    I remember being there at the Rosencopter game. The entire stadium was literally in complete disbelief that he could be THAT dumb to try and out-jump THREE Colts players. Watching that video is like thinking back to all the times you failed in life, and then realizing that without experiencing that, you wouldn't be able to appreciate where you are right now. I think the fact that we had to live through moments like that as a fanbase makes waking up today at 4-0 (and being the Super Bowl favorites) all the sweeter.

    I still felt like punching that moron in the face when they cut to his stupid mug in the video though. I guess some feelings never quite go away, no matter how long it's been. Haha.

    That was just one of MANY soul crushing turnarounds in the last ten years. The Texans mastered the ability to pluck defeat from the jaws of victory. They institutionalized the "sad sack" status. I have never really seen anything like it. They actually outdid the Oilers whose record for futility was unchallenged for years.
    BUT NOW
    It is a new day, it is our time, and there is no
    turning back

    The Texans must now crush their enemies
    hear the lamentations of their
    women
    and ground the NFL into
    powder

    I remember watching the Rosencopter. My heart literally dropped 3 inches - I don't think I've recovered.

    The city of Houston deserves a good season from one of our sports teams. Been so long since we've had something to chear for.

    If you want to double down, why don't you go to the official NFL website and see what they are calling this season. Hint, it ain't 2011 or 2013.

    :rolleyes:

    Petty arguments are so awesome. They mean we don't have a sucky POS team to argue about anymore. Now all our pent-up vitriol has to go at some other target. :grin:

    I followed the team right after they went 2-14. I don't know why I pick at a time where we were the worst team in the league.

    I guess I thought that means we can only get better after a horrible, horrible season.

    Watching David Carr working with Kubiak was horrendous. Carr couldn't do crap with a offensive mastermind.

    Did not know anything about Shaub when they brought him in. I thought we landed gold when they signed Ahman Green until he was on the sideline most of the time.

    I wasn't mad when they drafted Mario. I thought Steve Slaton was promising then he went full r****d and fumbled every carries.

    Freaking Frank Bush!!!! Everybody on this board got their torches and pitchfork ready when the season was over. What a wasted season......... Stupid BUSH

    I tried not to remember the bad times so I don't have much to get angry about.
    Seeing this team changed is amazing. Especially on the defensive side.

    Here to good times!!!

    Nobody deserves anything. The Texans will have to earn everything they get. On the other hand, Texans fans should simply enjoy the ride and hope it goes all the way to the promised land.

    I really like that people are excited about the Texans are a Super Bowl ready team, but we should calm down on any super bowl talk this early in the season. I still feel like the 49ers might be the one that wins it all in the end of the day. They worry me even if they lost to the Vikings.

    Not sure calming down accomplishes anything. Great, the 49ers are a good team. So are the Falcons.
