Romo winning a superbowl in Houston would be worth it.

I can cheer on Romo while simultaneously making GBS threads all over the Texans fans on Facebook that used to poo poo all over him.

Win-win, baby!

The last time a Houston team has done anything is over 10 years, when the Astros made the World Series. They got swept.

Before that, it's back to 1994. I have zero sympathy for you Jags fan.

It was the happiest, and then saddest I've ever seen the city of Houston. Admittedly, I was too young to care or realize the significance of the Rockets winning their two championships, but still.

I'd like to say the Texans can only go up from Brock, but I'm sure I've thought the same things after our other turds at QB. I'm ready for the battle for the crown of our dung heap of a division to begin.

Look at it this way: the defense doesn't have to be 150% of the team in order to achieve victory anymore. There may be just a slightly, ever so slightly bit more balance moving forward.

They are either going to start savage, who is bad, or watson, who is bad and a rookie, so that's not true

Neither is as bad as "throw a screen pass into the dirt" Brock Osweiler.

How many more games until I'm allowed to think Watson is a franchise QB without looking like a homer?

I think he looks legit, but the real test is always going to be the second year. Give defenses an offseason to learn a person, and then things get crazy.


Still, Watson looks even better than I was hoping he'd be.

Ah, I had not scrolled down that far.

So it looks like Joe DeCamillas's special teams completely poo poo the bed today for the Jaguars. Got it.

I'm glad I've never been proven wrong about DeCamillas. Dude blows.

The Colts are not cool, and they are not good. No team gets to slip on a banana peel, traveling from Peytonville to Luckton, and still say they're cool.

On the one hand, I really don't think McNair meant it the way it's coming off. But he is incredibly tone deaf here and it shows the disdain he has for the players as a group

And then there's this

There isn't a single owner in the NFL that deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Mark Davis? Or was Al the only one who deserved it

Al absolutely deserved it

Al deserved something, because the man was completely bonkers in a way that made everyone else in the league meltdown.

Al deserves a lot of credit for hiring the first African American coach, the first Hispanic coach, and the first woman high up in the organization.

Yes, and he definitely deserves credit for those things. But the guy was wild. No owner to my knowledge marched to the beat of their own drum quite like him.

I think it's pretty awesome that McNair traded him out of spite OR that Brown said gently caress off due to McNair.



They're both great looks for the league. Honestly, despite the loss I'm proud of the Texans players this weekend.:911:

I want to believe in the Jacksonville Jaguars because I've given up on the Browns ever accomplishing anything.

Yeesh, all it took for this to stop being the chill division was the Jags being good for the first time in a decade

In fairness to all parties involved, this was probably a circumstance nobody had planned for.
