Realistically, when will Houston make the playoffs?

[bayoudreamn]

Realistically speaking and knowing how good the Colts are, when do you guys honestly believe you will make your first playoffs?

I think we (the Titans) will make definitely in '08, but maybe '07. So my answer would be '08 for the Titans. I picked '09 for you guys because Peyton Will be old then and you will have your QB questions resolved by then.

The question was "realistically".....Bud is your owner.....you will never make the playoffs.

 

[bayoudreamn]

We can beat the Colts....... we were a bad team, with a piss poor offense, and we take them into the 4th quarter every game. If our defense can get us some stops, and our coach loose the reigns on our offense, we'd have beat them 8 times by now.

I agree

 

[bayoudreamn]

expect mediocrity, and you'll get a 2-14 team.


Expect to win, and you'll be 13-3.

I agree 2.

 

[bayoudreamn]

Our offseason was laughable?

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.

Super Mario can beat up all the guys you mentioned....at the same time.

 

[jerek]

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.

Don't get me wrong: the Jags are a solid team from top to bottom (though I still think Leftwich is a joke.) But it was only the season before last that we swept y'all. There isn't, IIRC, some dramatic difference in the composition of your team since then. The most positive thing you have gained in that time is continuity and a sense of gelling amongst your team; which is hugely important, and undoubtedly you have that up on the Texans right now. Talent-wise, we've closed the gap, and coaching wise, we've closed the gap. We're rivals and we played you competitively throughout most of both games, even this last year. IMO that gives us a legitimate chance to steal one from you.

 

[Hardcore Texan]

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.)

Not sure I follow....I would be happy if we split all these games. It would be nice to at least sweep the Titans, but I could live with going 3-3 in the division. My original statement was in response to someone that always take a stab at Carr every chance he gets.....like or not he is our qb and the perosnal vendetta is getting old. It is okay to criticize and all, especially if it is sometimes constructive, but geez...

The Titans sortof went to a SB a few years back....

 

[z0rpAn]

I say we split with the Colts, Split with the Titans and roll the Jags. My prediction is that we barely squeeze into or barely fall short of the playoffs.

All of us as Texans fans know, our team has the talent and as aggresive as this offseason is sounding and the compitence of the coaching staff and players on the schemes, its hard for me to stear away from us flirting with a playoff seed this year. Others that don't pay attention to the Texans, the rest of the NFL, don't know about the talented team that we do. Of all honesty, Jax and Tennesee aren't very good. Jaxonville has a hard nosed D but thats about it. We've been trading games with these teams for four years now under a poor staff. Call me a Homer on this post but I honestly believe that this team wont go below 500. Now with a staff that knows the positions they are coaching, we can reveal the true talant of this TEAM.

Ok, I'll call you a homer. How can you say that Jacksonville is not very good? Please don't bring up the "easy schedule" thing. A 12-4 season and playoff appearance with the number of injuries that we had is not exactly the example of "not very good".

Honestly, 2008 is a realistic goal for the Texans.

We've discussed the "ease of schedule" thing, but besides the D, is Jax really all that good? Where do you see the Jags O this season? Fred Taylor is a good RB but is as injury prone as DD and has a lot more wear and tear on his body. You have some interesting matchups with yor receiving corps, but is Leftwich really the QB to get the job done? I think the Texans can match up to y'all head-to-head pretty well. Matt Jones is the biggest threat I see. Is he better than AJ or EM? With his size and speed, he could be. I'm guessing on some of this. I enjoy the NFL but LOVE the Texans and pay much more attention to them than the rest of the league. Kinda makes me a homer, too.

 

[jagibelieve]

I understand what you are saying about being a homer DocBar. I know more about our team than any other NFL team. To answer your questions honestly. I think the O is improved over last season. First and most important is the O line. Bringing Barnes in at LT for the latter part of the season gave him some valuable experience, especially when his play was better than Salaam and Pearson. At RT Williams is back, and fully recovered from injury issues from last season as is Meester. The health of the O line is really key for us.

Yes Fred Taylor is a question as always. However, this season he is coming back healthy, and not recovering from any kind of injury or off season surgery like he was last season. Behind him is a pounder in Greg Jones and a very good rookie prospect in Drew. The other 3 backs on the roster are decent veterans, although none really stand out as elite.

Honestly I do feel that Leftwich is the QB to get it done. His greatest strengths are his ability to see the whole field and spread the ball around. He also has the best arm of our 3 QB's and has improved over the last 3 seasons. If he plays all 16 games he will easily be in the top 10 as far as QB ranking.

At receiver, Matt Jones is coming along well, and has some really big shoes to fill with Jimmy Smith retireing. Earnest Wilford is a really good possesion receiver, and we do have another rookie prospect at TE with Lewis.

Overall, the biggest factor for our offense is health and lack of injuries, just like any other NFL team. You are right, we do match up very well. As I have said before on numerous other threads, the key for your team is fixing the O line first.

 

[HJam72]

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

Are you sure, 'cuz I don't remember beating the Boy Scouts?

 

[DocBar]

Are you sure, 'cuz I don't remember beating the Boy Scouts?

Only cuz we didn't play them!!!!

 

[TexanBorn51]

One too many for the cat eh I like that pic. Well the Oilers did it back in 1975 and such and one game from the Super B. They turned it around pretty quick with some coach and player changes...check out that five year era. Houston was in a frenzy with a surprising welcome. Man did that Tyler Rose opened up some NFL fans eyes back then.

Don't mean to provoke the argument anymore, but the Jags strength of schedule last year was 0.465 (7th easiest in the league). For comparison's sake the Texans' strength of schedule was 5th hardest in the league at 0.535.

I love that about tack fans. They like to play the "we used to" card all the time. I guess it makes being in the cellar that much more tolerable.

