lol, in the original post you responded to i stated it(the field) needs to be addressed.. the history of athletes injuring themselves on the seems is there. im just saying that not every injury/non contact injury is due to the turf.. players do get hurt.. when demecos original tear occured i dont remember many people talking about the turf causing it..

If you poll all the players (including the Texans players) I bet they prefer the grass. Its not like they don't get a chance to practice on field-turf (they have it in the bubble), and its not like they don't play other games on the stuff.

Not if the players prefer playing on grass... and not if the Texans are still willing to pay more for the current system than the one-time (or no-cost) field-turf. And you'll see the same injuries (if not worse) on the fake stuff... except those will just be chalked up to "that's football".... when the reality is, mostly all the injuries that occur on turf are due to "football".
i prefer the field to not have creases and holes... maybe it's just me. but, "that's just football", right?
I prefer to go with the preference of the people who actually play there. They would have gone to it years ago if the players really wanted it.
apparently you don't pay attention to McNair's snail like pace of making change happen. no surprise because you are as big of a fanboy as we have here.
I apologize to everybody for feeding the troll. Not sure what a fanboy is, but I'm sure that's your goto insult whenever you're made to look like an idiot.
You so tough, Nick! A fanboy is not a bad thing, nor is it good. It simply means you are incapable of thinking for yourself. Not your fault... blame your education and parents.
If Chip is saying that... The field has a reputation around the league, and apparently not a good one.
Every football game I watch, I see people getting injured. Playing on all kinds of turf . I saw injuries today during the Texans game, but I don't think it was turf related. Injuries happen. Watch tonight's game between Baltimore and Pittsburg. I predict there will be injuries.
