still not happy

[legacy_gt]

bengals were one of the hottest teams coming in (beating steelers, ravens, &giants). dalton was coming back to his home town. and the texans were looking their worst ever this whole season.

i'm happy with the win. if they lose next week, so be it. i just want some heart in their game taking it personal for getting their a$$ handed last time.

If we lose next week then I will be glad to debate what this team needs to do to be better. Right now I'm just happy to get to root for my team again next week.

My feelings as well. I just love watching my team in the playoffs. Haven't had that feeling since the Oilers lost to the Bills with a 32 point lead.

Will a first round win be good enough forever?? Hell no. However, this season I never felt like we were the best team completely but we did seem very similar to the 49ers with how we won games. Our defense withered though, and that's what started the slump. Then our offense went to trash. But right now it's all about being better on game day and moving forward. We probably won't beat the Patriots, but man I'm excited to at least watch our team give it a try in the 2nd round. It's a lot better then not being in the playoffs. I've gone 20 years without being able to compete with the exception to last year. I love this!!

I personally dislike you. You come on here and you say such hateful things to people. HATEFUL.

You accuse people of not being real fans. And Tex is doing the same thing. And neither of you think what you're doing is wrong. But it is.

"Fans like you PRAY for losses..."

Seriously? Wow. It sounds like you just don't like being wrong and knowing you were too drunk with Kool Aid to have seen what was coming. Sober up sometime and just listen to others. People have been around here a long time.

I was here when this board first started 10 years ago. Were you? I've talked a lot of football, year round, with people on here. The good, the bad, the indifferent. Rain. Shine. 12 people, total, on here. And now with its hundreds of posters.

I'm seriously pissed off right now.

Whatever bro. I'm not being hateful. I speak my mind as you do. If I begin to name call like "negative nancy" I pre-apologize for it. I wasn't even talking about you. But whatever, I don't mind that you dislike me. Put me on your ignore list. Btw, you act like I just joined this board yesterday, way to pull the "I joined b4 you card" Oh and I dislike your sig pic in the worst way. It's awful.

So, im not surprised that you're in here with your "yeah we won, but...." Garbage. Its par for the course with you and a few others in here.

Watching your favorite team play in January is aiight..... but what I really enjoy is watching my friends root for my team, because their team ain't....

This year, that includes Cowboy fans, Steeler fans, Saints fans, & Giants fans.

[Grams]

On any given Sunday . . . . . . .

I just want to see this team prepared and mentally ready to play the Pats next Sunday.

If we lose - to go down fighting.

[Surreal McCoy]

Wow, Texecutioner absolutely owning this thread. LOL Only thing that's surprising is how easily he's doing it...

I do, too. It was a lot of fun yesterday (though that bomb that overshot Green could have been a real bummer). We should give some praise to what (Watt?) went right against the Bengals.

1) The defense controlled the game from the outset.
2) The offense move the ball between the 10's against a top 10 defense.
3) No new major injuries.

The Pats probably aren't staying up late worrying about the Texans. If you can be over confident going against a 13-4 team, New England likely is. Which is a good thing. I think this defense will play much better than they did in week 14. I think Arian Foster can run against this Patriot defense. And it's possible that Schaub can get out of this funk and have a game similar to week 3 against Denver.

Foster, Johnson, Watt. The Texans have players that can make game changing plays, just as the Patriots do. I doubt the Texans are going to travel all the way to Foxboro with the intent to lose. Maybe I'm not as happy as I would be with the Texans getting the #1 seed (as they should have). But, I'm happier than I was going into Saturday's game. I'm looking forward to a good football game next Sunday.

I think this mirrors my thoughts the closest.

[gafftop]

The Texans are still in the playoffs. The Bengals looked like a mirror of the Texans in QB and coaching. Dalton looks like a young Schaub. Play calling very familiar, throwing short for first downs etc.

It could be a lot worse. I feel so much better that the Texans won than I would have if the Bengals had completed one of those passes to Green in the 2nd half and the texans lost by 1 after complete domination.

The defense looked a lot better today but hard to tell if it was just inferior competition or did they really play better. We will know more next week.

Next week we have Brady not Dalton. Do the Texans have a chance?

Without a doubt they have a chance.
Get out to a fast start.

No TOs by offense, multiple TOs by our defense. We need all the breaks and calls.
Execute in red zone. Need tds not fgs.
No penalties or at least none in red zone.
No penalties that keep the Pats on the field. What the hell was that Daniel Manning offsides? Brady will make you pay.
Schaub needs to make the big plays and make good decisions and stay composed. He just seems to always in a big rush even when he has time.
Both line need to win or at least play even.

Not happy that we don't have home field advantage because I think it would help but at least we are still in the game.

Remember when we beat GB with almost no offense, it can happen.

Nope. You must be thinking about the Chicago game.

[HTown2ATX]

I'm happy about the win but I noticed yesterday that while I was pumped at the bar, leading chants on chairs as normal and whatnot, it still just didn't FEEL the same as last year. I find that today while yes I am happy about the win, I don't think I'll be squirting with excitement until I see this team win against an elite team, which they won't have the chance to do until next week.

A win next week and truly IMO we will all be one happy family again. Otherwise, it will be more the same with the people on the satisfied with staying pat crowd and possibly still an expansion franchise mentality and those who actually have higher expectations and see what has happened with open eyes.

Until then, you'll see no bitching from me, GO TEXANS!

I so hope that thought never enters our locker room. After the way the 49ers spanked them... I don't think they're taking anything or anyone lightly.

They know, more than anyone, how much work it takes to get back to the Super Bowl & there are no guarantees of winning it. & they know where their window is. 3/4s shut.
