NFL has put the Texans in the 3:30 game on wild card weekend this season!
Click to expand...

The Texans are expected to be in the playoffs, and I think that's fair. They are an above average team right now, and with as many teams making the playoff brackets these days, above average teams have an excellent chance for a wild card game. If the Texans ever fix their (expletive deleted) frigging oline they'll become better than just above average and they'll start winning more of those big games they have often lost in the past.

I'm very interested in seeing how the Texans play against the top tier teams in the AFC this season the two games I have in mind is the game is Sunday night prime time against the Ravens in Baltimore and the prime afternoon game against the Chiefs in Arrowhead I hope the games are close in the worst scenario but in the best I would love to CJ step up in the biggest moments in those games I think those games will be a good judge of our season and what to expect in the future if that means taking the next step into the higher tier of play in the AFC or staying mediocre and course correcting

The Texans young receivers should be getting their NFL legs under them by WK5 (BAL), but by WK12 (BUF) and WK14 (KC) they won’t be rookies anymore.

Agree, even with the inexperience at receiver, a total reshuffling of the line and a first time play caller, they still look like the class of the division to me. The Jags have arguably made the most improvement in the offseason, and the Jags now have serious firepower on offense. But Goldilocks isn’t CJ, and their D was bad last year. Did they do enough there? I’d say no. Still…I have them in 2nd place…possibly could push for a WC spot. I have Colts in a close 3rd. And the Tits again bringing up the rear.

Goldilocks as you call him has had a very inconsistent career at Qb but has shown he can be as good or better than CJ. There are many variables that go into both young men's career successes and short comings. I think the AFC South is shaping up to be a solid much improved division. There won't be any reason to overlook any of the teams we play this season. Demeco needs to make sure his team stays hungry and mentally and physically prepared each and every week they play.

Im going to disagree. Trevor has been good to very good in patches, but never consistently. He fights with his reads beyond the primary target, and his ball placement is anywhere from great to mediocre at best. He does have wheels and a plus arm, and with his weapons they have assembled, he has a chance to out it all together but im not buying it until i see it.

Fair enough Porky. I agree that he has merely been good to very good in patches but like I said there are many variables to that being the case. I have seen enough to believe we better not overlook him. New coaches, new teammates and a new season and there is no telling how things will come out in the wash so to speak. I understand your point about not buying it till you see it. We will see how this season plays out.

Projected win totals for Texans and 2025 opponents

The Houston Texans are favored in over half of their games for the 2025 season en route to what could be a third consecutive season.
texanswire.usatoday.com

DraftKings has released its projected win totals for the 2025 NFL season. Coming off a slightly underwhelming 2024 season, the Texans' expected win total is greater in 2025. But what about their opponents?
Click to expand...

How did DraftKings come up with these numbers? Who in the hail knows.
 
Everybody knows things happen and you can't predict season totals. Right now, the Texans are the class of the AFC South and we "should" be right back in the playoffs in January. But, what happens if CJ misses a lot of time due to injuries? Texans season tanks. What happens if the oline gets its act together and we kick ass this season? We all know to much **** can happen during the season and teams don't perform (good or bad) as expected.

In Houston, it all depends on if the oline gets it act together. A lot of the other pieces are falling into place, but the oline is a big fat question mark you can't get around.

I think the Rams will be a good game that we could lose. The Bucs are good, but I don’t think they added enough on defense during the offseason. I think we come out on top against the Bucs and Jags.

I know the same could be said about the Texans, but don't the Bucs have a new OC? I know that every Bucs OC gets a HC job the following year, but still, we don't know what they will be. Again, I know the same thing can be said about the Texans.

So... 13-4?
 
Not quite as bad as last year, but the Texans again playing at a net rest disadvantage for 2025..

texans-at-the-rest-disadvantage-again-v0-wivz6zkbd61f1.jpeg


..also New Orleans playing 3 different teams coming off of their byes and Las Vegas playing 6 total times, including 5 of multiple days, at a negative rest is kinda ridiculous.

tanking for 2027 draft...I know Arch eligible for 2026 but more evidence for him not come than to, imo
Click to expand...

Agreed, starting just one year of college doesn't prepare him to go into the NFL, no matter what his last name is. Even more so due to the NIL money he'll be getting (which will depend on his last name). :money:
 
Lucky said:
I'm sure the NIL money is good. Just not NFL #1 overall good.
Click to expand...
  • Manning's NIL valuation of $6.5 million is significantly higher than any other college athlete, according to On3 Sports.
    Caleb Williams signed a four-year, $39.49 million guaranteed deal with the Chicago Bears, including a $25.5 million signing bonus. His contract also includes a fifth-year option. 3.5 million in a year matters I am sure, but that amount might be enough in many if most cases where leaving college early isn't about pure cash...and I meaning beyond even a wealthy family like Munnings
    Just saying improving your craft at 21 to 23 years old and getting paid multi-million dollars does not suck as a life decision,

I think we will go 4-0 and then lose to Baltimore.

The most soulcrushing outcome. This is a nice play. You clearly have a lot of pain behind your eyes. Beating the other teams would not influence your outlook on the Texans' season. However, that BAL game definitely will.

This reminds me of the season we were undefeated until the SNF game against GB when Jordy Nelson and Aaron Rodgers decided they were going to take the game over and retire our playoff hopes for that year.

You are a sick individual and that's why you and me are alike.
 
L's: 1 of 2 in L.A. (possibly both) AND 1of 4 NFCW opponents, 2 of 6 AFCS games, BUF

Could easily see 13-4 with the same optics as 10-7

12-5 ... they find the Ws in KC, BAL. I believe those first 5 games are must-wins going into the bye for the sake of the grind of the following 12 weeks, and on the same level of importance of getting the W's vs KC/BAL/BUF
 
TexansFan15 said:
You may very well be right. We still haven’t figured out how to beat Jackson. He ends up beating us with his legs. Hopefully this year will be different and we can come away with a W.
Click to expand...
Maybe we need to consult Mark D'Onofrio on how to beat LJ. D'Onofrio was the defensive coordinator at UH while LJ was at Louisville and the Coogs contained him pretty good the 2 times they played....of course LJ has evolved since but still.

The only losses are too the Rams, Ravens, Bills and Chiefs and has the Texans anihilating their division.

10-7 is the new 9-7. AFC South Champions, Brian.

We do this to ourselves every year...at least every year we expect that the Texans will finally "break the door down". And then something happens.
 
Lucky said:
No, but Coach Ryans is 9-3 vs the AFC South and has never lost a road game in division. This is the year of the AFC South sweep.

To be fair, Kubes could have swept the division at least one time, but rested his starters and we lost a meaningless game to either the Colts or Tacks.

That will give each team a leg up in the Arch Manning sweepstakes.

I still don’t believe Arch will enter the draft this year. I really do think they as a family and group want him doing two years as a starter before entering the pros. Which is very smart imo.

Maybe he completely blows the doors off and as a whole Texas as a team look ready to challenge for it all this year but I really do think their plan is to hold off this year and enter the draft/pros next.
