There is a type of camaraderie among forum members that keeps many of us coming back.
yeah, we all share a common interest in an entertainment medium, but ultimately, it's the conversations and shared ups & downs of being fans that keep us active.
A lot of folks here do not disagree with you. The Texans are a dumpster fire, Watson is a diva, and Cal is a halfwit. The Texans might never amount to much. Who knows?
So it's not some kind of deep faith or belief in the Houston Texans that keeps us going. It's really simple what does: love for pro football and friendship.![]()
You'll be back more than you know.....everyone loves watching a train wreck.I respect that, and do miss some of the comradery but I just can't...with this team anymore. I wish you all best wishes and lots of luck. And I may continue to drop by here or there but I severed the emotional bond to this team, and as mentioned the last straw was the total mishandling of Watson. When something that should be fun becomes nothing but consistent aggravation and stress, and is no longer fun....it's time to sever ties.
I don't see myself ever being a Texans fan again...unless Cal sells the team AND the Preacher is gone. I'll be dead first most likely!
I haven’t watched a Texans game since 51-7.
My therapist says that’s why some of the voices went away.
Since you asked, the victory was tainted by the BBQ sandwich I ordered at the game. They brought it without BBQ sauce. Who eats a BBQ sandwich without BBQ sauce? Is no sauce a COVID thing? I didn't say anything because I was so stunned.Anything changed with a win?
Tell you what else, the lines for concessions were LONG! And that’s because the stadium wasn’t even full. Took me forever to walk from section 540 to the north end zone at halftime. Can’t imagine the crowds if this team starts winning and gets fans back. They need to get that worked outSince you asked, the victory was tainted by the BBQ sandwich I ordered at the game.

You are being impacted just not as much by the win. Hopefully they can get the crowded lines corrected before people start showing back up in larger numbers.Tell you what else, the lines for concessions were LONG!

Hopefully, it was bad. Buddy of mine waited 20 minutes in line trying to get something for his kid. I don’t buy food at the stadium, I just feel bad for the folks that do. It shouldn’t take that long for stuff that’s already made, most of it anyway. I buy my 3 beers from the beer guy, no lines.You are being impacted just not as much by the win.

Not necessarily because of the win. It only reinforced what I already believed. We're not the only bad team in the NFL.Anything changed with a win?
I think this still sums me up. This may be the worst team in the league--most of the pundits seem to think so--but I've got hope that Culley, Caserio, and Smith will be able to put something on the field that's at least mediocre. I'm not expecting this to be a modern-day fun-to-watch shoot-out team. I expect us to go old school and try to turn every game into a slugfest to try to grind out wins. And I'm OK with that. I don't need a bunch of pretty wins, as long as we get some wins.

Not being satisfied up 20-7 and allowing his offense to try to score with less than a minute left in the half is different than O'Brien, and every other HC we've seen on the Texans sideline. Some of that Andy Reid influence was showing with Culley.I saw something in Culley that is a nice change from the O'Brien attitude we endured for several years.

QFT... our past coaches would try to run the clock out with 6 minutes left in the half.Not being satisfied up 20-7 and allowing his offense to try to score with less than a minute left in the half is different than O'Brien, and every other HC we've seen on the Texans sideline.

At least they won't be an 0-17 team?
I liked that they came out ready to play, and I saw something in Culley that is a nice change from the O'Brien attitude we endured for several years.
I'm a long-haul fan, so any perspective I mumble about a single game, season, or even front office is just part of being a fan until I die. You take the good with the bad, and that means there will be ups and downs and highs and lows. Folks just seem to focus on your lows and then hold you to it, but that's human nature, I guess.
Did you see him arguing with the ref about Collins’ OPI?He's got a very 'awe shucks' sort of demeanor in press conferences, but I saw a fire in his eyes on the sideline.
Well said.
But that not being 0-17 is pretty nice.
I didn’t watch a game last year because of 51-7. Didn’t want to watch the train wreck any more.
However, Culley made the game entertaining and fun again.
I will try to watch this Sunday’s game.
I want to see if Culley can get his team to play again or did we just win our Super Bowl?

