Yes. I'd much rather play the Broncos or even the Pats than the Texans though the former is obviously unlikely.

You know Im a Jets hater, but I think the Jets could go in there and win. That QB vs your D plus an injured Johnson would be the recipe for a Jets W. I cant believe your saying you would rather face NE then the Texans. Lets see the Texans do something in the playoffs with a rookie QB, and banged up superstar WR and a team of guys who have never been here before.

Not having Andre Johnson has not hurt the team nearly as much as people who don't watch their games think it would.

You dont think it will hurt in the playoffs? Since when do teams with rookie QB's and injured superstars make deep playoff runs? Am I making this up?

First of all, he's day-to-day, so it's a pointless conversation. He will most likely be active for the final 2 games.

Losing Schaub is NOTHING like losing a top level QB. I'm not saying TJ Yates is on his level, but the way the Texans are constructed makes them able to withstand an injury to a QB. Like Joey said, they are a run first team with a controlled passing game. They have not been a pass-happy team at all this year, mostly because Schaub simply isn't good enough for that. Having had the same 5 guys on the OL for every single play this year has been huge for the team.

They could easily lose to the Jets in the first round because of inexperience, the fact that the Jets are playoff seasoned, or many other reasons. But, I'd bet against any of those reasons being not having Schaub or Johnson.

Who cares if hes day to day? 1 hamstring is hurt all year, then he comes back and the next 1 goes. Hes banged up. Injury prone, whatever you want to call it. I know Houston is good, I also know they have no playoff experience at all. I also know they have a rookie QB and not a highly touted rookie either. Yes he did look good vs the Bengals though. There will be 6 playoff teams in the AFC Houston and Denver are so much less experienced then the other 4 it almost feels unfair. Im not sold on Houston, I think they are 1 and done this year. BTW whos your team?

No. But hes hurt. He was hurt, then comes back and gets hurt again. These injuries just dont go away.

hammy injuries suck. they take forever to feel 100% from. Groin pulls are the same way.

How's Mario Williams done this year? injured or playing?

I havent followed the Texans one bit this season.

Of course to Denver, but maybe to NE. They were the worse looking 7 pt winner I saw yesterday, but still think in the playoffs I'd rather face Yates than Brady, no matter what the other pieces of the equation look like.

Brady has looked awfully ordinary in the playoffs since the Super Bowl loss. And Houston is so much better than them at just about every other position, I'd still rather face New England. Especially considering familiarity and that we've gone into their building and beaten them in January once already.
