The NFL trade deadline is fast approaching, closing Tuesday, Nov. 4, at 4 p.m. ET. The 3-4 Houston Texans could be both buyers and sellers, leveraging their roster and supplemental draft picks.

If Houston is looking to add talent, they hold an extra second- and fourth-round pick in next year’s draft—each capable of netting an immediate starter at a position of need. A second-rounder, in particular, could deliver an impact player where the Texans are hurting most, such as along the offensive line.

Trading a second-round pick for a veteran would be a short-term move aimed at salvaging a season...

The Day After the Day After…when the raw, immediate emotions from the aftermath of a game diminish into the realm of clarity and the proverbial (or literal) hangover no longer haunts the mind. With that, a review of Week 8:

And Nick Caley took that personally: After the debacle in Seattle, perhaps no Texans player/coach was under more condemnation than OC Nick Caley. Ryans had to issue the dreaded verbal vote of confidence for him. Certainly, a great Seattle defense line made the offense look stupid, but Houston execution did not help matters. This game, completely different story. Granted, the...

It’s Monday night, and now that the Texans game is over (we do NOT talk about last week’s MNF in this house) it’s time to settle in for more football. Whether that’s watching Joe Buck and Troy Aikman or the Manning boys, we have you covered for tonight; which will, from what I understand, not have any more Monday night double features for the foreseeable future.

Here’s what you need to know to watch/listen to/stream tonight’s game:

Who: Washington Commanders (3-4) at Kansas City Chiefs (4-3)

What: Monday Night Football

Where: Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, MO

When: Monday, October 27,...

It’s another week and another surprising result in a rollercoaster season for the Houston Texans. Your Texans defeated the San Francisco 49ers 26-15, but the performance was more dominating than that on both ends of the game. The numbers will likely tell us as much, but we look anyway for the cumulative effect. The more often we look the more often we see patterns. Those patterns help tell us why the Texans are successful or not over the long haul.

The numbers

• Total Yards: Texans 75/475, 49ers 44/223
• Rushing Yards: Texans 36/157, 49ers 10/48
• Passing Yards:...

So, I wanted to warn y’all about something. This is going to be a rematch of Super Bowl XLV. I say this to you because you need to be prepared for Mike Tirico and (I suspect) especially Cris Collinsworth to bring this factoid up at least six or seven times every segment. I do not know much about much, but I know they love those low-hanging fruit facts.

But this is about the football.

Here’s what you need to know to watch tonight’s game:

Who: Green Bay Packers (4-1-1) at Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2)

What: Sunday Night Football

Where: Acrisure Stadium,...

The Texans, hot off an extremely disappointing loss to the Seattle Seahawks, come back to Houston to host the San Francisco 49ers in another tilt against a difficult NFC West opponent that could decide the Texans season. This is the first home game for the Texans since their victory over the Titans, and they’re desperate to get another win just like that to stay alive in a crowded AFC. The 49ers, despite relying on backup quarterback Mac Jones for most of the season, is 5-2 and in the thick of a busy NFC West race for the division crown. Both...

Just because the Texans are done playing (after winning 26-15) doesn’t mean football’s done for the day. We still got games on CBS and Fox, as prophesized by the folks at 506 Sports.

Anyway, the maps.

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, we’re so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside.

My apologies to Emerson, Lake, and Palmer but it feels like a week where we have to go on because we have to go on. Both the Texans, and us Texans fans. Last week was hard but we have a shot against these guys. So let’s hope for something that vaguely resembles competence today at home against a very much beaten up San Francisco 49ers team.

Saying the Houston Texans have been a mess on offense would be an understatement. It feels like the coaching staff is getting worse as the weeks go on, and while it might not be something that gets fixed overnight, the Texans still have some talent on the roster to get things moving in the right direction.

The offensive scheme has been criticized by just about anyone who’s watched this team, and rightfully so. It doesn’t feel like they’re putting players in positions to succeed. The best weapon Houston has on offense is wide receiver Nico Collins, and his talent is...
