Newsflash: The Texans' season is over and they lasted just as far as the Cowboys did! Yee haw! Guess I'll put down my banjo, put in my teeth and have a great big slice of possum pie!

Holler at the outhouse and tell momma that the vittles is ready.

I certainly hope you took the feet off of 'em. Wolfgang Puck takes the feet off of everything nowadays, you know.

Nothing gets wasted. We pull off the toenails and wash em so that the children have toothpicks. Whatever can't be eaten/used, we take them out to the swamp to chum up the gators.

So glad (relieved?) Dallas is not coming here for the Super Bowl. (yes, you were wrong, John McClain).

In other news, Brock said in his press conference that no one is going to work harder in the off-season than he is to get better. So, it looks like we're going to be in good shape for next year! :thumbs up:

Seeing where Jerry Jones is trying to rationalize the loss while denying there's no such thing as a morale victory when you know he's saying yesterdays game was a moral victory for his team.
Hey Jerry you are one and done, end of story. Get over it.
And you know how they always show you Jerry yucking it up with his pals in his suite at the stadium on TV after his team scores, but I so wanted to see him after the Packers made that winning FG. That's the Jerry Jones scene I want to see on the tube.

Eheh. Yeah, they won't show that.....

I do kinda like the replays where they show the reaction of the head coach/sideline of the winning team on a game winning FG and then show the reaction of the losing sideline....

Sometimes they kinda overdo it though, IMO. Like when a player does something bone-headed and the cameras will focus in own his face so close you can count the pores on his skin... Poor guy probably wants to crawl under a rock yet, he gets excess seconds of face time...

Classic thread is classic.

Ya know, all of the Texans' woes can be summed up in one word: quarterback. It's a damn shame you need one to be successful in the league now.

Actually, everyone knows this. Everyone but the Texans.

The long-term answer to the problem most likely comes from a high pick in the draft. O'Brien and Smith must ignore this no longer.

The Texans have drafted seven QBs in franchise history.

2002 - 1st round - David Carr
2003 - 3rd round - Dave Ragone
2003 - 6th round - Drew Henson
2004 - 7th round - B.J. Symons
2008 - 7th round - Alex Brink
2011 - 5th round - T.J. Yates
2014 - 4th round - Tom Savage

Here's another word to sum up this list: Yikes.

Want to win a Super Bowl? Finally invest an important draft pick in the most important position, and we can maybe then move on from calling each other rednecks every postseason.

Say, Buford, that reminds me - how are you and your kin down your side of the holler planning to celebrate the holiday today? I reckon you'll break out some of pappy's corn squeezins and have one hell of a hoedown.
