Building "Bridges" Across the Bayou City!

Read MoreLet me preface this by saying I love JJ. He was not just a great player for us, he was also a pillar of the community. His charitable efforts did so much for so many people when they needed it most, and for that he’ll always be beloved in this city.
Which ties into my reason for making this thread. The city of Houston, like much of the state, was just ravaged by a freak winter storm. Millions were without power during freezing temperatures.
This should be right in the wheelhouse for someone who raised $37 million for the city after Harvey, right? He said in a recent video that he thinks of the community as family. If that’s sincere, you’d think he would have at least mentioned the situation on social media, right?
Since last Monday he’s tweeted about his family, his dog, and free agency, but not one word about the disaster. That’s so uncharacteristic that I can’t help but wonder if the the last two years left such a bad taste in his mouth that he’s ready to put the city in the rear view mirror.
If that’s the case, then his release shifts from bittersweet (“go get you a ring”) to depressing (“I’m sorry our team broke you”).

He would have resigned by now if he truly believed the message he preaches. He exclaims service to others, yet he’s clinging to a job despite his presence being a clear detriment to the team. The man’s a fraud, and Cal’s a fool if he can’t see it.

Read MoreDo you feel 3 years, $33 million for our current center was worth it? Has Martin played up to expectations? Or would we have been better off finding someone else if he didn’t want to play for significantly less than what O’Brien gave him?

This is the laziest crap I’ve read in some time. How can you evaluate someone’s draft without…you know… evaluating their draft?!

Houston Texans: Hard to recall a draft so extensively leveraged to obtain veterans. Newly anointed (but long-acting) GM Bill O’Brien shipped out most of his best picks for players like newly extended Tunsil – he’ll cost another first-rounder plus a second in 2021, too – WR Brandin Cooks, CB Gareon Conley and RB Duke Johnson. Tunsil is a nice player, but his price was way too high. The others are eminently replaceable. And to also deal Jadeveon Clowney, basically for a third-rounder, while settling for a second-rounder and RB David Johnson in exchange for a transcendent talent like Hopkins? Brutal. O’Brien’s first official selection as GM was TCU DT Ross Blacklock at No. 40, which actually seems like pretty solid value. But in sum, this feels like a staggering net loss.

This is in response to the notion that Bill O’Brien should be praised for the development of Deshaun Watson.
With our putrid defense, we’re going to live and die on our quarterback’s shoulders. So before we applaud O’Brien for developing Watson, let’s make sure that Watson’s development is actually worthy of praise.

You’ve no doubt heard “there’s always next year”. But what does a fan base tell itself when next year promises more of the same and the same is good for nothing but frustration and disappointment?
Bill O’Brien is a stubborn ass. He refuses to change a god damn thing, and as a result we’re going to be seeing the same problems next year that we saw all too often this year.
Offense is sputtering? O’Brien refuses to hire a legit OC. Defense is getting gashed? O’Brien refuses to hire RAC. We’re stuck; we can’t win if Bill O’Brien won’t change and he’s incapable of changing because his fucking ego won’t let him.
And that has the phrase “there’s always next year” ringing hallow in my ears.
