Concern over cold weather games is an old Oilers/Astrodome problem. It doesn't seem like the Texans in their short history have had many cold game issues, and I doubt Bill O'Brien is too worried about it. Primary concern is with how Ryan Mallett (or the QB of the day) handles it.
Not sure I want to underestimate the Panthers, but the first quarter of the schedule sets up nicely heading into the game (at home) on TNF against the Colts. That will be a highly anticipated game.
Pats and Colts back-to-back late in the season ought to feel like a playoff preview. Lots of former Pats on the staff in Houston probably looking forward to that game.
With 3 straight division games to wrap up the season, the division is sure to be up for grabs deep into December. I guess that's good for intrigue.
