**Official Game-Day Thread** Texans at Titans, Sunday Jan 1, 2017!!

Bulls on Parade said:
Supertoad and Hervoyel will likely be the first ones celebrating when the Texans win their home wild-card game next weekend, advancing to the divisional round for the third time in franchise history. That's as far as we've ever been!

We lost to a backup qb today in the Titans and couldn't score much. If by some miracle we win next week why would I celebrate? The next week we would be crushed and absolutely decimated. We can't beat the Patriots... Even on our best day. They have a better coach , a better QB, and a better game plan.

We don't even know who our qb is next week...

I love the Texans I am just jaded and fed up with the sameness and mediocrity year in and year out. Every year we are promised better and every year it is a lie

If we reach the divisional round I would call it an amazing year for the 2016 Houston Texans. We didn't even have our best player, J.J. Watt.

And with all of the struggles and uncertainty at the quarterback position we would have advanced as far as we've ever been in franchise history. Twice before we reached the divisional round on the road but lost.

I just think you're viewing things all wrong. I'm thankful we've gone as far as we have this year. It sure beats sitting at home for the playoffs hoping for next year.

Winning a playoff game next weekend would be amazing...
I would certainly welcome it and I'll celebrate it as well.

You make some valid points for sure. The Cowboys are a team I hate so I hope they fail. But I might like their failure more if they fail in the Super Bowl in a big way.

I hate that once again in our conference the Pats are the team to beat.

Well, get used to it.

Did you see the plays Floyd was making for them today. This is the difference between a team/org that's all in it to win it and the Texans org.

It's also why BOB probably wont be back after this season. He's an all in it to win it kinda guy if the Glazer report is true.

I'm sure some will be very happy with that.

Come on, your arguments gotta be fair. We had our backup QB as well for majority of the game. And Cassell was doing nothing until he started going up against our special teams unit.
 
It is not like the Texans were fully vested in winning. I saw some signs of hope in regards to our offense in the second half. The Titans have a telented and well coached defense and with our defense playing mostly backups we still hung in there against the Titans.

I thought the football played by our offense was better. Of coarse we can't expect to be going for it on fourth down in the redzone like we did in this game that really didn't mean as much to us as it did the Titans. It was a lets end the season on a feel good note for them and for us it was a lets just come out without any major injuries and for sure make sure our top rated defense is prepared and healthy for the playoffs kind of game for us.

I'd rather win without idiots that like to drink and drive or beat up women. Thank you very much. I support Bob McNair on that one. Since our expansion season in 2002 we have the fewest arrests of any NFL team. That's a stat I'm proud of as a Houston Texans fan.

And I applaud the Arizona Cardinals for cutting his ass...
I don't care how good he plays for the Patriots.

I've lost respect for that entire Patriots organization over the years. Spy-gate, the Aaron Hernandez situation and deflate-gate. Their owner Robert Kraft flat out supported a murderer, initially, for crying out loud.

There will always be a stain on their success over the years. I wouldn't want to win the way they do. I'd rather win with a group of great men. I felt the same way when somebody brought up that the Houston Cougars should have shown some mutual interest in bringing back Art Briles as head coach (thankfully we didn't even consider him). Winning football games isn't more important than moral fiber to me.

Bet you wouldn't feel this way if you were forced to buy playoff tickets or lose your PSL $$$$.
 
Osweiler deserves to start in the playoff game. He showed much more than Savage did while Savage was in there. I like Savage but I think it's time to move on after three years. We can do better with the few quarterback spots we have on the roster.

Tell me more about this winning thing. What is it?

BTW, if the Texans get lucky they may be meeting up with BB/Brady/Floyd. Would you still feel the same way if Floyd catches a GW TD to knock the Texans out of the playoffs.

Feel how you want, point is the Texans are at a competitive disadvantage. We can just disagree whether that's OK or not.

You are the guy that is in a great mood and chippy at 6am aren't you? Your enthusiasm while admirable is a bit grating on the nerves. I mean that in the nicest possible way...

