2-0 Jake!

It looks like you guys are a 7-9 to 9-7 team which is quite an improvement over last year.

Yeah but honestly, 7-9 isn't that great of an improvement over last year. The Texans had a much better team than the record showed with a handful of games that they lost on the last play of the game etc. So you won't see anyone in Houston feeling great if they can only get 7 wins and I can assure you, I personally won't feel that it is an improvement.

You are what your record says you are. How you look and when you technically lose the games doesn't count and is the fandom/land of greater wishes getting the better of you. If you were better than a 2 win team you would have won more than 2 games. 2 win teams blow leads, make mistakes and lose games they shouldn't. That is what makes them a 2 win team.

Plus if you are going to use that criteria to judge your team I hope you are using how you "look" when you win. You won some games in 2012 you had no business of winning and should have been an 8-8 or 9-7 team at best. You did win them however so in 2012 you were a 12 win team.

If you think 7-9 (which is over 300% better) isn't a huge improvement, how would like 10 more years of 2 to 4 wins? Raider fans would die for a 7 or 8 win season.

I'm not disagreeing with you at all. I'm just saying if you think a 7-9 season is going to be a reason to celebrate, then you are mistaken. The Texans were a favorite to play in the Super Bowl last year and injuries and poor QB play ruined that. This year the Texans are much healthier (Arian Foster is reason enough) and you can't argue that our QB play is any worse than you would have expected from Schaub so winning 7+ games this year is what is expected. Looking at their schedule they should absolutely beat the Titans, Titans, Jaguars and Jaguars again which puts them at 7 wins. That leaves them playing the Eagles, Bengals, and Ravens at home, with their only tough matchups away being against the Colts and Browns. Eagles will win unless the Texans get to Foles, I think the Bengals and Ravens lose and I could see the Texans beating the Browns as well. I would say there is no way they beat the Colts in Indy but for some reason those games are always crazy. Now granted, I'm not saying the Texans go 11-5, but anything less than 8-8 is still a pretty big disappointment in my opinion.
