Texans In 2006: What Will Our W-L Be?

WWJD said:
The Cowboys played Denver this year on Thanksgiving. AFC team. I think it's flipped every year so next year it will be an NFC opponent. But they do play AFC teams on Thanksgiving.

I'm talking about the Lions play an AFC team this season (2006) on Thanksgiving Day and every even year. The Cowboys host an AFC team on Thanksgiving Day on odd years. Unfortunately we play in Dallas every 8 years and every time it will be an even year.

I think teams play each other every 4 years when they are in different divisions. Next year the Texans play NFC EAST teams. I think they will do so again in 4 years. If it's 8 years I apologize....you could be right but I thought it was every 4 years.
 
It's still January and we couldn't beat the 49'ers a few weeks ago. as of RIGHT now....4-12.
 
man this is too easy...we're going 16-0 with 16 forfeits..then we win the 2 playoff games by forfeit and the superbowl by forfeit...vince young is simply too good for eveyone...nobody wants to be shamed on the field by him...he is a true leader and a know doubt vince of famer



comments do not directly represent the feelings of spoda..just t-sipping fools

Hmmm lets see a:
new coach in his first season as coach
2 new cordinators in their first year as cordinators
a rookie qb or rookie rb expected to save franchise
possibility carr is out of gas
new players and new system for existing players
high expectations
cass still around

I see 4 to 5 wins at best
5 to 7 in the next
8 to 9 in he next
Carr walks as an UFA and the Titans win a SB with VY.

I've changed my mind. Take the above mentioned and deduct a # on each comparison.

I would just like to take a moment to point out the hypocrisy in this.

I asked for opinions, we are after all Texans fans and we are here to talk football.

So it is too early to ballpark how the Texans will perform in '06, and yet it's not too early to predict that:

- Vince Young will redefine the face of the NFL, own the record books, win Super Bowls, and make it to the Hall of Fame?
- Reggie Bush can score a TD everytime he touches the ball on his way to 2,000 all purpose yards in his rookie season?

Tell me which of those three predictions is the least of a stretch?

Unbelievable. If you want to participate, then do so, if not, take your Vince/Reggie mania elsewhere.

Please?

..so far, before this most, you are the only one that mentioned both Young and Bush--one other poster mentioned Bush--sensitvity is not a substitute for accuracy

Once again, we are looking at some tough, tough games on our schedule in 06. However, while I initially reviewed this list and was thinking "my damn, the league hates us" ... on closer review, we have a lot of lemons in this mix as well.

Our 06 opponents, and their 05 W/L:

Buffalo (5-11)
Cleveland (6-10)
Indianapolis x2 (14-2)
Jacksonville x2 (12-4)
Tennessee x2 (4-12)
Philadelphia (6-10)
Washington (10-6)
Dallas (9-7)
Miami (9-7)
NY Giants (11-5)
NY Jets (4-12)
Oakland (4-12)

Making our '05 strength of schedule, coming into '06:

124-112. (.525) (EDIT: I didn't double count our division opponents the first time: this is the correct # and %)

Interesting: so it's not so big and bad after all.

Point: It is speculation, I know, since there are so many variables that remain in this equation, but I would like to talk about something involving this team other than Vince Young or Reggie Bush. So I thought I would pose the question: what are your current expectations for this team in the upcoming season?

Assuming the things that you reasonably expect this franchise to do in the offseason, and feel free to be as detailed as you would like.

***

My fearless prediction: bring in Kubiak, productive offseason, excitement and belief in new leadership, Carr begins to emerge, O-line holds up, defense is revamped, and we go:

9-7.

You must be dreaming. Kubiak will improve the team -- if you want to call it that -- to 3-13, maybe 4-12. Houston has the chance to beat the Jets, Raiders, Cleveland and perhaps at home vs. Tenn. After that, I wouldn't expect much -- if anything. I predict by the end of the season you will want Kubiak to be fired if you really expect a 9-7 season.

History shows the odds are much more in favor of a greater than 2 game record change than only a 1 or two game change. But thanks for the hopeful words from the Titans' perspective.
