I'm seeing a lot of quiet out of both Texan and Bronco fans - and for the same reason. They have a championship-caliber defense and some parts on offense but the quarterback is untested and the offensive line is a worry. So they aren't sure if they can get to the playoffs or not but they are guardedly optimistic. On paper, I don't think any team in the AFC South is better than Houston as long as we get decent play from the OL and the QB. Conversely, I could see the Broncos finishing last in the AFC West with a slightly better squad than Houston.
If we can get Watt, Clowney, Mercilus healthy at one time with all the Johnsons and Jacksons in the secondary, we could have one of the best-ever defenses. IF. The window will close quickly.
