Anytime in the playoffs Hoyer is your starting QB, or your OL consists of Davenport/Mancz/Martin Fulton/Lamm and your skill position guys are Blue/V.Smth/Carter then you're not going to be competitive against playoff caliber teams. I cant believe all of this including depth issues got fixed in one offseason. They wont be a true contender this yr because all of the young guys need to get experience along with Watson needing to continue to show improvement.
The fire O'Brien idiots remind me of fire Mack Brown idiots before UT beat USC Dumbasses with no perspective. Barring injuries this team can get better
No question obrien called a better game today and last week. The offense finally looks consistent I don't really think it's sustainable long term though, can't trade first round picks every year and they are likely to start losing talent beginning next year
They have others picks. 2018 draft didn’t have 1 or 2 and is turning out to be a very SOLID draft (Reid, Akins, KeKe Coutee, Jordan Thomas, Duke Ejiofor, Peter Kalambayi). Even Rankin being traded for Carlos Hyde can be counted. plus, They have $90 million in cap space next year.
This is ABSOLUTELY what we should be focused on this morning: our next several drafts. Great job focusing the discussion on what's REALLY important.
The loss to the saints and panthers are not looking as embarrassing as I initially thought. Only beating jags by 1 looks bad. Rest of the games have been good.
Why would losing by 2 and 6 points be "embarrassing"?... Some of you have some really weird standards. THIS ISN'T THE BCS! Style points don't count. They're 4-0 in the AFC and own tiebreakers over Baltimore and Kansas City. If you had to draw it up, those are the two losses you'd want - if they had to lose twice.
What I meant was, the saints and panthers are looking like good teams. I was at the panthers game and just thought it was gonna be an easy win. So when we lost it sucked. But I’m just mentioning that maybe the panthers weren’t as bad as I thought going into that game.
How do they already own a tiebreaker over Baltimore? Wins over LA, Jacksonville, Atlanta and KC. What am I missing?
Conference record is the first tiebreaker after H2H. If season ended today, Texans would be #2 seed. Baltimore 3-2 in conference; Texans 4-0. They play later this year so..., But always great to win conference games; lose non-conference games.
So, what you are saying is that if the season ended today (it doesn't) they would own the tiebreaker because they haven't played the Ravens. However, they do play the Ravens later this year which will more than likely make conference record moot (except in the unlikely event of a tie) for tiebreaker consideration. So....again I ask, Baltimore?
People can focus on multiple things. Good all in one year then losing free agents an not having high draft picks is not generally a sustainable strategy
