Do the Houston Texans have the most overrated defense in the NFL?

I know you can subtract seven every week because of suck arse Schaub, but are they really even that good?

Broncos slipped my mind. 24 points given up ain't saying so much though for the texans tonight.

21 points off turnovers doesn't help. Their defense is good when Cushing is healthy. Losing the turnover battle and giving away points is killing them.

They have the best DLineman in the league and one of the best linebackers, plus a pretty legit secondary. They're good.

Their offense.. Well.. It's great besides Schaub

when Cushing went out last year it seemed like they weren't as good against the run.

they might be having a tough time tonight but they are legit.

Here is an example of more points given up because of a short field. Even so, not that impressed with them so far.

Idk, the flash isn't there this year.

Safety is a huge weakness as it was last year


Pats scored oodles of points from raping their Safetys last season twice (yeah i just made this about the pats, DWI)


Basically if you can spread them out, you win.

Texans getting some hate tonight

what are the predictions for playoffs by everyone? I say first round and back home. Sounds about right.

true.

New England, Green Bay, and New Orleans lit them up.

I'm thinking of that 2011 game where Houston played New Orleans.

they did pretty good for most of the game but the 4th quarter the Saints ripped them apart.

I don't think they make it. I think Indy takes the division and there are some other teams playing well to take those wildcard spots.

And to answer the original question, I still think that the Texans have a very good defense.
