We have had trouble with bums all year and barely beat the last 3 before today. Heck, today we beat Brock Osweiler & we know BO stinks. His associates were playing pretty well though. Hopefully we can can whip this weak division and learn enough along the way to make some noise in the playoffs. Deshaun is starting to round into form, running game is better, wr's are playing great and the defense is beginning to kick butt. The o-line needs to pull their head out of their butt and so does the coaching. Go Texans.
Well, there goes our top ten pick.
There goes a top 10 pick and any shot at OB being canned.
They'll win another division title in the NFL's worst division …. then get b!tchslapped by a quality opponent in the playoffs.
Then OB's back again next year and we get the same result …. mediocrity.
You know what? Even if we lose in the playoffs, I still want to see Deshaun in the postseason. And I want him to get that experience. I don‘t want to lose just to get a chance to get rid of O`Brien. I want this team to improve. I still believe with Watson, anything is possible.

Our O-line has played better in the last few weeks. They started a little slow the last two weeks but not for too long and both the Jags and Dolphins pass rushes became more or less null and void and the running lanes were there for Miller and Blue. Once it seemed the O-line was blocking well the coaching came around. The coaching staff showed signs of coming around against the Jags. I am no big fan of how BOb has called our offense for the most part but he did have an explosive offense with DW4 last season before DW4 got injured. Last night was a return to what we saw last season so it may be that BOb and our offense have flipped the script and are back to that type of offensive production. Of coarse now BOb and our offense has to do so without Will FullerV and that sucks. Hopefully KeKe Coutee can make up for the loss to some degree. We won't be as explosive as far as the deep ball goes but Coutee seems to be a good route runner and I have no doubt he can help offset the loss of Fuller to some degree. No matter who we have faced at Qb during our five game win streak it feels real good to win five straight games and we have put the rest of the NFL on notice.

We did not have a franchise Qb when we won those division titles and we did not have the weapons we have now.
One a side note we don't have Fuller but when Fuller has been injured we did not have anybody to take up any of the slack but we do have a solid replacement in Keke Coutee now. I have every reason to believe that with momentum and a better Qb as well as more weapons to throw to we can win at least one playoff game against quality competition. I am confident that we have turned a corner and will be a top tier team going forward.

Ur apology should be as loud as Ur disrespect was
Watch the injuries. Last night Fuller was lost for year. JJo out with an ankle not sure prognosis .. Cunningham out with a knee. JDC left game holding his elbow.
If we can get by without more key guys being lost for extended time it's 11-5.

I get the sentiment and can't argue with it overall based on past performance.
But if #4 is behind center in a playoff game, I wouldn't bet a single nickel against him.
O'Brien, just get this kid on the big stage, and he's going to give you better than a puncher's chance.
After a couple of more drafts like the one Gaine had this last offseason and I will agree with you.
Except Gaine's now acquiring the talent.
After last offseason I truly think good times are ahead IF Watson stays healthy.

This. And I'm looking at potential wild card opponents and I'm not scared, we will win the division and play either San Diego or Pit or Baltimore at home most likely, we can beat those teams, Jacksonville proved last year once you get into that second round anything can happen, teams coming off of that week off can be caught cold with their pants down. We've seen plenty of crazy **** happen in the playoffs, I don't think there is a team in the AFC we CAN'T beat. To actively root against your team making it because you fear us getting blown out is such a cuckold thing. A lot of cucks on this board for sure.

The only team the Texans should be shook of is NE b/c of Belichick/TB12.
KC is a juggernaut on offense, but their defense can definitely be had....Same for Pitt
Baltimore offensively isn't special at all & as long as we can keep Suggs and co. in reasonable check, they can be had to.
The way our team is built, we are set up to be able to compete. Defense travels and as long as we can remain viable on that side of the ball & we keep Watson & Nuk healthy on offense, we have a chance against any of the other 3-4 teams in the AFC.

Yep, Driving home from the game they interviewed our rookie Justin Reid (3rd rd freaking steal). He said more than he should have. He said they had a whole tape on him, his tendencies, audibles, even shared one of his tells. I suspect BOB will tell him too much info shared rookie. But yeah, we used a lot of our intel on Os
I agree and said on another thread. With DW even with BOB we have a chance. Who has been our best QB to date? Picksix1.0???
Get the letterman jackets out!

What’s OBs record against winning teams outside the AFC South? Isn’t it abysmal?
You know , I don't disagree …. Watson gives you a chance but doesn't that chance increase with a quality coaching staff and quality play calling. Most of what we've seen in this run is pure talent , that's not going to be enough at some point - The coaching has to be better.
Sure but we've got OB trying to break him in pieces with idiotic play calls.
Broken rib , collapsed lung … potentially playing on an injured knee last year ?
I don't trust Watson's health to OB ….
Me either,
I think at the beginning of the year BOB was trying to protect Watson. After starting 0-3 all bets were off.

Yeah but who decided that though Watson or BoB? I’m thinking it was Watson. The plays Watson were hurt on were in that Dallas game...when Watson was playing hero ball trying to take on LBs on the goal line.
It simply doesn’t make sense for BoB to be protecting Watson at the beginning of the year and then call plays that would get him hurt.

