b) you will always be 'a yard short'.....

Better to be at the dance then turned down by your sister.

c) As long as the fat man and his rug are around, the Titans will always be the brides-maid and will NEVER be the bride...

Learn it... Love it.... Live it!!!!

So what is you excuse for 6 years and counting of crappy play. Please do not give another tired excuss about an expansion team.

Thats why I used those examples.. They suck, their teams suck and yet individually they are doing as well as, if not better than your glorifed running back. Titans are 6-2 because of that defense and are winning in spite of "his highness'

If that works for you.. Sounds like a defeatest attitude. I don't hear too many Astros fans saying, at least we made it to the WS... I hear them wanting to get back there to win it.

Lemme see here... 6 years (4 of which were a complete waste under C&C).. Well thats it 6 years... The Oilers/Tinnbreads have had just as bad of runs,...including their first 5 or 6 years in the NFL.... Something about 'glass houses' comes to mind..

The thing with Young is he is not losing games. He is not winning games but he is also not handing them to the other team.

Does anyone actually care about the Stros?

That stinks of an excuse ...

So I assume you are just talking in the NFL right cuz we both now the Oilers were solid in the AFL.

Year 5 Oilers finished 7-7
Year 6 Oilers finished 10-4

not really sure I understand what you are trying to get at other then this season proving the Texans are on the road to being a perennial loser.

He tried to lose the game last week. It's a shame for the Panthers that Carr played worse.

Spoken like a true Giants fan.. Enjoy the cellar.

No excuse..... FACT. I saw some good things this season and I am not one to use injuries as an excuse, but the future looks bright.

Yes (see that lengthy thread we had last year or the year before about it). But I am not sure how solid - 10 seasons: 4 were losing, 2 were .500. Granted they won the first two AFL championships and played in the 3rd - but it was a brand new league. After that, they were mediocre at best.

Year 5 Oilers finished 7-7
Year 6 Oilers finished 10-4

True... How long were they a professional football organization prior to the merger?- Again 10 seasons??? Out of those 10 seasons: 4 were losing, 2 were .500. Anyway the point is that they were an established team prior to joining the NFL.

As a matter of fact, yes.

The Stros are huge all throughout Texas.

The Titans have overcome them, but 11 turnovers is handing at least chances to the other team. Due to the rest of the team stepping up those haven't hit y'all in the butt, but that cannot go on forever. He has to work on that.

True, I wonder how many times his teammates have bailed him out this year.

The Panthers were only saved by there D. By the end L-Dub was carrying them 2~3 yards a carry. Young kept drives alive when we needed them. If you have also not noticed the Titans lead the league in dropped balls.

I will there, is always fresh ground beef each season thanks to the Moos.

Is it me or is this CD skipping?

So you would take our start in the AFL to compare to the Texans again I do not see you having an agreement here.

LET ME SPEAK REALLY SLOOOOOOOOOW FOR.......... YOU.

I WAS COMPARING THE OILERS FIRST 4 YEARS IN THE NFL TO THE TEXANS - WITH THE CAVEAT BEING THAT THE OILERS HAD ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR 10 YEARS PRIOR TO COMING INTO THE NFL.

IN OTHER WORDS THEIR FIRST WINNING SEASON CAME IN THE 5th YEAR OF THEM BEING IN THE NFL (MEANING THAT THEY HAD BEEN IN EXSITENCE FOR 15 YEARS AT THAT POINT).

SLOW ENOUGH FOR YOU?!?

You can speak as slow as you want to but I am reading your post. The speed at which you speak has no bearing on my ability to understand your jaded take on the texans franchise.

Young threw two picks, ran for 25 and threw for 110. That sucks at any level. That 36.5 rating was pretty impressive too.. He's looking up at David Carr's rating.....

Nice if you ignore the fact that he ran for a TD and also picked up crucial 1st downs that kept scoring drives alive. Talk to me again when you are not just thumbing through a stat book and you have actially watched the game.

I saw the Jaguars and Colts game early in the season and he looked bad in the first and ok in the second.

I saw the game against Atlanta. It was a really bad performance. I was in the sports bar and this Falcons fan was talking all sorts of crap to these Titan fans.

Then I saw the Panthers game last week and it was not a very good performance either.

I've seen quite a few bad performances throughout the season so far.

Edit: There are games I didn't watch but the stat line looks pretty bad. Against Oakland you've got 42 passing yards from 14 attempts. 11 rushing yards from 4 attempts.

The only game where he has thrown more than one TD is against New Orleans. New Orleans is tied for giving up the 2nd most in AVG yards per attempt with a whopping 8.2 yards. We are bad and we give up only 7. NO is also 6th in giving up the most passing yards per game at 248.1. Oh and they are sitting at the top with the most passes over 40 yards with 8(how bad is that), also tied for 2nd with most passes for over 20 yards with 30.

Yes most of his preformances have been sub par ... but then again when we needed points he put us in position. Dropped balls make QBs look poor no matter who the QB is.

But at the same time a ratio of 3 TDs and 8 INTs is bad no matter what. Also the guy is only averaging 5.7 per attempt. You can't just blame your WRs, he really is playing poorly.

throw the balls better and they will be caught. The games I have watched, he has a tendency to overthrow alot.

*ahem* I did watch the game. Sunday Ticket. The stats actually do him justice compared to actually watching that abomination.

Wow... Simply wow. One of the most prolific college rushing QB, rushes for 25 yards and 1 TD... 1

TD....so, he made up for half the picks he threw...

Vince simply isn't living up to the hype. Your defense has carried this team this season. Period. Sorry the stats add salt to that wound, but they illustrate perfectly how over-hyped VY is...
