Here we go with the "I'm a real fan, and you're not" diatribe.
I'm not advocating giving up on this team. No way, Jose. This team, sooner or later, will fire Capers and get moving in the REAL direction it should. It's a matter of time. And when it comes, you'll see less of the angry comments that you're not liking right now.
Just STOP trying to "wish" a turn-around for this team. This team pulling a win out of its rear is the absolutley WORST thing that could happen. I know that sounds sick of me to say that, I know it does. But listen to me: Anything that causes McNair to think that it was "Just Chris Palmer" and now everything is OK....is the same thinking by some on this board when they said, "It's JUST the preseason! Don't worry 'bout it! Hakuna Matata!"
I think your silver-lining approach, and "chicken little...sky is falling" comments are you trying to pit yourself as somebody who is smarter than everyone else in the room. As if we should all just have a bell go off in our head at your pep rally remarks, and think, "Oh, gee. He's right! We're going to the playoffs."
Show some sort of objectivity. That's all I am asking right now of most people who are bashing posters like me, accusing us of being sick and twisted and wanting to see this team get defeated.
Yes, in one sense I DO want us to lose. I want us to lose to the point that McNair cleans house, even if it means firing Casserly, too. I don't know what I am most upset with right now: Carr's happy feet, Buchanon's dance of the matador, AJ's butter fingers, drive-killing penalties on offense, drive-sustaining penalties on defense, our special teams needing oxygen from running more than our offense and defense combined, Palmer, Capers, Joppru, Hollings, Swinton, Sloan Thomas, on and on and on.
So, I think it's OK to say, "YES! The sky isn't falling. It fell last year when we played Cleveland and lost big time at the end of the year...at home."
Since then, it's been a non-stop "DOn't worry! Be happy!" fest propagated by the Texans P.R. Dept. and willing homers on this board who blindly beat to death anybody that dared to say there are some red flags that need to be addressed. "Oh, no no no no no! Everything is jussssssssst right. Have faith."
You know how they cook lobsters? They slowwwwwwwwwly turn up the heat over a long period of time so that the Lobster doesn't notice he's getting boiled to death. That's kinda' what it feels like to most fans right now. We're just now seeing that things were wrong for a long time. And those that tried to warn of it were torched and branded a "traitor". Period.
I don't mean it personally against you, just please see where some of the anger is coming from. Put down the pom-poms, just for a day, and ask yourself if maybe us losing would maybe speed up the healing process a little bit. For me, a win here and there just puts McNair back to sleep for the rest of this year, and maybe even the next.
