    Nah, it's mostly the QB and coach... unless you mean the owner. You might also mean the OC too.

    I never posted this, but it did seem more for Yates.

    No these are the same players that went 11-1 last season. Jonthan Joseph, Antonio Smith, and Mercilus are all good players as well. Our offense is stacked at everywhere but QB. Though the line could be better.

    It doesn't take much in this league to go from great to trash, and vice versa. The Chiefs went 2-14 last year and look at them now.

    Want to know what is "disrespectful"?

    Running the same exact plays causing a pick-6 every god damn game. Then after the game selling the fans bull**** about how it will get better even though the head coach knows he isn't going to change a damn thing until the owner makes him.

    Today is further evidence the players have checked out. Although they are professionals, I don't blame them. They will never admit it, but they are consistently out coached and out prepared by the other team.

    Ok, so what's the excuse for blowing 30 point playoff leads and allowing a 60' buzzer beating alley oop?

    Fans cheering injuries is nothing new.

    This whole thing about cheering for a change is still classless when you consider the context. If you are cheering for a change then cheer when Yates come out not when Schaub is down and injured.

    Also a lot of y'all just sound whiny and entitled regarding getting on the players for standing up for Schaub. Yes they are in the entertainment and service industry but they don't owe the fans anything beyond doing their jobs. Just because you are in the service industry doesn't mean you have to just take boorish behavior on the part of customers. Consider if one of your friends and coworkers got hurt on the job and customers were cheering? Would you just sit back and keep quiet?

    That doesn't negate the fact. Regardless of how much a player gets paid you don't cheer an injury.

    I think a line was crossed when fans cheered when Schaub was injured. Its one thing to be passionate about you favorite team and its another to be low class. I been wanting the Texans to changes HC and QB for a while now no doubt, but I just can't get with people cheering that harm has been done to a player under any circumstance. I love sports but sometimes people can take it waaaay too seriously to the point where they are cheering injuries. This is a low point in Texans history and I blame Bob McNair for allowing it to get to this volatile point.

    All these posters on their high horse probably slow down and stare at every accident on road.

    You are all classless for wanting to be entertained.

    So that means they shouldn't stick up for their friends and coworkers? So if one of your friends who hasn't done a good job lately, gets hurt and customers cheer you're not going to do anything? Or are you just going to say "Hey the customers just want to be entertained"

    I certainly don't cheer when I see an accident.

    This isnt about F*****g entertainment it is about winning, whether the players like it or not their jerseys say HOUSTON and i as a Houstonian have a right to say F*** them for turning on the people who supported them when we were what the jaguars are now. I for one am glad that the fanbase is pissed off it shows we are not happy with being mediocre and want to win and be respected as a football city.

    Not speaking on player comments, just saying they're not doing their job.

    Bad play?

    Who cares if it is nothing new? That doesn't make it right.

    Maybe because it's actual life and death.

    And you are entertained.

    The "nothing new" comment discredits your karma theory. So did the Buffalo and UH references. Unless you think "bad play" is also the fans' fault.

    Yep, the Bills have a long history of success I'm sure.

    Either way, there is still no excuse for cheering injuries.

    That is quite an assumption.

    Have you considered that people slow down for an accident for more reasons than entertainment? For example an accident is a safety issue so people slow down. Also if cars in front of you are slowing down you are going to slow down. Also a lot of people slow down out of concern.

    That in your mind people only slow down for an accident is for entertainment says much more about you than it does anyone else.

    Wait, did Rockets fans cheer when Yao or T-Mac went down? Did Texans fans cheer when Cushing went down?
