    Unless he has a huge turnaround I don't think I will ever completely forgive Stroud for us losing to this Patriots team.

    While I wish we made the Super Bowl, watching this game I’m kinda glad we didn’t. This Seattle defense would have ate us alive.

    Anyone watch KlanChella on YouTube? Wondering if it was any good.

    Watching this game re-frustrates me about CJ’s play. He really really blew it. Even we could muster at least what we’ve seen from NE thus far.

    I finally made it to a Super Bowl live and it was that garbage. At least pregame Green Day and the halftime show were great. The game … not so much.

    Kinda weird you would be glad we didnt make it...or any fan be glad their team didnt make the Superbowl. Especially a Texans team who hasn't even sniffed a conference game.

    #12 - Houston Texans
    Previously ranked: 7
    2025: 12-5


    They have the defense to be ranked a lot higher than this, but do they have the quarterback? If C.J. Stroud can be what he’s supposed to be, consider them a legitimate Super Bowl contender.

    https://www.si.com/nfl/albert-breer-super-bowl-takeaways-patriots-surprised-themselves-with-success

    C.J. Stroud

    The Stroud situation is fascinating. We’ve seen the high end (a successful rookie year) and the low end (seven turnovers in two playoff games) with the No. 2 pick in the 2023 draft. And the juxtaposition leaves questions about where coach DeMeco Ryans, GM Nick Caserio and the Texans stand at quarterback.

    The team can exercise the fifth-year option on Stroud’s rookie contract between now and the middle of May, which would lock Stroud in with the Texans at a fully guaranteed $26.5 million for 2027, and I’d expect they will. It’s a more than reasonable rate for a starting quarterback in the current economic environment.

    However, extension talks will be interesting. After what Josh Allen and Dak Prescott received in 2025, a top-shelf quarterback deal going forward will be $60 million-plus, and it might be tough to get Stroud and his camp to take less than that. I’d also expect the team to move aggressively to lock down Will Anderson Jr., like they did Derek Stingley Jr. last year, which could create some awkwardness.

    If Stroud’s contract negotiations get sticky, or the Texans prefer to punt them to next year—while rewarding Anderson—will there be friction? Could that impact the Texans’ offseason? Might someone swoop in to see if they could pry the wildly talented 24-year-old away?

    These are questions other teams have certainly asked, as Stroud’s gone through his ups and downs. Along those lines, Houston’s September signing of Davis Mills to a one-year, $7 million extension got the attention of some of those same teams. Mills, who was in Caserio’s first draft class, has started 28 games in Houston, and went 3–0 this year, while Stroud was dealing with a midseason concussion.

    Stay tuned on this one.

    Chron’s 10-step plan to “fix” the Texans

    1. Cut RB Joe Mixon and DE Mario Edwards
    2. Restructure contracts of DE Danielle Hunter, CB Derek Stingley Jr. and WR Nico Collins
    3. Extend the contracts of TE Dalton Schultz and LB Azeez Al-Shaair
    4. Pick up fifth-year options on Will Anderson Jr. and C.J. Stroud’s contracts
    5. Sign Cade Mays at center
    6. Sign RB Breece Hall to a three-year deal
    7. Re-sign Ed Ingram to a multi-year deal, and Sheldon Rankins to a one-year deal
    8. Use draft picks from Washington to move up from No. 28 to No. 13. (Olaivavega Ioane)
    9. Draft a defensive tackle in second round, tight end in third round
    10. Establish identity on offense earlier

    So Chron has been coming in here and taking our ideas... bunch of louts!

    Not sure about Hall (I would like it, but the $$$$ will be too much IMHO).

    Also, I think Ingram is going to get insane $$$ & I hope the Texans are not the ones giving it to him.
