i was at the game! it was great, everyone was like about to explode withjoy when mario got that fumble recovery.
Exactly. You can always say, and prove, that you love your team because they are your team. Your not a "fan" that just likes whatever team is winning that year. Be proud of your team; win or lose. Be proud your not a bandwagon fan.
Great win for the Texans, good to see the guys bounce back after that awful performance last week. The offense was very efficient, and I would like to officially welcome the TEXANS RUNNING GAME!! Lundy's speed was a breath of fresh air, Gado had a solid game as well. The defense also looked very good today, good to see some TOs no matter how they come. We'll play the Titans twice, the Bills, Raiders, and the Jaguars once again in the next 7 weeks...so hopefully we can capitalize on our easier schedule.
I don't want the Texans organization to think the fans are ok that they are 2-4 and beat a Jacksonville team at home that played awful. The Texans organization has screwed us all as fans, and 1 win doesn't cure anything with me. The team is still 2-4, so no, i'm not happy. I support the team, win or lose, but forgive me that i'm not jumping for joy over a 2-4 football team.
So WHAT can the Texans do to make you happy at this point? All they can do is play the team scheduled each week and try to score one more point than they give up.
Who asked you to jump for joy? Why do you need to be cured? Are you bitter? Over a game?? It's a win. A win over a team that had some key injuries and didn't play well. But they played OK. They have a long way to go. I predicted four wins. We'll see.
That's ok...I went to the game yesterday and let everyone around me know that I AM happy with this football team. Even when they lose, I am happy that we HAVE a football team. But, then again you may have a point. In fact, maybe the Texans organization is this corporate machine that's sole intent is to bleed Houston and its good citizens dry of all their money and emotion...only to pick up and leave after say, 10 years of raking us all over the coals. It could be a conspiracy, I tell you. YES! THEY ARE SCREWING US! We should file a class action suit against them for this! Those bastards drafted Jason Babin for Christ's sakes!
ok, this is not meant to be a negative post but more of an observation. i know Carr had great numbers (i'm a Carr fan so hear me out), but did anyone notice he did a lot of dumping off on Sunday? I only remember 2 passes that went for more than 10 yards BEFORE YAC, the rollout to Walker and the TD to AJ. other than that, it was 5 yard slants and dumpoffs. i guess what i'm trying to say is I would like to see more timing patterns and curls being thrown by Carr.
dude, no one is so delusional to think we've actually turned the corner. it was a freakin' win against a team that is clearly better than us. we're just enjoying the moment. we get that the Texans screwed you out of Reggie Bush. go cry a river somewhere else about it. no one thinks all of our problems have been solved and no one thinks we're gonna have a winning season this year. we just want them to compete and excuse for enjoying the times when we do.
Congratulations, jgreen91, you are the first winner of the coveted clutchfans award... Coming from the ultimate clutchfans pessimist, this is truely an honor. jgreen, you are a model and an inspiration to all pessimsts. All I ask is that you treat your pessimist of the week award with the respect it deserves.
compucomp, I guess I want his answers. I want to let jgreen91 know I won't back down from being a fan, and whether they lose or win, the TEXANS are still my team. I don't see you as being negative at all. I want the long bomb too, but there are some reasons why Carr didn't throw it. If you get a chance to watch the game again, check out the Jags' coverage. THey knew we were going "pass" the entire game, and put TWO safeties back in the area. When you replay Carr's one interception called back for an illegal hands to the face penalty, you can see the corner was on AJ and so was the FS. The ONE touchdown to AJ was also into double coverage. What am I saying with all this? Koubiak may have seen the coverage, and may have instructed DC to keep dumping it short, since the corners were expecting pass all the time and giving a big cushion. The running game helped, too.
Over the years, Carr most often goes off the rails when he tries to hit home runs. Under Capers, he repeatedly tried to make hero plays that backfired. Kubiak is forcing him to play better percentages. It's the right thing to do, especially if we're nursing a lead or holding on in a close game. Evan
cool, i guess i wasn't as observant of hte game as you. i was starting to worry that he'd be regressing to his old self after the Cowboy's game. i guess it just gave me the impression that he was afraid to look downfield, especially when i thought the line was doing a good job of protecting him.
Yes, they're intentionally underthrowing on deep balls to take advantage of AJ's athleticism and height. As much as I hate to admit it, you take what the defense gives you or else you suffer bad consequences (mostly INT's). Some more success like this game will force defenses to adjust their game plan trying to give them a better opportunity to win but also potentially opening up opportunities downfield for us. A continued, consistent running game will help stretch out the defenses and force the safeties to play more honest and cheat less.
