Just like you've done in this thread very recently: Ignore facts and hope endless repetition wins the day.
As to that, you are just flat out wrong. The defense is arguably better than what the Vikings have, the Texans just need at least a backup quality QB to drastically improve from Hoyer and they should be set.
This wasn't Bridgewater's loss. He had 146 yards passing but Russell Wilson only had 142 and a lot of those came from the crazy broken play and Baldwin making an incredible catch. Subzero temps make for a very difficult passing game on top of facing a tough D with the best secondary in the NFL. Bridgewater for a second year quarterback is doing quite well. He's not going to be an elite QB but by there very nature there are few elite QB's.

It's easier to build a team if you have a championship defense. Pretty much all the favorites in the playoffs have championship defense. You can pretty much stay in every game if your defense plays at a level like that. What the Vikes need to fix this offseason is their O-line. TB was pressured way too much. And improving the o-line will make AP's job easier and maybe even reduce his workload. Remember, the hottest team and QB (Seattle and Wilson) in the league got lucky to beat a team with this many holes. And they sucked offensively pretty much. Fixing that o-line will improve the team drastically.
Then the Texans wouldn't have been embarrassed like a flag football team yesterday. Absolute disgrace.
wilson leading a come from behind win in the 4th quarter is what he does. too much credit for vikings defense.
That's not true at all, no defense is good enough to overcome the QB turning the ball over 5 times and never getting into the end zone even once or even setting up a FG. The Texans do have a more solid defense than the Vikings, their head coach just decided to name arguably the worst QB in the NFL even including backups as their starting QB.
On a lucky play (not talking about the missed FG). Wilson was held to 50% completion rating for 142 yards and only 21 rushing yards. He was shut down. Now compare that to his last 5-6 games where he's been like in god-mode.
AD was a ghost in this game, and contributed to fumble that turned the game around. And they still should have won.
The Seahawks have an elite defense. They don't give up points easily at all. Throw in the frigid conditions and you have a low scoring game. Every QB in the league would have had trouble scoring today.
Fair enough, you can think whatever you want but according to PFF, the Texans had the 8th best defense or when weighted, the 4th best defense in the NFL this season. They have the Vikings as the 14th or when weighted the 13th best defense in the NFL this season. You can feel free to think the Vikings have the better defense, but I guess we'll find out next year when they play.
