Congratulations on predicting long-term injuries to Andre Johnson, Steve McKinney, Jacoby Jones and Ahman Green. Your psychic abilities are admirable.
I guess my point is...what is your point? Are you getting satisfaction out of some possibly being wrong? What the hell is the point of being a fan if you can't be optimistic after a good start?
our ability to compete for a playoff spot was tenuous without the injuries. we are just not good enough yet to win when we have key injuries. the great teams find a way to hold the fort down. we are obviously not a great team yet.
The point is that they are not a playoff caliber team THIS year. An offseason of key free agent signings and draft picks should get the job done for next season. In the meantime, Texans fans, including myself, should be happy and satisfied that they have turned the corner and are no longer doormats in the NFL.
That's what most of us have been saying all year long. Hello, and welcome to the majority! That's a bit optimistic. But, I hope so, too. I agree! Although I'm frustrated that by all accounts they certainly looked like doormats yesterday.
I remember after we beat the Chiefs and all of the posters were going crazy about the Texans, the Private told posters to calm down, that all it took was an injury to a key player and the team would be averaged again because of their lack of depth. Everyone, and I mean everyone, started talking smack to him that he didn't know sh*t. Posters here were saying the Texans would have a 10 - 6 or 11 - 5 record. I don't remember if it was you msn that also was talking trash to private. All I remember is that he never said the Texans sucked or anything, only that they were not a playoff team this year.
Can you link us, please? I highly doubt he gave the condition of "an injury to a key player" and if he did, why? There are plenty of teams every year who go without significant injuries to their franchise player. It was not a predictable injury, and it's extremely questionable whether the Texans would be 3-3 if not for that completely unpredictable and unlucky injury.
I'm pretty sure I remember a post very much like that, although I don't know who made it. The replies were along the line of "every team would suck without its key player".
I for one, said 10-6 and thought we would miss the playoffs on the last week of the season due to a tiebreaker or something. Agreed. Still too many hole on both lines, and our secondary is average at best overall. Personally just want a winning season (9-7) at least.
I'd like nothing better than the Texans be the ones to knock those M-F'ers out of the playoffs. Juck Fagville! And you can quote me on that. What arrogance displayed by those f**kers! Even the Titans from last years game at Reliant were not near as high and mighty as these pricks! Come hell or highwater I'm gonna go to that J-Ville game and scream my head off at those arrogant f**kwads! I just wanna kill 'em, kill 'em all. Does that make me a bad person?
It doesn't make you a bad person per se but it does make you sound like an extremely sore loser. Your anger is misplaced - you should be mad at the team called Texans. If Jacksonville was arrogant on Sunday, they certainly earned the right in my book given the first class butt whupping they laid on the Texans. They both talked the talk AND walked the walk to quote Jimmy Johnson. As for arrogance: have you taken a good look at New England lately? Oh and what makes you think that by the second Jacksonville game, the Texans will even be in a position to do anything more that give a repeat of what transpired on Sunday? The trends simply aren't all that encouraging. They just don't have the horses yet to be consistently good and the roster still has to be purged of the last few players from the C&C Idiot Factory. It's a long road ahead.
i agree we got soundly beat, I just thought the way the Jags conducted their business was anything but businesslike. The Colts a classy team but, they hit us square in the mouth. The Jags want to be an elite team and to be considered as one of the best, so they bully you and yes, cheat when they can get away with it. Bottom line, our running game or lack of it is killing us. After days like this, wish we would have gotten AD A Peterson. Running game is a shambles and if Green goes down again we're screwed!
One moment, that block to get the Jags first TD was considered illegal and then after a conference was deemed legal. I thought blocking someone beyond the line of scrimmage before a pass was illegal. I may be wrong. The other point, that was NOT an interception. Davis came knee down, elbow down then rolls over and the Jag defender strips it away. Hello, should have been a dead ball. Possession good, Texans and retain possession. Anyway, bullsh*t call IMO. The first one completed turning the tide after Davis' gaffe in the endzone that would've given us a 10-0 lead. The last one, was putting the cherry on the Sundae to a brutal ending game. I'm not saying the Jags did not deserve the win, they flat whupped us with their game plan. We certainly did not help ourselves much at all. I'm saying they didn't need any help plus, their demeanor screamed they thought they were better than us and we did not belong. Look maybe some of this I'm just venting because a day later I was STILL pissed off at that game. That's why it's good the last game of the season is in OUR house!
Hmm, I see your point. Yes, they aren't a particularly "classy" team but I attribute that to the a-hole personalities of their coach and GM. This season Del Rio's butt is on the line so he's coaching from desperation using an "us against the world - nobody is on our side (boo hoo hoo!) - we don't get no respect" gimmick to save his job. Plus I suppose that Jacksonville got fed up with hearing how they got swept last year by the Texans. I know I heard it a lot last week and I live in the Dallas area. I also noticed a certain amount of smugness around here with the name calling (Jfags) and put downs of their city and stadium and it was all in good fun I suppose. But Sunday, Jacksonville simply lined up and pimp-slapped the Texans, their coaches and their fans so you have to give them their due (this time). Sure, they may be classless in victory but that's something that seems to be more the norm than the exception nowadays. Good sportsmanship is mostly a thing of the past (you gotta remember that I do live in Dallas). If the Texans don't like how it felt to be physically humiliated, then it's up to them to come out and do something about it on the field.
Agreed. The Texans didn't match their intensity, didn't play with any real fire or purpose and since our running game sucks, Schaub is doing his best but the O is bogging down in the red zone. Agreed. good sportmanship is a fleeting thing! Agreed. The Texans have to answer when they're being disrespected like they obviously were by the Jags. Naw, the Juck F-Ville is a spoonerism like Ruck Fice, a notorious line when UH plays Rice. Just a way for me to vent my fury. Yes, for the record I am angrier at the Texans for not forcing J-Ville to recognize us as a legitimate opponent and we did nothing to shut 'em up! Like I said, my wish is for us to be in position to knock them out of the playoffs in our final game of the season at power station. We need to make them TEXAN-struck and we need to have the crowd electrified with intensity and attitude. Plus, we need our team to play with some ... I hope Studdard can help our O line get more intense and a better push off the line. We need something, anything ...
Yeah, it should have been called holding IMO. That must have been the officiating team from that new movie The Comebacks. I'm with you here but the refs didn't consult their seeing eye dogs so we got the call that we got. Actually, it should have at least been 14-0 if not 21-0. We put Jacksonville in a 14 or 21 point hole and then let's see them try to play smash mouth football. That failure to score points when they had the chance PLUS Kubiak & Co getting caught flat-footed by that onside kick was the difference in the game to me because it allowed the Jaguars to come out and dictate the game because they were ahead. The folks who are the angriest are those who felt that this was a playoff team. Far from it. A lot of that was based on their beating Atlanta & Jville twice again. Very few folks here thought much of Jacksonville at the beginning of the season. Same thing for Tennessee. In fact, depending on what happens with Tennessee (who is also rebuilding), the Texans could very well finish last in the division again. Come Sunday you can expect the Titans to line up and stuff the ball down the throats of the Texans and it will be up to the Texans to do something about it.
Agreed. The refs weren't the reason we lost the game but ARE the reason the game got out of hand and became a burial! The Texans have to do a better job of taking care of their business and playing like men when they're obviously being punk'd. Maybe the hometown calls will even out when they come here. I just want revenge. I want someone to knock that punk ass grin off Jones-Drew and give them a taste of their own medicine.
You could argue the refs are cheating, but I don't see how that's the Jags cheating. Doesn't every team hold or commit other penalties hoping they can get away with them?
