Before the season started the guys from 610 sports radio predicted the Texans going 9-7 / 10-6. LOL! I remember listening to them saying to myself they will win no more than 5 games this year. LOL! Proof that just because you have your own show doesnt mean you know everything about sports. LOL! Crazy, I am totally not surprised by how garbage our football team is. Preseason told the story before any of the past 5 weeks had been written. Might as well start preparing for next year and let the youger guys "who arent supposed to make plays" try their hand. At least we will get more heart out of them. Stick a fork in us Torro, we are done!
The Chron waited 45 games to pronounce the Astros dead.....what is taking them so long with the Texans?
the Chron doesn't pay $7 million a year for the broadcast rights of the Astros. that being said I went on air and said 5-11 at best. I even posted on this board that I would change my sig to something about me now knowing anything about NFL football if the Texans won more than 3. All of the jocks felt good going into the season. They were full of hope as were a lot of people here in clutch. Theyer are no longer singing those praises. I especially point to Matt Jackson who has been adamant about the suckiness of the Texans.
LOL. I heard the same thing and even got into an argument with my friend riding in the truck with me at the time. Then on one of the shows, not sure which guy it was, but it was before the broncos/texans pre season games and he said that the texans would definitely be better than the broncos this year because they broncos did nothing in the offseason to improve their team and that they were in a decline. LMAO!
John and Lance when they make their predictions OBVIOUSLY do so in a "tongue and cheek" manner. They are like "Oh, we'll beat the Colts at home by 20... yada yada yada." They aren't serious, and if you think they were you need to get your sarcasm meter checked.
Nice Charlie C and Dom C should be thankful for the Stros and Rockets otherwise they did be out of work this morning if they were based in say KC or Tampa.
they were clowning the broncos for picking up those D-linemen from Cleveland that were busts. Hey 610, we have our own busts to clown. Actually, I can't blame those guys for thinking the team was going to improve. Its like they maxed out last season.
No he is implying that Chron pays 7 mil to broadcast the Texans. 740 broadcast the Astros. I am pretty confused.
regardless of who pays who....the texans organization shouldn't be paying anyone on that team, coaches included....they don't deserve a dime. texans final record: 1-15.
Well, since we'd improved our record every year we've been in the league, and we filled our biggest hole with a defensive lineman, it wasn't that outrageous of a prediction. You just never know how a season is going to turn out though (ex: Timberwolves, Sonics). But I agree that we are done. It's been nothing but a terrible season and the only good thing that will come out of it is a top 3 pick in the draft.
Dude B.S. this was not one of their "sarcastic" swings. Everyone was making predictions and they didnt predict we would beat the colts but they did predict we would beat the Jags and Titans. And that D.Carr would take the next step and all that jazz. They made a bet with one guy who said he predicted the Texans would not win more than five games. They jumped all over him he said he would take them to any Steakhouse if they won more than 5 games. They started suggesting Vic and Anthony's etc.. etc.. Stop jocking dude, they were totally wrong on this one. Not that they are supposed to be perfect, just sometimes they make it seem like they know everything IE: Rome style.
I predicted 9 or 10 wins, too, and I was totally serious. .... They can still go 9-3 the rest of the way... eh, eh?
I was being sarcastic. We pay $7 million a year to own the NFL broadcast rights for the Houston Texans. The chronicle is an objective observer with no direct vested interest in the success or failure of a team. It's different with us. We are directly tied to the success or failure of the team. If they come out of the gates 0-9 people lose interest and our 7 milly becomes a bad investment. Our guys are more inclined to hold on to hope that the team will turn it around. The Chron, after 45 games, felt the season was hopeless. Our guys don't think that (at least publicly)
