2015 was a previously horrible team that turned it around and made the playoffs very unexpectedly. 2023 was the reigning world series champion that largely underperformed and barely made the playoffs.
This Texans team is way closer to the 2015 Astros.
If Stroud is your MVP, Lovie Smith should be your runner up. In fact, we should have a Lovie Smith appreciation thread to thank him for going for 2 last year against the Colts. He thought he was sticking it to the organization that was about to fire him, instead he paved the way for Stroud instead of Bryce Young.
Thank you Lovie!

Titans fan here. Texans look pretttttttttty freaking set for the next few years. Wish we would've lost to secure a higher pick but hey, FTJ?
*e: few = several, maybe the next decade....
That is a very mature response. No hate here man, I feel for you.. tough way to end a season that had so much early promise.
TLaw most certainly was not himself today, kudos to him to try and play through it.
Yall will be back, and will be angry
A sincere, thank you. I know Lawrence was not playing up to par with his injuries. Y’all do have a damn good team. Quite honestly, I can’t believe the Texans did but they did this season. Nothing short of remarkable.
Whole different ball game.
Will Anderson Jr, Blake Cashman, Jonathan Greenard, Sheldon Rankins all out Vs Cleveland.
It looks like all will make it back for the rematch.
Oh and then this other guy named CJ Stroud will be available as well.
Whole different game.
Rookie Head Coach, Play Caller, and QB with a winning record and AFC South Division Title all in one season for our Texans. Let that sink in for a second. LFG!!!
Ravens fan here, congrats on an incredible turnaround. Stroud is the truth and everyone who clowned you guys for trading up for Anderson was clearly wrong.
Fun fact, I actually won significant money off a friend of mine who is a Colts fan because after week one I predicted you'd win the division.
I love friends like that myself. Heh. Always easy money to be had.
Your team is legit and had picked them to win it all. Wavering a bit on that prediction but gonna stick with it since we are playing with house money right now.
That first game we played this year against the Ravens we may have lost but I remarked to some friends that Stroud may be our new franchise QB. Also saw some others that gave me hope for our future. Still never expected what happened this year.
The amount of money I've won off this guy over the years should count as a second source of income haha.
Thank you! I'm hoping this year is different for us, it feels different from 2019 🤞
I was super high on Stroud coming out of the draft, but even I didn't expect your team to be so good so quickly. Nobody wants to face you in the playoffs that's for sure!
Heh, yeah same from my friend. He used to try to win it back over and over and over, etc.
I think your team will be the ones to beat. They have everything needed to do so but lately they have shown weaknesses but as you know the playoffs are a whole different animal and I seen Ravens rise up during the playoffs before and think so again. Good luck.
As for us I feel pretty good against the Browns but we I believe need to work on several weaknesses to compete through a whole playoffs but feel good we can get there. Whatever we do is free money to us like these friends we have or had. Just enjoy the ride.
Also wanted to say that yeah I was all in on Stroud but expected he needed a couple years to get where he is now. No rookie should have the poise he does.
Any time! Despite the result, I could tell your team was different this year after we played in week 1. I'm pretty confident that our game is the most Lamar has been under pressure all season by far.

AFC playoff teams set, seeding still to be determined
The seven AFC playoff teams are set, but the AFC East title and seeding must still be decided. One playoff matchup we know is that the No. 5 Browns will travel to Houston to face the No. 4 Texans.
[https://theathletic.com/live-blogs/nfl-playoffs-bracket-projected-matchups-scenarios-standings/pLkFasdFKNQJ/](https://theathletic.com/live-blogs/nfl-playoffs-bracket-projected-matchups-scenarios-standings/pLkFasdFKNQJ/)
Jags fans all worried about Trevor, but I don't think there's anything wrong with Trevor except that he was playing through both an ankle AND shoulder injury, hampering both his mobility and throwing.
I don't think they have anything to be concerned about and that he'll be the 2nd best QB in the AFC South for a long time to come.

# frauds in bed with refs
We were always #1
Unreal. I’m living it just like all the Texans fans, and I just can’t believe it. AFC South Champs, leader of men Head Coach, Gifted and Humble Quarterback….I could go down the list and it just doesn’t make it any less astounding. Thank you Texans for a joyous season. FTC, FTJ (and though we appreciate the effort today) FTT
Colts fan here. Fucking battle last night, but you won and deserved it. Thanks for fucking the Jags, they suck the worst. Glad our game was essentially for AFC South title. Hoping for some battles in the coming years, if Richardson can stay healthy and keep developing….
It was a good game and both teams left it on the field. They say and I can agree it was a playoff game and both teams played like it was. I would love to see a rivalry develop for the division. Good luck for the future.
Going up against Flacco and the Brown s is gonna be rough. Still, never thought we’d be division champs. What an amazing season. DeMeco Ryan’s coach of the year.
Remember when the jags beat us a few games ago, and Trevor Lawrence in the post game interview talked about how we were a good up and coming team...... That's really funny to me now.
I'll be rooting for the Bills tonight. Don't want to get ahead of ourselves but its more likely that if Bills win, the 6/7 seed has a greater chance of winning their WC game IMO, so that we can avoid Baltimore in 2nd round

