Interesting

I know Dallas Cowboys fans laugh at the Houston Texans and how terrible they are and how stupid of a draft pick Mario Williams was and on and on and on...

...but I prefer to compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges. The Cowboys are in their 48th season in the NFL, while the Texans are in their sixth.

Here are the Cowboys first six seasons in the NFL:

1960: 0-11-1
1961: 4-9-1
1962: 5-8-1
1963: 4-10
1964: 5-8-1
1965: 7-7 (made the playoffs for the first time)
Total: 25-53-4 (.329)

Here are the Texans' first six seasons in the NFL:

2002: 4-12
2003: 5-11
2004: 7-9
2005: 2-14
2006: 6-10
2007: 6-7
Total: 30-63 (.323)

Funny thing is, if the Texans win this week, they will have a nearly identical record as the Cowboys through their first six seasons. The Cowboys did not go to the Super Bowl until their 11th season and did not win one until their 13th, so the Texans are on the clock for the next five years.
