to the people saying rg3 doesnt throw as many picks as newton did his first year. it’s because rg3 only throws bubble screens and slant throws 5 yards in front of him which turn into large YAC which inflate his overrated stats.

It’s funny but I remember hearing and reading the same stuff about the Saints the year we won the super bowl. Frist it was the fact that we weren’t playing anyone. And, once we got into the playoffs it was we would be one and done. And, then it was the vikings were going to kill us. And, finally in the Super Bowl Payton and the Colts were suppose to kill us.

Of course Texans fans once you win the Super Bowl you’ll still have to defend yoursleves * But, trust me those of you who think you know about football. This is probably the best football team I’ve seen in the past ten years. And, what makes them dangerous is thier run game. If you can run the ball the way they can you have the ability to control the flow of the game. That means that they don’t need the QB to carry the team. But, with AJ they have the ability to get explosive plays. This team is old school good

The NFC has been better than the AFC for quite some time now, this isn’t anything new

I love it. Just keep it up TexAnnes. Then the massive collapse will be that much more noticeable. A Kubiak team has Zero chance of going anywhere in the playoffs. New England is licking their chops. HaHa.

I’m a Raven fan and if I were the Texans I wouldn’t get to high. The Ravens stink with a Capitol “S”.

I love my Ravens but; it is what it is. They are awful, I was ashamed yesterday watching that spanking. The Texans are good SB ah not so much.

This line says it all about Shurmur: “Shurmur is coaching for his job right now, and these are the decisions that get coaches fired.”

He is in over his head. I thought the same thing with that 4th and 1 play. You are on the right side of the field, you need to go for it or heck, kick a field goal, but don’t just give up! I was ready to turn the TV off at that point!

Nobody in the NFC can play defense…look at the Giants getting scored on left and right…the Pack? all offense. Niners have the defense, but Alex Smith at QB? Get real. Falcons? Let me know when they win a playoff game… at home, or otherwise.
Texans are the most balanced team in the NFL. period. They can beat you with the run, pass and defense.

Texans will get better as the year goes on because they have two new starters on the offensive line. Will run the ball better by the time the playoffs start.

The Texans aren’t going to win anything. They’ll lose their first playoff game. There’s just always been something missing from that team, and until yesterday, they had been playing down to their competition if anything.

Mavajo, did you watch the 07 season? The best teams don’t usually win. That’s why we say “Any Given Sunday” in the NFL. This is not college.

To all those saying the Texans are paper champions….

Who else this year has beaten a 5-1 team by 30pts?

Texans haven’t won anything yet, but to say this isn’t a really good/great team is just dumb. And to be honest, with the AFC definitely lagging the NFC so much this year, the Texans will have a much easier road to the Big Easy than anyone in the NFC.

To all the Texans fans, I originally from New Orleans so I know the places you should go and shouldn’t. Being a life long Saints fan there’s only one other thing I can tell you. Enjoy the ride. It’s going to be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“It’s the Texans and everyone else in the AFC”
————————————————–
It is the Texans, but it is not EVERYONE else in the AFC.
The Raiders, Browns, Jags, & Chiefs have no shot.

The Texans did not beat the Ravens OF old this week they beat the Ravens that ARE old.

The difference between RGIII and Cam Newton is that RGIII takes care of the football. RGIII is a good QB who just so happens to be a world class sprinter. Cam is an incredible football talent who still needs to learn how to be a QB.

Texans Defense DOMINATED the Ravens Offense. PERIOD!

Texans control their own destiny for #1 seed.

Ready to welcome the Bills to Reliant in 2 weeks. or “Judgement Day” as Mario Williams calls it.

lol the Texans…

So when the Pats beat them later on this season, will they still be the best AFC team?? I’ve said it for years now and its always been true. As long as Schaub is their QB, they will not make it to the Superbowl.

Oh, great, it’s the yearly Week 7 champions. Nobody knows where the Super Bowl will be going through except for where it will be played right now. Just because a team has a great regular season record and looks good now does NOT mean they will even make it through the playoffs to the Super Bowl. Or even win it. I’ve learn to accept this as a Patriots fan. Why do people do this year in and year out with examples in the recent past that say otherwise? The Giants (twice) and the Packers come to mind immediately. Just get into the playoffs and another mentality takes over. Anyone can win.

The jets taught us Pats fan two years ago never crown a team champs during the regular season. We throttled them 45 to 3 during the regular season, but gave my Pats a beating in the playoffs. Thereby, irrespective of how good they may presently look, it’s absurd to say they will present the afc in the SB. One thing you people should not forget is that my Pats, Ravens, Steelers, and even the Broncos now with P. Manning know what it takes to win in the playoffs and are much more experienced than the texans. I would bet my money on any of the aforementioned teams before I would on the texans come the playoffs.

The Steelers figured in out and its not going to be pretty for their competition the rest of the way. They have a freight train running back and and O line that can kick ass and they are going to use it the rest of the way with some passing thrown in.
They literally kicked Cincy’s ass last night from a physical standpoint. This team is going to be right in the thick of the playoffs this year.

the texans have a cakewalk schedule. they should finish at least 13-3 and take homefield.

Is seven weeks into the season too early to declare home-field advantage wrapped up? Probably. But let’s be real about the state of the NFC right now: It’s the Falcons and everyone else.

Patriots, Steelers, Broncos will have a say by the end of the year. Each have QBs that can beat you and Baltimore does not.

To be fair, Griffin hasn’t thrown anywhere as many interceptions as Newton in his first year.

Unlike baseball where we get a series to tell who the better teams are, in football we only get a single game to tell. What this article assumes is that if the houston-baltimore game were to be played out as a series it would end this way each time, which is not likely. It just shows that Baltimore is a much different team with the lead than playing from behind.

Everyone knows Flacco is bad on the road. Playing against a solid defense just emphasizes that point: Joe Flacco’s Total QBR, a metric that accounts for everything a QB does, was 0.3 on the 0-100 scale, the lowest rating for any QB since 2008