I expected to see the what the Jags did. Multiple illegal formations & shifts, an offensive game plan with no cohesive thread.... just throw it around & see what happened.After this screwed-up offseason, I half expected a flat team to run out on the field and just go through the motions. I did not see any of that on Sunday. They came to play hard.
I am the same fan i was before the win. My love of the game doesn't ebb and flow with the Texans. I love football & tho i root for my home team to win, im realistic in what i expect from them. But the fact is for me, i'm watching on Thursdays whoever plays, I'm watching Mondays whoever plays & on Sunday's i'm watching all the games. Texans at 12, the evening fox game at 3 pm and then the Sunday night game. In between all that, i'm watching NFL network game highlights & commentary from around the league.
I wonder if Cully will get an extension this week?Nailed it. He's got a very 'awe shucks' sort of demeanor in press conferences, but I saw a fire in his eyes on the sideline. I didn't know what to expect, and that was great to see.
And I like that he's clearly being a HC with his attention fully in the game, not buried in a Denny's menu while the other half of the game is being run by another coordinator. I don't fault guys like Reid that do it, but our last two head coaches were basically the OCs in HC form and this is a nice change.
And it was great to see how truly excited the players were for getting Culley's first win. You can tell they really like and respect him.
I ebb and flow with stupidity. Hopefully that coach took it with him although I don't want to see him screw up Alabama.I am the same fan i was before the win.

Why do you think Tyrod was scrambling so much?unless Christian getting QB killed and he didn't give up a sack Sunday & neither did others against a good defense.
Colts are rolling, we get blown out there. I can see if TT plays better like he did early in the season and before the rain, we can beat the Jets and Seattle, but this team is just developing players and seeing what vets make sense to keep to lead the new stable coming in. The team still plays hard, and the defense when given some breaks by the offense is looking better coached. The offensive scheme and coaching needs an overhaul along with talent infusion, defense could get next level with talent. So I can see how next year could be a fun year to watch strides, but I have no dreams of being a contender until 2023 minimumIf Taylor remains healthy and even slightly better as he improved from his return to beating Titans, can Texans beat Jets? A good victory over NYJ and then upset Colts as they did Tennessee would put them in good place. Seattle in 3 weeks as a W is strongly possible as Seahawks have 2 losses in a row coming up on WFT who have beat TB and Panthers back to back. 3 wins then up against Jags could make this season a bit more interesting.
Tunsil could be back but I wouldn't play him unless Christian getting QB killed and he didn't give up a sack Sunday & neither did others against a good defense.

Sparkling Success: Texans' Upset Fueled By Clean Football
As David Culley predicted, Houston improved dramatically in penalties, turnovers and sacks allowedwww.si.com
I don't want to get too excited but a healthier TT with more confidence in his line and perhaps even Burkett?
No and no.2 wins baby! Any changes on earlier thoughts per thread topic?
We gonna win out rest of season ?![]()
For the record, we play the Colts at home.Colts are rolling, we get blown out there...
Thanks, we still get blown out. I think they take the division and are a hard out if Leonard stays healthy (ankle) on defense and they keep running the ball like they have been keeping Wentz to just do enough to convert now and then. Winning formula and Titans are a mash squad. We have a physical division so aligned with all those saying go hard in OL and DL next years. Need some big nasties, and some second level guys, and a real QB, and a RB, and... Damn, long ways to goFor the record, we play the Colts at home.
I know what you are saying but that is what TT does and one of reasons we got him. He extends play but O'line was better IMO despite having the new guy at center.Why do you think Tyrod was scrambling so much?

The faces change. I remain the same.Refreshing This Thread as we should have the new head coach soon. Any changes in your previous thoughts or new ones?
Listen to the man.IM always going to be a fan
Yes, my position has changed. I'm much more interested. Hopefully it stays that way after the draft. After every draft O'Brien was a part of I felt largely uninspired, and confused, honestly. I think the Warring pick nearly broke me.Re-up:
Watson trade, FA signings and Tunsil reworked. Your position changed or are you now willing to voice opinion?
