As I sat watching the game with my brother, a Seattle Fan, we discussed how this Texans team has lacked an identity for the last 3 years. Hell, we were able to go further back than that. The Texans have been called Denver South and now New England South. My question, who is this team? Right now, all I see is a team that has no "Juice" on the road, barely any "juice" at home to beat less than stellar teams, and a crap offensive staff that can't game plan their way out of a wet paper bag. Was Godsey calling plays today?
Something needs to be shaken up in a big way. I realize winning takes care of all woes, but it won't be long before we are back to slamming our mediocre team for being less than stellar. For the rest of the year, I'll watch the games to see if the offense grows, if the defense becomes more stout without JJ, and if our special teams can start doing more special things. But I'm not going to lambast them for being mediocre. We know what they are, let's stop trying to make gold out of bullshit. It will only keep causing us pain.
Deep down, the City has lived in football mediocrity with a love-hate relationship for our professional team. The fans talk about curses, talk about injury bugs, and how the football gods must hate us. But it seems as if we have attached that mentality to the identity of the team. When is McNair and Co. going to do something that makes this team truly the Texans?
