There are plenty of fans that will deal with losing seasons, if they have hope for the future but guess what's true about the Texans Had I the opportunity I'd sure as hell drive to Houston and get an $8 seat just cause I've never seen an NFL game in person, but if I lived in town and had already been I might be like, ehhhhh is that how I wanna spend a quarter of my waking hours on a Sunday?

so does that mean texans games are getting locally blacked out? Not that many people in Houston seem to care.

The NFL suspended blackouts in 2015 for a year and has suspended them for another year every year since then, so no, but they sure as gently caress would be otherwise

I would argue that if Watson were playing there would be more fans there.

I've been to three Chiefs at Texans games at NRG, and at every one the lots were full of tailgaters hours before the game. That's looking real bad for the Texans.

That lot is always full of RVs and big customized tents and I have never seen it with room to spare no matter how hard the team sucked.

If you spent tens of thousands of dollars on your tailgating setup you're going to use it. Bet they probably don't even go into the stadium when the team is this bad.

Well certainly not nowadays when you can watch it on a TV on your RV with your grill and sausages and beers and whatnot I'm a much bigger football than basketball fan and I've still watched more minutes of the Rockets this year (a team which, until a very recent winning streak, had fewer wins than the Texans!) because the Rockets at least have a front office that does not appear to contain Basketball Rasputin. Meanwhile the Texans are poo poo and in theory doing the correct thing (testing out their young QB, signing people to one year deals and seeing who might merit a longer one, getting good draft position) but I have zero confidence that it will turn into anything good down the line specifically because of the people in the front office. Basically the Rockets remind me of the early 2010s Astros and the Texans remind me of the <insert any era here> Lions. e: I said any era Lions but it'd be way more accurate to say the Matt Millen Lions

To be fair I wouldn't want to watch Jets v. Texans either Like I don't get what the plan is with Watson, he's doing nothing, costing the team cap space, and at this point even revenue. There is no plan here and it's inexcusable to have him just... around. Bellmaker fucked around with this message at 22:38 on Dec 1, 2021 |

Its to try to get any value at all out of him once the cases resolve one way or the other If he gets convicted of something you just release him, but not before then, and until something clarifies, no one's gonna give us anything for him, so it makes the most business sense to just bench him

Texans either The idea is that he's a tremendously valuable asset that they'll likely still be able to get a big return on if they wait long enough. With him off the field and basically out of sight, there's essentially zero PR cost in keeping him until that point, and the cap hit doesn't matter at this point in the season, with this team.

Yeah I mean from reports the texans had 3 first round picks lined up for Watson but weren't able to garuntee the lawsuits would be sorted and depending on the source, actually pushed for more picks and players as part of the deal. He might be something of a distraction but if he can garner that kind of interest WITH this kind of issue hanging over his head, you'd be dumb to get rid of him.

Also I'm gonna be honest here I don't think attendance at NRG is down because their previous franchise QB turned out to be a rapist. These are Texans we're talking about here, guys Either way though I still think they would've been wise to just take whatever deal they COULD get, sounds like a couple firsts at least, and wash their hands of it. It would definitely be the moral choice.

These are Texans we're talking about here, guys The whole 3 first and 3 seconds and players is going to be a non starter for most teams. I would think though that some of the teams with dual firsts next year would probably be more willing to give away 3 firsts and a 2nd with some kind of player though. Someone like the Eagles could quite easily package 2 firsts, next years first and a player or two. I think if Carolina gave away 6 picks and CMC I'd want to shoot myself.

Dolphins and Texans had a deal. It was a discounted deal (the 3 first rounders instead of the 5 the Texans were looking for) because of the lawsuits against Watson. The Dolphins then started talking to Watson about settling some of the lawsuits, and when the Texans heard about it they raised their price back up to 5 first rounders at the very least.

This has since been heavily refuted in both Miami and Houston circles. So who the hell knows. A lot of this stuff was apparently Watsons agent pushing aggressively.

The Rams allegedly offered the Texans a similar deal they gave for Stafford but the Texans wanted more first rounders. Everything that has come out since about the Stafford trade though suggests that initial report was a lie though.
