Schaub Calls Out the Fans

Hall of Fame
After the game, Schaub called out the fans for leaving the building before the game's end. But I would have to point out that the team left the building, along with Elvis................... WAY BEFORE the fans had a chance to.

Let me also point out that those same fans with their families have scraped together their dwindling hard earned money, seemingly solely for the privilege of watching the Texans, from the top down, pad their own already bulging wallets.

More and more of the fans will be happy from here on out to support their team from the cheap comfort of their own residence. From there, they will be able to be spared from leaving early after a putrid performance and taking that long walk back to the car and the long gasoline guzzling trip back home...............they will be able to simply switch the channel and watch something with at least some crumb of entertainment value.

If fans wanted to spend 3 hours watching a shitty product, they could lock themselves up in their bathroom for that period of time after having a good BM.

Sorry, but the Texans have to realize that we have no obligation to be there for them when they don't show up for us.
 
I'd tell him the same thing that I'd like to tell those players on D that wave their arms. "If you'd pay more attention to the guy on the other side of the ball than you do the crowd, you might win a little more."

And tell OD to quit flipping the fans the bird....
 
I agree with the gist of what he said but he is the wrong person to deliver that message. Huge blunder on his part.
 
Wow. If this is true, then Matt Schaub can kiss my butt.

The meltdown has begun. Not only are they quitting, they're now calling out their fans and deflecting personal blame by trying to focus on US.

If true, this was a dumb move. And I know dumb moves when I see them.
 
I don't agree with fans leaving the game early.

I sat & watched the Colts pray after the game... kinda hurt that it was on our field.

But.. Matt & the Texans need to prove them wrong every now & then, and win the game in the last 4 minutes.

The guys who left early knew that wasn't going to happen, & IMHO.. that's worse than them leaving to begin with.

They were right.

There is no obligation for a paying fan to stay and support a team who is being paid to perform.

If I pay for a movie and I deem it to be bad, I stop watching it and walk out (or stop it, eject it, and take it back). I won't demand to have my money given back to me by the theatre manager or the rental store manager.

And I don't think the actors and actresses care if I enjoyed it or not. They got paid.

This is an attempt, allegedly, by a player (Schaub, allegedly) to deflect personal responsibility. Instead of shutting up, he decided to try and re-direct some angst by pointing fingers at FANS of all people. LOL.

Things are getting more bizarre by the hour. It's firing season already.
 
Even Gary Kubiak would have walked out had he not been tethered to the field by his headset cord.

Hell, the coach can't even watch the team on important plays anymore.

Leaving is better than staying and boo'ing and yelling harsh insults.

Take your pick, Matt: A swollen crowd of harsh insulters, or people just choosing to quietly leave and catch easier traffic for the ride home.

People leave early and Schaub accuses them of not being real fans? Perhaps if he had played like a real NFL quarterback in the 2nd half they might have stayed.
 
This is very bad news...The last thing we need is for players to start alienating themselves from the fans and the organization. I hope somebody fixes this in a hurry.
 
i don't like ppl leaving early either.........but perhaps a 3 game losing streak is the wrong time to be telling fans what they shouldn't be doing
 
It may be a good thing the Texans play in Jax on Sunday!Right now all I would say to Schaub is STFU and win some football games!
:firehair:
 
You know what?

I reverse my position.

Get rid of Matt Schaub and keep Gary Kubiak. At least Gary Kubiak isn't moronic enough to start this sort of trash.

Cue the keystone cops music...

LOL...I was thinking of Benny Hill's theme music...
 
I think you cant understand what this cities fans have been through unless you have lived here. maybe if our football existance started when matt got here he might have a point, he does'nt realize there was football here before him and fans walking out has as much to do with what happened before he got here as what has happened since he's been here.
 
I don't blame the fans at all for walking out on this one in particular. The players gave up, why should the fans care? However, these guys are just venting much like we are. They ought to handle it more professionally, but I'm a lot more concerned about their crappy second half performances than I am about their fingers and mouths right now. If OD keeps pulling his finger out of his butt and showing it to everybody, he needs to not be on the sidelines with the team.
 
The more I think about it the madder I get .

With the Texans winning 20-14 and the Colts driving ... probably after a turnover ... a Colt fan kept standing up and being really obnoxious . I politely asked him to refrain from such behavior and that I would really appreciate him showing more sportsmanship ... well something like that .

Do you know how miserable of a feeling it is to see Matty throw a pick six and give the freakin game away and give the Colt fan the satisfaction of seeing us having to take it .
 
I agree with everything Schaub said - but that doesn't mean he should have said it. He needs to STFU and worry about WINNING GAMES in the fourth quarter, not "putting us in a position to win" or flat out come apart at the seams like he did on Sunday.
 
These guys (Schaub, OD, whoever else) need to keep their mouths shut and let their actions on the field do some talking. These guys are blessed that the fans only walk out early and don't stay to the end to roundly boo their half-ass performance.
 
I left early and don't mind admitting it. I've seen this show before, I already knew the ending. I'll stay until the last second when they give me a reason to believe they won't find a way to make it the most miserable part of the game.
 
I was a Schaub defender and fan.

I have watched 10 games a year for 8 yrs. That is approx. 300 hrs of the SOS.

Matt Schaub you want to ? my fanhood

Bleep you Matt Schaub who the he** do you think you are?

This makes me look forward to the Seattle game even more.

I'm one of the bad fans that gives my $ up to watch you throw pick 6's at the worst time and not score a TD in the 2nd half against the vaunted Colts defense that's missing Freeney and Sanders.

