Boycott the Indy Game

yes the tickets are bought, but it would still send a message to the texans that if they don't shape up that this fan base will not support them.
 
I've got tickets for the last two games and have already decided that I'm not going to either. As a matter of fact I'm not going to another Texans game while David Carr is the starting QB.

Our tickets are supposedly 'sold' but after this game, I wont believe it until the proverbial brass is in pocket.

Maybe Carr will pull a Sandy Koufax and sit out the game....that would be a real Christmas miracle for all of us
 
everyone needs to forget about the texans and watch the domination of Yao on Channel 51...the rockets are up by 10, and Yao is playing out of his mind.
 
I suggested to my co-season ticket holder that we show up, place "on strike" signs on our seats, and leave.

That idea was not well received.
 
Bob McNair passes within 10 feet of me before every home game. Most of my comments to him over the years have been supportive and cordial. He's returned pleasantries many times. Sunday, he's going to hear me say two things: 1) "why should I renew my season tickets next year?" and 2) "it's time to cut your losses at QB like you did with Gary Walker, Todd Wade, and Robaire Smith"
 
Since the Texans haven't shown up the majority of the season,I'm not showing up the last 2 games either. So this time it's mutual!:gun:

I think they already no that. The Texans aren't screwing up on purpose. It's not like they're trying to send a message to us. Bob McNair, Kubiak, the players, etc...they all want to win just as much as we, the fans, want them too.

Agreed. That is exactly why I will be at the game. Because unlike the organization that claims tradition by announcing players before games and then stopping it, I will continue to attend every game. However, I will be there to make sure I voice my displeasure to all parties involved on the field.

... and miss BVP start? Are you crazy? I'm there.

On the other hand, I'll be filling up during the tailgate, so Aramark will be going down the tubes w/o my support.
 
I'd rather go to a bad NFL game than any other sport, especially the NBA.

I would go and hold a sign up stating how you feel.

So what should you put on the sign?

Well, atleast AJ will be at the game. And yes, even I will be at the game as well.

amen to that...
 
Rather than boycotting the entire game, I would recommend a walkout with 8 minutes left in the game.

Orioles fans did it to show displeasure with their front office and so did Lions fans.

If you don't care anymore, you just won't go to the game anyway. If you do care, then walk out. It'd be a good way of showing support for the guys on the field while sending a message to the front office.
 
Boycotting hurts the fans more than the owner. The owner still gets the money, but there are thousands of empty seats that less fortunate people would want.

I support the team, but not David Carr. I suggest "Carr Sucks" chants...or boo loudly anytime he does anything.

There are thousands who do that whether we're winning or losing [gotta beat that traffic] so no one would really notice anything out of the ordinary with that strategy...
 
Given that it's Christmass eve, I doubt there will/would be many fans there anyway. About half full at best. Probably more like about 20-25K.

With this logic, I am supposed to go back to the same restaurant week after week, year after year, when they serve really bad food, at inflated prices. No thanks.

That is not a bad idea!


Actually it looks like the paper bags might be coming out this weekend...........
 
lol...lets let the texans know we don't appreciate them even though we already bought the tickets...they made just as much money with us not in the stands as they would with...thatll show them....


yall act like they aren't trying or something... and honestly did all of yall think first year head coach of a 2-14 team would win more than 5 games? because i didnt. Especially with 70% of our offensive line out with injury, our starting running back out with an injury, a majority of our interior linemen, and our whole offense and defense learning a new system. Yeah blah blah blah they get paid so much to learn a new system and its not hard learning a new system... I played and it took our team a few year to learn a new 3-4 defense from a 4-3...and I imagine the transition back is just as hard. I didn't play offense but I imagine that offense would be twice as hard.
 
Actually, this is the only game that I will get to be at all season.

Does this mean no tailgating either?

Great minds think alike. I have tickets to the Indy game, and have no interest in watching a David Carr led team try and play Indy. David Carr takes away any chance our team has of beating Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts.

If Carr gets benched, I will show up. If David Carr doesnt get traded, I will NOT renew my season Tickets.

What if they have a really good draft and sign some good quality free agents?

Great post but you're wasting your time with this crowd.
 
