I love the Texans but San Francisco is the best team in the League

    I'm not worried about who the best team is right now. I think everyone would say the Texans are at least near the top. Were the Giants the best football team all of last year? The Giants won the Superbowl, but didn't play like the best team in the league most of last year. We haven't even played one third of the season yet, so I'm not too concerned if another team seems a little better right now. The Texans have a team that could win a Superbowl of all the pieces come together at the right time. I want to see the Texans really peak at the end of the regular season. Right now I'm pretty happy with any win, no matter what the margin of victory.

    We've never been behind in the 4th quarter, which is when you would need to be concerned about playing from behind, which is what the OP seems to be so concerned about.

    In fact, not only have we never been behind in the 4th quarter, we've never been ahead by less than 13 points at the beginning of the 4th quarter this year.

    I've said it before, I'll say it again. The only thing that can stop this team from winning the Superbowl this year is injuries. That's the only thing that stopped us from doing it last year and it's the only thing that can stop us this year.

    Weren't up only 23-14 last night? Regardless, your point is still valid.

    In NFL.com, in the power rankings they have the texans at no.1.

    and it says:
    RANK 1 5-0 TEXANS

    Our top-ranked team didn't look amazing Monday night, but the Texans still were in control throughout, as they've been all season (unlike the 49ers and Falcons). With the effectiveness of its ground attack, Houston makes it so tough on teams to climb back into games. Arian Foster put up a 152 spot in the rushing column against Rex Ryan's defense. Combine that with a relentless front seven on defense and the perfect Texans are still No. 1.

    Texans Run Game > 49ers Run Game: Foster + Tate is much better then Frank Gore, and nobody runs the Zone Blocking Scheme as well as the Texans.

    Texans Pass Game > 49ers Run Game: Matt Schaub is more efficient and proven then Smith. With one of the worst run games in the league he had a tremendous season in 2009. He is extremely accurate and makes good reads. Schaub all day

    Texans Defense = 49ers: Probably the top 2 defenses in the league right now. 49ers have a sick front 7, but the Texans have JJ Watt and Joseph. With the Cushing injury, I think the 49ers have a slight edge.

    The team that almost lost to the Browns, at home? Or would've lost to the chiefs if the sack-fumble-td wasn't called back?

    Who said the Texans were being a historically great team for the ages? And we already have some "Yeah, But -" threads on here. There's evident flaws of the Texans. You did say you came on too strong, though it still seems a bit of analysis looking for a problem.

    But I'll say that some of the advanced metrics REALLY like the 49'ers. 9'ers DO have a good chance to be historically good.

    Fool then GTFO and go to a 49ers forum I'm sick of all you "Texans Fans" bashing our team, injuries happen all the time to big time players, and other players step up its football. Shut ur mouth with this "best team in the league" because if they were so dominant they wouldn't have gotten there **** pushed in from Christian Ponder and AP's 60 something yards in week 3 where they lost by 2 tds. THAT IS ALL..
