The whole AFC is banged up. Patriots, Texans, Ravens, all of these teams’ depth is being tested.

Hopefully every team gets healthy for the postseason, things should be decided when all of these teams can field the best lineups they can.

I’m a Ravens fan. I remember when we used to beat the Texans pretty easily but now they’re the best ACT team and possibly in the NFL. I personally think a depleted defense is worse than a depleted offense. Look at my Ravens. We’ve always had an average offense but our defense was above average. Now that our defense has fallen off we’re not the same team.

Yeah the Texans D hasn’t been the same without Cushing…

But I love what Mercilus is doing! Brooks Reed better get healthy… quick! And Barwin is officially on notice. Mercilus has played a fraction of what they have played and has more sacks than both of them combined…

No problem. They only have the Patriots coming up. They don’t throw over the middle… right?

Next man up is great, but we’re so depleted that the next man up for corners on Sunday was Posey, the rookie wide receiver. I hope we’ve got someone we can pull up from the practice squad (or that Posey starts getting some snaps on D). . .

“The Texans defense hasn’t really missed a beat”.

Really? I guess you missed the Jags and Lions game LOL.

They are hurting on D right now! McCain left early so basically you had 2 starting CBs out and Ball didn’t play who is the first backup. Then starting two ILBs that are not the starters at the start of the season, one just his 2nd game back from PUP. Starting a rookie in place of the starting OLB. That is 5 starters out of the game. Hopefully we can get J Jo back, but even if he does he won’t be 100%.

Last year was offense with the big injuries, this year it seems to be the D. But you won’t hear any of the Texans whining about it.

Not sure how good the Texans other corners are at covering the slot but losing you’re starting slot corner a week before you play Wes Welker is unwelcome news.
