the TE packages to be effective.
I’m not too concerned about the defense with the exception of Carolina and Atlanta. Other than that, the defense should still be solid in stopping the other remaining opponents.
With a healthy ’Dre starting in Week 11 = 12-4.
With a 80% ’Dre the rest of the way = 11-5
With no ’Dre = 10-6

Great write up!
I see us dropping the Tampa game with mistakes on offense and a couple of brain dead defensive penalties that keep drives alive in a nail biter that should have been a controlled win. Atlanta at Reliant will be the “pay me Rick” payback game vs Dunata…welcome home, now GTFO and take those losing birds with you.
I’m betting 12-4 with a first round bye. Then we host the Ravens in our first franchise playoff game and we deliver a cold serving of revenge for a victory. Then we face the Patriots and torch them into oblivion, and head to the big show against the defending champs from Green Bay.
