Cause they lost like 17 o-linemen to injury and their QB

I'd feel worse if we got absolutely blown out by the Patriots (or the Giants) than I do losing to the Panthers.

Don't get me wrong, I'm anxious after the loss, but we can easily say that we just didn't show up that day. Texans fans today are wondering whether they can play with the better teams. We've beaten the Broncos, as well as the Cowboys (who aren't exactly a powerhouse, but no one expected us to win), and the Bucs (ditto), and the Saints (down year, but always dangerous). Our 2 losses were against division rivals. I'm a lot more at ease after those losses than I think I would be if we'd played our schedule but gotten blown out by the Niners and Packers, for example.

That was the 2nd game of the season. The Patriots have won 20 straight home games in December. The Patriots have 3-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady. They were just in the Super Bowl again last year. And look at the scores and margin of victory during their 7-game winning streak.

NYJ - 29-26 (OT)
@STL (in London) - 45-7
BUF - 37-31
IND - 59-24
@NYJ - 49-19
@MIA - 23-16
HOU - 42-14

Their only close games were division games. The other games were complete domination the Falcons can only dream about.

Falcons are the only team in the league to have beaten every team on their schedule. :-P

so then someone saying they expect a stronger game in a division game would still be correct?

see what I did there????

That's why I pointed out that the only close games were the division games.

I usually update it every 2 or 3 games.
