But I wonder if the team really regressed last year ? It was a relatively difficult schedule while the 2009 record was perhaps inflated because of a very easy schedule ? In other words the Texans were about a 6-7 win team in both 2009 & 2010.

Joshua, sir, I am considering retiring from football-related posts around here for a while (and there was great rejoicing...) because anything I plan to say or want to say or would say I find already said by you.

If their feable showing last year was because of how tough the schedule was, then we're in for another long season in 2011. The schedule this year looks a hell of a lot tougher than last year's to me. For the most part, championship teams aren't influenced by the schedule. Good teams make their breaks and overcome their mistakes. Bad or mediocre teams like the Texans make mistakes and provide the opposition with the breaks. Coloradodude brought up the Ravens game and Schaub's poise, but it was Schaub who made the final bonehead play that lost the game. I'm just saying this team isn't talented enough to overcome their mistakes on top of Kubiak's (and staff) coaching deficiencies. I think that has more to do with their record the last few years than the schedule.
