Screw it, I'll be y'all's "McGrady"...y'all can all blame me. If we don't win the SB, it's my fault.

The Texans are going to win the Super Bowl.

When that happens, a lot of people are going to say, "I knew they could do it."

I knew Brian & Watt & Reed & Demeco were bad mamajama's.

I knew Jjo & Quin & Manning & Kj & Allen & McCain were winners.

I knew Wade was a genius.

I knew through all his faults Kubiak was "good enough"

I knew Arian was special

I knew Duane Brown was the baddest man on the planet.

I knew the Texans were on the right track....

Some of the people who will say that are saying it now. The others won't be saying it till after it's a done deal.

Well I guess its good you made it a public poll, that way we can easily tell who was right and went all Miss Cleo up in here.

yeah a lot of people do, kind of like how before TJ yates started everyone was like he has no chance, after he pulls off 3 wins they all "knew he would be great all along" and now they cant believe Kubiak ever gave the kid a shot to begin with it is almost comical to see people opinions change week to week, and then in the end they say "they knew all along" haha

Fortunately I've never been really hung up on being right.

It's really easy for me to say I was wrong. I do it all the time

Additionally, I know that NFL results have nothing to do with whether I believe one thing or another.

My common sense tells me there's not a snowball's chance in hell that the team that just lost to the worst team in the league is going to win the Super Bowl.

I also know that the fact that I don't believe the Texans can win the Super Bowl doesn't make me less of a fan than anyone else. I'll still be cheering them on. I just won't have any irrational fantasies in my head while I'm cheering.

You have me on record right now saying it's not going to happen this year and, if it does, I'll be the first to say I was dead wrong.

But it's not going to happen....

LOL!

Hopefully that's what Yates says to himself every night before he nods off.

A lot of the things he listed above...I had nailed also.

Nailed Foster from the minute we picked him up (not to the degree he'd be tops in the league...but knew he'd be a player for us and a surprise UDFA)

I knew our front 7 (Barwin, Reed, Cush, Smith, Watt) was going to BEAST and knew we wouldn't miss a beat without Mario...somebody here was WRONG about that, not going to name any names

Absolutely nailed Duane Brown when everyone was calling him a reach I saw special ability..me and YoungTexanFan used to go back and forth about it till the cows came home.

I liked the J.Jo and Manning signing also

Thought Wade was going to do a good job for us, I did want Kubes fired after last season though and still believe that he should've been fired

Oh well, just like everybody here...there's things you're right about and there's things you aren't right about. Nobody is right about everything.

[BullBlitz]

Unusual things happen in NFL games all the time. But for us to win the wildcard game, the division game, the conference game and then the Super Bowl? Nope.

[Playoffs]

I assume that the 46%* who voted "Hell No" will not be watching the Texans if they play in the Super Bowl...

Because why would you watch your team that is certain to lose the game?

If you watch, then some part of you believes the Texans might win,
So you voted wrong in the poll.



*My guess is a bunch of skirt wearing, cousin-marrying Titans fans cranked up the generator and surfed over to TT on their Commodore 64s to do their outhouse business here on our forum.

Just because I believe they won't go to the Super Bowl, won't win the Super Bowl, can't win the Super Bowl that doesn't mean there's no chance.

Like I said earlier, I've been wrong before. I've been wrong many times.

I don't believe the Texans will win the Super Bowl, but I'm going to cheer for them anyway and hope for the best.

There are mornings I get up and look outside and see dark thunderclouds. I'm fairly certain it's going to rain, but I hope I'm wrong.

See how that works?

[False Start]

I believe, we nut up and beat the Tinbreds this week. It just depends on who we play on the first round of the playoffs before I make my decision on the rest of the way.

And I assume the 55% who voted "hell yes" will be waiting outside of Kubiak's house with pitch forks ready to run him clear out of town when he fails to deliver your "expectations" for another season.

Because why would you want to keep around a coach who couldn't win a game that you expected to win.. Because if you don't ask him to be fired, then some part of you "believes" the Texans have no shot


See, two can play this game.

Really?

I don't think so.

Saying your team has a shot, doesn't mean you believe they'll win the SB. You can feel your team has a shot and still think they aren't going to win the SB...and if they DID win the SB, who the hell would really give a flying flip if they were wrong about that? Seriously, what point are you trying to make here?

For me, it's not about being right. It's about being behind our team 100% every step of the way.

Again, if you've got concerns, that's ok. If you've got honest to God constructive criticism, that's ok.


On paper, this doesn't look like the best team in the league. I have my own concerns about Gary Kubiak.

But I believe in the Houston Texans.

Jan 1, I'm going to be at Reliant & I'm going to do my damndest to make sure the team understand where I'm at. I have a feeling there will be 70,000+ on hand doing the same.

& we're going to do the same thing Wild Card weekend.

When they go on the road to Baltimore or Pittsburgh, I hope they remember those 70,000+ & whup some ass.

I'll be rooting for whoever to beat New England, to bring the AFC Championship game back to Houston & I'll be in that crowd (tickets already bought & paid for) supporting my team 100%

It's not about being right... it's about being behind them boys on Kirby.
