Death to Google Ads! Texans Talk Tip Jar! 🍺😎👍
Thanks for your support!
well i predicted during Off season that they would win at least ten games
and i might be a game and a half wrong
overall nice season that fell short but at least we didnt tank like the browns ... them and us where consider to be playoff bound but that never happend
but lets see what happends after the draft and OS and we can go from there
No we weren't. Cleveland, buffalo and jacksonville were slated to go to the playoffs with tennessee tanking.
there were a couple of daring talking heads that had us sneaking into the playoffs this year as the final wild card because, as you said, the Titans were supposed to tank. And had they left Vince at QB, they may well have.
...we'll never really know.
and I was one that had us going between 7-9 and 9-7 due to the toughness of our schedule. I was worried that if we went 7-9 (or worse) that folks would be calling for Kubiak's head and we'd have to start "rebuilding" for a third time.
yuck!

you're right about that. I have felt since he's been playing that VY has hurt them as much as he;s helped and in some games they won in spite of him.
i thought i remember reading somewhere that Fisher had asked him to just make 2 or 3 bigtime plays a game. or something. maybe he was saying that's what they expected out of him or something. either way, very odd.
I'll believe it when I see it. Not that I don't think the Texans are headed in the right direction, but THIS was supposed to be their year. Until this team is successful, I won't believe predictions of success.
If it wasn't for Sage, we'd be in the playoff chase right now at 8-6.

Actually this year we were 2-4Not so odd. go look at Elvan Betha's last year with the Oilers.
Look this team is marked by one thing and one thing only. they are inconsistent. That Omboi Okoye Finlay showed up and made three or four key plays, the tacks QB couldn't hit the broad side of a barn and their HC made a bone headed desidsion....those are only things that keep the embers alive at a winning season. Both offensive tackles stank up the house. I don't know whether it was arm length or what, but Erick got lit up. And so did Brown.
One thing for the media guru to fan the flames of optimism. Until they have a winning division record, it's all hog wash. Don't mean a thing. Back to back 1-5's is getting jacked up for what ?
They have to get more athletic in the back seven or find a first step guy to give more pressure beyond what they are getting now with Weaver and Okoye. Not every game you're going to see an NFL QB miss seven wide open guys in a game. If you're building your '09 play off hopes on that alone, well you're just being silly. They are hovering around five hundred for a reason. They lived by the blitz Sunday...and they got very lucky.
Actually this year we were 2-4
Schaub looks like he wants to give somebody a hug in that picture.
Man this all sounds so familar.
This is directed at those that are whining that we didn't look that good on Sunday:
I'll take an ugly Win over a pretty Loss every-single-time! If the Texans can't fall back on the 'what-if's' of the Rosencopter fiasco and a coin-toss in Jacksonville, the the Titans can't blame anyone but themselves for Sunday's loss either.
Make no mistake - This isn't last year's late-season Jacksonville game with lots of starters "resting". Fisher played his best guys, gambled on certain calls and STILL lost. We're 7-7 fair and square.
IMHO - The Texans were a lot closer to blowing opponents out this year than ever before. We let teams "off the hook", they didn't just take our candy away from us and only allow scores in the 4th quarter to let us feel respectable. I'm realistic enough to see our GLARING deficiencies (mostly on Defense), but this team is a far cry from the one Gary Kubiak inherited a few short years ago.
I can't wait to see:
- Adibi/Ryans/Diles on the field at the same time
- Duane Brown with a full year and another camp under his belt
- A healthier Amobi Okoye (Ryans too)
