This is fun.


Say anything you want to about the talent of the opposition but this is 100% true. This was a fun game to watch.

I don't think I ever saw BOB with a smile interacting with his players. I've seen Culley do that a handful of times already.

Texans are going to go 7-9, miss the playoffs, and get the 18th pick aren't they…?

That would be the most Texan thing to do.

This team of journeymen and nobodies looks better coached fundamentally than anything BOB put on the field in recent years.


Sounds like a group of guys that just want to play ball. An underrated concept these days, one certainly not appreciated by Watson.

Rockets had that perfected for a while, would get the 8 seed all the time, lose in the first round, get mediocre draft picks and never really improve

Totally irrelevant fact about the Jacksonville game:

Taylor: (9/12) - 289 passing / 40 rushing
Watson: (11/8) - 281 passing / 50 rushing

This thread is so much more fun when no one takes the season or team seriously. Im afraid its gonna turn back to its old serious self when this team gets to 4+ wins.

Yeah I'm sure we will all be back to our normal Texan commentary soon, but that doesn't change the fact that there was plenty to be proud of today as a Texans fan. I honestly haven't enjoyed watching this team this much in several years. Mark Ingram is a professional, he was smashing his fist in the ground bc he he slightly missed a chance to break off a long run. One of the dbacks was clawing like a mad man trying to recover a fumble as it went out of bounds. Just felt like the emotion they were showing was real, not some corporate mandated show that BoBs crew seemed to push. They know better than we do that this season is hopeless, but they played like they had a chip on their shoulder. They looked like they were enjoying it. Never really see that under BoB.

How long until Urban's next cardiac episode causing him to momentarily retire?

Not long. He's had negative press for a while now and just got blown out by likely the least talented team in the league.

This thread going back to what it was last year would be dumb, everyone at this point should know what this is about, tearing them down because they don't play like this every week, is ignorance, just saying.

I'm not tearing any one down. The vibe in this thread is worlds apart than years past. I like it. I was not able to watch the game but like the poster above said, people onbhere were having fun instead of taking everything too seriously. It makes for an enjoyable read.

As I watched the game, I was surprised how much fun I had watching the players have fun.

Sorry, wasn't direct at you, I was making a general statement overall. Accept what this team is, don't expect much, celebrate when they succeed, but when they are what is expected, not worth the energy to tear them down, at this point.

My bad for not being clear in my response to you.

I have to believe a middle aged guy wearing a complete football uniform is doing so, at least in part, in jest. The guy wearing the core value Jersey tucked into his khakis I can't say the same about. For that reason, core value gets the nod for most pathetic.

You're giving NFL fans too much credit.

It's the same weird deal like why a grown man has to go to a game decked out in body paint with fake horns on his head and spiky shoulder pads etc etc.

Just go and be a normal grown ass man and watch the game.

I went to a Texans game a few years back in Boston. There was a group there, called the Traveling Texans that go to road games. Some of these guys saved all year to be able to afford to attend a road game. I've got no problem with super fans, it's something they clearly enjoy. More power to them.

A lot of these NFL superfan guys definitely crossed a bridge too far though.

That not who I'm talking about. Nothing wrong at all with saving up and taking an town trip once a year.

But there's a difference in that and this...

Why does a grown man needs a costume to go to a football game? It's fckn weird.

I understand nfl fans perfectly well. I attended virtually every home game for the first 15 years of this franchise. All the ones I've talked to don't take themselves too seriously. They treat it like football Halloween.

Yeah, I used to think it was weird that they dress up, but then I realized I have a million things to worry about other than what other grown men/women are wearing. If they enjoy it, all for it. Not for me, but I'm sure some of the things I enjoy others might find weird.

Now, fans that start fights in the stands on the other hand... Those are the ones that need to grow up.

I'm a huge sports fan and love going to Texans and Astros road games (I don't dress up and look stupid).

Usually try and hit a Texans road game each year at great stadiums for long weekends, have been to Green Bay, Seattle, Denver, and KC. Great experience ls at all.

12.5 point dogs to the Browns to open Week 2.

I've never worn more than a jersey or a hat or shirt to support my teams, but why so down on other people's passions? I'm sure we all have something we love that we throw ungodly amounts of money into that other people see and think we're nuts.

I think there's a difference between passionate fan and folks like this. Now, its no skin off my back if these people want to do this, but it is a little weird.

I'm not defending dorks who do dorky things by any means… but what's the difference between this and something like Comicon?
