Texans will not have #1 pick in 2022. They will manage a 3-14 record. Long season, injury’s will be a thing, for every team. Mills will be the starting QB sooner than later. Watson will be traded and Texans will have multiple 1st 2nd and 3rd round picks

The Tampa 2 will allow Blacklock to return to his natural attacking style of play which he was so good at playing for TCU.
I'm not sure how people can rationalize a 4 to 5 win season with DW4, JJ Watt and Fuller now gone from the last year's 4 win team. I see it as being light on rationale and very heavy on Wishing and Hoping.A 3-14 record would give the Texans a very good chance at the #1 pick.
We see last year's 4 wins as an underachievment that was beyond those players control.I'm not sure how people can rationalize a 4 to 5 win season with DW4, JJ Watt and Fuller now gone from the last year's 4 win team. I see it as being light on rationale and very heavy on Wishing and Hoping.

Some of that has to do with the joyous end of the O'Brien era. Some of it has to do with keeping a stiff upper lip during the Watson saga. Some of it is just denial.I'm not sure how people can rationalize a 4 to 5 win season with DW4, JJ Watt and Fuller now gone from the last year's 4 win team.

More like 6-10 with a bottom 3 defense. However, the Texans did put up 375 yards and 24 points per game. This offense won't come close to those numbers.We should have won eight at the very least.
History shows 3 wins and your usually outside looking in. See if 17 game schedule changes schematics?A 3-14 record would give the Texans a very good chance at the #1 pick.
If the Texans do not win their first game, Jags at Home, then it is doubtful they can win any remaining games in 2021.Some of that has to do with the joyous end of the O'Brien era. Some of it has to do with keeping a stiff upper lip during the Watson saga. Some of it is just denial.
But, that optimism is ignoring many factors. The complete restructure. The lack of talent. And that the Texans will face one of the most difficult schedules in the league. Eight 2020 playoff teams, which does not include the Dolphins, Patriots, Chargers, Niners, and Cardinals. The Texans are unlikely to pickup their annual 2 wins vs. the Jags. All of that will be enough the wipe off the seemingly permanent smiles from Culley and Easterby's faces.
I think the Jets game later in the year is more winnable.If the Texans do not win their first game, Jags at Home, then it is doubtful they can win any remaining games in 2021.
I think the Patriots game is a real "sleeper" for the Texans in terms of a possible unexpected win:I've counted 5 winnable games
Both Jaguars games
Jets
Panthers
Patriots
Strong possibilities winnable games
49ers
Chargers
Dolphins
Teams with new high profile head coaches who have hired top notch coaching staffs usually gel in the 2nd half the year and perform much better than the first half. The players have bought into the system and are playing for their jobs in 2022. The question remains is Saleh going to be that head coach. Behind Meyer, Saleh was the most coveted. As for the Texans they really don't have a system to buy into and as the oldest team in the league most will be doing just enough to cash their check. By the time the 2nd half gets here and knowing a new coaching staff will be here next year, Texans players will be mailing it in. JMHOI think the Jets game later in the year is more winnable.

Why? I thought 21 was a throw away year. Starting over after 2 or 3 years sounds like an exercise in futility. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.So you think Culley and staff will only be on Kirby for 1 yr?
I think they will be on Kirby for atleast 2 yrs, maybe even 3 yrs.
I thought he was saying Culley & co are going to dominate after the bye.So you think Culley and staff will only be on Kirby for 1 yr?
There’s Believed To Be 1 ‘Early Leader’ For Arch Manning (msn.com)So I consulted the Crystal Ball this morning. Sorry to say it is going to be a very long dark and dismal next 5 years for Texans fans. However there is good news. Come 2025 Nick Caserio, Jack Easterby and the McNair Family will all be gone. The new owner will exorcise all things New England and hire a GM and/or HC that is a true leader and knows how to WIN more than most. And with the 1st pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, The Houston Texans select QB Arch Manning from Clemson.
A 3-14 record would give the Texans a very good chance at the #1 pick.
It's something this franchise will likely have to deal with, once again. Not just me saying it. The Athletic just ranked both the offense and the defense as the worst units in the NFL. That may have never happened before.would also add for the Texans, having the first overall pick has been more of a curse than blessing.

From 2020?Football Outsiders DVOA metrics.
From 2020?
No, it's a ranking based upon predicting the 2021 DVOA results. 2020 has already occurred, and @beerlover gave the Texans 2020 DVOA results.From 2020?
Thanks. That makes sense.No, it's a ranking based upon predicting the 2021 DVOA results. 2020 has already occurred, and @beerlover gave the Texans 2020 DVOA results.
Not going to subscribe to Football Outsiders just for this exercise so can only surmise that it’s mostly based off 2020 metrics, free agent additions/subtractions and net draft impact.
Texans Defense last year, with Watt was ranked 30th. Offense w/Deshaun 13th.
New, First time Head Coach and new staff (with exception of OC Tim Kelly). Seems completely fair projection so Texans you have your bulletin board material, prove them wrong if you don’t like it.
Wrong. Tyrod Taylor has been dealt a s***** hand a lot of times. He is far from one of the worst starters. He may not be a franchise Qb but he has done well enough everywhere he has been that he deserves some respect.That means it’ll likely be Tyrod Taylor, who projects as one of the NFL’s worst starters.
Wrong. Tyrod Taylor has been dealt a s***** hand everywhere he has gone. He is far from one of the worst starters. He may not be a franchise Qb but he has done well enough everywhere he has been that he deserves some resepect.
Perhaps. Still Tyrod has done a solid job everywhere he has been despite the many things he has had to overcome. I hope for his sake that at least as far as this season goes, he retains the starting job. Besides I seriously doubt Davis Mills is ever going to amount to much. I don't foresee Tyrod runnning into another Justin Herbert situation this season.
I'm hoping he "turns into" Ryan Tannehill & our RBs rush for 4,000 yards.However I don't think Tyrod will embarrass himself and he will be a solid middle of the pack Qb. Far from one of the worst Qb's in the league
I'm hoping he "turns into" Ryan Tannehill & our RBs rush for 4,000 yards.
2020 Prediction Texans Offense - 20th, 2020 Actual Offense 13thDo you know how their 2020 prediction compared to actual 2020 results?
I don't foresee our RB's getting that many yards but I could see our RB's doing well. Don't leave out 400+ yards rushing by Tyrod.I'm hoping he "turns into" Ryan Tannehill & our RBs rush for 4,000 yards.
Maybe, but he's not in his mid 20's anymore when he was doing that for Buffalo.Don't leave out 400+ yards rushing by Tyrod.
They probably took into account, or made the assumption O'Brien would be the HC for the entire 2020 season, throwing their offense prediction off when he was fired after week four. The offense seemed stuck in low gear when he was around.2020 Prediction Texans Offense - 20th, 2020 Actual Offense 13th
2020 Prediction Texans Defense - 26th, 2020 Actual Defense - 30th
As far as picking the bottom of the barrel, The Athletic predicted the Football Team in Washington to finish last in offense. They did. The Panthers defense was predicted to be last in 2020. Carolina ended up 24th.
I don't foresee Tyrod runnning into another Justin Herbert situation this season.
