Realistically, when will Houston make the playoffs?

[Hervoyel]

I don't really know how to answer this question because in order to do that I would have to know something about the Texans and honestly I don't think any of us have a truly accurate gauge of what they're going to look like next year. It could easily be 2007 or it could be 2011 if they have to start over again "if" Kubiak is a mistake (which I don't believe for the record but it is a possibility).

Teams that are four years old shouldn't have this many question marks about them.

 

[jerek]

If you sweep the AFC south then that means this summer Manning will break his back, Vince and Volek will break their back forcing us to play Matt Mauck, and the entire Jags defense will suffer from cancer.

You honestly believe we can't sweep the Titans? ... The Colts, nuff said. The Jags are a well rounded, well coached team that emphasizes defense. The Titans aren't a well rounded team, the jury's still out on your coaching, and frankly I think we are a more talented team at this point in time. Your offseason was laughable with the possible exception of landing developmental project VY, and as we swept you only two years ago, I'm not sure why you seem to think (other than that you are a Titan fan) that we can't sweep you now. I wouldn't bet on it, but I surely wouldn't bet against it either.

Either way I hope you will still be on this board when we rip VY a new one. This is the year we get to take advantage of him: I expect in 2-3 years he will have his NFL wits about him and then the rivalry of all rivalries will be renewed. I for one am glad you guys got him -- it will make our games that much more high-stakes, every win that much sweeter, and every loss that much harder to stomach. Will be the stuff of sports legend for years to come.

 

[Tx'nFanLostInSkinCountry]

IMO we will make the play-offs in o7.But i'm still hoping Kub can come in with a winning metality and have our team play-off bound this year.(has a-lot of work to do though) As far as our div. IMO the bolts realy missed the mark letting Edge go if I'm not mistaken he is consitered the best blocking back in the NFL right now. With out him to help protect PM I see mario,greenwood,demeco,and company having a field day in the colts backfield. Granted one player does not make a team but Edge was/is a team player and did everything (run,catch,and block) very well for the colts. I think they will not be the same team without him. So I think our chance of spliting these two games is VERY real and a sweep is not out of the question. Manning has alway had time to look down field IMO because of that sec. that Edge gave him in the blocking game, Guess what this year thats gone to AZ.

How about the additions of:

Chris Hope
David Givens
Kevin Mawae (5 Pro Bowls)
David Thornton
Vince Young
LenDale White

You're telling me you wouldn't want them on your team? There's 3 Superbowls and 3 NCAA National Championships amongst those players and we had a laughable offseason?

You will split with us and lose out to Jax and the Colts. That's the reality of it. The Titans and Texans will be around 5-11, 6-10.

If you think the Texans had a better offseason than the Titans, you let me know why. I'd like to hear it.

I wouldn't say laughable, but not exactly stellar either. The Titans could have added just about anybody and it would have been an improvement. Seriously. Sure, 3 of the players came from NCAA Championship teams, but this ain't college anymore. Once the rookie class start taking snaps in the NFL, only then can you really judge their talent. To do otherwise is just plain silly.

You mention Kevin Mawae. Sure he has been to pro bowls in the past, but he is also an ageing offensive lineman, hardly a replacement for the future.

You also mention David Givens. Look at who he has been catching passes from. Probably the best quarterback in the game. It remains to be seen what he will do playing with Volek or Young.

So I guess any receiver who has had a good QB isn't as good as you think he is.

I have been consistent on this Lucky. I am not a fan of a high prcied QB on our roster.

 

[jagibelieve]

So I guess any receiver who has had a good QB isn't as good as you think he is.

That could be true to a point. Any good offense / good quarterback will make a receiver look better than he is, just like a GREAT receiver will make an average quarterback look better. Givens isn't exactly a "stat king". He was rated #29 as far as receiving yards last season. One stat that he is up there on is receiving touchdowns. However, he's not exactly a receiver that DB's fear.

 

[thunderkyss]

So I guess any receiver who has had a good QB isn't as good as you think he is.

The problem is at best, Givens is a #2........ you signed him to be your #1.

