I went back and looked at playoff game times to confirm being shit on by NFL. 

The Texans have made the playoffs 7 times in 22 seasons, hosted the wildcard game each time, and won 5 (71.4%, surprisingly good). They are 0-4 in divisional round games. 100% of wildcard games and 8 of 12 total playoff games (67%) have been in the Saturday afternoon slot. They have never been the Sunday primetime game. (Bold=shitty Saturday afternoon game)

2011 - wildcard vs. CIN
2011 - divisional @ BAL (Sunday @ 12pm)
2012 - wildcard vs. CIN
2012 - divisional @ NE (Sunday @ 3:30)
2015 - wildcard vs. KC
2016 - wildcard vs. OAK
2016 - divisional @ NE (Saturday @ 7:15)
2018 - wildcard vs. IND 
2019 - wildcard vs. BUF
2019 - divisional @ KC (Sunday @ 3:00)
2023 - wildcard vs. CLE 
2023 - divisional @ BAL/KC

Might be an unpopular opinion, but this is the absolute best time to watch a football game. I get that it’s the least prestigious or whatever, but I wouldn’t trade it for any of the other slots.

Aside from casuals on both coasts not knowing Houston has a professional football team, I would’ve thought the CJ/Demeco story playing against either MVP Lamar Jackson or defending champ KC/Mahomes/Taylor Swift would be more interesting and draw more eyes than GB@SF, TB/PHL@Detroit, and the possibility of PIT@BAL, yet the Texans landed the worst of the 4 time slots.

The NFL said if you played on Monday you were going to get scheduled next Sunday so that meant Houston would have to play Saturday because they can't play Buff or Pitt. After that there is no planet in the solar system where GB@SF isn't a bigger game with way more history for the network to hype up.

Throughout the season I was hoping for late teens to early 20s, but this could have been worse

During the 2023 NFL draft Nick Caserio received a 4th round pick (105) back in the WAJ trade. On day 3 of the draft Caserio traded that pick to the Eagles for a 2024 3rd rounder! With the Eagles loss tonight, that selection now sit’s at pick 85! Very underrated move#WeAreTexans

 

#2069

For Houston at #23, two names I like if they fall are Cooper DeJean and Amarius Mims. 

DeJean can play all five (or six) DB spots, and can be elite at the inside ones; imagine what DeMeco and company could do with him? 

If Mims wasn't injured for most of the year, there's a chance he'd be in the discussion as a top five pick; obviously that's risky, but there could be some hidden value to go with the risk. You play him at RT and play mix and match inside

I’ve seen a few instances of him mocked to the Texans. Name the last white cornerback to have a successful NFL career. It might be Jason Sehorn who retired  20 years ago.

I think he'd end up inside at nickel or safety, and his ability at corner means you can blitz corners on his side and he can potentially pick up the WR with minimal issues

Probably true, but still racist. Yet it kept black QBs down for a long time and nobody thought McCaffrey would be MVP level for all these seasons as a white RB.

I'm definitely biased and probably hopped up the Kool Aid following this weekend, but I couldn't get my money down fast enough on Texans +9.5.

Of everyone who could realistically be there at #23, the only player I would take over DeJean is Keon Coleman and I don’t believe the mocks that have him available that’s late. I think CDJ would be an absolute baller in this scheme…

#2078

Draft or sign a RB (or both)? Need one in the worst way.  Singletary is fine but he’s the only guy that can run the ball.

Singletary is a free agent 

 

As are Greenard, Schultz, Cashman, Nelson, and Fant, all of whom need to be resigned…

Most of our cap space should be used to resign our own players. It's amazing what a real franchise QB can do for the production of everyone else on the field.

Greenard, Schultz, Fant, Cashman, Nelson… in that order for the ones mentioned above. 

#2085

I would like to see them re-sign Derek Barnett too, he's been a great addition to the DE position.  

Kaimi is also a free agent, so if they don't keep him (he was making 4.4m) then they need a new kicker.

Cameron Johnston the Punter is also a free agent. Made 2.6m last year. Need to sign him or a new one. 

Long Snapper Jon Weeks, who has been with the team for like 15 years or something, is also a free agent, but he's like 38. I guess he could play another year, but I would guess he retires soon. (he makes vet min 1.3m)

Cashman would be nice to have if he's cheap, but the guy has missed a lot of games in his short career. He's a huge injury hazard and would be best served as a rotational LB/special teams guy if he is re-signed. They need to find a Demeco Ryans type player to be the QB of the defense! 

There are a lot of interesting free agents out there next year, with something like 40m+ to spend after re-signing some important pieces, I think this team could attract some really good talent. I'd like to see them get some veterans in some important positions like Safety, LB, and maybe an interior O-lineman if they can snag one. They should still draft those positions, but if they can get a good vet, that moves the priority down a few rounds. Tons to work with here, I just hope they go for it while CJ is still on a rookie deal.

Not seeing the racism in his comment.  It is a fair question and Sehorn is the correct answer.  Not cool to be calling out people as racist.

Three fat dudes in Cleveland lying on camera? Tough look for @ultCLEsports. NRG Stadium showed up & showed out on Saturday. It was loud in the enclosed press box, so I know it was deafening in the bowl. Cope harder & enjoy that Deshaun deal. #WeAreTexans

These idiots claim we “cheated” by pumping in canned crowd noise. I was there at the game. The stadium was packed and fans were in their seats BEFORE kickoff. Loudest I have ever heard NRG. Fuck you Cleveland losers.

Can't speak to what Schultz means to players/locker room and his blocking skills, but his receiving production can be found for much cheaper than whatever a new contract will cost. That's not a slight on him, it's just that CJ will elevate any TE coming in that can run good routes and catch the ball. 

Caserio and Demeco need to build next year's team with the thought of getting to the Super Bowl now. The foundational pieces are there and ready to go. There will be a ton of interest from FAs to play for Houston. It's a good problem to have. 

 

#2090

Listen to the way defensive players on a division rival talk about CJ. 

Colts LB Zaire Franklin and EJ Speed On playing CJ Stroud week 18 😂🎥YT : The Trenches

 

#2091

Shouldn’t be taking draft just yet. The think the Texans can hang around with Baltimore. If they could force a turnover or 2 it will be really interesting. Not sure if the Texans have the firepower in the trenches to compete. 
 

That said, in the draft I think they need OL badly. Colts game I went to early in season they had like 1 starting OL in. They need to reload with durable guys up front. 
 

Shopping for WRs is fun, but CJ is gonna get injured playing behind no OL.

Bruh Cleveland is a loser shithole. Of course they gonna be crying. They lost by 30 so it’s funny to bitch about crowd noise too. Look in the mirror dipshits.

Ya think Demeco knows how to coach defense?

Demeco Ryans literally gave Christian Harris the script! Insane!

Yeah Barnett has been solid and would like to bring him back as well; have to think you could get him at a reasonable rate. Agree on Cashman’s injury tendency, but he’s stellar in coverage when he’s available. If you can get him in the $4-$5MM range that goes above water after year 2 I think he’s worth the gamble. Effort and talent are definitely there….

Bobby Slowik has not done any interviews with the teams that have requested to interview him. He said he’s dialed in on the Ravens. #Texans

What a fucking awesome coach DeMeco is. Truly blessed to have him. 

#2097

Slowik seems great, but if he were to leave I’d imagine there’d be a line down Kirby all the way to 610 of people looking to sign up for that job with CJ as the QB.

CJ is a god, but Slowik's offensive scheme is first rate. 

I really, really hope they've already been grooming Keenum to take over the Slowik offense.