It was just a typical BOB team: not ready to play at the start of the season. However, what's done is done. Revised estimate, 9-7 for season and a playoff spot. Probably wildcard, since Jax will rebound with Bortles straddling the pine. We get eliminated from playoffs in 1st or 2nd week; after all, we still have BOB.

If Watson can play, the Texans can make the playoffs any given year. Which does not translate to success in the playoffs, it just means we'll get there. But he's young, in his second year, and is already fighting lingering injuries. The Texans will ride this horse until he's put out to pasture, which will take less time than you think at the rate it's going now.

meh middle of the pack teams are the hardest IMO any team on our remaining sechudle is capable of beating us cept the jags and we can beat any team here forward
if we lost to the giants this year then anything is possible our road games ..well obvs that will be the test Was philly and Jets

Well, let's see....
the fact that most have a losing record obviously means they can be beaten. Question is, can we do it?
Denver
BYE (maybe....)
Washington (W)
Titans (W)
Browns (W)
Colts (W)
Jets
Eagles
Jaguars
I don't see anyone that we can't beat if the offense is clicking.
or that can't beat us if we're off

You can blame alot of things on BOB but after an 0-3 start he's calling games to win games rather than preserve Watson. (I disagree with this because keeping Watson healthy should be job #1 since they aren't winning a SB this yr and need to draft atleast 2 OL high in next yrs draft to protect him.) We saw what BOB going out of his way to protect Watson looks like and that lead to an 0-3 start.
The talent level on the OL and Watson's propensity to take hits after scrambling is what caused Watson to get hurt. (Hopefully Watson learns from this)
Oh to be a Texans fan.... to fear no one and everyone all at once.......

Oh how we all jumped the gun. The rollercoaster ride tends to bring out the worst in all of us. It was so bad, most of us was wishing and hoping for a top 10 pick. Talk about throwing the season away. Knowing darn well skit can change for the better in the blink of an eye. Have we not seen teams like the Giants win a SB after losing 6 games in a row. Then turning up the heat at the right time. Didn't we see the Eagles win it all last season. When nobody picked them at all. Jokers had them last in the division. Lol
The good thing is we haven't hit our stride yet.
The good thing is we haven't hit our stride yet.
I only fear KC and NE in the AFC.
...and us. Because I'm never certain which Texans team will show up.
Hey, just roll with it!
Lol, even steelb had 3 positive posts in a row! That has to be some kind of a record!
If this organization isn't going to fire O'Brien after another embarrassing playoff loss, it doesn't matter if they fire him after another disappointing season.
They'd just get another coach that can't deliver in the post season year after year.
So you're saying when BO'b was doing his best to protect Watson, Watson was sacked more than any QB in the history of the game.
But now that BO'b couldn't care less about protecting his franchise QB he's taken virtually no hits...
& you endorse BO'b as a HC in the NFL?

Watson got hurt in the Cowboys game.
How about all of us enjoying a five game winning streak.
Just know when they lose and they will, it won't most likely be because of coaching, it will be because their talent level isn't as good as the Pats, Chiefs, Steelers etc... But they're getting there

I'll give you the Chiefs and the talent, on the offensive side of the ball.
The Pats are just flat out coached better than any other team.
And more talented.
They've got Brady, Michel,Gronk, Edelman, Gordon, Hogan as skill position players
The Texans have Watson, Hopkins and ?????

The Chiefs are not only talented but they're well coached.
The Steelers started off rough with a lot of drama. But Coach T has mitigated that mess and finally have the boys ready. Therefore, they are a talented team that's well coached as well.
The Texans has plenty of talent as well. You don't drop 42 points just off of pure luck. Man stop it. If they are coached up correctly, they have the potential to put up points like that with the best of them. They went blow for blow with the Patriots and Seahawks last season. They were averaging 30+ just like Chiefs are now. Coaching cost them those two games along with a few mistakes.

And yes, any given Sunday/Monday/Thursday rule applies.
Look at the Longhorns losing to Oklahoma State tonight. That skit happens on every stage.
Man we as fans are programmed with this mentality of a loser. I'm not calling anyone a loser (disclaimer). I'm just saying we just won 5 games in a row. And some of us are still complaining about the talent level and teams who can beat us.

It's curious how we got back to talking about "talent level" when the concern was coaching.
Not your fault, just using your post to draw attention to how a particular someone changes his argument instead of admitting he said some stupid sht.
Bo'b practically got Watson killed when protecting Watson was his number one concern. Now that protecting Watson is not his number one concern, Watson has been better protected.
How do you get to "talent level" from there? Did the talent level change because BO'b stopped concentrating on protecting Watson? Or did someone type out a longwinded reply & hit "submit" without reading what he wrote?
This has to be the 1st time someone got a "like" from a deleted post!
You're killing me TK!
If you are going to give them Michel and Hogan then you should acknowledge Miller and Coutee.
why?
Stupid sh!t? have some balls and talk to me. I was drunk when I made that post if you check out my next post you can clearly see that. Nice job doing your best to be an asshole though. See this is how you respond to a person directly?
Let's try to respond this way, your a dumbass if you think BOB's playcalling didn't have anything to do with Watson coming off of his 2nd ACL surgery. Or maybe you know more about medicine than our esteemed Dr.
