Yes they have holes on defense, but no team other than maybe the Pats can claim not to have deficiencies on parts of their team.
Oakland is much more complete on offense and lags a bit when it comes to the other side of the ball ...this season anyhow. Add JJ Watt back to the Texans and it changes things again, but the fact is he isnt there right now.

Texans have won 27 games in 3 years with the following as QB:
Ryan Fitzpatrick
Ryan Mallett
Case Keenum
Brandon Weeden
Brian Hoyer
TJ Yates
Brock Osweiler
Tom Savage
I mean Jesus Christ almighty....look at that list! Winning season every year! The AFC South sucks yeah, but that's only 37% of games. The Raiders meanwhile had Carr for all 3 years and won 23 games, despite Carr being better than all eight of those QBs combined, times at least two.
Carr is already closing in on the Aaron Rodgers and that level of "they are one of the worst teams in the league without him". Packers are a 6 win team at best without Rodgers. Like the Raiders are without Carr. Imagine the slate of losers I just posted were the Raiders and Packers QBs the last 3 years. Absolute best case scenario is 15-18 wins. And less than 10 is in play for sure. Texans are a better overall team than probably half of the playoff teams. They just have high school QB play. Put Rodgers on the Texans the last 3 years and they might have 5 losses total. They are a loaded team, missing the most key ingredient. Even without Watt this year the Texans posted the #1 overall defense, #2 pass defense, and a top 10 scoring defense. It's actually sad watching them waste this loaded team with such piss poor QB play.
