I Keep Forgetting We're Not in First Place Anymore

Its the NFL. Things turn around both ways pretty fast.

Its clear the Texans are what their record says. Bad offense, bad defense, bad special teams. Atlanta has a similar problem/syndrome... except they already have their "young core" that can't really be replaced.

Kansas City is benefitting from the misfortune... and could very well sneak into the Super Bowl, if they handle their games with Denver.

 

My cousin asked me yesterday if I was pissed about the Texans loss this weekend. I told him, "No. I quit being pissed about them after they lost their 5th in a row." I'm just watching as a fan of the team and a fan of football, but there's no emotion left. After what the Astros have become and what the Texans are currently doing, I just don't feel much like getting emotionally invested in my teams right now. I will keep watching and rooting, but they aren't going to ruin my day or week any more.

 

I agree with you completely now but would have thought differently during the preseason. I think that this season has just been the ultimate "if something can go wrong it will" season. Schaub decided to have the worst year ever, Foster has been non-existent, OD is out along with Manning, Cushing, and our offensive line might as well just move out of the way to let the defense through (I don't even want to think about the Reed signing). We have also seen the reemergence of the Texans that only play half of a game which is quite possibly the most frustrating aspect about them!

I do think that our defense is good. The only thing with them is that they have to get turnovers. It does not matter how good a defense is if they cannot force turnovers.

With all of that being said, I am ok with this year because I think we can bounce back quickly. Keenum has shown that he can handle himself and assuming that he does not regress, I look forward to him doing well. I think that Kubiak should have been gone already but I am afraid that he might not go now because it might look bad to fire a coach that had a stroke. Hopefully we use the draft well and can have a healthy season next year. We need an offensive lineman and a pass rusher more than anything. I would also be ok with joining the new fad of getting an athletic TE that can really stretch the field.

Being a lifelong Houston sports fan, I will continue to support my crappy teams and just wait until next year!

 

They're 5-5 now yet still somehow still pretty proud of it..... "1st place in the division, it's all that matters!" yeah that's saying a lot.

Idiots.

 

I saw the title and was about to post the same song!!! Damn you!!!
Just remember:

we should be 5-4
we should be 0-9
but there we are at 2-7.

hey guys, if we win 2 games in a row again, I will cut my long hair and vine it!



sad season indeed.

 

[checks NFL standings, records]
Nope.

[checks again]
NOPE.

Can you PLEASE check your facts before you post?

 

Preseason - We're winning the Superbowl! (Most pundits agree)
First couple of games - We're going to be in the Superbowl!
Next - AFC Champs!
Then - AFC South Champs!
After - Playoffs!
A little later - Playoffs?
Last week - For pride, or something.
Arizona - "We're winning to put a smile on Coach K's face." (Swatt)

 

Terrible coaching and leadership from the top of the organization down.... (McNair, Smith, Kubiak, Wade)
Injuries to key players....... (Cushing, Foster, Tate, Daniels, Manning)
Young players not developing....... (Mercilus, Bullock, Posey, Harris)
Veterans ****ting the bed.... (Shaub, Reed)

All adds up to a 2-7 team that really should be 1-8.

 

Repped

 

Bingo, bingo, bingo.

 

So it's only "right now"? Got it.

When they start winning again, you'll get back ON the bandwagon, right? Cool.

 

most pundits did certainly not agree the Texans were going to win the Super Bowl this year.

 

Yeah, they are still pretty arrogant in spite of the total butt-kicking NO gave them on Sunday night. To hear Jerry talk on his radio show this morning: "we've got them where they want us!". The bottom may have completely fallen out of the Texans' bandwagon this season but at least we can all be thankful that Uncle Bob isn't playing the role of GM. And as long as JJ keeps pretending that he knows what he is doing, the Cows are doomed!

 

This season =

 

My only enjoyment now is watching Case play.

 

I love the Doobie Brothers.

 

I guess it's appropo also then for us texans fans,
