    You know what's interesting... the Texans now have as many non-losing seasons (7) as losing seasons. And since 2009, the ratio is 5:2. And they're 4-2 this season.

    I can understand some of the frustrations - but to say they've "sucked most years" simply isn't true.

    True, but two years were 8-8. One was good for last in the division and the other third in the division.

    Depends on how you define "suck" I guess.

    There have been only 5 winning seasons (not including this year yet) in 15 years.

    I'm aware of that; I didn't randomly make the conditions "non-losing" seasons...

    Yes; but all five of those years have happened since 2009. And this was an expansion team, in which early losing was understood/expected.

    I don't think they should hang a banner, by any means - but I think "sucks" is way too harsh and completely wrong for this team the past 7 seasons. Disappointing? Sure. Wasted opportunities? Yes. Unlucky? Yep. But not sucks.

    Browns have had 2 in the same time, I actually wonder what their forum is like. Or have they just given up completely by now?

    We're in something like 21,500th position for season tickets...

    They just got Moneyball Jonah Hill to be their GM, so there's at least some reason to be hopeful for them

    Gotta get up early on Monday to work those jobs to pay for the tickets. No one would have left had it been a noon game. Let it go

    When the team ownership shows as much passion/desire for winning as the fanbase does, then you can complain about the fans.

    Speaking of arguments that should just be dropped, Was it necessary for the sideline reporter to let us know that she "talked with some of the team, and Dwayne Allen kneeling was just a prayer he always does after the anthem and not a protest".... Am I being an ***hole? or did anyone else not really care for the update?

    I really have not cared about this anthem controversy since the beginning. I leave it to the facebook wall warriors

    I thought it was just as irrelevant as ESPN having an update on Sunday's for who's kneeling. What's the point of that other than to fan the flames?

    Oh wait...I think I just answered my own question...

    I didn't realize how accurate the opening scene of the first episode of south park was. All the fans at a championship 4th grade volleyball game. Announcers wondering who is going to sit during the anthem. Then after the anthem was done and the game started, the entire crowd got up and left lol.

    Trumpanzee McNair probably threatened to cut anyone who kneeled.

    oh man, I completely forgot about the anthem, and how up to the 4th quarter it was the best part of the game. The singer looked liked a wilder blondanna kendrick. 10/10 would hit.

    It was immediately after Carrie Underwood's "Sunday Night Football" song. It was the most intensely I watched the tv all night. I might even start watching the Voice because of her.

    The fact that the cameramen focus on players protesting shows there is a media agenda. I say do them like an idiot that runs out on to the field look away.

    Fans can leave any damn time they want. It's not like this is your kid's soccer game or something.