How about the additions of:

Chris Hope Underrated guy, good addition.
David Givens Way overrated, your team paid way too much for him. I glad we didn't get him ourselves.
Kevin Mawae (5 Pro Bowls) Old and got badly injured last year, won't be in the same Pro Bowl form. He might struggle to make the team.
David Thornton Decent guy out of Indy's system, won't be much of an impact.
Vince Young Talented, but a major project. He won't make an impact too early on.
LenDale White JMO, but LenDale fell to the 2nd round for good reason. He only did as well as he did in college b/c of USC's O-line.

You're telling me you wouldn't want them on your team? There's 3 Superbowls and 3 NCAA National Championships amongst those players and we had a laughable offseason?

Responses in bold.

 

[HOU-TEX]

If Lendale gets his s--- together, I think he's got a chance at being really good. He's more of a North/South RB. I think he hurt Texas just as much as Bush did in the championship.IMO

 

[Titan "Tack" Fan]

Responses in bold.

So I guess Reggie was only good in college because of USC's line too? Those 24 TDs by LenDale weren't only because of a good O-Line.

So I guess Larry Johnson was good last year because of the Chiefs O-Line.

That's true, but again, your talking about college performance. The NFL defenses are faster and stronger than any college defense. He has a lot of potential, but as far as I'm concerned, I would rather judge a rookie after I see him play a few NFL games (not pre-season).

 

[DocBar]

So I guess any receiver who has had a good QB isn't as good as you think he is.

Givens was on the Txans last year??? He IS the best QB in the league.
The tacks had a pretty good offseason, but I actually think they are in a worse state of flux than the Texans. Who's the RB this year? Fumbles or IR?
QB?? HAHAHAHAHA....no seriously...HAHAHAHA
Didn't y'all have some turnover on the OL?
The D wasn't exactly great last year either. How exactly does Pacman"papa smurf"Jones cover AJ or EM? Hard to run on stilts.
I'll take the Texans over the Titans (read as SWEEP) and am willing to put up the $$$ to back it up. I'm sure I messed up on some of my stuff, but it's way easier to be corrected on here than to do the actual research!

I understand this. I've always been partial to the old school bruising type back rather than the tippy-toed juker. I'm just saying I think he has a lot of potential if he gets his act together.

Here is a correction for you. 1) Givens played with Tom Brady last year. 2) Tom Brady is probably the best quarterback in the league. 3) Givens is a WR.

Oh I agree 100%. I would rather have a way good running game than a good passing game. I also agree that he does have potential, I just want to see him play in an NFL game.

Mawae was a decent pickup but you have to acknowledge that he is on the decline. Lendale White was and is a joke who made it in college on athleticism ... we'll see how far ManBoobs takes your running game in the pros. VY is a project and I don't expect him to have much of a positive impact this year. Givens is a solid pickup but not IMO superior to Moulds; Givens was clearly a supporting cast rather than a key player or leader in those 3 Super Bowls. Thornton was also a decent but unspectacular pickup but we'll see how he does in the scheme change.

I think we will quite possibly split with the Jags and may -- may -- even sweep. We will at least split with the Titans and will quite possibly sweep them. Forgive me if I don't embrace your view of the "reality" -- given that you believe the Titans will make the playoffs before we do.

As for the Texans' offseason, we acquired all-world DE talent in Mario Williams. We acquired Weaver, a very solid DT/DE to help shore up the inside. We got Demeco Ryans -- a very solid LB who is expected to start for us. We got two starting-caliber OL in the third. Putzier is a solid but unspectacular TE. Moulds is a legitimate #2 WR threat. Many of our returning players are putting in amazing work in the offseason. Most importantly we acquired an amazing new coaching staff with a serious tradition of winning at the pro level and renown for their ability to utilize personnel wisely within their proven schemes. Time will tell but I think we are easily the better team right now.

 

[Titan "Tack" Fan]

Point is, based on the draft and their college careers, the Titans have the potential to be a top the AFC south within 3 years.

