How will the Houston texans do?

Question

with all the diff changes in QB and other positions, any body got a prediction on the season? playoff chance at all?

Answer 1

They are in a tough division. Jacksonville seems to put up 8-10 wins a season, indy will win at least 9 ( they have gotten worse in the off season). Here is their schedule and how I think it will go:
KC (L)
Carolina (L)
Indy (L)
Atlanta (W)
Miami (W)
Jacksonville (W) -they just have their number recently
Tennessee (W)
San Diego (L)
Oakland (W)
New Orleans (W)
Cleveland (W)
Tennessee (L)
Tampa Bay (L)
Denver (L)
Indy (L)
Jacksonville (L)

7-9 best record in franchise history and a great stepping stone for the future.
Go Texans Go!!!!!!!

I am a fan but with all that said we need a receiver to step up and help Johnson, and that front 4 to create some pressure!

Answer 2

First let me get this out of the way.
I thought they were gonna draft Brady Quinn. They drafted some tall and big boys on OL and D.
I just looked at their schedule for the upcoming season.
Unless the changes that are made during off-season and up to the start of the season turn out to be spectacular and are the changes that will be pro-bowl caliber starters and instantly transform them into contenders, they’ll have a dismal season; probably the same as last year; OR WORSE.
No playoffs for you.
I’d like to be wrong tho.
With a few breaks, they could be this season’s New Orleans. But don’t forget that they’re in the same division as the Colts.

Answer 3

Considering all the free agents moves they made with Matt Shuabb and Ahman Green etc... i'd say they go 7-9 missing the playoffs by two games. Heres why:

Yes Matt Shuabb has looked good in limited playing time, but the jury is still out on whether he can produce for a full season like that, not to mention learning a new offense in Gary Kubiak/Mike Sherman's system. Ahman Green should be comfortable in the zone blocking scheme after having a year to learn it in Green Bay, but he will need to be spelled here and their to get full production from him.

The defense was a little suspect last year. Yes Demeco Ryans was terrific and Daunte Robinson is a young but very good cornerback. But after that the defense fell off. Mario Williams wasn't the dominant force everyone made it out to be. The secondary is in question with no real stars back thereaside from Robinson.

Bottom Line: They will be better, but with a few weaknesses still and too many contenders in the AFC South (pretty much all of them if Tennessee can repeat what it did last year) and in the AFC in general, but Gary Kubiak has got this team in the right direction.

Answer 4

Not So well...Even though they got a beast in the draft, who will become a true NFL great, we won't see much or should I say won't expect much from the 19 yr old. The reason they suck so bad is mainly their O-line, David Carr wasn't as bad as everyone says he is, he just played behind a crappy o-line that couldn't protect their QB, just look at Oakland with all that talent, screwed Aaron Brooks by making him look worse than he is. Schaub might do better, but no one knows what he will do at all. The only thing that has a glimmer of hope for them is Big Boy Johnson..Look for another top season passing 1,000 yds easily. Probably a big upset against the Colts again hahaha, they might go 7-9 or 8-8, thats all.

Answer 5

They look like they should win 5 or 6 games this season. They have no O line and it won't matter who is the QB he will be running for his life. Which also means that the running game will suffer as well. They had better start buiding an O-line if they ever want to make the playoffs.

Answer 6

6-10, no chance at all for the playoffs. You could put Joe Montana behind that o-line and still not have a winning team. They can't hold a block long enough for any plays that don't develop right away, so that limits the entire playbook. Schaub can't move nearly as well as Carr and will be playing from his back for a good part of the season.

Answer 7

I am not even sure the Texans will be the best football team in Houston this year. Too many changes to have a good season this year. UH and Rice would give them a battle. My guess is 4-12. And I really hope that I am wrong.

Answer 8

They won´t be as bad as they were last year but not so great they will probably be around .500 like 7-9 or 8-8 but not much better they still don´t have a great offensive line but if Dominick Davis has a healthy season for once they will be some tough competition.

Answer 9

This doesn't look like a playoff team to me. Good coach but not enough players to be a serious contender now. 6-10 would be very good for the Texans. I think they need a new front office.

Answer 10

They are my dark horse team. I honestly think that they have the DROY in Okoye and their defense will be better than people think. They could put a scare in many teams, but there is no way they could win thier division with Peyton Manning and the Colts. However, there is a good chance that they could go 9-7 and possibly take a wild card spot.
