The Texans has 1000 yard (almost 2000 one year??) every year and 1000 yard receivers every year except maybe the year Johnson was hurt half the season. I'm not saying the Bills were total garbage, but the Texans were (and still are) a better team and have had a top 10 defense every year since Phillips came over.
I would be careful making claims on how good 2-14 is but let me list what Fitz had at Buffalo on the same team at the same time.
Fred Jackson, CJ Spiller and Marshawn Lynch.
Steve Jackson, Lee Evans, Terrell Owens, Marcus Easely and Josh Reed. Decent offensive lines and a Top 10 defense 3 times in his 4 years here.
Not statistically! Basically everyone you mentioned on that list was complete garbage when Fitzpatrick was in Buffalo. I'm not sure that there was a 1000 yard rusher in the bunch during that time frame and there was maybe 1 year where one of those guys received 1000 yards. Arian Foster has rushed for over 1000 in every season he has played more than 8 games. Andre has gone over 1000 yards in every season since 2007 that he has played more than 7 games. The Bills never had anyone close to that caliber of player on offense! I can remember how pissed I was about having Marshawn Lynch on my fantasy team when he was on the bills. He was complete garbage the last couple years until he got traded to the Seahawks. Maybe if the Bills had Marshawn Lynch today, and Stevie Johnson (too early?) and a decent TE...
2010 - Texans # 9 offense, 29 defense
2010 - Bills # 28 offense, 28 defense
2011 - Texans #10 offense,4 defense,
2011 - Bills #14 offense, 30 defense
2012 - Texans #8 offense,10 defense
2012 - Bills #21 offense, 26 defense
2013 - Texans #31 offense, 24 defense
2013 - Bills #22 offense,20 defense
The Texans biggest issue outside of injuries are QB. Foster was injured basically the entire year as were half our defensive backs. It wasn't a talent issue(other than QB). The Texans were one of the favorites to go to the Super Bowl last year!
Just wait till week 4 in the reg season this year. We can save the shit talk till then.
