Fans Prefer to Bash Texans Rather Than Praise Them

It's a lot easier to bash something than it is to praise it.

Besides, about 80% of this BBS has in writing that they hate the Texans, think David Carr sucks, and think we would be undefeated right now if we had drafted Bush or Young.

So they're just looking to cover their asses.

 

I would say for my take is ...

The Texans need to establish some consistency. Yesterday's win was a good, quality win. Whether I like J-Ville or not they're a pretty tough team. They're banged up and what not but the Texans took the game to them from what I saw with the highlights and reading the Chronicle this morning.

Also, first game that the Texans played 60 solid minutes of football together. That helps. I think most people on here want to see the Texans do good and win but alot of us also up until yesterday saw a team that was not competing competently as an NFL team.

Lets see the Texans take at least 2 of the next 3 games on the road and then we'll know a little better about how much they will improve this year.

For the record, I said in an earlier post that the Texans will get better and we needed to give to midseason which would be two weeks from now vs the Giants. Kuby is going to make a difference just give him a little slack. We may have started to see this team come close to turning the corner but not turning the corner yet IMO.

Bottom line, way to get a win you absolutely needed to get for many reasons, Texans. Good job. Now lets build on it!

 

How else are we supposed to show our loved ones that we really do care? More beatings mean more love.

In all honesty, this however crazy it may seem to be, seems to be the new M.O. to getting big plays down the field for Angry Dre. Just throw it up there and let AJ catch it. When you're 6-3 you can do that especially with his athleticism.

 

True, True...I guess we like to vent our frustrations more than praises...Then we try to argue with each other to see who can talk crap the best...

 

Yeah, I agree. You're supposed to make those type of throws to the more talented and taller receivers in the league like T. Owens and Moss. I would like to see the Texans go with at least one jump ball to AJ per game. If it gets picked then so be it, but I'll take my chances with Andre winning the battle.

 

I've bashed the Texans myself even though their my team. Yesterday was a hell of a game and I hope that as Kubiak and Rick Smith continue to build the team and we'll continue to see more games like this from the team in the future.

 

they still suck

 

Yes, they do. That said, yesterday was encouraging. You have to start *somewhere* if you're going to emerge from your sucktitude.

 

Personally I do not mind bashing the Texans because I am not really a fan of them. The only team I really care if they beat is dallas.

Spoiler

GO BRONCOS!!!

 

i can agree with that, im a titans fan and just have never been able to get into the texans, all the losses havent helped!

 

If your interest in teams is determined by losses... how are u still a Titans fan?

Seriously, though, why would anybody be a Texans fan, unless they were from Houston, loved the NFL, and supported the home-teams regardless? I don't see some guy in Arkansas or Nebraska who's looking to follow a team, getting enamored by Carr getting sacked every other play from 2002-2005.

For those sticking it out... the success tastes much sweeter once you've tasted the scum of sucktitude.

yep. like i once said, you can't fully appreciate Clutch City unless you've experienced Choke City.

 

Reggie is top ten in the league in receptions, and also returned a punt to win the game..

There is no comparison.

 

Yeah Reggie is top 10 in receptions but what has he done with those receptions compared to the others in the top 10 in receptions?

Translation: They have thrown to him a lot and the "gamebreaker" hasn't done much with his opportunities.

Anaylsis: He sucks at running the ball so they have to throw to him a lot to give him a chance to make an impact.

JGreen excuse in 3, 2, 1.....

 

After the way the Texans botched the draft, they deserve to be bashed. Nuff said.

 

quit hatin', fish.

 

Check back in two or three years. One side or the other will be eating crow, or perhaps it will be rather anticlimactic.

At any rate, it's ridiculously early to say, "they botched the draft" unless one is utter closed-minded on the "take the best player available" maxim. If that's the case, then the top three teams probably will *all* have "botched it" once we have the luxury of hindsight.

We didn't a WR. They drafted according to need, and they drafted for the long-term rather than the short term. We shall see if it works or if it backfires in their faces and is an embarrassment to the franchise for years to come. But, it's way too freaking early to tell right now.
