Is anyone else concerned about the potential disaster the Texans might be looking at in terms of fan support?
All the fans are very high on all the offseason changes( I am too, and we all have very good reason for this excitement) and alot of people are anticipating a good season, while the general consensus( not sure if I spelled that right) is that we will win around 6-7 games. Which I think this team is very capable of.
However we will have a tough schedule and could very well end up with an 0-6 start, which would certainly go tough on everyone and would be rather difficult to bounce back from. Also the team is almost like New and should take a few games getting used to and everything. Also, the offensive line while much improved, still might not be stable enough( hope i'm wrong) and that could very well damper our offensive production. And since Kubiak is considered to be an offensive guru, if the line isn't stable and the offense does faulter, i fear that fans might sour on Kubiak in his first year. And we are coming off a disasterous 2-14 campaign.
Which brings me to my point( yes it took awhile, and i apologize). The Texans while vastly improved they still might not ( god forbid) reach everyone's expectations. I would certainly understand if we only end up winning say around 5 games. ( I know we can manage 5 wins), I still wouldn't be upset with around 4. We will have a tough schedule from the get-go which may make it hard to recover. My point is that if the Texans don't live up to expectations, fans are going to be pretty upset and probably sour on the new regime and everything. I'm just worried that it may take the team around 1-2 years to fully live up to everyones expectations, but that fans won't be patient enough and start souring on the team. I hope this doesnt lead to a loss in ticket sales and an eventual departure from Houston. ( might be getting ahead of myself on that one).
But basically what I'm saying is while I truly believe this team is very talented and capable of doing some damage, that it may take some more time and ask everyone to have faith and remain patient. Let's not make this any tougher for the team then it already is.
Other then that, can't wait for the season to start and see this team out there ready to go, should be a fun year. GO TEXANS