 

[DocBar]

Here is a correction for you. 1) Givens played with Tom Brady last year. 2) Tom Brady is probably the best quarterback in the league. 3) Givens is a WR.

OK...let me explain. I'm sitting in an apartment in Lyon France with nothing else to do but post stuff on here. I ran out of good stuff a week or so ago. Cut a guy some slack. Brady is definitely high on my top 2 list of QBs in the league. That guy has the same magic Montana had. Also, I forgot to add Carr on the part about the best QB in the league. It was meant to be funny. This is a fun message board. Don't be too uptight. I'll start using the thing a little more often.

 

[thunderkyss]

LOL, exactly how can you say that the Jags and Colts had easy schedules last season?

We played the AFC South, the AFC North, and the NFC West.......

4 easy games against the Titans and The Texans
2 easy games against Baltimore, and Clevland.
3 easy games, St Louis, SanFran, and Arizona

That's nine games.

1 game... you beat Seattle, holding Alexander to 73 yards.... good job
2 games against Indy........ lost both
1 game, you lost to Denver
1 game... you beat Cincinatti..... good job
1 Game.... you beat Pittsburgh....... good job

So against the good teams, you're 3 for 6.....

6 tough opponents out of 16 total games, a little more than 1/3rd........ while not a cakewalk, it isn't a difficult schedule, like what you're going to see in '06.

2/3rds of your opponents finished the season under .500

 

[thunderkyss]

Soo, you're counting on this years draft in order to be able to go to the playoffs by next year? Geesh, whatever! I think somebodies been peeing in your Wheaties ever since the draft. Get over it already.:brickwall

NO, I'm saying if we don't expect to start winning until the '08 season(the third football seasons from now) then we should've addressed the draft differently.....

might as well start rebuilding.

2007, Imo.

Especially when they are playing on the best College team ever.....

They'd be lucky to play in the NFL, where you've got a heck of a WR, one of the best college football QBs in the league, two "1st round" running backs, and All Conference Linemen at 4 out of 5 OL positions........

In the NFL, that would be like having a probowler at every spot, and two in the backfield..... not likely to happen.

I didn't say we wouldn't start winning until 08. I was talking playoffs. Playoff births in the AFC don't come as easily like the NFC. IMO, 8-8 this year, 9-7 or 10-6 next year then Playoff bound in 08. I think we had an excellent draft this year. I just think it's going to take a little more to get that infamous playoff birth.

The only way I see your team splitting or sweeping the Jaguars is if (God forbid) there happens to be major injuries involved for the Jaguars. Your team is good, and getting better, but is just out of reach of sweeping the Jags.

I have said it before and I'll say it again. If you really improve the O line, Carr's skill will shine. That would be the first priority, and it seems to be in the process of being addressed. Your team also needs to upgrade the defense. Again, this is in the process of being addressed.

From the outside looking in, I think the Texans made the right choice with the #1 pick this season IF he pans out and proves to be as good as the Texans are betting on.

You just have to understand that this process takes a bit of time. I have no doubt that the Texans are a better team this season, and I am pretty sure they can sweep the Titans, but I just don't see them beating the Jagaurs this season.

 

[srstex]

Looking at recent history the Texans have as good a chance making the playoffs as 20 other teams. We have beaten the Jags, we have beaten the Titans, as for the Colts-well we have beaten the Jags & Titans. It is not even pre-season so I can say with-out a doubt that we can make the play-offs THIS year. No pipe dream, no beer, yet, just the fact that on any given Sunday we can win. ESPN only makes safe picks or high profile teams, but every year at least one team, that no-one expected to be there, makes it. Look at last years Bears, using the old Raven formula, we can win, and we will win. This coaching staff makes me optimistic about this season. The talent to date has been good, the play sub-par, but the coaching staff should never have accepted the losses, and changes were too late in coming for me.
This has been a great off season, Putzier-Weaver-A. Smith-Flannagen-Kalu, all have been in our systems, and they all have had a certain amount of success in the NFL over the years. So why not look at the play offs THIS year, the future is now.

