Why is this place so guarded? - Page 3 - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

**SheTexan** · 12-22-2012

I've been reading, but, just don't care to comment much anymore! Ya show to much excitement on this board and SOMEONE will delight in shooting you down by calling you a "homer" or pretty much indicating you don't have enough football smarts to even post. SO, I've gotten to a point where I pick and choose who's post I care to read. Just to much negativity for me.

Truthfully, it's been hard to keep my keyboard silent. I'm so freaking excited about our venture this year I tear up just thinking about it. I want to SHOUT out and praise our team for what they have accomplished, but, all the negatives kill my excitement, so I pretty much stay away. I've admitted I'm a HOMER and proud of it. We have a DAMN good team this year, and I'm proud of them. I guess I wear my GRANDMA name pretty well, cause I protect my team just like I do my grandkids.. I know their faults, I just don't wanna hear someone else point them out, esp everyday. I'll stand with this team all the way to the end, whatever that might be. They've given me one of the most exciting years in football I have had in a very long time, and I am happy with that. GUARDED?? Yep, I'm not stup*d, I know our season could come to an end a lot sooner than I want, but, I am NOT disappointed in what our boys have done this year!!

Correct. Remember that game a couple years ago when Chris Johnson had 500 yards rushing or whatever it was and the Tacks lost 59-0 to the Pats? I see that sort of game, except we all know Kubiak is too polite to drop 59 on someone. Won't matter though. Texans roll.

It is the nature of MB's as a reflection of human nature. People spend a lot more time bitching than they do running around throwing dandelions and hugs.

To clarify, I meant with people wearing them. I went to small independent grocer's today for potato salad I forgot at Walmart this A.M. & in both one guy in deli was wearing a hat.

I'm expecting to see our corners on islands a lot with safeties up. Little as he brings, I am glad Cody is back & hope James plays like an all pro. We should bang AP until he cries for mama; at least we can rotate guys on him and hopefully he will have to sit out some.

**TEXANS84** · 12-22-2012

I don't see us as necessarily guarded, I see us acting like we've been there before.

If you do, there's one on the east coast you may want to cheer for; that "dream" team, if you know what I'm talking about.

Dude...I'm not going to root for the Eagles...

Been a tough week, so guess I'm a little testy today. Just lookin forward to tomorrow and sealing HFA. Come on guys, how exciting is that??!! We've never been in this position before. Not even as a diehard LUV YA BLUE gal! HFA throughout the playoffs!! CRAP, gives me chilly bumps just thinkin about it!!

I'm so tired right now I could drop, but, I'll be there loud and strong tomorrow. AP won't crack 100 yds, bet on it!!! JJ will prove to the NFL just why HE should be MVP this year, bet on that too!!

If enough Sunshiny folks post, it overwhelms the darkside... make me shiny folks.. POST positive vibes... I'm by nature a pessimist, but you can change us naysayers one at a time

On a side note, I expect after todays win, we'll see this place explode

**Grams** · 12-23-2012

This place is guarded because of the Oilers.

It will stay that way till the Texans change the history of football in Houston.

I grew up in New England and a Red Sox fan. I have seen them lose the 7th game of a World Series 3 times. For 86 years they could not win a Championship. Then 2004 happened.

Until the Texans erase the memories of the Oilers' failures, I think it will always be a little guarded in hope and expectations until we win it all.
