Quote:How can Houston and Denver be the same team? The two coaches have different offensive and defensive schemes and halftime adjustments.

 

What I mean is that in general the two teams have the same issues and the same results - as long as you consider only this season of course.

 

Denver is #1 in pass D, Houston is #2 - last week it was the other way around. Both are bottom 10 against the run. Houston is #27 in offense yards/game. Denver is #28. Houston has a glaring issue with getting off to terrible starts. Denver is #31 in 1st quarter points, and their defense has given up points on their opponent's first drive 5 times in 6 games - and 4 of them were TDs. Both teams have some potential at QB, yet neither has shown any sort of consistency whatsoever out of the position. Both teams are 4-2. Houston's losses were blowouts, but they were to much better quality opponents then Denver's - and even with those blowouts all those stats referenced above are still very equal.

 

Houston has a slightly better rushing attack, but their special teams are putrid.
