Would you today trade places with Texans fans?

Texans are hot and trendy. Stroud is everything right now. But it’s early to crown them the next powerhouse contender or the next elite quarterback. We should know better than anyone about jumping too far ahead. Let’s see how they hold up. Really fun games to watch though. They’ve been exciting

Not without a question mark it isn’t. 😉

Maybe we can swap the franchises

The rise is always fun. If you don’t win a championship during the rise it gets difficult for everyone.

The Texans had to be extremely bad for a year following their former weirdo QB taking a year off from assaulting women. The ONLY reason they’re bouncing back now is that the only team dumber than them gave up an absolute fortune to relieve Houston of their weirdo QB. With those pieces they managed to get a very promising looking QB (after a team in front of them didn’t pick the right guy, it would seem) and they also hit on late draft picks. Sounds familiar…

 

Despite the recent struggles, we have a generational QB who, admittedly, is in a slump. 90% of teams would kill to have JA, and we have talent on the team who just needs to clean a few things up. 5-5 isn’t great, but we are not out of the picture yet. I wouldn’t trade with Houston because we’ve already been down that road. Good teams struggle sometimes, great teams overcome them. We will find out which we are over the next few weeks.

 

I am in no way too much of a homer to say we are perfectly fine, but I also don’t believe it’s the end of the world just yet. Go Bills.

There's definitely not enough data to think that it's a sure thing the Texans continue trending up. 

Would “enough” data even tell us that?

 

Come on, have an opinion. No right or wrong here. 😃

I voted yes……for this year anyway.

 

BTW…I clutched my pearls in this scenario. Not sure if that skews the polling. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Okay, then no, because I'd rather have a top 5 WR and a top 3 QB.

Hell no! 

[gobills404]

No, but I think they’re fans feel right now way we did we watching Josh have his breakout year in 2020. I do miss that feeling.

What is so bad about Texas that you had to add that to your response?

 

I don't live in Texas.  Have been there a few times (Dallas and Austin are nice places) And I don't live in the Buffalo area (did when I was younger) so I am curious what that is about?

 

I can answer that from an opinion standpoint. I lived in San Antonio for over 7 years and travelled to Dallas about 100 times. For me it's about arrogance. There are a lot of residents that think everything in Texas is better than anywhere else, specifically Dallas. I had a couple of conversations that went just that way. I recall finishing a conversation by say something like, 'really? I need to check out the snow skiing here'

Can we vote that you join them?

 

Might be a landslide on that one

I lived in Bloomington, IN during the Payton Manning years and I didn't drop the Bills even when I had to watch the Colts celebrate a Super Bowl. I have lived in Cincinnati since 2007 and watched the Bengals go to the playoffs multiple times while the Bills endured an 18-year drought. I also watched as the whole city got Super Bowl fever in February 2022, but I watched that game without passion. I am a Bills fan for life so no I wouldn't switch places with a Texans fan. I wouldn't switch places with a Pats fan and their 6 rings. Would I switch rosters and cap situations with the Texans? That is another discussion. Your sudden irrational hatred of Josh Allen is way over the top, but I will say that it would have been nice for him to "get it" earlier so that the Bills could have had extra cracks at it while he was on his rookie deal.

It's not irrational hatred. There's a real rationale behind it. I can live with the turnovers if he's winning games with clutch drives and the offense is running smoothly.

 

I can't if it isn't. And it hasn't been for a good long while now.

A lot of Western New Yorkers have these prejudicial images of Texans driving pickup truck with a shotgun and chewing tobacco.  Most with those prejudicial thoughts have rarely been to Texas much lest out of the Nprth East.

I'm from NY and have lived in North Texas unfortunately for 20 years.

 

 

[msw2112]

I voted NO.  I'm a Bills fan for life and there's something special about being part of the Bills fanbase, even when times are tough.  Plus, this Bills team is not done, by any means.  If they don't bounce back this season, I'm confident they will next season.  There are too many good pieces in place (Josh Allen in particular) for that not to happen.

 

I suppose that if I interpreted the question differently, my response might have been different.  If you asked which team is the more exciting, fun team to watch right now, I'd say the Texans.  But for the long haul, no, I'm not changing places.

Sad you didnt enjoy it.  North Texas is pretty vague, parts I am sure aren't anywhere I would want to live in, other parts are probably pretty nice.  If you were unhappy, dont know why your stuck it out 20 years. 

 

But to the point of these thread, the widow with a potential franchise QB ON A ROOKIE CONTRACT  with a lot of draft capital and a good young HC, all the arrows are pointed upwards for the Texans.  Like GoBills404 stated, great feeling for the Texans like 2020 for the Bill fans when Josh had his breakout year.

I am here and it's not bad at all? I don't understand? 

I, for one, really enjoy no income tax.

 

 

Just for clarification: I would not trade spots at all. I think CJ Stroud's play right now is not going to last. I'm just trying to understand the Texas hate as a location to live.
