The Houston Texans unveiled their new uniforms today. This was the work of fan input in trying to put together a new look and new identity for the Texans. This video basically encapsulates the hustle and character of Houston with the new Texans uniforms:



Personally, I like these new Houston Texans uniforms a lot. The numbers and fonts appear sharper and more edgy but not overaggressive. The stylized "H" looks great while having some hints of Oilers blue. I am not blown away by the new uniforms, but I strongly like the new uniforms. So I'm going to give this an "A" or at worst, an "A-".
 
The NFL Draft begins tomorrow night. My Houston Texans won't be making picks until Friday. Now for some new uniform talk.

People here in Houston are still raving over the new Houston Texans uniforms. I seen a number of videos breaking down each uniform and all of their details. The Texans claimed they've had literally thousands of fans discuss what they wanted to see in making the new uniforms for the past two years. Not saying this as a homer, but I think the Texans have perhaps the best newer uniforms of all teams that changed things up, and now I'm even more excited for the 2024 NFL season to start seeing the new Texans threads.

Elsewhere regarding uniforms...

* I think the New York Jets got some nice new uniforms. Green is not my favorite color (blue is), but I tend to like the dark green of the Jets as much as I do the green for the modern Philadelphia Eagles.

* My Texans aren't the only surging NFL team of late- another on-the-rise team is Joey D's Detroit Lions. Detroit's newer uniforms look okay to me, though. I wasn't really blown away on the newer style.

* Most of the ones people did not like as much are the newer Denver Broncos uniforms. However, their "Orange Crush" throwbacks from the 1970s are very cool.


If any of you seen the newer uniforms, what do you think about certain uniforms unveiled by teams lately?
 
From Detroit, the 2024 NFL Draft begins TONIGHT! The lives of many a college football player who declared for the Draft will be in for this life-changing event. Who will go where? Be sure to watch to see what players get drafted and to what teams starting tonight.
 
I was hoping we'd take a flyer on JJ/Penix, but it was obvious we'd get a WR since we let Saquon walk and we (incorrectly) gave DJ lots of money. This receiver isn't going to do much good because A) No O Line B) No more Saquon/run game and C) DJ's ceiling has been reached. I bet we'll get an even better draft spot next year! :lol:

QB is by far the most important position, so maybe Atlanta is ahead of the game in having 2 starters ready. Cousins isn't exactly an ironman.

My Steelers took a tackle for the 2nd year running, which is very boring and also the absolute correct thing to do. Sort out the blocking now and then figure out the QB situation, so whoever we go with long-term has some chance of staying upright. We had no chance of getting a franchise guy this year anyway.
 
The 1st rd was very interesting. I would have preferred that the Jets took Bowers but I have no problem with them taking an Olineman especially since Tyron Smith hasn't played a full season in a couple of years. I don't understand why Buffalo basically hand the Chiefs Xavier Worthy. That's all Mahomes needs a Tyreek Hill type receiver.
 
The Houston Texans' 2024 NFL Draft went like this:

  • Rd. 2, 42: Kamari Lassiter (CB, Georgia)
  • Rd. 2, 59: Blake Fisher (T, Notre Dame)
  • Rd. 3, 78: Calen Bullock (S, USCal)
  • Rd. 4, 127: Cade Stover (TE, Ohio State)
  • Rd. 6, 188: Jamal Hill (LB, Oregon)
  • Rd. 6, 205: Jawhar Jordan (RB, Louisville)
  • Rd. 7, 238: Solomon Byrd (DE, USCal)
  • Rd. 7, 247: Marcus Harris (DT, Auburn)
  • Rd. 7, 249: Ladarius Henderson (G, Michigan)

I haven't studied any of the picks, but I welcome the newest Texans.
 
Not knowing college football at all. Panthers seem have done a good job overall with the draft. Understandable there's some question marks with Xavier Lagette (how good is his Southern accent, btw? lol) not having much production outside of last year and Jonathon Brooks coming off an ACL. But Bryce Young needed weapons and they've at least given him some now.

I don't know enough about college football to say if Keon Coleman will be a good pick for the Bills, but he's already one of my favourite players. Check out his press conference and other intro vids, that young man is going to be a star.
 
During the latest NFL Draft, I was meaning to mention... I saw an interesting pick Joey D's Detroit Lions drafted. They drafted an offensive tackle out of British Columbia, Canada named Giovanni Manu. He goes 6'7", 350 lbs- A GIANT! Detroit had an awesome season last season. They can only get better. Hopefully MoTown can go platinum if they can reach (and perhaps win) the Super Bowl some time soon.
 
The Houston Texans in 2024... here's the schedule (! = division (AFC South) game):

  • SEP 8: at IND Colts!
  • SEP 15: CHI Bears (SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL)
  • SEP 22: at MIN Vikings
  • SEP 29: JAX Jaguars!
  • OCT 6: BUF Bills
  • OCT 13: at NE Patriots
  • OCT 20: at GB Packers
  • OCT 27: IND Colts!
  • OCT 31: at NYJ Jets (THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL)
  • NOV 10: DET Lions (SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL)
  • NOV 18: at DAL Cowboys (MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL)
  • NOV 24: TEN Titans!
  • DEC 1: at JAX Jaguars!
~~~ bye week ~~~
  • DEC 15: MIA Dolphins
  • DEC 21: at KC Chiefs
  • DEC 25: BAL Ravens (on Netflix)
  • (JAN 4 2025 or JAN 5 2025): at TEN Titans!

The Texans' first regular season game is on September 8, 2024. Have a baller previous season, you get a baller upcoming season. How much more can the Texans improve? It will be interesting to see if the Texans can take that next step forward and truly be a contender.


So... that's my beloved NFL team. How about the schedule for your favorite team(s)?

Horrendous, brutal, just nuts. Starting with 3 of 4 on the road, ending with 6 of the last 8 games against 2023 playoff teams.
NFL hates my Steelers.

Wow... what a Christmas present you're getting- the two-time defending Super Bowl Champs. You do get my Texans on August 9 in the Preseason. Yeah, this is BRUTAL. Just the stretch from hosting the Ravens to hosting the Bengals has me gravely concerned for the Steelers. I agree with you, mate. Could be a LOOOOONG season. Keep good faith, though.
