Predict the Texan's record

6-11

The improved O line with Pierce and the improved secondary with Pitre and Stingley will lead to some wins.

 

Wow, our shitstorm of a team has had me so disengaged with football that I had no idea the schedule went to 17 games.

I kept seeing "weird" predictions of 17 games and had to go Google it...and damn, 17 games.

They'll be lucky to win 6.

 

Not sure what their record will be, but by the time the 17th game rolls around I'm sure we will be wishing that there were only 16 games.

 

Top 15 defense, top 15 run game and Mills keeps his INTs relatively low…I could see a 7-10 season.

 

6 wins and I hope we still land a top 5 pick

 

The Division is so easy this year, Texans 4-13.

 

4-7 wins, most likely in the middle of that.

 

We traded up with Tampa for the #1 pick in '78. (8-6 btw, Tampa drafted QB Doug Williams at 17)

 

Predicting 4 wins.. hopefully 0. Give me CJ Stroud.

 

I still think we win more than most think we will.
If we bottom out, Will Anderson and Levis should be the picks. Stroud isn’t the answer and Young is too small.

 

I can see 6-11......if we get a few breaks I can see 7-10, if we catch a bad luck streak I could see 5-12..........I guess what I am saying is we will suck, its just to what degree will we suck. I prefer to be really sucky simply for the draft pick and were really not going anywhere this year, but I know they will not have that mindset and they will work there tails off. I trust Nick and the process and I think we start to turn the corner in 2023, could Pierce be the bright spot in 2022 and win ROY? Lets not load him up to much this year, lets ease him in so he is ready to dominate in 2023 as we turn the corner.

 

4-5 wins but majority of the games will be exciting and/or close. Sprinkle a blowout loss here and there.

 

I would figure about 4-7 wins too.

I expect that the Texans are going to be competitive in a lot of the games, just not being able to finish the job. The elite veteran teams can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat; hence unless the Texans prove everyone wrong, they will be in more games than they win.

But as long as there is growth and and player development, I think most fans would be very happy. Having another year of picking in the top of the draft will help solidify the talent on the team.

But, I want to be pleasantly surprised, especially if Mills can muster up magic and make leaps and bounds efforts to become the guy.

 

Texans are better than the jags and jets imo.

 

Traded '78 1st (17) (Doug Williams, QB) and 2nd (44) (Brett Moritz, G) and '79 3rd (60) (Jerry Eckwood, RB) and 5th (?) (?) and TE Jimmy Giles.

Traded Earl to the Saints in '84 for the Saints '85 1st (11) and took CB Richard Johnson.

16. Houston Texans

Votes: 16-16-16-16-16 | Avg: 16.0 | Median: 16

Voters disagreed over so many teams. The Texans were not one of them.

"I think Atlanta and Houston are very clearly the two worst teams in the league, and it's not even close," one exec said.

Another thought Houston had made some questionable roster moves for a team with so much room for improvement.

"They sign a bunch of special-teamer depth guys," this voter said. "They have signed a million depth linebackers that don't have defensive value. To me, it's like New England is when they have seven safeties and the last three don't do anything on defense. They treat special teams as its own entity, but that is a luxury Houston can't really afford. I just don't think it's a talented roster."

Houston Texans
Win total: 4.8

Winning just four games three seasons in a row is tough to do, but the Texans might complete such a streak in Lovie Smith’s first season as head coach — if not fare a little worse. Houston has swapped out some mediocre veterans for new ones, but the team’s most exciting additions are rookies, who often aren’t impactful. Though the Texans are better positioned for the long term than they were a year ago, a slight step back in 2022 seems plausible. — Aaron Reiss

 

4-13.

 

I'm with you. I'm optimistic. I say 10-7 with a Division win. Mark my words. Pierce and our defense are going to be our silver bullets to getting us there.