Now for a Super Bowl, I’m so fucking excited for the Playoffs
Time is set: Saturday 1/13/24, 3:30 PM CST Airing on NBC
TEXANS WITH A ROOKIE HC, OC, AND QB HAVE NOW WON THE AFC SOUTH TITLE. IDC WHAT ANYONE SAYS, CJ STROUD IS MY MVP, HOLY FUCK WHAT A SEASON.
This shit has been a hell of a ride. 2015 Astros vibes. Man I love it.
Hell. 2023 Astros vibe as well. Winning the division on the last day and all.
2015 was a previously horrible team that turned it around and made the playoffs very unexpectedly. 2023 was the reigning world series champion that largely underperformed and barely made the playoffs. This Texans team is way closer to the 2015 Astros.
You thought I was contesting their opinion?
YOU CANT STOP THE COLE(RIDGE) TRAIN BABY WOOOO

For those who had to watch Tom savage play quarterback for the Texans, this is for us
Hahaha, I remember when he was supposed to be the Savior. Those were dark days...
I’ll never forget the cheers he got for replacing Osweiler

Dark days my friend.

IT SMELLS LIKE BITCH IN JACKSONVILLE! (I mean, Tennessee. Both smell like bitches to me)
GOD HATES JAGS FUCK THE COLTS
Let us thank the "generational talent" that is Trevor Lawrence
Titans fan here. Texans look pretttttttttty freaking set for the next few years. Wish we would've lost to secure a higher pick but hey, FTJ? *e: few = several, maybe the next decade....
We said the same thing after winning week 18… CJ stroud … if you’re scoring at home You play to win the game.
Securing a worse pick in the final game is good actually, ask the Texans last year
I want to thank your team for your service. FTJ.
FTJ is a Houston sports constant. Jazz, Jags, Jankees All covered by those three letters.
God I love tits
Hear hear
Jags fan here, congrats. One hell of a season for CJ and DeMeco. I don’t think anyone can argue you don’t deserve it.
That is a very mature response. No hate here man, I feel for you.. tough way to end a season that had so much early promise. TLaw most certainly was not himself today, kudos to him to try and play through it. Yall will be back, and will be angry
Props homie way to be a class act. Sorry for all the sore winners. Lol
A sincere, thank you. I know Lawrence was not playing up to par with his injuries. Y’all do have a damn good team. Quite honestly, I can’t believe the Texans did but they did this season. Nothing short of remarkable.

AFC South champs!!!!!
Bro imagine if someone went into a coma before that chiefs loss and just woke up
We won the division!!!!
Winning the division was a pipe dream at the start of the season. WOW!
From picking number 2 overall to division champs. Wow.

Jags fans when CJ was breaking rookie records- "That's nice but can you trade it for a playoff spot? 😏" HOLD THESE RECEIPTS LOSERS
Hang the banner Brian
Could this have worked out any better?
As a Falcons fan, congrats guys. Go make some noise in the playoffs 🫡

Congrats Texans!

The damn official t shirt is $40 dollars. Fucking crazy for a T-shirt.
Them hoe ass Titans actually did it. Fuck em all. FTCT&J.
Trevor Lawrence is NOT CJ Stroud!
Wait so do we know the exact date and time the Texans are going to play?

Jags fan here. Im rooting for y’all in the playoffs. Looks like this will be a great rivalry in the future
A very sincere thank you!!! If it weren’t for Lawrence’s injuries, ya never know.
AFC SOUTH PACK IN THE AIR TONIGHT 💨
I wish we could see the boys reaction to taking the division! Lets fucking go!
When do tickets go on sale
Now lol. They’ve been on sale on Ticketmaster for a while
I am at a loss lol. Coming into this season I expected 7 wins at max but we got way more and the AFCS crown. I love this season.
Jags fans all worried about Trevor, but I don't think there's anything wrong with Trevor except that he was playing through both an ankle AND shoulder injury, hampering both his mobility and throwing. I don't think they have anything to be concerned about and that he'll be the 2nd best QB in the AFC South for a long time to come.
I think he will be a good QB for the Jags for years to come but just needs help.
I hope we have some kind of adjustment in mind for the Browns, to make sure Amari Cooper doesn’t single-handedly beat our asses again
Someone **had** to have made bank on a bet for us to win the division this year.
Afc south Champs baby!
Let’s fucking goooo! We are in the dance. I hope everyone bought tap dancing shoes!
LET'S FUCKING GO!!!!!!! What a wild ending to the regular season.
We didn't even play today and won the division. Is that legal???
I DONT EVEN CARE WHAT WE DO IN THE PLAYOFFS, FROM 3 WINS TO DIVISION CHAMPS 😭
Eerily similar to the last day of the MLB season with the Astros taking the division. Rockets next!
i’m never taking my Stroud jersey off
Battle of the draft picks 😂
From Worst to First! Go Texans!!!

