who likes the new texans scadule?

Question

Sept. 9 KANSAS CITY (9-7, 3-5 road) vs. Texans 2-1

Houston hosts Kansas City for the third time in regular season action on Sept. 9 to start their sixth season in franchise history.

Only Cleveland will have made as many trips to Reliant Stadium as Kansas City will have by the end of the 2007 season.

The Texans will be looking to even the all-time series with Kansas City at two wins apiece and will look to avenge one of the most lopsided losses in franchise history.

The Chiefs enjoyed their last trip to Houston in 2005, handing the Texans a 45-17 loss behind 211 rushing yards and two touchdowns from Larry Johnson.

2 Sept. 16 Carolina (8-8, 4-4 home) vs. Texans 0-1

As with the Atlanta Falcons, Houston has defeated Carolina at Reliant Stadium, but will venture on the road against the Panthers for the first time ever in Week 2.

The Texans enter 2007 with a 2-2 record all-time against the NFC South, playing each team twice. Depending on Carolina’s quarterback situation, the game could also mark Panthers’ quarterback David Carr’s first game against the team that drafted him first overall in the 2002 NFL Draft.

3 Sept. 23 INDIANAPOLIS (12-4, 4-4 road) vs. Texans 9-1

The Texans claimed their first ever win over the Colts last season at Reliant Stadium. In fact, Houston enters the 2007 season as the last team to beat the Colts, who went on to win Super Bowl XVI after faltering against the Texans late in December last year.

It will mark the second time in franchise history that the Texans have faced the defending Super Bowl champion. Houston faced Tampa Bay in 2003, a year after the Buccaneers won Super Bowl XXXVII.

4 Sept. 30 Atlanta (7-9, 3-5 home) vs. Texans 0-1

The Texans will be looking to raise their record to 2-0 all-time against the Falcons when Houston travels to Atlanta in Week 4. The game will be Texans’ quarterback Matt Schaub’s first against his former team.

While Schaub is quite familiar with the Georgia Dome, the Texans are not as the game will be the first for Houston in Atlanta in franchise history.

5 Oct. 7 MIAMI (6-10, 2-6 road) vs. Texans 0-2

The Texans will be looking for their third consecutive win over the Dolphins when Miami travels to Houston on Oct. 7.

Interestingly enough, Houston’s two previous wins over the Dolphins have been the first wins respectively of the 2003 and 2006 seasons. It’s unlikely that will be the case this fall.

Houston defeated Miami last season at Reliant Stadium, 17-15, to give Gary Kubiak his first win as an NFL head coach.

6 Oct. 14 Jacksonville (8-8, 2-6 road, 6-2 home) vs. Texans 4-6

The Jaguars went 6-2 at home last season, but one of those losses came at the hands of the Texans who had one of their more impressive defensive showings of the 2006 season at Alltel Stadium

The Texans led the whole way, racing out to a 10-0 lead and holding on for a 13-10 win. Houston collected four turnovers, all interceptions from Jaguars quarterback David Garrard.

7 Oct. 21 TENNESSEE (8-8, 4-4 road, 4-4 home) vs. Texans 8-2

Houston and Tennessee have yet to split a season series. The Texans swept the season series in 2004, but have lost every other game played against the Titans in franchise history, including a 26-20 overtime loss at Reliant Stadium last year.

8 Oct. 28 San Diego (14-2, 8-0 home) vs. Texans 2-0

The Texans will be looking for their first win in franchise history against the Chargers when they travel to San Diego in Week 8. These two teams last met in 2004, a 27-20 triumph by the Chargers in Houston.


9 Nov. 4 Oakland (2-14, 2-6 home) vs. Texans 0-2

Houston will spend a second consecutive week on the left coast when they travel to Oakland in Week 9. The Texans have never lost to the Raiders and will be looking for wins in consecutive seasons after defeating Oakland last year in a defensive exhibition by both teams in the Black Hole.

11 Nov. 18 NEW ORLEANS (10-6, 6-2 road) vs. Texans 1-0

The Texans will face the Saints for the first time since the 2003 season when New Orleans heads to Houston on Nov. 18.

The Saints were one of the best road teams in the NFL a year ago and fell just one game short of a Super Bowl appearance in head coach Sean Payton’s first season at the helm.

Houston will be looking to even the all-time series at one after falling to the Saints in ’03, 31-10, at the Super Dome. The game will also feature the top two picks in the 2006 NFL Draft in Mario Williams and Reggie Bush.

12 Nov. 25 Cleveland (4-12, 2-6 home) vs. Texans 2-2

The Texans will face Cleveland for the fifth time in franchise history on Nov.25, more than any other team outside the AFC South.

Houston defeated the Browns at Reliant Stadium in 2006 to end its season with a win for the first time in team history. A win over Cleveland in 2007 would be a third consecutive triumph over the Browns as the Texans defeated Cleveland 19-16 in 2005 at Reliant Stadium.

