We prolly sign IOL Cade Mays (worked with Ferentz before sticking with Panthers) TE Daniel Bellinger (in-line blocker from NYG) possibly even Evan Neal (I remember several Texans' fans wanting to draft him back in 2022)
Nope... but Ingram was one of worst IOL in NFL and now he is going to secure a bag. Good thing about being at the bottom is that there is usually only one direction to go... usually
Every season that CJ Stroud starts for this team is another season that they go nowhere in the playoffs.
I thought this at the time, but it's very clear that the Texans were not adequately prepared to start the season. Our approach to the preseason, especially with 3 games now, is not effective. Even beyond preseason, it bothers me that none of the GM, head coach, offensive coordinator, or offensive line coach had any clue who the 5 best OLinemen were. It took until week 10. WEEK 10! What hope do we have to be ready and have our best guys out there by the end of preseason?
That's literally almost every other team in the NFL. Name any other Texans QB who has advanced further in the playoffs.

They knew who their best 5 OL were. They also knew that Trent Brown couldn't play a full season without getting hurt.
To not have hope that your favorite team can win a championship takes the fun out of watching football.

Yes, perspective. The terrible jets have won only one Super Bowl! The raiders, winners of three Super Bowls, have not won one in more than 40 years!! Texans fans should feel great about having NEVER won ****!!!
No Houston professional football team has made the AFC championship game since 1979. That’s full blown ineptitude at the highest level of any professional sports league.
I fell for that BS line last year, and then the season started. There was a course correction with the D playing out of their minds, but then the playoffs happened
Lol. How long have you lived in Houston? We’ve suffered through plenty here in the NFL over the last six decades. Not one Super Bowl appearance to show for it, unlike the Jets and Raiders.
Exactly right. When will people learn. As someone once said, and as we all saw this season with Stroud, stupid is as stupid does.
