10. The Chiefs look to be a one year wonder. Good for all other teams in the AFC.
9. Steelers look old. Their demise is success for all other AFC teams
8. Manningless Colts. See above.
7. Daboll's offense looks exciting and will definitely have this offense scoring points.
6. Reggie Bush is a playmaker. He can get us down the field with a missed tackle or two.
5. Brandon Marshall looks rejuvenated. Career year?
4. Fasano looks to be a major player in this offense.
3.Our defense can only go up. Ok so its clear that the Pats are their kryptonite. They'll be ready next week.
2. Sparano has parted ways with his extremely conservative approach. This will pay huge dividends.
1. Looks like we may FINALLY have a QUARTERBACK! This has been the most consistent I have seen Chad Henne. This offense is PERFECT for him. His comfortably level and decisiveness is remarkable and like night and day from last year. He should only improve as the season continues.

Look Tom Brady is a 1 in a million quarterback and what he did to us, he will do all year to every team. So yeah it sucks, but unfortunately for the Texans, they'll have to pay the price ;)
Call me crazy, but I'm excited for week 2. Can't wait to see Henne air it out!
 
Part of me says: Well the Dolphins shredded the Patriots D, and the Steelers D got shredded, and the Saints and Packers shredded each other...but it's the Dolphins. But we're not in same league as any of those teams as of now.

Need to learn to run at the goal line. Defense please let that game have been an anomaly this season. They can show us with a GREAT Texans offense coming to town by stopping them. It will be blacked out though. Passing Offense needs to show they can be consistent.
 
The 11 on defense better play a whole hell of a lot better or there won't be ONE reason why we beat the Texans next week. Sparano and Nolan better be on their ***** this week and whip them into shape. I'm confident we can be a better team, but D needs to step up its game stat!
 
Anyone else notice how invisible Donte Rosario was tonight? I thought he was supposed to be our field-stretching TE, but it was all Fasano.
 
Chiefs were a fraud last year. Can't believe anyone bought their crap.

Only thing the Chiefs had worth a **** last season was Eric Berry and now they've lost him.
 
So I should be optimistic because other sucky teams suck?
 
Henne threw 37 completions of 20 or more yards all last year. He threw more than 1/4th of those in 1 game.. with 10 tonight. That is a taste how much different this offense is going to be

#optimistic#
 
Who cares what happens to the other teams. We have to win our 10-11 games to get into the playoffs. That's all that matters.

He didn't see the field much, and neither did anybody besides our base 3 WR offense (the only exception was Gates in there briefly for Hartline).
 
Broncos are awful...Orton is not good enough to lift them up. Tebow would be worse.

Sunday is going to be one ****ing anxious game for everyone. Anxious to see if the Defense just had one terrible game, if they can stop the Texans it will make it seem like that game was an anomaly.

And anxious to see if Henne can be consistent. Texans pass D is better this year. Can he have another game with few mistakes? Can he play like that when the score is close the entire game? (If the defense can stop the Texans of course.) If the defense holds the Texans to like 17 or 20 points and the Dolphins have trouble on offense...I may scratch my eyes off.

Too bad game will probably be Blacked Out.
 
I too am excited for the week 2 matchup, but for entirely different reasons. Mostly I want to see if the new-look Texans defense is a mirage because of how bad the Colts will be without Manning, or if they are actually not going to be a gigantic liability like they were last year. I do think that the Dolphins had a pretty good defense last year, and I always like seeing the Texans offense try to elevate itself over good defenses (jets last year, ravens last year, etc), and you know Andre always wants to put on a good show in Miami.

It's gonna be a barn burner on Sunday.
