48 hours later...what do we think of the upcoming schedule?
The NFL officially released the regular season (and preseason) schedules for the 2024-25 season this past Wednesday. Strategic leaks dominated the news beforehand, but it all went official Wednesday night. You found plenty of instant hot takes following the release of the schedule, as we are an instant-hot-take society. Yet, using the benefit of time to let the proverbial (or literal) hangover dissipate, here are some (allegedly) more thought-out takes on the upcoming schedule for the Texans:

A week by week blow by blow breakdown of the schedule.
You’ll have to forgive our indulgences as each of us here at Battle Red Blog go out on our own and do a blow by blow of the coming season. The release of the schedule is one of the biggest events in the NFL calendar and that by itself is just bizarre when you think about it. Goodness knows that no one really knows what any of these teams will look like before the season, but here is another article you can overreact to.

The schedule is out, the predictions are in
The NFL announced the 2024 schedule yesterday complete with an opening matchup for your Houston Texans vs the Indianapolis Colts. The following week sees the Texans home opener when the Chicago Bears come to town.
It does seem a little odd that H-Town plays ChiTown twice in a month and a half, with the franchises colliding in the Hall of Fame game on August 1st prior to their week 2 matchup.
However the first real test of the 2024 Texans won’t happen until week 5 when the Buffalo Bills come to town....

How many times will we get to see the Texans in prime time?
News about the NFL in the offseason understandably comes at an ultra-slow trickle. After the combine and the draft, the only thing left to look forward to is the release of the NFL schedule. Like the combine and the draft which preceded it, the official schedule release has become a date that millions of football-starved people around the world circle on the calendar.
We tease ourselves scouting for schedule rumors and drive ourselves mad trying to authenticate which dates are correct and which ones are merely wishful...
Here’s what we’ve heard might be happening, but nothing is confirmed.
The Houston Texans have been remarkable good at keeping their schedule under their hats so far this season. With drips and drabs of other teams’ schedules leaking out, we’ve barely heard a peep about the Texans. This comes as something of a shock to myself personally given all the hype that has been surrounding the team since the end of last season.
But we’ll do our best to keep track of any rumors we hear and post them here for you so you don’t have to go searching for...

Who will be in and who will be out?
The NFL calendar moves on unabated. The rookie minicamps are coming to a close and the voluntary team camps are almost upon us. As most people in the league know, the word “voluntary” has air quotes around it. It is always notable when someone isn’t at the voluntary workouts, so for all purposes the 2024 season is getting underway this week.
Naturally, it coincides with the schedule release that will come later on this week. The NFL always lets some crumbs drop to the proverbial ground before releasing the whole schedule....

Some thoughts on the schedule before its official reveal
Coming into last season, not a lot of people thought a lot of positive things about the Houston Texans.
Included in that group were the schedule-makers in the NFL. Given that the Texans were a) not a good team and b) a not good and boring team, there wasn’t a large likelihood that Houston would get more than one primetime game, if any. With the NFL no longer requiring that teams get at least one primetime game, it was not shocking to see Houston receive zero scheduled primetime matchups. They would...
