(1) Denial. (Watch Texans get ripped on opening day by the Steelers). Come on. We can't be that bad, are we? Certainly we've had to improve in another off season. Must have been just a bad game.
(2) Anger. (Watch the Rosencopter start to melt down against Indy on 10/5.) COME ON, SAGE! You have a big lead. DON'T do anything else too stupid or heroic. Just protect the damn ball and get some FIRST DOWNS!
(3) Bargaining. (See the Texans on the cusp of completing the Rosencopter meltdown on 10/5.) Please, God. We've suffered for so long. Just please help us find a way not to blow this game as well, and I'll go to church next Sunday before the game...
(4) Depression. (See the Texans get blasted by the Ravens.) These guys are really terrible. I hate that my team is so, so dismal. My friends who are Cowboys fans and Tacks/VY fans are making my life miserable. Time for another beer.
(5) Acceptance. (See Rosencopter start to drive the Texans down the field in the last two minutes of today's Colts game.) It's okay, Sage will throw a pick or someone will fumble. Hey, wait -- they made a play... still plenty of time, we know it will end badly. Wow, another first down. You know it's going to fall short, though. Oops, way to go Sage -- there it is, nice pick right into the hands of a defender. It's so much easier to take this when you aren't deluded into thinking they might actually win...
