Consistenty Will Define Texans in 2012

It is often said that good teams will beat the teams they are supposed to beat. One of the tell-tale signs that a team has not quite arrived is when they struggle with consistency. 8-8 teams are the kind that can flash one year and fall to pieces the next. Read More | Comment »
