    That the Texans didn't throw in the towel and leave the stadium or turn off the TV when it got really ugly. I can honestly say I never stop watching a game, no matter how bad it is, and keep the hope that somehow we can fix our mistakes and play with the potential we show at times. Booing the QB or the team does nothing good for their confidence, and sickens me when you hear it on National TV.

    I say support them or go home. You who signed out and left missed a great comeback!

    John McClain puzzles me with his grading of players and the team. How do you give A's to some, yet grade Lamar Miller with the only "C" when he ran for 149 yards? That's a joke John! Your grading of the team is not credible to me any more.

    We are Texans!

    The only "C" was for Osweiler. He gave Miller an "A".

    Stop it with the blame the fans bs. People throw down hundreds (and possibly thousands) to go to theses games. They deserve every right to boo when the product on field is awful.

    Good for you. The ones who wanted to go home went home. The ones who stayed got to enjoy the comeback that should never have been a comeback in the first place. Everybody wins. \_(ツ)_/

    These guys are pros, not little children. A little booing shouldn't effect their performance. If a regular person gets criticized at work and sucks harder. They usually get fired.

    I see people at Rockets games who start yelling at people who go home early. You don't know what those people's lives are like and what their schedules are. They could have kids to put to sleep, an early start, whatever. They paid for their tickets they can do what they want with them. No need to accost anyone.

    The difference between the Texans and their fans is that they are paid millions to produce. Where we pay hundreds to boo! or clap,clap.

    The fans have sold out every game even though the team has sucked most years.

    Stupid. I watched the whole game too, but only because real life didn't get in the way - my daughter was asleep and I have today off of work (have some vacation days to burn). If either of those weren't happening I'd have bailed early on. If anyone is to be shamed, it's those who value sitting on a couch to watch a mediocre team get a mediocre win over a bad team over taking care of their family or themselves.

    OP, people who spend their hard earned money to pay for tickets and go to games have a right to come when they want and do the same when it comes to leaving. It's their prerogative if they stand or sit, boo or cheer. And it's absolutely their prerogative to leave a piss poor performance like last night's a little early and prepare to go back to work on Monday and earn the money that they use to buy tickets and sell out games week after week.

    If you left early, then you missed the comeback. If you turned off the TV early, then you missed the comeback. It is what it is. But, if you have a problem with what someone else chose to do with their time at 11:00 PM on a Sunday night, then you should probably be more concerned with getting a life of your own.

    down 14 points with less than 3 minutes left and the record for teams coming back from situations like that (according to a graphic i saw last night) is 1-96 over the past 2-3 seasons. yea i'd say the fans were well within logic to leave.

    I don't mind the real fans booing, the QB deserved it. What I don't like is the segment of negative nancys who want to be right, belittling the victory. The colts will always be tough even with 60 year hasselbeck taking craps in his pants between huddles or Dan orlovsky threading the needle to give the colts a victory. They have to keep improving but it's ok to like the win.

    Just look at them, man. I'd leave too. Normal human beings don't want to be around this stuff.

    Andrew Luck is 5-0 against us..now 5-1... but yea this victory meant nothing :rolleyes:

    So what if they had a weak defense.. The fact is, it was Andrew Luck, who always beats us, it was Primetime - who always beats us, and it required TWO 50+ yard comeback drives with an offense that has been struggling. Texans overcame a LOT last night and I actually thought it was a good win.

    The most annoying thing today is the fans that feel like their definition of being a fan is the only one.

    If Houston fans were leaving early during the prime Olajuwon years along with during game 5 of the NLCS or games 3/4 of the World Series... they most certainly were going to leave early yesterday.

    Luck has now lost two games against the Texans, not one.


    Sorry to be that guy.

    Funny, this has pretty much been the definition of the franchise since its inception.

    Well we won the game, and Brock, although the first 3 1/2 quarters was bad, really rocked it at the end an led those drives. Therefore, the forum needed to act quickly to find something to complain about. Since you can only say "we should have won that game by more" so many times, people have decided to argue what type of fan is best.

    *Here is the only type of fan according to me:
    *Knows the players by name and number... even the linemen.
    *Tries to make it to games they can afford (to be honest I would have stayed all game simply because I spent the money already)
    *When not going to the game, finds a bar that friends want to go to, get there obnoxiously early to secure a large spot, and start drinking.
    *Is position 2,483 on the waitlist for season tickets.