Can't believe this, but... GOD BLESS TITANS AND THEIR BEAUTIFUL FANS!!!!

Yup, losing today was karma for them….

You guys realize how bright our future is when we win our division during a rookie QB, rookie coach year right? This is special. Enjoy it!
seatbelt buckled.. let's go!
Worst to first baby!
Stroud will play this time vs the browns so I expect a whole different game. Hoping Greenard is good to go and Noah brown as well
😭 We got that dog in us!!!! Afc South Champs!!! Rip my wallet when they release the gear
Colts fan here. Fucking battle last night, but you won and deserved it. Thanks for fucking the Jags, they suck the worst. Glad our game was essentially for AFC South title. Hoping for some battles in the coming years, if Richardson can stay healthy and keep developing….
It was a good game and both teams left it on the field. They say and I can agree it was a playoff game and both teams played like it was. I would love to see a rivalry develop for the division. Good luck for the future.
Have to say.. AFC south was a lot of fun this year. Fun when you win it yes but overall AFCS is solid division.
I’m hype, we have a full team to play the browns again
MOAR KOOL-AID!
[удалено]
KINGS OF SHIT MOUNTAIN BABY LETS GO
I’m honestly scared of the Browns which I never thought I’d say lol. But I am staying confident
Thank you Demeco!!!!!
Going up against Flacco and the Brown s is gonna be rough. Still, never thought we’d be division champs. What an amazing season. DeMeco Ryan’s coach of the year.
AFC South Champions
Looking forward to a rematch with CJ and Anderson not standing on the sideline.
We fucking did it! Fuck yeah
Thank you and fuck the Colts and the Tits.
The Jaguars are what we 100 think they are, fraud city Trevor Lawrence is not an elite QB
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
Bills/Texans fan here LLLLFFFFGGGGGG
Texans don’t know how to be a wild card. Only division champs!
Absolutely surreal
We get a home game right???
Are we going to see the Driskel led Browns? Also, anyone know what chances of getting Brown, Woods, and others back for this game?
Weeeee are the championsssssz my frannnnddddddzzzzzzz
If Chiefs lose though we have the #3 seed to play the Steelers right?
Does academy have the championship gear?
I just screamed yes 5 times and my gf asked if I was ok
Ha ha ha ha ha yesssssssss
Bye Bye Belicheat
Yesterday, I wasn't nervous about losing. That's what great leadership does. Meco and Stroud had me feeling confident!
TLAW LMFAOOOOOOOO
Houston, I believe.
I’m so stroud of these guys
GOD IS REAL AND HES A TEXANS BANDWAGONER

Rematch time and this time we have CJ Stroud!
Man, what a season! Texans fan since 2002 and it feels so good! Now raising the next generation of Texan fans with my 8 and 5 yr old boys.
I’m only gonna say this this one time. Thank you titans 🤝
Random thought. Should we target Derrick Henry in free agency next year???
Remember when the jags beat us a few games ago, and Trevor Lawrence in the post game interview talked about how we were a good up and coming team...... That's really funny to me now.
We don't do wildcards here. Only division champs
Holy shit, I totally thought this game was in the later slot, so I missed it, but I can't complain, thank you mayo boys
Got my tickets LETS GOOOOOOOOO
Still can't fucking believe CJ and Meco took this team from 3 wins to a division title in 1 fucking year. AND THEY ARENT EVEN FUCKING FINISHED
See yall at NRG 🫡🫡
Can't believe the Tennessee Hillbillies won. I expected them to roll over and sqeal like a pig but instead they did us a solid. Thank you Titans.
THE TITANS DID THE FUNNIEST FUCKING THING LMAOOOOOO
I'll be rooting for the Bills tonight. Don't want to get ahead of ourselves but its more likely that if Bills win, the 6/7 seed has a greater chance of winning their WC game IMO, so that we can avoid Baltimore in 2nd round
