The reason I don't make predictions is because you never actually know what a team is until several weeks-halfway through the season. But I don't think the preseason has been a waste. It looks like a real game, but they're evaluating from a bit of a different angle.

The only scary thing for me is our secondary. If they just play average, then we will beat the Texans.

Going off what I mentioned to Cletus... until we get into the season and know for sure, it's just inductive reasoning. The baseline is what I mentioned before... basically inches away from the Division.

Ostensibly, we should be upgraded at QB, RB, and even in the secondary. Even without bringing any new DB's in, the secondary should be improved after a year of experience and (hopefully) less injury.

If everything else only stayed at par for the course, we should already be better. But I don't expect everything else to just stay par.