 

[TK_Gamer]

So I guess Reggie was only good in college because of USC's line too? Those 24 TDs by LenDale weren't only because of a good O-Line.

So I guess Larry Johnson was good last year because of the Chiefs O-Line.

with roaf and shields in , yes he did benefit from their line, why do you think the main stat for an o-lineman is rushing yards produced?

I will agree with you on your comments about us starting to improve our O-line and Defense this season, something we will hopefully be continuing.

But I will state that the fact that most Texans fans believe we will be so much better this year is only partially resulted from our players (I'd say about 40-50% at the most) and more to do with our new coaching staff. I particularly like what I've read about our TE couch and our trenches coaches, not to mention Kubiak and Sherman. The young shanahan at wr is a variable, but he worked with Galloway and Clayton at Tampa. I think we could improve our coaching in the LB department though.

The only thing I'm concerned about on our defense is our LB corps . I don't see our rookies (Or Hodgen) stepping in the O-line this season (Except for injury reasons), but I will have to say I think once the O-line learn the scheme our rushing game will be much better and hopefully our over-abundance of weapons and the prior mentioned running attack can slow down the constant bull-rush the Texans had to face last year. Our last 10 games will show how much improvement our team has really made.

Good luck with the Jaguars, they are number 2 on my division fav list (#3 on my afc list behind the steelers, and #4 on my overall nfl list behind the Eagles) Love your defense, except of course when playing the Texans.

The only knock on them I have is your fans really get on my nerves (Your an exception, your not a butt-munching troll )

Sorry, but you won 2 games last year. There are only a handful of teams that are worse than the Texans. The Titans and Texans are both in the bottom 6-7 teams in the NFL. Face it.

But it's not like you wupped us.... in the last game, we were leading at the half, and had the lead again in the 4th quarter. then we missed a field goal, you score on a short field, then David throws an INT, and you score again on a short field.

Again, we were leading at the half of the first game.... You score early in the third, because Carr fumbled the ball on our 29 yard line....... till then you were just going 3 & out.... then you finally take the lead with 3 minutes left in the 4th.

all we have to do, is learn how to close games out, and we'll sweep the jags... think about it, a 2-14 team took your over-rated team to the wire in one game, and had the lead at one time of another in the 4th both games.....


Edit: So sorry, thought I was arguing with the Jags fan....... all this, is referring to our games against the jags...

I wouldn't even argue the fact we are going to sweep the Titans, that's a given.

But it's not like you wupped us.... in the last game, we were leading at the half, and had the lead again in the 4th quarter. then we missed a field goal, you score on a short field, then David throws an INT, and you score again on a short field.

Now that is the best edit I have ever seen. You had me cracking up, and good post btw.

The year after we let David Carr go. I also happen to think that the titans will reach the playoffs a lot sooner rather than later...I believe in Vince Young.

So not for a few years then since he was extended, hopefully alot of years. I hope he turns out to be a great QB for the Texans for a long time and we go to the playoffs on multiple occasions.....and if he proves you wrong, well that's just a bonus.

You're wrong. Yes, you have beaten the Titans, but you got swept by us last year. I don't get your point. Yes ANY TEAM IN THE LEAGUE has a CHANCE at the playoffs, but your chance is much lower. Sorry, but you won 2 games last year. There are only a handful of teams that are worse than the Texans. The Titans and Texans are both in the bottom 6-7 teams in the NFL. Face it.

We got swept by everybody but the Boy Scouts last year. The Titans have been there so quit yer *****in.

In 2006 if the Texans split with the Jags, Titans and the Colts this year, with wins by the respective home team... will your head explode?

It is not whether we make the playoffs or when... it is about THIS YEAR! As a minimum, we need... 4 wins and a bunch of "close ones" to wash out the stench of last year's effort... and the 4 wins that would do it for me would be the Jags, Titans, Colts and Cowboys. (and there will be a party at my house.)

I take umbrage with that. You, sir, are obviously a Colts fan. If the Texans don't win 17 games this year, it will be a crime!!! A CRIME, I say!!!
