Did anyone truly believe that the Texans, playing in the AFC South were going to be good enough to make the AFC playoffs, absent catostrophic injuries to other teams?? I certainly didn't. I thought, coming in, that the Texans would be fortunate to finish 3rd in their division (aided by the ans seemingly imminent demise). Being 3rd in a division makes a playoff spot terribly unlikely. Being 3rd in an AFC division this year makes that damned near impossible.
I didn't anticipate the Texans being so inept offensively, but 0-2 isn't a huge surprise.
