Did Michelle Tafoya not hear about the Dodgers fan that got stabbed by the Giants fan recently? THAT is disgusting, not a few dumb fans burning jerseys.

Ok, so then it is fine for people to burn the American flag then right? Or the Texas flag? That is all good with you and is not disrespectful, despicable, and disgraceful?
No Schaub's jersey is not comparable to those two flags, but what it demonstrates is that it does do damage. To the Texans fan base who cannot take a loss without acting like children when they don't get their way. Like Schaub said. He couldn't care less. That his goal was to play so well that the guy buys another jersey, only this time to wear, not burn.
As far as I am concerned if you burn my clubs colors for any reason. You are not worthy of being in the club!

I understand your point, but at the end of the day it's a very minor point and unless the time in which it took someone to load the thread could have been better used to save the world, it wasn't time that was very dearly missed, I should think.
The thread title should have been more informative, I agree, but it's certainly nothing to get upset about (which you didn't, but I wasn't addressing you to begin with).

Give me a phu**ing break. A fan burning a players jersey is no different than burning ones season tickets. They paid for it and therefore they can do with it as they choose. What pisses me off are fans that think that any harsh criticism if a player or team means they are not 'true' fans.
And as for burning an American flag yes I think it's distespectful but it is a firm of free speech. Do bimbos doing keg stands while Wearing an American flag bikini offend you too. Tough it's also a form of free speech.

Hahahaha pretty good, but not really any substance there. Who's feelings are really hurt anyway? I suggest it is not Schaub fans. We are just defending him from the cry baby fair weather fans who blame everything on Schaub.
Nitrofish

First of all how can you compare an American Flag Bikini which shows respect and pride to burning an American flag? Apples and oranges there dude. I think I would be ok with someone burning their season tickets because it does not blame it all on one player, but rather the whole team. But this singling out Schaub stuff is ridiculous.
You get pissed off because deep down you know they are right, and you are not a true fan. And what has been going on since the loss to the Hawks is allot worse than just some harsh criticism, so do not give me that bovine excrement. The fact that Schaub needed two police officers to escort him to the post game interview means it is allot worse than harsh criticism. People like that are the cry babies who can't take some criticism of their fanhood. You are the one touting free speech, as long it is not about whether you are a true fan or not right? #Hypocrite

Comrade Nitrofish is right, we must crush the Texans/Schaub non-believers! Unity comrades, unity.
Let's come together and sing in appreciation of Kubiak and Schaub, our all knowing leaders.

LOL and how am I a bandwagon fan again? Because I don't give a **** if some idiot wants to burn their Schaub jersey? Doesn't hurt me or my pocketbook any. Is the team going to suffer because of it? Will it have any impact on the Texans peformance going forward? I think it's you that needs to get off your high horse.
Nitrofish

You are the one identifying yourself as being a band wagon fan. I never called you one. It was you who came in posting how someone with a join date of 2011 must be a band wagon fan because your join date was sooner as if somehow you are a real super fan because you have been posting here since 2004.
Of course you think it is me who needs to get off my high horse, because I am disagreeing with you, and people like you, so of course I am the bad guy. Not the popular guy while you all gather your pitch forks and torches to mob that horrible QB Schaub while I point out how wrong you are to be blaming one guy for a loss.

Pretty sure you were the one calling people fair weather fans and not true Texans fans. I just found it ironic that someone who only started posting here when the Texans were enjoying success would call out anyone's fandom. And where in this thread or any other on this board have you seen me "blame one guy for a loss." So yes, you need to get off your high horse.

It has some merit when you have someone on the board questioning other's fandom and loyalty to the team. Fan's being unhappy with Matt Schaub and venting doesn't make them bandwagon fans or not true fans. Would you agree?

