Not only are we winning games, but we look GOOD when we win them. I mean, what team has been more fun to watch? OK, there may be a couple (I think only KC is more fun to watch)... But we are just flat out FUN to watch. You've got Carr moving around the backfield looking for open recievers, AJ and the rest of the gang making big catches, and a 3-4 D that's playing great. Even DD is really fun to watch despite his subpar season. Looking at our team, I think we've got something really special brewing here and I feel pretty lucky that it's going on in my hometown. Even looking at our rookie season, we knew that we were a team that desperately wanted to win. And once we got AJ and DD in our 2nd season, that was pretty darn spanky!
I feel very fortunate that Houston is not in the same situations as other teams in the NFL. Who knows how long it will take the 49ers to get back into contendorship? Oakland (one of my favorite teams) and their head coach don't look like they've got a blueprint to get back to contendorship either. The Cardinals and Bears are looking very slow as well. Year in and year out, they are constantly looking for people to fill in holes for them, and who knows how long it will take for them to get to the playoffs. They look like they are steadily improving, but they are moving at a snail's pace. It cannot take you more than 5 years to build a good fooball team, and here are the Texans that are playoff contendors AFTER JUST 3 YEARS OF EXPANTION!
In the end, I just want to say THANK YOU! Thanks for bringing a football team back to Houston, thanks for the great ownership and coaching, and thanks for putting together a great looking team. When I look at our roster, "Lucky" is the only thing I can think about. To get these quality players on our roster on both sides of the ball after 3 years is simply stunning. For 3 years in a row, our 1st round draft picks have played up to or even exceeded all expectations. This is not counting some diamonds in the rough like DD and Peek. We've also avoided injuried that would have seriously impeded on our young players not getting enough expirience. It is just amazing what this orginization has done in just 3 years.
