You’ve posted this every year. It’s basically just your opinion based on your own Dallas inferiority complex. The Oilers has two successful eras. Luv ya blue and run and shoot. Yes, both were ultimate dissapointments, but the city was passionate. When Adams made a fool of himself again and demanded more public money, the city had enough with him. In hindsight, he did make the short sighted decision given how franchise values are calculated now. The Oilers/Titans franchise in Houston would have remained in the top quarter… vs the Titans (or any franchise) in Tennessee being where they are. In the end, they were Houston’s team…. And Houstonians embraced them when they were good. And like all Houston teams, bare minimum support when they were bad. What you’re characterizing is basically true of all Houston sports fandom, not just pro football.
Glad Texans lost today. At least Texans are guaranteed a pick in top 2 spots. Even if they win next week and gets #2, they can still get Carter or Anderson...plenty of options at #2.
If it takes that long, they’re not doing it right and they’ll have yet another regime change. With full drafts and cap space, they should be in position to win (or on the right trajectory) within 2 years.
I laid out what I'd do in another thread: Draft Young and a WR. Draft Steve Avila, or the best available center in the second round. Draft pass rush in the mid rounds. New coaching staff. Sign Kaleb Mcgary to play right tackle. Sign a big DT like Daron Payne. With some development, and the right coach, that team competes for the division in a year or two.
Not me! I would LOVE a tie!!! Because in that case even with a loss CHI would be 3-14-0, which would be a win percentage of 17.65%, whilst we would end up 2-13-2, which would be a win percentage of 11.76%, therefore giving US the #1 overall pick! Definitely wouldn't mind if we "tie one on" next week!
I never thought it would be possible to kill football in Houston, but damn if the Texans aren’t trying their best to do just that.
I almost posted that I wanted a tie, but I thought because we'd have less losses, we'd not get the number one pick. If true, let's tie. All you're saying, is if we don't score, we win?!
Houston has no problem “checking out” on any sports team that looks awful. They’ve done it with all the pro teams. This is more Houston’s MO than being simply a football town. They don’t support losers.
Titans’ value is around 3.5 Billion. They are about to build a new Billion Stadium complex with the City of Nashville. They would probably sell for $4 -$4.5 Billion. Texans are valued around 4.75 Billion. If they sold today, if would probably be for atleast 5.5 Billion.
Indeed, and it is scary because scouts had him as one of the 4-5 best QB’s ever coming out of college… with the likes of Elway and Luck…. Luck didn’t last that long either… maybe getting the sure fire #1 QB doesn’t mean as much as we have been led to believe.
