Houston Texans vs. Minnesota Vikings: Houston, We Have A Problem!

Wait until next year.

While not admitting it the Texans appear resigned to waiting until next year. J. J. Watt and Nick Martin will be back. Brock Osweiler will have another year of experience. All the young guns will have become vets. Next year looks good. Next year always looks good to the Texans’ management.

Unfortunately, the problem with always waiting until tomorrow is that often tomorrow never comes. The Texans can win now without mortgaging the future, but they do not seem inclined to do so. They will keep doing the same thing over and over hoping for better results.

However, look at the schedule. After what is a likely debacle in Minneapolis the Texans still have to play the Broncos, Raiders, Packers and Bengals. With Brock Osweiler behind this offensive line pencil in 5 losses, plus the Texans still have to play the rest of the schedule.

Sure the Texans can still win the AFC South, but the teams they must face in the playoffs are all elite quality, not AFC South quality. Without a fix now it’s “one and done” all over again.

I know I’m beating a dead horse once again, but I’m getting old. How long is it going to take the Texans to put it all together? Long suffering fans want to know.
