2-4 would be hard to overcome. If we lose to Oak, the paper bags are coming out.
Re: If we go 1-2 next 3, is season over?
here is how i see it play out
wk4 Oak @ Hou - W i think we got this Raiders on the road omn paper this is the worst team we have faced so far .... On paper so u never now tho LOL
wk5 Hou @ ARZ- L they are coming off a bye and iam sure they will light us up on the scorboard just like they did JAX
wk6 Hou @ Cincy- and this is the homer in me and think after we lose to ARZ the Light goes off in our head we finally turn this team around fix the D and then star winning
wk7 San fran @ Hou-W
wk8 Hou @ Bufflo-W
5-3 going into NOV/DEC months we really ball out
No. They'll still be fun to watch...on offense anyway.

Yep, plus it's the football season in general. I might complain about this team, but I don't let it bother me to the extent of ruining the football season. High School, College and the rest of the NFL easily makes up for a crappy home team. Heck, I even watch my nephew play in Little League football almost every Saturday.
No. There would still be 10 games left.
I'm glad those math classes are paying off for you, Bill.

And you can kiss the wild card goodbye, with Pitt, Cincy and Bal from the North, and the Jets and Pats coming out of the east.

You're funny
You gotta be kiidin me? You must not keep up with these teams, Cincy just beat Pitt, San Fran lost to Minn by an incredible catch, Buffalo has vastly improved. All four are losses...and I freakin luv our guys, we put up 30 on every team but if the other team puts up 31 we lose. Our DEF is the absolute worst in the league.
We are 2-6 going into Nov/Dec...hate to be the bearer of bad news

It's how the 1993 Oilers started their season. Here's how the rest of the season went.
Note the points allowed by the defense in the first 5 games (KC was an anomaly), and the improvement in the last 11. Have a little faith, and maybe - JUST MAYBE - the defense will come around. 1-2 is not the end of the season. In '93, Oilers fans were reacting the same way, "FIRE PARDEE!" "DEFENSE SUCKS!" "WE'RE GOING 4-12!"
Hang in there, people...
After coming into the season as a dark-horse candidate to win the AFC South and make their first playoff appearance, the Houston Texans are off to a slow start thanks to their inability to stop other teams.
Defense hasn't been much of a problem for the Oakland Raiders' opponents so far.
The Texans hope their league-worst defense can start to find some answers against one of the NFL's least productive offenses when they host the Raiders on Sunday.
Houston (1-2) matched the best record in franchise history at 8-8 last season and expected to make the leap to contender in 2009. To follow through on those plans, however, it will likely need to address the gaping holes in its defense.
The Texans are giving up a league-high 436.3 yards per game, nearly 100 more than their average from last season. They've been particularly vulnerable against the run, ranking last in the NFL by allowing 204.7 yards per game. Only four other teams are giving up more than 150.
Houston surrendered 184 rushing yards and four touchdown runs in a 31-24 home loss to previously winless Jacksonville last Sunday.
"It's something we're stumped with right now as coaches, but it's our job to figure that out," Texans coach Gary Kubiak said. "They're our guys. We got to have them in position to make those plays and have them doing the same thing consistently. Obviously we did not do that."
Kubiak's defense has been consistently frustrated on third down, letting opponents convert 50 percent of the time - tied for second-worst in the league. It allowed plays of 17, 10, 16 and 28 yards on third downs against the Jaguars, one week after giving up touchdown runs of 57 and 91 yards on third and long in a 34-31 win over Tennessee.
"When it's third and long, we've got to get off the football field," cornerback Dunta Robinson said. "Third week in a row, we're singing the same song. The players have to get it fixed. (Defensive coordinator) Frank Bush is putting us in great situations. We're not going out there and taking care of our business."
The Texans appear to have a good chance of solving some of their defensive woes against the Raiders (1-2). Oakland ranks 31st out of 32 teams with 223.0 yards per game and 30th with 12.0 points per contest. After a relatively strong showing in a season-opening defeat, the Raiders have averaged 151.5 yards and 8.0 points.
JaMarcus Russell has taken much of the blame for Oakland's rough start. The first overall pick of the 2007 draft is the NFL's lowest-rated passer, completing a league-low 41.3 percent of his throws for 378 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions. He was 12 for 21 for 61 yards, no TDs and two picks in last Sunday's 23-3 home loss to Denver.
Coach Tom Cable doesn't think it's fair to make Russell the scapegoat and isn't ready to make a quarterback change.
"I know it's on everyone's mind," Cable said. "I think right now, the big picture is for this team to clean up a lot of areas. If that was the only area that I thought really needed to be changed, then it's easy, but it's not."
Russell's play was far from the only negative in the loss to the Broncos. While Oakland's running backs averaged 3.7 yards per carry, the defense gave up 215 yards rushing, put no pressure on Kyle Orton and struggled at times in pass coverage.
"It's too easy just to blame one guy and say that's a problem," said Cable, whose team committed three turnovers and was outgained 372-137 overall.
"Let's stop the run, let's run the ball better, let's tackle better, let's be more explosive on special teams, let's play better at quarterback, let's have better ball security. I mean, you start looking at the issues here and in particular to (Sunday), there's enough work for all of us."
The Raiders lost their first three meetings with the Texans before a 27-16 home victory last season. Russell delivered one of the best performances of his young career, going 18 for 25 for 236 yards, two TDs and no picks.
Houston quarterback Matt Schaub, who's totaled 657 yards, seven touchdowns and one interception over his last two games, was 19 for 36 with no TDs and one pick against Oakland last season.
All five of those games are winnable, but Frisco creates the toughest because of the strength of their run game. As far as Cincy beating the Steelers, "any given Sunday". They're not as good as their record. I could see us going 4-1 over that stretch, but I could also see us going 1-4 if the defense doesn't turn it around FAST. A shootout in Arizona could be fun.
You're right........ Cincy only beat the hell out of Green Bay and sacked Arron Rodgers 5 times in one game but its definitely an any given Sunday situation...KOOLAID!
They sacked Rodgers 5 times because Green Bay's perennial pro-bowl LT went down.
Okay, they beat the reigning Super Bowl champions this past Sunday. I think there's plenty of proof between beating GB and Pittsburgh that playing against Cincy ain't a walk in the park.
Agreed there. Neither is Cincy such a dominate team that everyone should be marking them down as a sure fire loss. And I happened to have a pair of die hard Steeler fans with me at the game last week and they are not impressed at all with the way the Steelers are playing.
He does. They use him in the box and teams don't like passing his way. The Steelers can't run the ball either...and that's a huge issue.Yeah, it kinda makes you wonder if Polamalu truly makes that defense click.

this may be your weakest post yet Mr Kubiak. The 93 Oilers were LOADED and were 11-5, 10-6, 12-4 in this 3 year stretch and went to the playoffs 7 years straight (6 years in a row before this season). Nothing about the Texans resemble that squad.This familiar to anyone?

I don't know what song the rest of the defense is singing, D.Rob, but I know the one that you're singing all year: "Gimme Some Money"
Why would we go 1-2, the next stretch is entirely winnable.
get over it cry baby.
i thought yall wanted the playoffs?
no one doesnt even compete with him @ cb, and the front 7 is sure isnt helping.
