The player I feel bad for? Andre Johnson. This guy has given his all for the Texans and barely sniffs the playoffs at the end of his career. He is running out of time. It was a disgrace that the Texans didn't get a wr to stretch the field opposite Johnson. Instead they drafted projects.
I don't anymore. Where else is he gonna go at this point where he's gonna get 1590 yards and really be the only target on a Super Bowl contending team? If they want to make it to the Super Bowl, they're gonna have to really earn it this year. Andre has a good 4 or 5 years left on this team and I don't think we'll be going away anytime soon, but we definitely have flaws that need fixing if we're going to make it.
The Texans wouldn't even be playing next weekend if they had just beaten the Vikings or the Colts. So this game is meaningless imho. A win sends them on the road to play the Patriots with Gronk returning. Then if by some miracle the Texans showed up and beat the Patriots they would then have to jet over to Denver and play them for the AFC championship. The Texans are done this year and they only have themselves to blame. They set this whole mess in motion. They have no heart this year. Last season thats all they had. Stepping up everytime someone went down and finding ways to win.
We lost the last three of the season going into the play offs last year.

I think it is extremely optimistic to think dre has a good 4-5 years left

Why? The rumors of AJ's demise were greatly over stated IMO. He is 31 and just had his most productive season. Jerry Rice had his most productive season at 33 and had 1200 yds when he was 40. Reggie Wayne is 34 and still appears to have gas in the tank.

Um, Jerry Rice has 2 of the greatest QBs in history throwing to him, Joe Montana and Steve Young. Two guys that excelled when the pressure was on them.
Andre has a first round bust and glorified backup throwing to him. One that never had any pressure and one folds like a cheap card table.
Maybe Schlub will prove me wrong but so far the bigger the game the smaller his performance.

Well I'm glad you could name two people out of how many WR that have played in the NFL that had success later in their career. To think AJ will be rocking it at 35-36 is simply ignoring the numbers of the game. Can it happen? Sure. Will it? It's unlikely
Please with the two names comment. Lots of the most talented WRs stick around into the 35-36 range and beyond. It is the less talented players who get bounced out of the league. The overall numbers mean jack when you are discussing the elite of a position. But if you want to play a numbers game lets look at 5+ time pro-bowl WRs and see how many of them were getting bounced before their mid-thirties.
The numbers do mean something but if you want to ignore them because of homerism that's fine. AJ isn't elite now and if you think it's automatic that he will stay highly productive into is mid to late thirties you are kidding yourself

Now you are just looking foolish. AJ isn't elite now?
Now you are just looking foolish. AJ isn't elite now? - (which missed the entire point of the comment unless you are denying AJ was ever elite). A grand total of one WR beat him this year - LOL, while on a run first team with a barely competent QB. Oh well, I guess there are lots of Texans homers among the coaches and players in the NFL. We're talking 4-5 years here, not decades.
PS - I said nothing about automatic. Clearly injury could be a problem.
Ummmm not elite anymore ? For real dude....He had nearly 1600 yards this season with a running back who nearly gained 1600 yards as well. I mean what is elite to you if he isnt ?
It sucks that Andre is in such an exclusive class that there aren't many examples to demonstrate what he's capable of.
The price you pay for being elite.