I dont normally get to my seats for the player intros but you can believe I will be there for the intros for the Seattle game.

Kubes will probably save you by doing the defense intros but sooner or later you will have to deal with the wrath of the great fans of the HOUSTON TEXANS.

F-it play Grossman

PS beating Seattle doesn't mean squat to me.

Beating New England does and thats not going to happen but keep on talking smack and see how that works for you with this fan base.

OK Herv how many tackles have you missed this season or how many pick 6 's have you thrown?
:shots:
 
I left when the defense was hanging their heads and after Homer Simpson ran through about 4 tacklers on the way to the end zone. I've had no voice every day after the last two home games, and the monday night game I didn't have a voice for 2 days after cause we were yelling VY sucks at the top of our lungs on the south end zone every time VY was down there.

:roast: <-- welcome to the roast Matt Schaub

Yeah I know how miserable it was I had to listen to the same stuff.

You probably care more about the outcome of the games than Matt does.

I questioned how much the players cared in relation to the fans caring after the Tacks game.

I think Schaub answered some of those questions after the Colts game.
 
I was in the 600's. I started walking after the embarrassing Simpson touchdown. I don't feel bad about it at all.

I have a lot of trouble with the pick 6's. I have a hard time telling the difference between a zone and man to man coverage. It comes back and bites me at the worst possible times. :barman:

Do you really believe this? I find that nearly impossible to believe.

GO HYPERBOLE! :clap:
 
Tell me it isnt so. The Texans better hope that ESPN doesn't run with this story and make it some weeklong lecture errrr discussion on fan behavior on Outside The Lines by the end of the week.

Schaub needs to know better and the horrible radio station 610, is a partner with the Texans and should have known better than to let this happen. You gotta have softball questions from the fans or you are going to be setup for drama like this. You gotta screen your callers better.

I think Schaub is getting a raw deal but its the nature of the beast. He hasn't made the plays when it counted and now he is calling out the fans who actually went to the game. That is not smart and shows some immaturity and unprofessionalism to be honest.

I have been a huge Schaub guy but right or wrong, it was stupid to say what he did. The fans left disappointed Mr. Schaub, they were there to cheer you and when you blew it you got booed. We will boo you when you screw up, just like we did Pastorini, Stabler, Moon, Furrer, Tolliver, Carlson, and Carr. It's what we do.

The only Oiler QB that I dont remember getting booed was Giff Nielson and that was because he actually won a big playoff game for us as a backup when all looked hopeless. He had a little help (Perry comes to mind) But the fans loved him so damn much he became a local newscaster. Nielsen beat Dan Fouts. Before Music City Miracle that was probably the Oilers signature playoff victorious moment. They have legions of playoff failure moments but Perry and Nielsen punking San Diego was special.

Let me reiterate. We better hope ESPN doesn't jump on this.
 
I am all for giving REX a chance. I am tired of watching Schaub pad his stats when it doesn't matter and fold like wet laundry when we NEED to win. For the last half dozen games it seems he has made at least one bonehead play at crunch time. Sure, C.Brown fumbled on goal line, but on the previous play Schaub missed a wide open Dreeson less than 20 yds away.

He doesn't have any room to criticize the fans or the players.:choke:

LOL, it was something like that.

We stayed to the end. It is more than annoying to hear a player call out the fans.
 
Aaannnd…….it all starts to unravel……

Seems like old times. Some things just don’t change in this city. That’s too bad if this is true.
 
Worst time possible for Schaub, or anybody on the Texans, to call out the fans.

Winning cures everything, you win games and the fans will be with your for every second. 2-4 at HOME just aint gonna cut it!!!
 
Ok, I just listened to the quote on 610, and in no way did he use the term "fair weather fan". He was responding to a question that j Lopez asked him. Lopez asked what do you say to those fans out there hanging on a ledge, and Schaub responded by saying hang in there with us, don't leave early, don't get out of your seats, don't boo us...we aren't giving up and we don't want them to give up either.

It's less than five minutes into the show. Listen for yourself, and I don't think there will be too many people that believe it sounds as bad as it's being made to be.

I was quite pissed when I read this thread, but feel much better after listening to it.

BTW, still think this team sucks regardless of how he meant his comment!

Well we are 2-4 at home and the Texans have choked more than that Debbie chick from Debbie does Dallas.

If Schaub doesn't like the way the fans act after 8 years of losing football and his inability to win a close game then he is always free to not have the Texans pick up his 24 million dollar option and go play else where.

Maybe all those fans leaving broke your concentration!
:rake:
 
Well this will get me hated, but I agree with Schaub. I have sat through 78 games now with the Texans and only left early once when my wife was nauseated/sick. I am a transplant to Houston - 16 years - and have heard or seen thousands of statements/posts about "bandwagon" Cowboys fans (my former team since the inception of the Texans). Well they are a friggin' lot more loyal than Houston fans. Boos at games, making up crap about players on MB's after losses, leaving the game before it is over. My buddy I took to this last game commented to me midway through the 4th, "look at all the Texans jerseys leaving."

I don't boo my team during the game. I don't leave early. I will come on here and analyze but I am not going to make crap up to criticize. I don't mind anyone analyzing plays/decisions and criticizing what is clearly a flawed team. I have a very low respect for the Houston fan base at this point.

Stay for the whole game. That simple. Although screw it, when y'all leave early it makes it easier for those of us that stay to get out AFTER the game.
