Like I said, I call things like I see them. When there's something good, I'll acknowledge that as well. I don't play the bullshit games of picking a side and sticking with it no matter what. They are in a bad place that unfortunately is going to take time to turn around, if it ever does with the power structure they have in place. And I'm not going to praise them for the dumb shit they do just because the HC or GM says all the right things in front of a mic. If you're all about that hope, more power to you. I hope they dig out of this mess at some freaking point too. But I rely on results. Don't tell me you're going to do this and this and that. I need to see it on the field.
Nicky's mulligan season is over, and frankly, I haven't been impressed with too much of anything he's done so far. So it's not that I'm doom and gloom, it's that I haven't seen anything the Houston Texans do to instill a glimmer of hope in me. I don't see that light at the end of the tunnel ... yet. This roster had 30 (give or take) players from last year become FAs. That means the roster turnover is going to be huge again this year, which is fine because that roster sucked. But the foundation to build something needs to eventually be laid down. That hasn't happened yet. Revisit that after free agency and the draft. But until it does happen, they ain't going anywhere anytime soon. Simple as that. Positive, things I want to hear coach speak be damned.
And don't worry about why I follow them. I'll fan the way I fan. You stick to you.
