I'm guessing we end season in Indy just to ruin our season.

First impressions:

Week 9 bye = perfect

4 out 7 on the road to start the season. Starting week 2, Carolina, Tampa and Atlanta all in a row just about takes care of that conference.

2 Prime time.

Buffalo and Tenn later in the season might be the only "chilly" games...

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.

"Chilly" works several ways - players, coaches, fans, etc. The Texans have been pretty good in cold weather compared to some of the other southern teams...

Some of the radio guys are predicting 2-3 over the first 5 games. Any thing better than that has to be good.... As mentioned, they must get that QB position sorted ASAP to have a chance as I think the defense will keep us in a lot of games this year...
