Quote:So you're saying if they got a game manager they might be able to not get humiliated?


I'd say they should already be humiliated for signing a game manager to such a massive contract, but I also disagree with you, Hoyer is a game manager, they weren't winning that game, and if they'd have just handed the ball off on every down it wouldn't have helped them, either.


In any case I'm not worried about the texans, all of the Jaguars problems facing that team have been on our own sideline. Give the Jaguars a real head coach and I guarantee the texans will be getting repeatedly swept just like they used to against the Manning led colts.

In their games last season when Hoyer (or Mallett) wasn't turning the ball over repeatedly, the Texans looked pretty good. Are they one of the top-tier, elite teams? Definitely not.


But, with that defense (as long as it continues to play very tough) combined with an offense that doesn't give the ball away 2 to 6 times a game, they can compete.


We've seen it time and again, even recently, where a team with a tough defense and an offense that doesn't turn the ball over can win and even go far (i.e. last year's Broncos, Panthers, Seahawks). Heck, even the Vikings with the epitome of a game manager QB and a tough defense was very good last year. They only lost their playoff game to the Seahawks by a chip-shot shank FG which would've won it.


Anyway, yes, the Texans can be a tough team if their defense stays very good and Osweiler manages some turnover-free games.

Just my opinion.
