More like fans that see no fault and never complain seeing thereselves as the only true fans and anyone finding fault as a bandwagon fan or hater. Its a koolaid world to some. I've been a fan of Houston NFL football longer than most on this board have been alive but I don't claim to be any better of a fan than anyone else, just older. Different opinions are not something these "super fans" can handle. You must agree with them or you are wrong mr.

But when Wayne was making that decision, Texans receiver Andre Johnson was really hoping his old college teammate would join him.

“Here was one of the places that he actually wanted to come,” Johnson said. “I was hoping that I would get a chance to be able to play with him again. Unfortunately, it didn’t go that way.”

At Miami, Wayne took Johnson under his wing and mentored him in the transition to college football.

I didnt know Wayne wanted to come to Houston. Probably Schaubs fault.

Could have had Manning, Wayne, Dre, OD and Arian!!

Wayne would have been awesome but I bet it was salary cap issues that killed any chance of him coming to Houston.

It ain't over till it's over .

That's just the way it has to be .

With David Carr as our QB!!!

(I swear, Texans fans need to step off the ledge sometimes...)

I want to know why it is that IF our team goes 12-3 it means that there is automatically NO complaining allowed?

Miserable? MISERABLE?

If you aren't miserable then you don't know what happiness looks and feels like. Happiness is a Lombardi Trophy, not 12-3 and praying for HFA in a final game on the road against your divisional rival.

For me, this team started off looking like the real deal. The past four weeks, maybe even stretching back to 5 games ago for all I care, we've looked like a Wild Card team.

I now think the Texans are in the same league as the Ravens. Denver and New England will get the two first round byes. We'll be hosting a Wild Card game.

So, "yeah," miserable is OK. It's fair, it's accurate, and it's appropriate when considering what we had to look forward to back when we were 12-1. This team needs every single advantage it can get: Rest for the players, HFA throughout, every single thing we can have go our way...because otherwise I'm not seeing the resiliency I saw back in the two OT games. Since then, we've looked indifferent and apathetic and plain ass ugly.

This team may in fact win a #1 seed, but they damn sure have not played like a #1 seed...that is the freaking misery of it all...

the defense played like pyoff caliber team agaisnt vikings they did soemthing no team has done contain peterson..they would of won if wasnt for that horrid offense

If you think we're miserable now, wait a couple of weeks when we're 12-4 and one and done.

Then this place will really be a bucketful of cheer.

You said it man....horrible! I had food poisoning and was violently ill for last Sunday's game against the Vikings but I was in Houston visiting family so I laid on the couch at my Aunt's to watch the game. I had been trying to hold back vomit the whole day and finally near half time I said I would rather be throwing up....so I did....and frankly I enjoyed that more than watching that swirling turd of a game. Pathetic!

[Rey]

If you complained about 6-10, 8-8, 8-8, 2-14 you should be ashamed...

Some cities don't even have a football team...

We were fortunate enough to have Mr. McNair bring a team BACK to Houston. Just be happy he isn't Buck Fud.

We are 12-3, going to the play-offs for the second time, second time winning the division and you are going to complain just because the team has played poorly....

We could be the 0-16 lions...

Nevermind wanting more...JUST BE HAPPY YOU DON'T HAVE IT WORSE!!! and NO MORE SOUP FOR UUU!!111!!

Yet, you seem to have this smug little attitude that you are somehow superior to everyone because...why? Please elaborate on your apparent and quite evident arrogance on the subject. You are obviously an expert to make such black and white statements about your fellow Texans fans.

Stand by your statement with something worthwhile rather than blathering the same old regurgitated sanctimonious bullshit.

You said of Houston Texans fans:



Prove it.

C'mon, quit acting like your peepee is hurt and own your statement.

MSR.

Why do threads like this just go on and on and on?!? You have the sunshine pumpers on one side of the fence screaming about how they are the only "real" fans and on the other side we have the debbie downers constantly complaining about every single little thing even when the team is successful. Then you have the rest of us that are just somewhere in the middle. We get happy and encouraged when the team is playing well, and we get pissed off and down in the dumps when the team is sucking. What exactly is wrong with that?

Isn't being a little emotional part of being a "fan"? Becoming a fan of a team is almost like entering into a marriage relationship. You care about the team. You want the best for the team. When things are going well with the team, you are on cloud nine. When things are going poorly, you want to steal candy from babies. That's just the way it is for many of us. So why not shut the hell up with all this divisive nonsense about who the "real" fans are or how miserable our fans are and just enjoy talking about the team we all care about.

yep. At that point it might be time to hit the eject button and wait a couple of weeks to land safely.

So this is the answer? We should never demand more, never expect excellence from our team. Instead, we should just sit around eating smores while singing kumbaya just happy we should have a team?

Ok, if you say so...

It's not the complaining. This "belief" that the Texans are absolutely no good, to the point where we are predicting a loss the the Indy Colts, that's unacceptable.

Yeah, you can predict it (not you in particular, but whoever is predicting as much) but expect to get some blow back.

We're not good enough to beat the elite teams... nothing wrong with saying as much.

We're not good enough to beat Minnesota... obviously.

We're not as good as we were to start the season, & we weren't all that great even then... the evidence is there.

But when we played the Titans... beat them. Beat them pretty good. When we played the Jags. Beat them. When played the Colts, beat them. Five games, only one of them was in question, & it wasn't the Colts game.

Even if we don't play our best game, we should be able to beat the Colts in Indy & be the #1 seed. Hopefully, that will give us time to find some way to get better & have a shot at the Super Bowl.

If a Texans fan weighs the upcoming game against the Colts and comes to the conclusion his/her money would be on the Colts, how is that unacceptable? I take it as one person's opinion right or wrong and move on without judgement.

Hearing what my fellow Texan fans think is one of the reasons I come here. I don't agree with, and sometimes chuckle at some opinions but it is just an opinion.

On the other hand I do get a little perturbed when I see a fan trying to tell me how I should think as a fan (not directed at you).

Fwiw, in my mind the Colts come with roughly the same degree of difficulty as the Vikings do, if not slightly better than the Vikes as of this typing, so those that have the feeling we could lose on Sunday is not the most absurd thing in the world.

I keep hearing from the Texans they are refocused, I can only hope this is true, because my confidence in them right now is low.....and I'm a fan.

Heaven knows I'm miserable now.
