Houston played 2 elite teams

[Frisco]

Baltimore, Denver, and Chicago.....

Take Chicago out of that list ASAP. Balty is overrated and it was the week after Webb and Lewis went down. Denver was a solid win on the road but general consensus is that Broncs are better now than they were then.

But at the time when Houston played Chicago, they were a top 6-8 team. And when they beat Baltimore, Baltimore had most of their defensive pieces there (Lewis, Webb, Smith).

Chicago's perception was way too high early on. The Texans game was the 1st game all of those key defensive players were missing. Also, Balt doesn't have the QB it takes to take advantage of Houstons defensive weakness so they were walking into an a** whooping that week

And they struggled to beat Chicago with Jason Campbell playing the entire 2nd half

Paco you know Houston will probably beat New England in January right?

Why do you think that? When gronk comes back, they'll have another legit receiver, but more importantly another great blocker for the run game. The pats showed how tough they are gonna be to beat once they establish the run game, look at how hard the texans bit on the play action. with talib as a legit corner, mccourtey is able to play safety where he actually belongs. I understand the texans defense might be a little banged up, but the pats are only gonna get better once gronk comes back
