What if the Houston Texans Never Existed

for there entire 22 yea history, the Houston Texans have never advanced past the divisional round in the playoffs. they haven't sniffed a super bowl trophy, don't have an MVP, and have no major accolades. so i mean, would this world really be all that different, if the houston texans were plucked out of history?

When the Texans hold up the Lombardi trophy this year I fully expect an apology video no shorter than 10 mins.

[@stormchaseref3628]

As a Texans fan, I have to agree. If you did the same exact thing, but with the Mariners from the MLB and their first 21 seasons, I'm pretty sure the same thing happened to where almost nothing changes if you delete them from existence. Even though they had that record breaking season of 116 wins, It was beyond our timeframe we are using. I have to hand it to you. Great analysis. Edit: Timeframe was too long.

[@Bled_x]

Here's a question for you... What would happen if you removed the Dallas Texans team from football history?

[@hydn.]

great question... probably not much. the real question - would you also be eliminating the Indianapolis Colts? At the end of the Dallas Texans last season, their players and assets were given to the new startup team, the Baltimore Colts. The Colts claim to have been an expansion team and started fresh in 1953. They don't recognize Dallas Texan history as their own, but most of their whole team year 1 was just the Dallas Texans from the year before. The ripple effect is always going...

[@calculator3609]

​@@hydn.Technically the Chiefs were the Dallas Texans

[@Bled_x]

@@hydn. In doing some research, removing the Dallas Texans from history, as if we Thanos snapped them into oblivion and they never existed, then there would no longer be a team for the Kansas City Chiefs to take over. That would alter multiple superbowl outcomes, remove several MVPs, and actually remove entire legendary players from the pool of players. For example Tony Gonzales, TE. If the Dallas Texans were never a thing, the Chiefs never become them. So legendary TE Tony Gonzales is also Thanos snapped out of football history. It continues and continues from there. Crazy to think about.

[@landonpatton7997]

While this is a great video and you got yourself a new subscriber. I feel like all the data isn't accounted for. Like draft picks. Case in point, are we sure the Panthers cardinals, and Colts are just as bad at that point this year picking 1st 2nd, and 3rd? The Colts lost the division on the last play of the season. Do they still do that with CJ Stroud?

[@hydn.]

yea like i said, players are just snapped out of existence for however long they were on the texans. so drafts still happen the same, the texans picks all just don’t enter the league until they play for another team, lol. it’s obviously clunky and not insanely realistic, but if i had to redo every pick of every draft… lol this would be a looooong video. i am glad you enjoyed though! thank you!!

The haters after the Texans win it all in '24

[@someperson3883]

4:36 The Lions made the NFC Championship last year. Should have been replaced by the Cowboys. The old divisions from 1999-2001 would have better to try to guess from. The division alignment would also change Super Bowl 53 due to the Saints and Rams meeting in the Divisional Round instead of NFC Championship. Also the Ravens weren’t an expansion team. The Buccaneers and Seahawks made the playoffs before the Texans.

[@JAGISDAGOAT]

Agreed

[@AidenPoche]

We’d have no sketch

[@GLITCHDGALAXY]

What 2023 would look like: AFC: Jaguars win the AFC South. The Dolphins instead play the Jaguars in the Wild Card with the Dolphins winning. The Chiefs instead play the Browns in the Wild Card with the Chiefs still winning. The Ravens play the Dolphins in the Divisional Round but the Ravens still win. No change. NFC: The Saints make the playoffs as a 7 seed, and the Packers miss the playoffs. The Saints play the Cowboys in the Wild Card, with the Cowboys winning. Both Divisional Round games are different, with the 49ers playing the Buccaneers and the Lions playing the Cowboys. The 49ers and Lions still end up winning. No change.

[@hydn.]

that’s awesome bro!! seems like you nailed it, this is exactly why i did for every year.

[@defreeze01]

Didnt the Cowboys beat the lions tho on that stupid call?

[@GLITCHDGALAXY]

@@defreeze01 Yes, that was in the regular season. I’m confident that in this scenario in the divisional round Detroit would get their revenge, and plus it’s the Cowboys in the divisional round.

Before I get into this video, I just need Houston to exist so when Dallas is having a bad years, I can tell their fans they aren't even the best team in Texas.

[@HDRookie]

The 2015 Bengals probably would've beat the Chiefs by 3 TDs even with their backup QB, let's be real here 😶 And to be fair, Houston not being in changes the draft completely. The Colts would have CJ Stroud if you just went back 1 calendar year now, for instance. Bet every Super Bowl is actually changed!
