Soon everything that just transpired will either be forgotten, or strange dots of memories. Did David Culley turn down a penalty just to punt, Brandin Cooks leap over helpless defensive backs, Philip Lindsay barely break two yards a carry, Nick Caserio trade Mark Ingream for a 2023 6th round pick, Laremy Tunsil sit out the entire season with a thumb injury that limited his pincer grasp, Tyrod Taylor throw an interception throwing the ball away, Houston turn Carson Wentz into a starting quarterback, Davis Mills morph from unplayable to an interesting prospect, and Tytus Howard became the Texans left tackle of the future. Yes. Yes, all these things occurred. Before they are lost forever, and the Texans became a brand new team once again, Battle Red Blog’s masthead revisits the past, and looks ahead to the future. On this episode of Battle Rad Radio, Matt Weston, Scott (L4Blitzer), Kenneth L., Uprooted Texan, TIM, and Rivers McCown, look back on the 2021 Houston Texans season, and preview the 2022 Texans offseas

Everything has been ruined. The NFL ruined what was once perfect and square, and turned it into an oddly shaped nonsensical squiggle. 17 games. 18 weeks. More football that doesn’t need to exist. The Super Bowl pushed into Valentine’s Day. As a result, everything is squished together, into one mashed pile. Rather than have any time for reflection, to look back on what just occurred to learn about what just occurred, it’s time to look immediately to the next thing right away. It’s time for free agency, it’s time for the NFL Draft. Football is still rolling all the way into April. On this episode of Battle Rad Radio, Mike Meltser joins Matt Weston to bridge the gap from the 2021 NFL regular season to the 2022 NFL offseason. Topics include: hating the Super Bowl, a quick series of 2021 related questions, how and why the Houston Texans got to Lovie Smith, what the expectations are for Smith, the newest Deshaun Watson trade partners, free agents that make sense for Houston, where we’re at with the third overall pi

No matter how badly you want something, this isn’t enough for something to occur. All I wanted was for the Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills to play in the postseason. Instead, Ryan Tannehill threw a late interception that turned into a Evan McPherson game winning field goal after Joe Burrow hit Ja’Marr Chase on a corner route, and Josh Allen gave Patrick Mahomes eight seconds too many, which led to his defense wasting his legendary performance. Let this be a lesson to everyone. Desire isn’t enough. On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Matt Weston and his good friend Taylor preview the Championship Round of the 2021 NFL Playoffs. Topics include: Nathaniel Hackett bringing Aaron Rodgers to Denver, Dan Quinn refusing to enter the world again, Byron Leftwich trying to get his boss fired already, missing Josh Allen, Tom Brady’s impending retirement, Ja’Marr Chase going sicko mode, no one being able to tackle Patrick Mahomes, why the San Francisco 49ers keep beating the Los Angeles Rams, and Cooper Kupp is the gr

This is vacation. I have a pink aquatic bird in my cup. Sunscreen slathered across my belly. My heart merry and bright. For I have spent eighteen weeks watching every Houston Texans game, watching the condensed version, watching the Coach’s film, and writing and talking about the Houston Texans. A football team devoid of questions. A crawl through the sludge. But now we are free. We get to watch real, actual football again. The Divisional Round is the best sports weekend of the year, and will wash out the Super Wildcard Round life wasting spread. I can’t wait for it. On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Matt Weston and his good friend Taylor, break down the Divisional Round of the 2021 NFL playoffs. Topics include: fat Tony Romo, the gang getting back together in Tennessee, Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase going sicko mode, the strange aspects of San Francisco-Green Bay that could make it uncomfortable for the Packers, why the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have problems with the Los Angeles Rams, and the game of the centu

Eight teams are still continuing their playoff dreams. Divisional round planning, trying to turn the thing they spent years envisioning into reality. Eight teams are also looking to find a new head coach. The Las Vegas Raiders, Denver Broncos, Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, and Houston Texans, area all searching for one. Hines Ward? Josh McCown? Jarod Mayo? David Culley? It’s time to go through the possibilities to find the best candidate for each team. Don’t forget. There are only 32 of these. On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Matt Weston and his good friend Taylor, pick and choose head coaches for each NFL team. Topics include: if Dallas will retain Mike McCarthy for another season, Dan Quinn moving back into a head coaching position, the best person to lead the Jacksonville Jaguars who have cap space and young talent and top draft picks once again, Deshaun Watson and Brian Flores linking up in New York (G), and who should run the Houston Texans.

We’ve seen the metaphors before. Climbing through the tunnel of excrement, pushing the boulder to the hill, docking the submarine, waltzing through the toy aisle during Christmas time after accidentally attending an occult ritual and questioning the foundation of a marriage. Now we are the metaphor. We are experiencing something we used to connect to, and are living it. The Houston Texans finished their 2021 NFL season last weekend. The weekly battle fight of watching the game, talking and listening and thinking about the game, doom scrolling, and watching the film is over. We are fans again. Able to sit on the couch and enjoy the game of football. I have a seat for you right next to me. I’ve been waiting for you. On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Matt Weston and his good friend Taylor, preview the Super Wildcard Round of the 2021 NFL Playoffs. Topics include: the mediocre Las Vegas Raiders push to the playoffs, the last time the Cincinatti Bengals won a playoff game, the frigid Buffalo weather, Philadelph
