Watch NFL Films and listen to new players speak about when they join a franchise and see the glory of past championships. It matters.
All I'm saying is the teams that have had success have a blueprint to get back to it. They have standards set by past teams.
The Texans have nothing of the sort. They flounder, they huff and puff, and then they send out invoices for season tickets.
We can agree to disagree. Just remember this conversation in the coming years as those three times rise again and the Texans are still looking for a head coach that can win more than he loses.
there are only a few who have that… the steelers and Ravens….all the success they’ve had can be traced to a blueprint of having stifling defense. they have been defined by their defense for well over 20 years if not their entire existence; its their identity. Alot of the other teams you’re referring to…sure they had a “golden age” at one point where they dominated..but most haven’t really been able to duplicate it as a matter of a “blueprint” largely b/c it was centered around a once in a generation player or 2. 80’s 49ers, 90’s cowboys etc.
but its not uncommon for most franchises to have 20 plus years go by where they’re not doing much more than the Texans have in their existence. KC is on now…before Mahomes tho they hadn’t seen any of the sustained success they’re seeing now since the friggin 60’s with Len Dawson. Same for the Pats in between that 80’s team that got smoked by the Bears and Belichick/Brady.
