Official Texans vs Packers Gameday Thread

Anybody want to do a mock draft?

Yes. Our first pick will be a WR we have never heard of from a school we have never heard of.

Unfortunately - even at a modest 5 wins - the Packers still have 9 teams with worse records...

If we do, he'll be a very solid WR.

Facts don't lie, NFC championship to missing the play-offs. Argue all ya want, but deep down we all know what is different this season.........

Yeah, we have a defense and a special teams corps that sucks canal water. All the Brett Favre worshipping in the world won't change that.

Did Rodgers effort in the Carolina game lead them to victory?? Hell, no. Because even though A-Rod lead the team down to go ahead, the ST and defense couldn't cover anybody if their life depended on it.

Did A-Rod miss the winning FG attempt in the Twinkiedome vs. the Queens? Hell no, because even though A-Rod lead the team into position, Crosby missed the FG. Plus, McCarthy pulls a mental brainfart with his playcalling to get closer. (same goes for the Carolina goal line series).

Would Favre make a difference when the special teams today F-'ed up and blew a TD return on a hold? Hell no!

I am so frickin' sick and tired of this. You are entitled to your opinion, Packnut. But your WAY out of bounds on this one. Just because we don't agree, doesn't make us delusional.

Quit kissin' #4's behind and realize that this team just flat out underachieved. That is the fault of the players, the coaching staff and reflects bad on TT as well.

He cannot go through the draft to trade down to get 5 more picks if they aren't going to produce right away.

I always will appreciate all that Favre has done for this team. But neither he, Johnny Unitas, Bart Starr or Joe Montana would resurrect this team to life if they have a coaching staff that didn't do it's job and players that can't fathom theirs.

Well if all goes as planned we could possibly get a top 10 pick and maybe the 31st or 32nd pick as well. We could turn our top 10 into a 2nd, 3rd, and 2 5th round picks. Take the second and get a 3 and a 6. Then we could also trade the 31 for a 2 and a 3. When it's all said and done we will end up with close to 15 picks and most of them will not be what we need, like defense and offense lines.

Remind me to keep ESPN off that day if that's what's going to happen. TT has to trade picks to get VETERAN players that can help NOW.

He can use that bullshit term "DANGEROUS WATERS" when he talks about free agency. But if we had a Kris Jenkins, do you think teams would run as much on us?

[CaliforniaCheez]

Even with Kapino

the Packers couldn't win.

It's a universally accepted fact that the Packers' record wasn't indicative of their skill level last year. They weren't a 13-3 team, plain and simple.

And the difference is our defense is worse.

OK, that is crazy talk... We were 13-3. There isn't any disputing that. Universally accepted... that would mean everyone in the universe agrees. I do not. Therefore, by a direct proof, it is NOT universally accepted.

We went to over time in the NFC championship game against the team that went on to physically dominate the Patriots. We played them closer then NE did. We were the second best team when all is said and done.

We're cursed. It's plain and simple.

[Joemailman]

I looked at 3 mock drafts and they all had Packers taking a DE in the 1st round. Looks like DT isn't very strong this year, at least in the 1st round. Looks like Paxk will be picking somewhere between 10-15 unless they surprise us the next few weeks.

Oh God, if I took everything you said literally.....

We were 13-3. We also had zero injuries. We also had every close game go our way. Philly, San Diego, Washington, Minnesota, Denver, KC. Yes, a lot of those games were won on talent (some of them to due to Favre) but the fact is last year we didn't lose a game by any less than 7 points. All the close games we won. It's gone in reverse this year.

We aren't as bad as we seem this year and we weren't as good as we seemed last year.

HA! Welcome to my world.

[Bretsky]

Dagger in our playoff fantasies; might as well play the young guys now to see what we have. Send TT on his nationwide visitations and start planning for the draft.

[Joemailman]

Most of the young guys are already playing because of injuries, or are injured themselves. Who do you want to see who's not playing now?

[MOBB DEEP]

Re: Difference

I'm glad this season is over. TT needs to be held responsible for not adequately staffing the defensive line. Totally unacceptable.

At least now we can just say "fuck it" and not care like most of the players right? I mean most of the players don't seem to care about losing so why do we care so much? Lose the rest of your damn games so you can get a better draft now.

They cared last season now did'nt they? Brett Favre was the heart and soul of this team. Some of you can play the denial game all you want. You can make excuse after excuse until you say it enough times to believe it. Yeah, Sanders and his high school defense sucks. Yes McCarthy is a horrible play caller. But in the end, Favre inspired and made guys play better for what-ever the reason. He brought an enthusiasm that has been missing this season. Facts don't lie, NFC championship to missing the play-offs. Argue all ya want, but deep down we all know what is different this season.........

Oh god.

Get that shit out of here.

Brett Favre made our defense not give up 20+ points everygame?

Brett Favre also used his magic powers to keep half of our defense from getting hurt.

I can go on and on and on
