Houston is probably one of the biggest candidates for a crazy huge trade up* using all their picks in years. With St. Louis

bhsman posted:The only way this (incorrect) line of thinking works is if Seahawks only wanted the Vikings' picks with worse position over ours. I'm not sure how that contradicts my statement We valued a 4th round pick over moving up to get Teddy, so we missed out on him. That pick was instead traded to get Louis Nix The fact that they decided they didn't want Teddy doesn't make it the right call. I'm pretty sick of seeing the argument "Oh, they didn't want Teddy that's why they didn't trade up for him" as if that's some kind of proof that he wasn't worth trading up for

Guess we really didn't want Teddy, thanks for agreeing I love that you view the front office not wanting him as some sort of proof they shouldn't have taken him. Oh they could have had Patrick Willis? Well they clearly wanted Okoye instead  The fact that the FO didn't want Teddy isn't vindication for not taking him bhsman posted:EDIT: Meh, now's not the time for this sort of argument. I'm sorry.

For what it's worth, JJ and AJ80 are two of the most awesome, classiest dudes this generation and I fear playing them. If you grab yourselves a decent QB, like a certain someone in Buffalo, you become instant playoff contenders. Much love to the Texan fans.

I feel like we found something AJ80 can excel at in this offense, those sideline throws were basically indefensible I have no idea why they BOB didn't call that more often e: reminder, the Texans literally could have swapped Fiedorowicz and Sua Filo, neither one of whom has been worth a drat, for Bridgewater Intruder fucked around with this message at 07:38 on Oct 10, 2014 |

This game was like that Lucy and Charlie Brown routine with kicking the football except if Lucy first kicked Charlie Brown squarely in the nuts, waited for him to get up, THEN yanked the ball away at the last moment. And then kicked him in the nuts again. It's never been more clear to me how good this team could be with even a league-average QB. And maybe some better O-line pass blocking, but, you know...

You guys are terrible. Watt has played 4 garbage o lines, that is why his stats are crazy. He is awesome, but don't go crazy thinking add a qb and 5 superbowls you win.

There's enough talent on the Texans' offense and defense to believe that they are a QB away from being a good team though, which is what people are saying.

Chichevache posted:Yeah, I made that same argument a day or two ago about Sherman. I'm merely observing that people comparing the two of them are going to have that game as an actual example of them going head to head. In contrast to the Brady vs. Manning debates where the two are never on the field at the same time. And Smith won. Watt didn't do poo poo in that game. E: 0 sacks 0 hits and 4 tackles and the Texans got run all over all day too.

After seeing that game, I'm kinda impressed that the Titans didn't lose even more games last year with Fitzpatrick at QB. All I could say for a couple minutes after tuning away from that last fumble was, "What a shame. What a drat shame."

The NFL is just a consumable for me. I wouldn't spend money a deodorant that makes my pits stink, why on earth do I spend time with a team that just lets me down and makes me feel sorry for my hometown? Maybe I just need a break from football.

Korranus posted:The Texans in general are a drat shame. Since peaking as a franchise in Game Number One, they've done nothing in their whole lives except spin their wheels, draft badly, and lose games in just about every absurd fashion you can imagine. Yet, they have a season ticket waiting list a mile long, every other car has that ridiculous logo on it, and ownership makes money hand over fist and dominates Houston society while taking a casual disinterest in the on-field product. And I don't blame Bob McNair's disinterest anymore. If I made Bob McNair money running tomato cans out there while letting a solid gold can loose every now and then I wouldn't lose sleep. He's a Houstonian, I'm a Houstonian, and without making money Houston would still be a swampy hole in the ground between San Antonio and Galveston. It's a QB away from being a team that probably wins the division (Luck is still surrounded by poo poo), and it's better than the poo poo team that got stolen away from there. I wouldn't get too depressed quite yet.

Luck's actually got a lot of talent around him. The offensive line is a work in progress and has a lot of injuries right now, but they held up pretty well.

Korranus posted:draft badly, and lose games in just about every absurd fashion you can imagine They've actually been drafting pretty well over the past few years. Actually I think they did pretty much everything right (that they could have realistically done) from 2011-2013 but as it turns out you can do all the right things and still not win a championship (see also: The 2012 Atlanta Falcons). Not getting a QB sucks but think about it from the angle that they weren't planning to compete this year--3-2 is a happy accident for a team that was 2-14 last season, albeit one that significantly underperformed its talent level.

Watt didn't do poo poo in that game. Let's not get too carried away here--Smith got beat pretty bad by Watt a couple of times and got bailed out by Romo, especially on that insane TD pass to Williams. Romo has always made his O-lines look good, and so when he's got a great line, the effect is even better.
