Why do you need tonight's results?
You don't seem convinced.
They have to play the Cards again SF twice, they have played the Cowboys, will play GB tonight. Then they have the Pats, Jets, Bears, Bills and Lions... the only "Easy" games are against the Rams, Dolphins, and Vikings who just beat the 49ers.

Originally posted by shortcircuitBWAHAHAHA the Hawks play all those but are in a division that has the best 4th team in the NFL in the Rams.
Are you serious on the schedule???
Houston plays NY Jets, Green Bay, Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Minnesota and New England.
You call that a soft schedule?
Remind me... who else is in the Texans division?
Oh yeah! The Colts, Jags and Titans.... thats 6 wins for the texans right there.

You don't play the Ravens and they are better than the Pats. IMO, the Ravens are the
team that Houston needs to beat to get to the Super Bowl.

Originally posted by shortcircuitThe Ravens are even with the Pats at best barely squeaking out a win at home. The Ravens Defense is nowhere near the Hawks defense this year... I'll be surprised if nobody on the Raven's Defense has a heart attack this year hahaha.

Edit: And the replay that titans lions game 99 more times and the lions will win 90 of them.... just an upset, it happens. The Titans are still 1-2.

And, if you remember, we let Mario Williams go for nothing and traded away DeMeco Ryans..
JJ Watt is a terror right now. That is because the opposition can't hold Connor Barwin,
and Brian Cushing, and Brooks Reed, and Antonio Smith all out when they come.
The secondary is pretty solid as well.
Plus our coach is better than Pete Carroll.

Originally posted by shortcircuitWow Gary Kubiak is a better coach Than Pete Carrol? What are his accomplishments? His qualifications? He sucked his first two years and finally had a playoff birth last year because the rest of the division fell off... This is Carrols third year after inheriting a crappy squad and the improvements he has made are readily noticeable and should show up this year.... and then you have Those National championships under his belt. Yeah, Carrol knows how to guide his team through headlines and pressure. Kubiak still has yet to prove himself.

And the best defense? Laughable! They have posted = stats on defense to the seahawks overall and have played inferior teams. The hawks have played a 2-1 (3-0 if the hawks didn't win) team and a 3-0 team (2-1 if the hawks had won)

Then he hauled ass again.
What did he do for the Jets?
College coaches aren't always very good in the pro game. Ask Nick Saban.
Ask Steve Spurrier.

Originally posted by tomtom232You really don't know what you are talking about; a QB rating of 50 is terrible not average.
Those are all starting QBs... the Total QBR is designed so that an average QB starting a game would score 50... 75 then is definitely not terrible and the fact that it didn't rank last by a large margin shows that he is a Starting QB who underperformed which will happen a few games out of every season for most QBs.
