Rejoice, Texans fans- this lost cause of a season is finally over. From 2-0... to 2-14, and a First Overall draft pick. You go from contender to worst in the league. It's like blowing your engine and coasting to the finish line. Depressingly terrible. But hey- I'm still a Texans fan. No fair weather fan in me. The Texans must have contracted the Astros' losing curse and have it screw up their football season. Sad.
Texans lost 16-10 at Tennessee. We've been done long ago. Absolute m:censored:f:censored:ing bulls:censored: season. Congratulations to the Super Bowl champs. F:censored: it- Texans done. They depressed on every level except for the play of Andre Johnson and J.J. Watt. I hope we can have an impressive 2014 season to get the stink of 2013 off of our asses.

Tannehill throws 3 picks, 2 to our "pathetic CB" Dee Millner, and the Jets eliminate the Dolphins from playoff contention 20-7.
Baltimore also falls off the playoff wagon, losing to Cincinnati.
Carolina locks up first round bye with victory over Atlanta. They can get homefield advantage if both Arizona and St. Louis win.

Denver Broncos blow out Oakland, 34-14, clinching the #1 seed and setting the record for most points in a season.

Well it looks like Rex will back. He did a really good job to get that bunch to 8-8. ESPN is reporting that the Browns will fire their coach I hope it's not true because they were held back by the quarterback position.

The Bengals got a win and knocked out the defending champs. It wasn't pretty, but it was still a W. And thank you, San Diego, for somehow pulling a rabbit out of your hat and coming back to beat KC. Having Pittsburgh come into Cincy for the first round would have been an automatic loss for us. At least we will have a chance against the Chargers. I still would have rather seen the Bills knock off the Patriots, but they made too many mistakes near the end of the game.
Now...if only we (a Cincinnati team) can WIN a playoff game, it will be a step in the right direction. Neither the Bengals nor Reds have gotten past the first round of the playoffs since 1995 (Been knocked out by the Steelers in '05, Jets in '09, Texans in '11 and '12, Phillies in '10, Giants in '12, and Pirates in '13 (and technically by the Mets in a wildcard game just to get into the playoffs in '99)). Oy.

The regular season is over. Playoff teams are gearing up for postseason play while the non-playoff teams will try to figure out what's next and how to improve for next season. If you're welcome to assess your team(s) at this point, feel free to do so. Here is my Texans' assessment...
I have used the analogies of "blown engine," "leaking oil," and even "blown tires." How else can you describe a season where so much is expected of you, yet you fail on almost every fathomable level? That describes the 2013 Houston Texans with their 2-14 record. Many locals (myself excluded) felt this was the year the Texans will just waltz their way into the Super Bowl. But before you can make the Super Bowl, you must first make the playoffs, and we (obviously) didn't do that this season. Those Super Bowl hopes were true for... only two games. I figured we'd lose at Baltimore. However, I wasn't expecting the team to constantly lose game after game. There were plenty of games I thought we should have won- vs. Seattle, vs. Indianapolis, vs. St. Louis, maybe even at Kansas City. Many games for the Texans were decided by 10 or fewer points during this losing streak.
When Matt Schaub had that string of interceptions returned for touchdowns (pick-sixes), it was basically time for change. Enter Case Keenum. He could do nothing to reverse Houston's losing ways, but he certainly provided looseness and versatility. I'd say he was a damn good QB despite not winning any games. The most frightening moment this season was when Gary Kubiak collapsed around Halftime of the Sunday Night game vs. Indianapolis. Kubiak would later be fired once the losing streak hit 11 games. Wade Phillips would take over as interim coach.
All in all, the 2013 Houston Texans are a talented team that found failure and ways to fail to lead to a 2-14 record. We were 2-14 back in 2005. This 2-14 really feels bad because the talent was so much better in 2013 compared to that woeful 2005 season. Trouble just seemed to find the Texans often this season. I felt this season was more like a curse rather than a talented team simply not producing. It isn't like the 2013 Texans are still the expansion Texans- these are boys who became men starting with the 2011 season. I like this team moving forward. Sadly, the record- and even the effort in certain games this past season, doesn't show positive progress.
It's the worst Texans season ever in my view. This is a worse 2-14 than the 2-14 in 2005. There is promise things will get turned around. But... we'll be back to watching the playoffs rather than being in them. Those are the sad state of affairs for Houston's NFL team. How about yours? Congratulations to all teams who made the playoffs.

At least the season is over for both my teams (Texans & Vikings) so I won't have to endure anymore frustrating weeks when it comes to football.
On a related note, the Vikings fired Leslie Frazier as HC and will seemingly take their time finding a new one. Really seems it will be awhile before they are competitive again as not only will there be a new coach, there is a good chance we will be losing Jared Allen, Kevin Williams and a few other defensive players to free agency. I really think this may be the best time to shop AP as we need to rebuild and the draft seems to be the best way as of late, plus he is getting closer and closer to the cliff all RB's seem to fall off of.
