This is what we get...Houston is such a freaking soft a$$ media market and our fan base are too bandwagon-y...Matt Jackson was on the air last week about a question posed by one media member asking a Texans player about the team ruining Christmas of fans in the city of Houston. I wish we get more people ripping our team. We get national spotlight and we stink up the joint. Think about it. We had 3 primetime games this season, and all we have to show is barely beating Chicago??? and getting blown out in the other two games... Our media is way to soft, our fans are too bandwagon like, and our teams find ways to choke on the biggest stage and disrespect our city. Forget Cleveland, Houston deserves the title of Heartbreak/choke city. Having 3 major league sports teams and only the Rockets have delivered on titles that was almost 20 years ago to the date. What about the Astros, Oilers/Texans. The city, this state is known for Football and Baseball, but we have nothing to show for it. Im so mad, bc i know we are gonna be playing a hot Cincy team next week and we most likely are gonna be one and done...and I cant do anything about it.
THANK YOU! And I repeat for the umpteenth time on this board, there are no bandwagon fans on this board, they wouldn't be posting. They jumped ship eight years ago.
@solid, max Im just mad guys...i wish our media would rip players and coaching...bc thats what most of us are feeling right about now...to tear a new one into our team...Feel like buying an page Ad on the Houston Chronicle("Please dont choke again, Houston pro-sports teams" sincerely passionate Houston Sports fans #Texans #Rockets #Astros)
Know how you feel. I am trying to think back and I know the Oilers had some bad teams, but I just can't remember this level of "non competitiveness." I remember incompetence but I always respected teams that fought hard even though they were undermanned. The Texans just seem to quit. Huge turn off for fans.
Just read a tweet quoting Duane Brown as saying the knew it was a big game but the intensity just wasn't there. That's the kind of statement that makes me question why I give a damn about pro sports at all.
You're forgetting a certain university just south of Downtown Houston. How many times does the Lorenzo Charles/Jimmy V highlight get replayed? UH has come close to playing in major bowls and winning national titles in football but always have one game that screws the pooch.
No doubt. But our history of futility in pro sports in Houston is matched really only by a few other cities. I'd like it to be rainbows occasionally. No real rainbows to point at in Houston's NFL history.
