The difference between the Texans and so many of their fans is....

I mean, no one is disputing the right of the fan to leave. You can do whatever you want, the question is what you SHOULD do. I personally find it kind of a crappy thing to do. I understand if you've got real life things going on, but I do think that football is one of the only sports where the crowd can meaningfully affect the game with noise. I'm not saying the people who left are terrible, but it's definitely worth some side eye.

 

Mclain was on the radio saying that is not what he turned in. It was flipped.

 

It was apparently fixed between your original post and the time I read through the slideshow.

 

Even the Chronicle just does everything opposite of McClian.

Usually it works

 

Here is an example of the Texans and their fans being similar...

 

I stuck it out during the pats game. Gave up on the Vikings game though, sometimes this **** takes years off my life and I have to walk away. I would have no doubt walked away but I stayed because of that Lamar Miller move. I was about to turn off the rockets game but then t jones hit that three, then j smoove, then Brewer, then Ariza. Lol we didn't win the chip but holy hell we have had some pretty good moments

 

This thread is like a screen pass on 3rd and 18.

 

Feels more like a 2nd down Miller run up the middle.

 

Even if it was 4th and 30...



First down!

 

I don't necessarily have a problem with booing. I did have a problem with the fans who chose to cheer when Schaub got injured, but I hope most felt that way. Fans pay a lot of money to see their team play. It's not like the other teams were just playing that much better than us. We just make stupid calls and Osweiller can't seem to hit the broadside of a barn. When you spend that kind of money on a guy and he performs so poorly on a consistent basis, you're gonna hear it from the fans.

I'm more upset with people who leave games early that are still theoretically winnable. I joke with my dad about having to take two cars to Rockets games because I refuse to leave early or get there after tip off and he likes to beat traffic. But if we're getting demolished and have zero chance to come back and win (ie 4th quarter), than I think it's okay to leave. If the team wants a full stadium, play harder for a full game.

One last thing...that national anthem. Did anyone else get teary? I love a good anthem.

 

The only issue I have is anyone saying they deserved to be walked out on. That's just lying to try and win an argument because ST's and Defense did not deserve to be walked out on. They were fighting like hell to keep us in it. Sure the Offense did but so did Denver's Offense last year. Their Offense at times including Manning was awful. I didn't see folks walk out on the eventual Super Bowl champs because the Offense was bad. They did boo Manning and Brock a few times however.
