I don't think he wanted to believe Hoyer was what everyone knew he was...but it became painfully apparent last Sunday. Mallett isn't a world beater, but it won't be said that he can't get the ball down the field. Anyone that saw that bullet he fired into the end one last Sunday can see that. He should be fine if he doesn't spend too much time channeling his inner Jay Cutler.

In other news, Keshawn Martin got traded. This day just keeps getting better.

:lmao Texans. They had to lose one game to see that Hoyer is not your starter, when everybody outside Texans knew it already. Spoiler alert- Mallett isnt your starter either :lmao

Well it's not like they have anyone else on the roster. Everyone knows what Hoyer is. Mallett has started how many games?

[Raven]

meh, they lost because of their D not their offense. If the texans D can't be a top 5 unit, they are not going to get in the playoffs any time soon.

I hate to say this but the Texans are fast becoming the Cleveland Browns. :cry

Franchise will always be trash as long as Rick Smith Is there. Hell, O'Brien should be outta there too.

[djohn2oo8]

McNair should also sell the team

If Texans beat the Patriots tonight... they're in the driver's seat to win the division.

Yep. They were thinking about a high draft pick five weeks in. Now they are thinking about the first round and which team doesn't want to have to deal with det defense.

[TXstbobcat]

Texans get their 1st win ever in Indianapolis!!!!

Defense dynasty


holy shit at their pass rush... Watt, Mercilus, Cushing, Clowney... holy shit

[DPG21920]

The only real concern was Clowney and he's showing many signs of being a beast. With Watt & him healthy, their defense will be stout. Especially of the OFF doesn't turn the ball over in bad spots.

[TXstbobcat]

Congratulations to the Texans!!! AFC South champs!!!! :toast

Amazing what O'Brien has done without a QB and Foster. Need to draft a legit QB.

I'm scared to death he's going to reach on Hackenberg.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Congrats Texan fans. What a strange season.

[Pelicans78]

I don't like Hackenberg but he would be ok to take with a later first round pick.

[benefactor]

Looking like KC will be the opponent. That's a decent match up. The defense is a whole new animal since that first game was played.

I don't, but outside of Goff I don't care much for any of the QB's in this class. If they are going to reach on a skill player I'd rather them go after a RB.

I'm concerned about Hoyer against elite defenses. And in primetime.

As am I, but ours will be getting after Alice Smith too. Houston will probably lose, but it will be low scoring and close.
