[Houston Press] 2009 Season Record Predictions

[EndZoneSeats]

After watching the preseason I'm going to predict 9-7, although I do like our upside if Schaub stays healthy and if the defense can come around under our new coordinator.

16 & O

Same as last year. Well at least im consistant.

Sun, Sept. 13 NEW YORK JETS W
Sun, Sept. 20 @Tennessee Titans L
Sun, Sept. 27 JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS W
Sun, Oct. 4 OAKLAND RAIDERS W
Sun, Oct. 18 @ Cincinnati Bengals L
Sun, Oct. 25 SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS W
Sun, Nov. 1 @ Buffalo Bills W
Sun, Nov. 8 @ Indianapolis Colts L
Mon, Nov. 23 TENNESSEE TITANS W
Sun, Nov. 29 INDIANAPOLIS COLTS W
Sun, Dec. 6 @ Jacksonville Jaguars W
Sun, Dec. 13 SEATTLE SEAHAWKS L
Sun, Dec. 20 @ St. Louis Rams W
Sun, Dec. 27 @ Miami Dolphins L
Sun, Jan. 3 NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS L (unless NE has already clinched)

I have us going 10-6. Cincy is going to be a lot better than last year. We need to go at lest 4-4 on the road and pull out 6 victories at home. To win the division we will have to beat either the Titans or Indy on the road and beat Jacksonville twice. Like someone else said that 4 game stretch where we play 4 straight division opponents will make or break our season. We could get lucky and play the Patriots 2nd string if they have already clinched. If not I don't think we can cover Moss well enough to win.

With a bad start, losing to the Jets and Titans, 8-8 or 9-7. With a good start, winning 3 of the first 4, 10-6 or 11-5.

I'm with on this. Even though I am hoping for a fast start, tomorrow's game has me thinking trap game. And that has me nervous.

PK I to am nervous, actually I'm very nervous about tomorrows game. Why ?
Simply because the preseason has been anything but reassuring. And why would it be ?
We had our "starting" DLine get run over by the opposition, the last time I saw Schaub he was limping off of the field, Slaton looked fat and slow,
2 of our defensive starters haven't taken a snap all year and one of those guys never took a snap in an NFL game, and we are missing 2 starters from the Dbackfield.So yea I'm anxious.
And how could the season opener possibly be a "trap game".

Yes tomorrow has a lot of uncertainties.

How will DRob play?
Will Shaub show signs of injury?
What does Cushing look like in a real game?
Will Barwin play as good as he did in the preseason?
Will Slaton return to form?
Is CBrown a true compliment back?
Will TJones run all over us?

So many questions. I can't wait til tomorrow. My dad is a 49ers fan and for some strange reason he believes they will have a better record than us. WOW

Why a trap game? Is it because we are playing Ryan's 3-4 D? Seems Kubiak gets confused by this defense.

It is now going into the 4th quarter of the Jets game at home, and we are blowing it bigtime 0 to 17. I am revising my bet to 8-8, and if Kubes doesn't wake up we will be lucky to go 6-10!!!
