No, you\u2019re not imagining things. It\u2019s the preseason for everyone and that includes your Houston Texans. Today they make their way up to the great white north (TM) to play the Minnesota Vikings in their first on-field action of the year.<\/p>\n
Does this game matter? You better believe it does. The score doesn\u2019t, so don\u2019t even pay attention to it. Instead, watch how the players perform against future backups and practice squad players. We probably won\u2019t see much, if anything, from the first team so this is an exercise in finding out just how good our depth is. Remember how we were salivating over how deep our receiver corps was last year and it turned out we needed way more depth than we thought?<\/p>\n
But more to the point, it\u2019s also an opportunity to see how our team has been melding together during training camp\u2026or if they haven\u2019t at all.<\/p>\n
So sit down for a spell or for all four quarters and take your first gulp of Texans football for the 2025-26 season with the rest of us! The thread is yours to do what you please with it. Treat it politely, and don\u2019t be a jerk in the comments or we\u2019ll have to get the manager (me).<\/p>\n
Enjoy the game, y\u2019all. Go Texans!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"No, you\u2019re not imagining things.
