Five reasons for despair after the Texans clinched the AFC South on Saturday night:
- And I repeat: This is not a very good team. Yes, the Texans clinched the AFC South for the second consecutive season and have home-field advantage in the first round of the playoffs. But you have to hold your nose when watching this team.
- Tom Savage isn't the answer. At least, that has to be the conclusion after his first week as a starter. He didn't commit a turnover, a big plus in the Texans' defense-first system, but he didn't make many plays.