For those of us that do not live in Houston and have to go to a sportsbar to watch our fav team, I say if you dont want to go, give/sell your tickets who would love to go. I wouyld LOVE to go to the game, but the fact is I live out here in Denver. I understand that alot of yall get to go to a lot fo games and i can understand your frustration, but think how fortunate you are that you have the ability to get to the game and the money to pay for those tix. If you do not want to go, how about giving them to someone who would? How about donating your tickets to some worthy cause? You would be able brighten up someone's holiday!

I'm almost in the same boat as you, with one exception: I went to the Dallas game as well. Oh, and I know I'm tailgating. I'll be outside throwing a football around... maybe the Texans will send some scouts out and pick me up for a game. Can't hurt, right?
 
I think not going at to the game at all would...

1) hurt concessions/merchandise sales.
2) the little media we do get would still be negative. They wouldn't say "oh they are telling the front office something." They would say "I know it has to be tough being a texans fan, but even more so a texan player who is bustin their butt out their every day every week and the fans don't even support them. it's really sad when that happens. why did the nfl grant houston a team again...remember the oilers? ..yadda yadda yadda. "

Go to the game and hold up a sign of who you want us to draft next year.
 
Well gotta go for the Tailgating and since its Christmas can hope that maybe, just maybe a little Christmas Miracle will happen and we beat the Colts.

If nothing else I'll enjoy my friends and watch the Colts Offense in Action. If you put your likes or dislikes aside you can actually just watch their offense and see some really precision stuff.

I actually think they will have a good draft, and bring in some quality FA's, but as long as David is the QB, this team is going to suffer. You just cant have a player that makes these kinds of decisions running your offense. Its not like Carr is a role player, he is the quarterback. He is the man that touches the ball every freaking play. I dont think ive ever seen a superbowl winning QB, that turns the ball over as much as he does. Plus the QB has to make SOME plays. I mean, 1 touchdown in 7 games is a joke. Vick just threw 4 against the Cowboys, and we get 1 in 7 games, in mop up time.

I know Kubiak likes the kid, and he does have nice measurables. But if the kid cant make the right decisions, and make the right throws, then it doesnt matter how gifted you are in those other areas.

Please get me a new quarterback. Please give me a sliver of hope on gameday.
 
Go to the game but turn your back to the field when the offense/Carr is playing. Royals fans did it to the Yankees a few years back.

1. Good, too expensive for food that is as bad as the team.
2. Media attention is already as negative as it can get. How much more negative can commentators be than saying passing on VY and Bush equals Dumb and Dumber. I watch mostly sports shows, and trust me none of them are saying anything remotely close to "a Texan player who is bustin their butt out their every week and the fans don't even support them."

I am not going to boycott the game this Sunday because lately it has been a chance to get out the the house but still manage to get a lot of paper work done. I will probably do more of the same next game or take that good book I haven't had the chance to start reading.
 
I was an Oilers season ticket holder through some pretty lean years and it never once occurred to me to boycott a game. Any of you boycotters who are wondering why Cleveland got their new team instantly and Houston didn't need to look in the mirror. All this kind of thing does is vindicate Bud Adams for leaving.

At any rate, I doubt there is anything the fans can do to make management want to win more than they already do. I'd bet they're harder on themselves at this point than we could ever be.
 
At least the Houston fans have a team to boycott. Remember a few years ago, there was nothing for you people to be pissed about.
 
I think that is an excellent idea. As I intend to go to the game and enjoy it as much as I possibly can, there is nothing more disgraceful than sharing a stadium with a bunch of spoiled rich "fans" showing up with derogatory signs, yelling profanities at players, or generally carrying on like rabid monkeys.

If you don't like the team, stay home. Do something you enjoy this Sunday, if you don't enjoy watching Texans games. Sell or give your tickets to someone who would enjoy going. I'd much rather look at empty seats than to see a bunch of adults throwing three-hour temper tantrums.

Bravo. I plan on going to the game and don't want to see anybody there who is afraid of the Texans "ruining their Christmas."
 
I will be there (as usual and since day one) in full regalia and ready to cheer my hometown team on... I won't let the outcome of the game ruin my Christmas either...

Note to self:
*Be carefull on the amount of adult beverages that morning and afternoon, 'cause we celebrate Christmas on Christmas eve.*
