If I were Bill O'Brien, I wouldn't go to the grocery store in Houston any time soon.  ?   For those of you still stinging from the playoff loss to Houston last season, please bathe in the tears of Texans' Nation and be rejuvenated....

Managed to look at about 7 pages of that thread, and didn't see anyone call it a decent deal. No surprise, as it wasn't, but even guys who thought they could see why it happened, simply couldn't defend the compensation, at all.

I believe we made a run for Hopkins. I also feel our offer was better than what he got from Arizona. But O'Brien didn't want to see Hopkins in a Bills uniform lining up against him in next years playoff round.

That's ok, he'll get to see Diggs instead.

That assumes the Texans even get a sniff of the playoffs.

I can’t see any way they sneak in the playoffs now. Watson will have to play out of his mind all season. They just got rid of his safety net

I don't think their division is particularly strong.  Tennessee went on a run last year but the second you bottle up henry that offense isn't that good.  The colts are mediocre, and the jags will probably be bad.  So... I don't think its a stretch to say they will be in the playoffs.

No not a stretch. I just can’t see that team playing for him now. First sign of adversity I think they’re gonna quit on him. Only way to get him out of there.