13 Dec. 2 Tennessee (8-8, 4-4 road, 4-4 home) vs. Texans 8-2

Turnovers killed the Texans last season in Nashville and Houston will be looking to avenge a loss in 2007 after thoroughly beating Tennessee in nearly every major statistical category a year ago.

The Texans fell 28-22 to Tennessee at LP Field in their last visit to Music City, falling behind 21-3 before Sage Rosenfels led a valiant second-half comeback that fell just short. Houston had 427 total yards while Tennessee managed just 197, but in the end Houston couldn’t overcome five turnovers.


14 Dec. 9 TAMPA BAY (4-12, 1-7 road) vs. Texans 1-0

Like the Saints, Houston has only played Tampa Bay on the road previously and will be looking for its first win over the Buccaneers in franchise history.

The Texans defeated the Buccaneers last season in preseason action, but lost to Tampa Bay 16-3 at Raymond James Stadium in 2003 in the only regular season meeting between these two teams.


15 Dec. 13 DENVER (9-7, 5-3 road) vs. Texans 1-0

The Texans will be looking for their first ever win over the Broncos when Denver heads to Reliant Stadium on Dec. 13 for a prime time matchup.

The two teams have only met once previously, a 31-13, win for the Broncos in Denver during the 2004 season. Plenty of storylines go along with this matchup which is probably why NFL Network has decided to broadcast the game to a national audience.

Gary Kubiak will be facing his mentor, Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan, for the first time in the regular season. However, Shanahan will also be coaching against his son, Kyle, who is the Texans quarterbacks coach.

Houston’s roster is also littered with former Broncos so while these teams have met just once previously in the regular season, they will be quite familiar with one another when they take the field in mid-December.

16 Dec. 23 Indianapolis (12-4, 4-4 road) vs. Texans 9-1

One last chance to claim a win at RCA Dome. Houston is 0-5 in Indy against the Colts, who will be moving into a new home prior to the 2008 season.

17 Dec. 30 JACKSONVILLE (8-8, 2-6 road) vs. Texans 4-6

If the Texans are to make the playoffs for the first time in team history, a berth may come down to a matchup with their biter rival.

The Texans have historically had the Jaguars number during their brief history. Six of the Texans’ nine division wins in franchise history have come against the Jags, only adding to this intense rivalry.

Answer 3

First of all, I know I'm not a guy but I'm gonna answer anyways. It really depends on the type of guy. But yeah a lot of guys like innocent girls, and some like dumb girls who pretend the have a brain of a 5 yr old. But most guys aren't usually attracted to the type of girl who "pretends" to be dumb and innocent for an actual relationship since I could understand that they would easily get bored with that kind of girl since she acts like she doesn't know anything. And the guys ur talking about probably only give her that kind of attention when she's around becuz they know they can easily use her and then dump her. Sooo yeah

Answer 4

the only texans game i'm looking forward to is against new orleans. last year the texans fans saw what vince young can do, now it's reggie's turn for the saints.

Answer 5

With 10 teams finishing .500 or better and playing in such a strong balanced division it will be difficult to get 7 or 8 wins this season. They should have won 8 games last season, but they let a few slip away. You never know with the parity in the league from year to year. They actually look like an NFL team after 5 years in the league. The entire season really revolves around the new QB and his ability to pick up the offense. He will be playing with another mediocre line, but the running back should be a stronger position this year. The defense is improving with a future pro bowl middle linebacker. The defensive backs with the exception of D. Robinson could not start for any other team. I will put the over under at 8 games.(optimistic) They need to get better every year or we will be looking for yet another coach.

Answer 6

the schedule isn't easy but they have a legit chance at finishing .500. i see them at like 3-1 against the NFC South. Oakland, Cleveland, and Miami should be winable. they usually split or better against both JAC and TENN. so that would make them 8-3 against those teams. this isn't counting games against Denver, SD, Indy(2), and the Chiefs. you get 8-8 if those are all loses. i might switch the win/loss against ATL and KC depending on the teams they put out.



it'll all come down to winning close games though. in '04 when they were 7-9, they lost around 5 games by less than a TD...

Answer 7

I got lost just trying to really understand what you are asking. Lets just hope with a new quarterback we will win more then 2 games. My hat is off to David Carr for being picked up so fast by another team but I doubt he will play in his game against the Texans. He is 2ND in line.

right now we need to worry more about finding a decent pitcher for our bullpen. I would be so happy to see Brad Lidge join David Carr......

Answer 8

I HAVE A QUESTION!!!!!



are there any Texans fans?

Answer 9

I like the fact that the Chiefs get to start out in Houston. Its always good for the Chiefs to be able to start off the season with a big win. Jared Allen and Tamba Hali are gonna be all over Schaub. He'll know what it felt like to be David Carr for five seasons.

Answer 10

who cares cus they suck
