One thing I should mention - this thread is not meant to be a knock on the Texans.  Yes they suck, and will likely be better in 2014.  They suck for the same reasons that the Jags sucked last year - poor play at the QB position, some key injuries on both offense and defense, and, some would argue, bad coaching.

 

I don't remember any condolence posts from the Texan, colt, or tack fans.  Texan fans wear success well, and weren't nearly as smug as the majority of the colt fans during the jughead era.  Nevertheless, they wouldn't have traded positions with us.  I do miss them, to tell you the truth.  However...

 

This thread is about US.  Specifically, our insane inferiority complex.

 

That's why I say, raise a glass and enjoy not being in the cellar of the AFC South for a change.  Enjoy the absence of ridicule, which disappeared with our 3rd win as the media found more appropriate targets.  And enjoy sweeping what most thought was the better team, because they sure as hell enjoyed sweeping us last year.

 

The Texans will likely be better next year.  After watching what we have built, I have no doubt we will be too.  Be not afraid, Jags fans.  A couple draft spots won't hurt us, but losing and losing and losing certainly will.  The Jags have still never had the worst record in the NFL.  The paper SB contenders are now assured of at least a share of it.

 

I'd be lying if I claimed it doesn't make me crack a smile.
