If the Texans can come thru, that's 5 consecutive teams we might see make the playoffs, counting the 2016. It's definitely counting our eggs before they hatch, but probability would favor five in a row with the way the Astros are playing and the fact that so many teams make the NBA playoffs each year.
Any Titans fans left around here? Used to infect these threads in droves. I hear actual Nashville residents are getting impatient as well. Lease runs out in 2028... there will be grumblings for a new stadium prior to that... even money says they won't be in Tennessee forever, and yet another city will then get the Oilers history with it.
It would have been a mild surprise had Mariota missed games because he has stayed relatively healthy for most of his football playing career. Contrarily, Clowney had injury red flags in college and missed his entire rookie season in the NFL. It wasn't a surprise he got hurt last year and it's not a surprised that he missed games this season either. Most people understood that besides one person who kept blaming the Reliant turf for his injury. The Titans would not trade Mariota for Clowney and every single NFL team lacking a QB would take Mariota instead of Clowney.
Fair enough, feel free to double down on that position if you like, I wouldn't trade Clowney for Mariota and I don't think many others would either. Now if we were talking about a good QB, that's different, but we're talking about Mariota here. I know it doesn't fit the narrative that you want to push, but MANY thought Mariota would be a flat out bust in the NFL....now that didn't happen, he's not an outright bust, but he's nothing special and unsurprisingly (to most, possibly not to you though) the 6'4 215 LB running QB has struggled win injuries already in his very first year in the league. Say what you want, but if the Texans drafted a QB and they only played 11 games and change their first season and the Texans were looking at the top pick in the draft.....well I think you know what that would be like.
Yep... or even St. Louis. Would be a sad day if Hicksville, Tennessee has a NFL team and San Diego and/or St. Louis don't.

Yikes. Some of BOB's prized pickups- Mallet, Shorts, Washington, XSF, Polk, and Strong not doing to well. Fire Rick and give him more control!
What about Hoyer, Hunt, Mancz, Clowney, Simon, Peters, Drummond, James, Bullough, Mumphrey, McKinney, Dunn, Hal, Tuggle?
According to those numbers, Hoyer hasn't been good passing the ball, but he's our best RB on the team....so he's got that going for him.
not sure if i ever liked PFF rating system. by their accounts, rahim the dream, should be starting over hal/demps.
