Fans Prefer to Bash Texans Rather Than Praise Them

I'm a Titans fans and also Texans fan. I do agree people are quick to point out the negatives. Texans played well and i still like the idea of Wali vs Bush and especially Dayne who cant get through the hole. Mario will never live up to the media comparison which really sux, but i dont care about that. As long as he keeeps getting better and the defense does also. I do like Vince Young alot, but its cool.

 

I agree when the Texans are winning, I'm in the streets celebrating, shooting my gun in the air, and launching bottle rockets. No time for the BBS then.

 

Yesterdays game wasnt on in West Texas. I'm guessing it wasnt on in the Dallas area that knocks out alot of us from seeing the game.

Hard to get into a game that you can't see.

The first coupe games were on TV statewide I believe.

I do agree that people do like to complain more than praise but I think it not being on TV is a big reason why the game thread was rather empty this week.

Atleast for me

 

STFU...That was a hell of a throw. Put in a spot where only AJ could go up and get it. They get paid millions to make throws and catches like that and occasionally you have to throw into tough coverage. All the good qb's do at some point take a shot like that. Go suck your Dallas Cowgirls right breast and get off my board.

 

And there has only been 2 posts in the "[Official] Everything Mario Williams" since yesterday's game where he played decent as opposed to the hundreds of posts after the 1st couple of games where Mario sucked.

 

Maybe everybody is busy eatin a little crow...you know now that Mario is starting to improve.

Especially since Lundy and the running game showed up and Bush had an off-week.

 

What's new?

 

what took so damn long to get lundy in?

 

Misery loves company.

 

He's a rookie that looked so overwhelmed in the first two games... that the club traded Morency for Gado in a heartbeat, because Gado was a more proven back.

The running game wasn't the problem against Washington (the defense was), and it was tolerable when we played Miami.

It was the new level of "running futility" that the Texans showed against Dallas that gave Lundy a second chance... and he made the most of it.

 

i'm actaully not into football that much, i watch the ocational Texans game, but how can a team be "praised" with a record such as the one they have. personally, i like to praise local teams with winning records... like the Dynamo.

 

So at least youre admitting to being a BANDWAGON fan.

 

actually, i'm a big soccer fan, and the Dynamo are like the only thing we got close to real pro soccer, so i root for them regardless.. but it's a plus that they're a winning team, it's just that i don't care for football that much.

/as far as bandwagon fan, as soon as i found out that the houston football team was going to be called "Texans".. i sprained an ankle jumping out of the bandwagon so fast. lol

 

Same here

 

so how could you support the Dynamo regardless of whether they win or lose when you said in the earlier post "how can a team be "praised" with a record such as the one (the TExans) they have. personally, i like to praise local teams with winning records...like the Dynamo"? when they lose, you automatically jump off right?

you jumped off the bandwagon b/c they're named the Texans, yet I bet you didn't mind the name 1836's (yea, that is so much better than the Texans) as long as you had a soccer team.

 

yeah... i said i "root" for the dynamo, win or lose, but i won't "praise" them when they're sucking, any dynamo fan knows that the dynamo are the "kings of tied games"... i hate that cuz most of those tied games are wins till like the last minute, then the other team score. it's the dynamos fault when they score on them, most of the time it's cuz of silly mistakes. so while i'll still root for them, i won't praise them.

oh and the name, i don't like the Dynamo name but i think it's better than the Texans, at least they came up with something a little (not much) clever, but the Texans?? woah! and btw, when the dynamo did the "vote for the name" campaing, i voted 1836 and it sucked how they changed the name.

 

oh i just checked.. i said "praise" on one reply and "root" on another, ya i'm pretty much a dumbass! lol

 

We dont look so bad so far if you look at the division standings.

Indianapolis 3 W 0L
Jacksonville 0 W 2L
Houston 1W 1L
Tennessee 0W 1L

I looked at a power ranking and we were not even one of the worst five teams.
6 teams have worst record than our team.
We have the same ovberall record as the defending super bowl champ, Pittsburgh Steelers 2W 4L

Yeah I seen some of our games that we lost and the Texans do look bad, and did not seem to be close, but the season isn't over and we already matched the win total from last year. I think they showed lots of improvement from last year. Call me a Hometownist but I always root for the Home team. I was so pissed the Oilers moved to Tennessee, dispite the fact they followed me there when I went there for my first army duty station (in KY but close enuff). Yeah didnt care much for the name of the Texans but I call them my team. And no matter how the UH Cougars do, I root for them too.

Go Texans!, Rockets!, Astros!, Comets!, Cougars!, Aeros! and Dynamo!

 

when you see your team do something they haven't done most of the year, which is play a game for 60 minutes and force turnovers, it's not hard to "praise" them. actually it's not praise, i think it's more of acknowledgement. give them credit for what they did. like i said before, no one thinks the Texans are turning the corner that they'd compete for a P/O spot. if we see some improvement from the previous weeks, it makes us happy. we "root" for them to win.

and you just proved my point about a "dumbass" (i never called you a dumbass, i was pointing out the irony of your statement) fan, based solely on a team's name. you're not a fan of the Texans just b/c they're named the Texans? but, you voted for the soccer team to be named 1836ers, which if not worse, is equally as "dumb".

 

All that crap is far too subjective to prove anything. A lot of people didn't think "1836" was dumb. Are they "dumbasses" because they don't share your tastes? See, neither of you are "right" about that--it's just too subjective.

For an example, we can argue over whether DC's hair looks ridiculously sissified and girlish, and that would be subjective--it's all about taste. But arguing about whether he's improved can be an objective discussion--one has only to look at the numbers.