If you want the same crap year after year then be happy. I want us to actually be contenders at least for the AFC title. No point in making the playoffs if you don't get far. We need to improve and not remain stagnant.

We have the #1 defense statically in the NFL and the worst offense. That is an issue
 
If we lose 100-0 to a backup qb in round 1 McNair will keep Rick Smith, Brock, and the whole team likely. It sucks that rich people who know nothing about football can own a football team. I wish the Texans could be owned by fans similar to the Packers and have a board.

Have you considered that maybe we have been seen as not having a quality Qb in part due to BO'b? As opposed to how he gets the most from the least. It seems to me we don't fully appreciate how Crennels defense covers up a ton of warts by our offense due to the inflexible mindset of BO'b. The team that should have made the playoffs in our division is the Titans. Had they not been under their interim coach last week we may have had a lot more on the line in todays game.

BO'b is too set in stone on his way of doing things and it is that mindset that will not allow our team to perform as well as it should.

Palease!!!! He didn't do **** until the idiot coach finally made an adjustment. Even then his accuracy issues are beyond horrible.

I have considered this,

Then I found out Rick Didn't pick Jimmy G when BOB wanted him too. Then McNair wouldn't ok the Hill pick for BOB. (According to Glazer)

That tells me BOB isn't getting the players he needs to win. I wonder how many other times this has happened in the draft? Surely these aren't the only 2 times this has happened. There's a lot of dysfunction in the Texans org (Shocking) if the Glazer report is true.

You have a HC that will do what it takes to win and McNair/Smith that wont give him the resources he needs.

Under the proper tutelege Os may have ironed out some of those issues by now but not under this coaching staff and being managed in the way he was managed and coached almost all season.
 
We need these poor people to stand up and take ownership of the Texans, because they know more about football than these rich folks. hahahaah

How does Glazer know all of this? Do we have a rat somewhere in the mix telling this man every tad bit on the Texans.

First offensive series of the game, Savage fumbles resulting in touchdown for Titans. What game were you watching???
 
Hervoyel said:
Did you watch that play? He had guys piling on him the moment he stopped to plant and look downfield. Not just "a" defender but a pile of guys rolling over his own guys. It was terrible and you want to lay that on Savage?

I would love to watch football with some of these guys. check that, no I wouldn't. I'd probably have a stroke. LOL

Come on man.

Plenty of coaches have succeeded with other peoples ingredients because they knew how to adapt and coach. While it is nice to know that your organization supports you all the way if they don't and you don't like it you can make due and adjust as needed with what you have or quit and find a job more to your liking. Nobody forced BO'b to be this teams head coach.

I do not buy that BO'b has been totally phazed out in regards to having any say in personel and the running of the team. If this were true he most likely would not still be the head coach.

Also I don't see Garoppolo as being any better than what we have had during the O'Brien years. To me he is just another sub par Qb along the lines of Matt Cassel who left NE and merely managed to be a decent Qb one season after he left. As you see now, he is a career backup.

Tom Brady doesn't just manage the NE offense he owns and commands it. That is the difference between him and any other Qb the Pats have played since Tom took over the Qb job. Yes the Pats have won games without Tom Brady but without him they are no real SB threat.

How can anyone blame play calling for throwing idiotic INTs on a regular basis?

Agreed. but you can never win big unless the whole org is on board together. BOB's won to a lesser degree that you've described in spite of Rick. Nobody quits multi million $$$$ jobs.

Have you studied Jimmy G? I have since he was in college and we will have to agree to disagree on this one.

I would bet you that Os negates plenty of those ints with more TD's and most likely fewer picks. All I know is that when BO'b made offensive adjustments both Os and TS looked better. Only problem is that he rarely went with what seemed to suit his Qb's best.

Os is no savior but this team could at least be a full two games better if BO'b adapted and put his Qb's in the best positions to succeed at a much higher level.

Aside of that we are lucky to be 9-7 as opposed to 8-8.

It wasn't Osweiler that made the difference. it was the change to the uptempo offense & putting Aboushi in for Allen.

We took a step back, imo, when Allen came back & Sua-filo sat out.
