Will the Houston Texans be able to  have a good season after last seasons disapointment?

The Texans are on the verge of being respectable.  One of their problems is that they play in a tough division.  They have to play Indy twice every season.  And depending on how the other teams are doing they also have to contend with Jacksonville and the Titans.\n\nI don't think David Carr is their answer.  Everyone thinks he just needs a good line and then he will blossom.  Well I have a feeling after this season we will see him leaving Houston.  He has been banged up so much that I think he is constantly thinking about the sack.  This will prevent him from being successful.\n\nReggie Bush will not be the answer either.  Houston already has a respectable RB.\n\nThe current rumor (which is probably false) is that Houston is seriously considering trading down.  They don't want to have to take Bush.  The problem is finding a partner. \n\nThe Saints won't trade up.  In fact they are looking to trade down.  The Titans and Jets are probably comfortable where they are. \n\nThe Packers could use Bush, but they are sitting pretty at number 5.  They will find a quality player to fit their many needs at this spot.\n\nSF or Oakland might be interesting positions.  Both of them could use Bush and that is not too far for Houston to fall and still pick up quality.\n\nWhat's going to happen? No one knows for sure, but I think Houston is hoping to come in 2nd in their division and maybe a chance at a Wildcard spot.

Tough division, OK team...I'll go 8-8 this year.  Give them a year to mesh together and they'll be better the year after next.  Thet have the same problem as the Chiefs...and that is the defense.  They still need some playmakers on that side of the ball.

Hell yeah. The core of the team is back next season. The defense will only get better. They'll have a solid running game with Benson and Jones. The only question marks are at quarterback and receiver. They should get a decent receiver in the draft (and maybe pick up someone like Randle El) and Orton and Grossman should improve. The schedule looks kind of tough too with Denver, KC, and San Diego. \n\nBut again, look at the other teams in the division... Bears shouldn't have a problem getting to the playoffs and making a run.

They are starting to turn the corner, but they suffered alot of injuries last week....so it might not show on the field.\n\nFor more on the Texans and the NFL, check this site out.  http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/

I think that the Pats will have a pretty good season next year, not enough to win the superbowl but they will do better than the Jags.

They will return to the rose bowl for a 3rd straight year.  They return a lot of good defensive players, they have a great running back trio (there were 4 but Taylor we stupid) and also their wide receivers are going to be more experienced which has been their weak point the last 2 years. But they don't have Vince so they will go 11-2. (loss to Oklahoma and OSU)

A solid season now that we have a offensive coordinator and new weapons on both sides of the ball. I can see a season similar to last season in a race fo the finish throughout the division, maybe even the Eagles to.

this year, they improved as a team and shows potential for the upcoming seasons. I don't think they can win the west, but with their potential, i think they are the future of the NFL. Possible can be a great team, one day it will change around. \n\nAlex Smith is a great qb, has more potential and hes still learning. hes always better then ELI MANNING.

I will guarantee that this season will be better that last season. Last season wasn't really that bad, but they were  missing a few key parts that they really needed. There are no initially visible major problems, except maybe shortstop, which might be filled soon with Alex Gonzalez. Manny and Ortiz is such powerful combo. When they lose either one, the team will need a few years to recover their powerful offense. Pitching looks better is Foulke gets back to his prime condition and if Schills can go strong the entire season. Not a bad outlook, considering Coco Crisp fills a huge HOLE the Red Sox had.

Absolutely... this team is the most talented and capable team that I have ever seen.  If they play up to their abilities, nobody can touch them.  Their defense is vastly underrated and they have excellent offensive players at the skill positions.  Their offensive line is very disciplined and they have great coaches.  Will they 3 peat against Texas... absolutely!

i dont think they will, but they definitely have the talent to do it. i think texas will rebound from a HORRIBLE game against k-state and colt should be back so that's a big plus. as for the stephen mcgee comment....so what if he's not the best qb, just about any qb can beat our secondary right now the way they are playing. it will be a great game as it is every year but i think texas will win by 14. TEXAS FIGHT!

They could.  Depends on which team shows up to play.  Some weeks they look great and could hold their own with most teams, other weeks they struggle.  One huge factor, their young QB who stepped in early this season and has turned things around injured his ankle in the 4th quarter against Pitt.  His mobilility is part of his success at the run and passing game.  Both games against powerhouses Louiville and WV are worth keeping an eye on because if there is a team that can pull off an upset it is S. FL.

Absolutely. They will be like a more practiced, more refined version of the near-powerhouse they were this season. They have THREE members going to the Pro Bowl this year. The Dallas game was what really undid them this year.\n\nUnder the steady coaching of John Fox... this team will go far. They already have made the playoffs twice in three years... and were at the Super Bowl in 2003. The Seahawks, on the other hand, will probably collapse after their post-Super Bowl loss as so many teams do for a year.

I'm a big Browns fan, I would like to say playoffs, but they are at least one more season away from that.  The Browns solved some of their problems with F/A signings like LeCharles Bentley, but I think we will have to wait and see how they do in the draft this weekend.  Phil Savage has got the team going in the right direction, expect the Browns to seriously compete for the Division in the 07 season, this up coming year they will finish 8-8.

because having a one bad season doesnt make you a less of a quality team...not like the texans or 49ers...they have consistently shown they are not great quality teams...but they still have fans...now take the titans..they have decent years..but now they are really struggling......your team cant be the all amazing ones year after year..no matter who you are....\ngo steelers!! steeler faithful for life
