2022 Texans Schedule
- Thread starter gwallaia
- Start date
Cowboys & Titans I understand. But Eagles?
Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought that the Texans haven't beaten the Eagles yet?
Yes. You’re right about that. Eagles & Vikings, Texans never beat them.

The Oilers never beat the Eagles either.
On the one hand we act like 10 wins mean something. On the other we say a 12 win season was meaningless & the Texans were pretenders or paper tigers.
Our schedule may be tougher than it was last year, I don't know. But I see 9 games against bad teams & I wouldn't be surprised if the Texans catch a few good teams at the right time.
I'm not saying they're going to win 10 games, but I'm asking, if they did, would it mean anything?

It would mean we're a team showing improvement. Going from 4 wins to 10 wins means you're doing something better.
And you'll be getting lower round draft choices. But I don't believe we've improved enough to get to 10 wins this season anyway. I think our absolute ceiling this season is 7, maybe 8, and a 3rd place finish in the AFC south.

Stopping the run is going to be a big deal. Playing a lot of teams with good run games. Eagles, Cowboys, Washington, Cleveland. Hell, in our own division there's Indy and Tennessee, and with Etienne back with the Jags, they should be better. That's 10 games right there.
And that's not even mentioning the QBs they go up against. Ryan (twice), Herbert (yes I know he was beaten last year), Mahommes, Prescott, Carr, Wilson, and maybe Watson. That's 14 games against good run games, tier 1-2 QBs, or both.
And this was a Lovie Smith defense that was 31st in rush yards allowed, 31st in rush TD allowed, 26th rush yards per carry, and gave up the 6th most points in the league, last year.
Never mind what we get out of the offense, this schedule is going to be tough if the defense can't get up off the bottom.

Hold up wasn’t you clamoring about us not having talent. But you want to highlight that was a Lovie’s defense. And are we not going to factoring in the fact the offense not being able to get past the 50 yard line in quite a few of those games. Even after that defense forced turnovers. Those numbers do not tell the full story.
It would probably mean Mills played at a high level consistently for the entire season and the young draft picks were difference makers from day 1.
I just looked at that link that you posted. The Texans are 2-10 against the state of Pennsylvania. That
Even more reason why I want to see the Houston team beat Philly for once. Houston fans have witnessed so many terrible losses at the hands of those teams from Pennsylvania. I was in the Astrodome back in December of 1991 when I saw the Oilers lose to the Eagles by a score (if I remember correctly) of 13-6.
Yep, Moon had that deer in the headlights look.

I think this is only the 2nd time I can recall the Texans sos being sub .500 since 2006.

SOS from last year’s records doesn’t really mean much. The Texans have the 3 win Jags twice, and the 4 win Jets and Giants in that equation. Some of that could change. Are the Browns going to be sub .500? I suspect the AFC west will have 3 teams near 10 wins or better again.
Interesting to see what their SOS was before the season last year, and what it ended up being.
Please check it out!I've always wanted to check out JerryWorld. Maybe that'd be a fun game to check out.

I've been thinking about going to that one too
Of course I will be there starting out early on West Plaza and staying late, same place. Hope you guys have a great experience, win or lose.
