The Texans Game Is Starting To Loom Large.

How what our record could be... a reality check?

Reality is we're 5-5. And that's a fact.

Are you sure? Can you prove that's a fact? I believe right now in the "Truly good team to beat standings" that we are somewhere between 3-7 and 2-8, which would explain why we aren't even in the running for the playoffs at this point in the season. Those standings are more important than actual NFL standings because those standings measure how much of a good team you actually are, not how many wins you have.

DM72.I certainly understand what you're saying and we could be 6-4.

But we just can't think that way,although it sucks.

Because we could also be 4-6 if Gano misses the OT kick against G.B. (and theysomehow win)
Or 3-7 if he misses the OT kick against Tennessee (and they somehow win)
Or even 2-8 if he misses that kick against Chicago and we somehow lose that one as well.

We should be happy we have 1 more win than we had last season.

And I know there are some gano haters on the boards,but he is arguably the reason we are 5-5 and not worse...

And Ironically and back to your topic...the one he makes,then gets iced...then misses on his 2nd try against the texans,could possibly cost us a playoff birth and a current 6-4 record instead of our 5-5 record.

But I have no doubt...if we have Suisham...I'm not even posting playoff scenario's, because we are right there with the cowboys or worse.

Honestly, the Warpath is giving me a headache these last few weeks. Between "real" facts, real facts, woulda shoulda coulda facts. I don't get it.

We are 5-5, that's it. There is no BCS. There is no fairy that will make us 7-3. We have struggled. We have beat good teams. We have lost to bad teams. That's what a 5-5 team generally does.

exactly..
One could argue,we are a better team than the Giants.
They've beat 1 team with a .500 record or better. (bears 7-3)..the others?
carolina...dallas...detroit...texans...seattle (5-5 now)

Redskins have beat Bears (7-3)..Packers (7-3)....Eagles (7-3) and Titans (now 5-5,but were 5-4 when played)
Only Dallas was a bad team who are 3-7

We just also somehow lost to inferior teams as well.
Honestly...I'm more worried about this Vikings game,than I am the Giants game coming up at the meadowlands where we play bad. (although new stadium)

Yeah, I'm pretty much ignoring these arguments too. My entire post that you just quoted was actually pure sarcasm, I don't really give a crap about that argument because we are 5-5 and we hold our own destiny in this league.

I tune out the shoulda/coulda/woulda posts. We could be 0-10, I mean really? I guess we could be 10-0 with that logic too.

There actually is a football fairy, he made us 5-5 and we should be happy with that.
