Brock traded to the Browns! I have no clue how to feel since I had fully embraced the numbness another season of Brock would require.

The Texans became locked in to Savage as the starter

Which means Weeden will be the starter when Savage goes on IR in week 3

Dang, Savage is serviceable, but I agree with durability concerns. Can't believe the GM is wasting this defense with no QB.

I imagine if O'Brien couldn't get along with Osweiler, him and Cutler might make Buddy Ryan vs Kevin Gilbride look tame in comparison.

I put our QB woes entirely on O'Brien.

lol, wut. Dude, he's not making choices on who Rick Smith signs. He keeps giving turds to polish, and they just crumble in his hands.

How could he not get anything out of Keenam, Mallet, Osweiler, Savage and...

He did get serviceable play from Savage until he was injured? Osweiller is one of the worst people to play the position in some time and he was forced to start him most of the season/playoffs. Mallet is a douche who self destructed? I don't think Keenum was ever going to start in Houston, especially after they let him walk after his playoff win.

I'm not saying O'Brien is perfect, but idk if he can bear the brunt of the blame when his GM keeps giving him nothing to work with. It's not like the dudes you have listed start anywhere or went on to do good things after they weren't with O'Brien.

I don't either but it forces the Texans into win-now time. If Watson hits, there may actually be a chance of winning a second round game. If he busts, it might finally be enough to push Rick Smith out the dooahahahahah who am I kidding

If the Brock fiasco didn't get Smith canned since it was literally all his doing, then I have no idea what will. He has a job for life as far as I can tell.

The Oilers name and history still hold value. It's not like other cities that have lost teams get to keep their name and history (Lakers?)

But the list of names for the new Houston team was dire

Bobcats, Apollos, Stallions (lol), Toros and of course Texans

lol if they had gone with the very high school team name Bobcats

You forget RoughRyders was also a finalist. Texans has grown on me. and yeah, my high school was the bobcats. no thanks for the nfl team to have that name.

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

Was Brown the player sourced for the quote about McNair talking to the players after Onama's victory?
