For either team. It's impossible to know who will be in or out in these late season games. The Texans have to face these teams. These teams must face the Texans. Want to feel sorry for a team (I don't), then feel sorry for the Ravens. There are no bottom dwelling Titans, Broncos, or Patriots in the AFC North.
I saw that the Texans have the 3rd hardest schedule based on strength of schedule.
That last little stretch right after the bye week is going to be brutal. I sure hope we’re healthier this year.
It’s definitely a contenders schedule.
I doubt the Texans will be any healthier than game 1. If the Colts thought they were in a fight in week 18 last year, wait until they get a load of this bunch.
It's brutal. But the Chiefs and Ravens are in the same boat. As long as there is no advantage, it's all good. Ryans and his guys aren't the type to make excuses.
You do know there are only 3 different opponents?
So it's not 3 games?
why so argumentative? I wasn't debating the number of games. I was just highlighting that those three games make a significant impact on the schedule. And, further suggesting possible reasons why fans may react to this year's schedule with concern.
I'm sorry, not trying to be argumentative. Just trying to point out that it's only 3 out of 17. Last year at this time anyone looking that had the Texans or Colts on their schedule instead of Titans or Jags thought they were getting an easier schedule. My point is that last years results really don't mean squat. Each team has to play 17 tough games. Winning is not easy
There's no stretch of road games. We only have one back to back away games.
The "strength of schedule" stuff or who the Texans are playing might not matter, but the "when" they play certainly does. How many short weeks, or how many teams do they play coming off a bye week. Things like that matter. The parity that exists in the NFL makes most games competitive. Any given Sunday.
Stick around. You post good stuff. Put the A-holes on ignore. That's what I do.
I would prefer to play the stronger teams earlier in the season as the Texans will be healthier overall. A win in November/December counts just as much as one in September/October. Playing tougher teams later in the season completely derailed the Dolphins last season.
Say old school we have to have tougher skin than this. JB was only making a valid point in which he explained on his last response to you.
It's all written by retard A.I these people these days.
I haven't made a big deal about it in this thread, but I also hate prime time games.
It’s a job in which these players are getting paid hand over fist. Yes it can be taxing but guess what they’re not out here working a graveyard shift.I like the SNF and MNF football prime-time games, especially on Sunday night. I have no problem with those. My beef is the Thu...and now Fri and Wed games. I hate those games. That is terrible for highly tuned athletes in a physical sport. As a fan, I don't think the quality of play is as high either, and I have no data to substantiate it, but it just seems logical there is a higher chance for an injury. There also starts to be a "too much of a good thing" impact, and it waters down the impact.
It's like one pair of nice boobs every weekend and then suddenly getting 10 pairs of nice boobs in your face. Wait, that's a terrible analogy.

Not that those records mean anything. Just thought I'd throw those out there for anyone interested.
Having lived in Minnesota for 12 years, I really hope the Texans can finally beat those guys. I still have friends up there and in Wisconsin, too as I lived on the border of those two states. For whatever reason, my Packer friends are humble, but my Vikings friends talk a lot of trash about always beating the Texans. It's gotten really old.
I hope the kid succeeds but loses to the Texans. I think the same of all football players. Success against everyone but the Texans.
I believe that it would help the Texans if they started the season with a W for a change. It would give them a winning streak to build on right away. Having to go into Lucas Oil Stadium right off the bat doesn't do the Texans any favors to make that task any easier. The Colts will also be at their healthiest on Week 1 as well, and at home.
Except one team has a top 5 qb (based off last season). This is a new feeling for a lot of us Texan fans. We can go into every game unbothered because we have an elite qb. Feels awesome
I'll be going to the HOF game. I live about half an hour north of Canton. I would really like to get AJ to sign my 80 jersey.
It is a tough schedule...at least at the moment it looks tough.
Speaking about the coming out flat part I disagree. DeMeco did a great job but 2 of our losses were to the Jets and Panthers. We definitely didn’t come to play in those games
Yep, you're right. I guess my brain erased those games from my memory. CJ had some real stinkers. He had 91 passing yards in the Jets game and the defense got torched by Zach Wilson. In the Panthers game the defense came to play. The offense overall was terrible, no excusing that performance. CJ was mediocre at best as was Singletary. In addition to the Jets and Panthers they lost to the Falcons.
The Texans were a great story in 2023, hopefully they'll be a great team in 2024
I can't, at the moment, recall the Jets game, but I remember that in the Carolina game their defensive line was getting tons of pressure with their front 4. All QBs suffer when they're constantly under pressure.
The Texans clinched a playoff spot with the win over the Colts in week 18. They won the division after the Jags choked in Nashville the next day. No backing in, the Texans earned their playoff spot.
Saw this elsewhere and thought it was fairly interesting. It's the rest differential for each opponent we face throughout the season.
