I don't post much and I certainly don't start many threads. If I cross any etiquettes, I apologize in advance!
While I am miserable with how the game ended and in a lot of ways how the game was played, I am also incredibly thankful of this past season. If anyone told me at the start of the season that we would be in the AFC Divisional Round, I would have looked you in the eye and called you crazy. If anyone told me today they expected us to end the season where we are, I would still look you in the eye and call you a liar, or if you have receipts then a prophet. Brand new HC, brand new OC, brand new QB, heck so many brand new players. Damn, did we have a good season!
Here are some of the things I am especially grateful of and give thanks to.

Here are some of the things I am especially grateful of and give thanks to.
- Thank you Lovie Smith for getting Easterby fired! A body can only start healing once the poison is removed and you did that. Thank you!
- Thank you again Lovie Smith for winning a game everyone else related to the franchise wanted you to lose. In doing so, you virtually guaranteed the Texans picking up CJ Stroud!
- Thank you Hannah for your rise to power. We all knew that leadership was a problem in previous years and that Cal (well meaning as he was) had too many voices in his ear. You helped him block that out and that eventually led to the hiring of DeMeco Ryans!
- Thank you DeMeco for being willing to come to our team. We all know you had plenty of options to choose from, but you chose us. Your presence lends us leadership credibility and competence after years of completely lacking it.
- Thank you Nick for having the cajones to pull up draft day wizardry and getting us CJ, WAJ, and Tank. These 3 will no doubt join Nico as a core to the strong foundation where we will continue to build up the team.
- Thank you CJ Stroud for exceeding what anyone and everyone has every thought you might be as a QB. For the first time since the peak Schaub years, I have hope as a Texans fan again. Heck, I might even have future Superb Owl aspirations. That is a great freaking feeling!
- Thank you Will Anderson Jr. You will be putting in the fear of the football gods for opposing QBs for seasons to come, especially once Nick finds someone to take some pressure off you!