To get back on topic, I still stand by my earlier prediction of the Texans making it to the playoffs in 08.

So, by that reasoning you shouldn't even talk about your 12-4 record last year. Cause that was in the "past" ... right?

When the Jags or Texans get to a Super Bowl we will continue this conversation.

'06







and the Titans will be dragging ass in the AFC south.

I am going to ask you a serious question:

You stated that the Texans will make the playoffs this year correct? Well you do realize that you need 10+ wins to make the playoffs. You do realize that you have one of the hardest schedules in the league.

So by that statement are you saying the Texans will go 10-6, 11-5?

Because you do realize that going 8-8 and 9-7 doesn't get you in the playoffs, right?

 

[Tulip]

I'm optimistic about 2007. It seems like too much for this year, but I think they have shot next year.

Now, I'm not optimistic that they'll win their first playoff game that soon. I get a lot of flack at home for saying things like this - but the Texans are a team that needs to learn to win.

There is no doubt in my mind, that we will get between 10 & 13 wins...... I'm predicting 13-3.. avg 30 points pergame, allowing less than 18 points per game.... & sending 3 players to the porbowl....... Dunta, Mario, and DD.

We're sweeping the Jags, and the Titans......... I've said we'll sweep the whole division, but realistically, we might lose one game to the Colts.... maybe.

30 points? Before Eric Moulds I could name 3 people on your offense and I follow the NFL closely. You're in dream land if you think the Texans are averaging 30 points a game. David Carr shows ZERO proof that he can even lead your team to an 8-8 season, much less a winning season at all. And you're proclaiming 13-3????

I was quoting my minimum... and going 3 - 3 adds some credibility that the changes by all involved mean something. If we win at home... that is "so much the better".

 

[Vambo, the Marble Eye]

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!!!

That's a pretty good workup, IMO. However I would add to that that we *can* beat the Titans twice, the Giants, the Jags once, and the Redskins, of those the Giants being the least likely to lose to us. I don't see us beating the Colts this year and I think 10-6 is *possible* within any reasonable probability. Now of course, of those wins that you highlight, it is also quite possible that we will drop 1-3 of those ... IMO 9 wins max this year. I have no idea where in the world tkyss is pulling 13 out of ... I'm not going to say it's *impossible* ... but that we're going to have to witness a turnaround of epic and historical proportions in terms of our team gelling and catching lucky breaks (e.g. multiple key injuries to opponents).

Crike, I meant to include them but didn't. I agree ... it's a rivalry game, and we're talking two teams of now comparable talent and coaching. I think it's very possible we beat the Cowgirls and in some ways this season will be a success if we do that and little else. Don't know who will cover TO but I figure we can limit the rest of their offense ... should be a time for our D and our blitz game to shine.

you know that story about the little boy who stuck his finger in the dam?? where he believed if he took his finger out, then the dam will be overpowered, and just break?? & the town will be overflowed by the power and rush of the Water??

Well in Houston, Capers was the finger..... so you better watch out....

I've always believed our two biggest problems, were our conservative approach on both sides of the ball, and depth...... both have been adressed.

4 out of our 5 OLinemen have been "practicing" their run blocking techniques for the past two seasons..... our QB was a bit cramped with options on who to throw the ball to........ he now has a plethora of targets, and if he has to dump off to DD...... the little fella has proven to be an effective reciever out of the backfield.

We've got two #1 recievers, and a guy who likes to throw deep......... not bad, when both our #1s are speedsters. Then we've got Mathis...... and a whole stable of young fast recievers, and runningbacks who can catch the ball...... whether we are in a two wideout set, four Wides, single back.... we will never have less than 4 legit recieving threats on the field.... and none of them are rookies...

Defensively, our linemen are going to pressure the QB all day long..... because that's all they've got to do.... And we've either got 1st round talent, or late round picks who've overachieved. Williams, Smith, Payne, Babin, Peek, Kalu, Weaver...... we'll be sending them deep into the 4th qtr...... fresh, ready to go.

two 1st round Corners..... both capable of playing shutdown coverage........ put them in cover 2 situations, with the pass rush I'm envisioning........ it's over, call it a day..... you won't be passing on these two..

30 points on offense, less than 18 given up by the deffense.....

I will always go back to the Oiler era around 74-77 when it comes to people bragging that a team cannot turn it around in a season or two. They most definitely did I would post the history stats again but I already did the whole schmoo on another posts months ago. they were something like 4 wins one season to all of sudden one game from the Super B and a few playoffs. They changed coaches and a few players and they were on their way. I challenge anyone to contest those stats during that year or two... check it out. They can do it yes it is possible stats are good but only numbers that don't show many actual reasons why they are the way they are numerically. THe last four games last year they had points man but lost in the 4th by strong offense but it was really weak defense procedures, players, and coaching to mention a few. By the way strong teams are known to go the other way too like going down. They say once your on top it's hard to stay on top for good. TheTexans really-listically can go to the playoffs this year. Last week I was in Vegas and Laughlin at other times and its' 8/1 odds right now to win the division. I layed it down.

I will always go back to the Oiler era around 74-77 when it comes to people bragging that a team cannot turn it around in a season or two.

Yeah, 1-13 in 73, 7-7 in 74, and then 10-4 in 75 but that wsan't the year they went deep in the playoffs.

Then they back to 5-9 in 76, 8-6, and FINALLY 10-6 in 78 and one game from the SB. So it wasn't really an immediate turn around.

Those two 1-13 seasons were from hell, though. Aaaack.

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.

QBs get too much credit when things work and too much blame when things don't. It doesn't come down to who has the best QB, it comes down to the team who has the best team. Floyd Reese is a much better GM than Casserly ever was. Years of good drafts versus years of poor drafts will give Tennessee the edge, not a single player.
