    we were after them. heard it repeated quite a bit this morning on sports radio.

    this franchise's tightness and unwillingness to do something bold bores the crap out of me and frustrates me all at once. allowing a player of moss' caliber to slip to the titans is inexcusable when the cost is $3 million.

    this.

    pick up moss simply to block any other team in our division from doing so. the texans brass had to have had an inkling that the titans would at least consider grabbing him with britt being out long term.

    but once again, the Texans show that they have zero desire to make the preemptive or aggressive moves to get this team over the hump.

    Great pick up for the Titans. If moss walks away after the season, do the titans get a pick for compensation?

    As for getting Moss here to Houston, I would be happier if Kubiak just came up with a god darned gameplan to neutralize pass rushing Defenses rather than playing into the hands of those defenses. Let the Titans take care of the Colts, then take our chances with the Titans by giving them a heavy dose of Foster. If they stop Foster, good for them.

    We should've only been after them if they froze the standings before the Monday night game. I guess that's possible since Moss was waived between the time everybody else played on Sunday and we played our game on Monday. Maybe they go by the standings at the time a player was waived regardless of if everybody has played yet that week or not.

    or they were unable to make a move because Titans were seemingly before the texans on the list.

    Titans were the only team to submit a claim. So now we can b**** that even if we were ahead of the Titans, we wouldn't have gotten him because the Texans didn't submit a claim.

    Not that I think the Texans should have acquired Moss, but wouldn't their 4-3 record be ahead of the Titans 5-3 in terms of the waiver wire?

    I still don't understand why we would be AFTER them, they have a better record than us, this makes no sense to me

    With AJ's ankle injury, we should have took the chance at Moss.

    We were after them as of Monday night.

    http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcnorth/post/_/id/18894/establishing-the-nfls-waiver-priority

    After we lost, we jumped ahead of them.

    I am unsure how this plays into the Moss situation, or what the rules are for waiver claims/timing.

    It's also strange that we were ahead of the Colts on Monday, since we had the same record and owned the head to head tiebreaker with them.

    No way, Texans front office would never shake up the mediocre train. Status quo only.

    Texans Strategy:

    Deny parking rights to Astroworld to eliminate any close proximity entertainment competition.

    Operate under a strict budget in order to clear tens of millions in profits without making playoffs.

    Make the head coach who constantly takes the blame one of the highest paid in the NFL.

    Claim this is the year we must make the playoffs. Repeat.

    From the link you provided, it looks like the first tiebreaker is strength of schedule. The 49ers are listed ahead of the Broncos even though they won their head to head matchup but they have a weaker SOS. Same thing with the Rams being ahead of the Redskins.