I'm not blaming everything on Schaub and I think people threatening violence against him are ignorant fools. But up until the last game I thought he could get the job done and obviously I was wrong. Schaub makes very bad decisions and the very worst moments way too often. He is inconsistent. But you are right I must not be a true fan like you are since the back of your Schaub jersey says #1 Schaub fan. Make sure your tv isn't running games from 2010 because what people see right now is a QB that is a terrible decision maker. Unless your 10 years old if be embarrassed if I truly believed that anyone who criticizes Schaub is not a fan of the team. I endured Carr ragone rosenfels and ill endure Schaub. I hope he can get his head out of his @$$ and play well instead of screwing up but I doubt it. If he does ill be happy to say I was wrong about him. But you keep bouncing your Pom poms and wearing your knee high red boots and worship your boy Schaub, ill just keep hoping the team plays well inspite of him.

All this name calling is silly and rather juvenile. We're ALL Texans fans (except for the odd guest) or we would be doing something different with our time.
Because I don't see things the way other fans see them doesn't make them lesser fans, just fans with a different outlook.
This my way or the highway attitude reminds me of Congress. Ugh...

Screw you, you old fart... Who's older, you or Thorn????!?
Speak louder sonny thorn can't hear too well. Just kidding thorn.
I've been saying for years Schaub is a better QB than Flacco in the regular season. Flacco's biggest issue is that he's so inconsistent, traditionally more inconsistent than Matt.
That was until this year. They've both been consistently bad, with flashes of greatness.
In Matt's defense, he's been playing some pretty good defenses. We've already played 3 of the top 6 pass rushes to date (according to MMBQ) & SF is #4.
Our OL is ranked 28th. Schaub's going to have his work cut out for him.

They both are bad although one is worse than the other. Games they are and the sun will still rise tomorrow. Seasons are more than one game. GO TEXANS

All good points. Like I said its not all on him but some of his play is terrible. That is what is frustrating about him, against SD he was awesome aside from the interception at his own end zone and the first half against Seattle he was great until he screwed the pooch.
I don't know how they count the pressure.
It looks to me like they simply add all the pressures and put it against the O-line. We don't know if they include the pressures allowed by the TEs and RBs.
We don't know if they count free blitzers that the QB himself has to account for (like those on naked bootlegs).
Also, some of these pressure might be the result of the QB running into them rather than allowed by the blockers.
I think it would have been better if they just call it something like "Pressure against".

I've read this on several occasions and something to me doesn't add up except perhaps for dramatics which they certainly had had enough of already. After game pressers aren't held in the parking lot. They're in a dadgum secured building. At least it should be secure since I've got to go through everything short of a finger-wave to get through the turnstiles.
So legit question. Why the police escort?

These are the only reports that I've seen that brings it up.
[Notaro is a Denver sports talk host]
You don't know if the first source is just making a sarcastic comment. And the second one speaks to one cop, that usually accompanies Kubiak routinely. So I'm not thinking that Schaub's under anymore of a threat than the verbal attacks that he receive in stadium while he was playing so well.

I am totally rooting for an injury at this point. Kubiak is too stubborn and stupid to make a change that's necessary.

You may say I’m a dreamer but I’m not the only one
Honestly don't want the guy to get hurt but his career should have been over 7 days ago and I don't see how the hell we've got a shot at achieving this seasons goals now, and it's down to his play.
People don't really want him to get hurt here Gary, they are just expressing their frustration at the fact the Kubiak refuses to man up and move on for the good of the team.
I don't agree with Kubiaks "it's on me" line. It isn't him stinking it up out there. It's his QB, and I don't think he had the reason to change QB until Schaub went full kamikaze on his career this season.
If he continues to take that line to the detriment of the team, he surely has to be in the firing line himself. Make the hard choice, you've got something worse than a QB controversy on your hands here, it not a controversy it a clear ineptitude staring you straight in the face.
Find out what you've got on TJ Yates, let Keenum finish out some games whether ahead or behind, suss out how the depth chart looks going forward, and in the likely event that neither is the answer, draft in the offseason ad have experience sat behind.
It's pretty obvious to me, shame kubes can't give up on his guy.
McNair allowed the "it's on me" line to pull kubes through after 2010, I really hope it isn't allowed again.
