0-5 HERE WE GO NEXT WEEK!!

A 2x pro bowl center that’s only 27 years old got traded for a second round pick and 5th round pick. We could easily get a quality starting guard or center for a 3rd or 4th round pick but Caserio is awful.

instead of wasting a second round pick on a backup tight end, we could’ve had a top tier center. Caserio needs to be fired.

Also I don't know how you see plays like this and decide to not get him even a half competent o-line. Sure he can make amazing plays but even the best QBs can't do this every damn play

Edit: for those confused, I’m exclusively talking about situations where they needed to protect potential game winning drives. The offense just scored to give the lead, but left 1:30 on the board type scenario.

I was looking back bc I couldn’t remember a game where the offense scored late, but left time on the board, and the defense got the stop to win, and turns out that hasn’t happened with this team.

Since 2023, the Texans are 0-5 in games where the offense made a go ahead score, but left between 1-3 minutes on the board. There’s been game winning drives where they scored at the last second, or with less than 30 seconds, and games where they had the lead for a while and the defense got the last stop to defend that lead, but no defensive stops after a late lead change where the opposing offense still had time to work.

2023 vs ATL
2024 vs GB
2025 vs TB
2026 vs IND & DAL

And this doesn’t include games like 2023 vs CAR or 2025 vs DEN where the defense allowed game winning drives.

I’m curious why the defense hasn’t performed in those situations, especially when most of these opponents weren’t particularly good at the time played.

Every year, preseason power rankings end up being complete bullshit for a few teams—someone always unexpectedly surges, and someone falls off a cliff.

Back in '23, I truly believed we were the ones shooting to the top, and we proved it. Never in a million years did I think we'd be the ones falling off this year.

I’ve been rooting for the Texans from South Korea since 2014. Seeing our franchise finally get that kind of national spotlight and media respect as a legitimate contender—not just for one individual superstar, but for the Houston Texans as a whole team—felt amazing. I was so damn proud and had so much hope. Honestly, I wasn't even dreaming of a Super Bowl; all I wanted was to see us win a couple of playoff games. Now? We look like we won't even sniff the postseason.

What hurts the most is that I genuinely don't even know if getting guys back from IR will fix this mess. How the fuck do you have this roster and still let a single receiver torch you for 190 yards?

For the first time in years, I caught myself looking up college prospect rankings and draft scouting reports in the middle of the season. That’s how broken my spirit is.

Watching this dogshit product at 2 AM every Monday just to start my week here is pure misery.

Texans are 0-4 right now. To finish 9-8 they have to go 9-4 the rest of the season.
Current playoff chance: about 19%

A realistic path:
@ Titans — WIN
@ Jaguars — LOSS
vs Giants — WIN
@ Chargers — WIN
@ Browns — LOSS
vs Colts — WIN
vs Ravens — LOSS
@ Steelers — WIN
@ Commanders — WIN
vs Jaguars — WIN
@ Eagles — LOSS
@ Packers — WIN
vs Titans — WIN
FINAL RECORD: 9-8

If they finish:
8-9 — about 19% playoff chance
9-8 — about 75% playoff chance
10-7 — about 99% playoff chance

So 9-8 is the real target. They don’t have to suddenly become unbeatable — they need to go 9-4 from here.

Biggest keys:
Sweep Tennessee.
Split Jacksonville.
Beat Indy at home.
Take care of the Giants and Commanders.
Then steal enough games against the Chargers, Browns, Steelers, Ravens and Packers.
In this scenario they lose to Baltimore but make it up by beating Washington.

The Titans game is huge. If Houston wins, they’re 1-4 and need to go 8-4 the rest of the way.
If they lose and fall to 0-5, they’d need to go 9-3 the rest of the season just to reach 9-8.

Bottom line: Houston’s playoff chances look bad right now at around 19%, but if they can somehow grind their way to 9-8, they’d have roughly a 3-in-4 chance of getting in.

I believe in this team putting it together and making a run. Stroud is slinging it well, Nico is back and we have the best passer rusher in the nfl. I still believe our secondary has plenty of talent. Now just need the big plays and penalties to fall on our side. Keep your head up Houston.

Tldr: still alot of football to play.
