So what?

Expect more of the same until we figure out how to stop it. We might have to bring a TE into the FB postion to help out on that.

Or we do a better job of disguising when we are going to run and we keep trying to score points even when we have a lead. We put SF on their heels with the passing game in the 1st half and the blitzing LBs were not that big of a concern. It's part of the reason why OD had such a great day. We simply should have done more of it in the 2nd half.

Dang it is not even Christmas yet, and the Grinch has already stolen yours. Be of good cheer. The Texans are turning it around. The problems you enumerate are at this moment being fixed. Frank Bush has finally gotten the attention of his defensive guys, and they are playing some shutout football part of the last 3 games. If we are 5-3, or even 6-3 in a few weeks you will be feeling a lot better, and you will, Santa told me so!

I bet if we get blown out this Sunday vs SF you wont be singing the same tune. I think that is the point that Painkiller is trying to get across. We need to show some consistancy. After every win people say "we've turned the corner". Its going to take more than 1 win in a row or a .500 record for some of us to jump on that bandwagon.

Jeez, can't you guys see any humor at all? I was just trying to keep a positive attitude on the game. But, now that I think about it, I don't think Crabtree is ready to break out, and I think our run defense has stiffened. And NO, I don't think we will be blown out Sunday or anytime soon from now on!!

Someone else gets it. For me to get to this state, remember I am the tea drinker here, I have to have been beaten up a long time.

Beaten up? Dang, better go see a doctor or call the cops or something....

I learned a long time ago, I have no control over what the team does. Zip, nada, zilch. Let me repeat: I have no control over what the team does.

Sure, a part of me feels badly when they lose just as a part of me is elated when they win. But as far as helping the team, all I can offer is my support.

With this team, I'm seeing improvement. I'm seeing some things I've never seen in a Texan team before. So this gives me hope that they can make something of this season.

I think it's about expectations. I'm comfortable with .500. Not happy, just comfortable. We all know what the alternative is like....

A winning season would be a good start. Playoffs would be nice. Advancing in the playoffs would be even better. Going to the Super Bowl would be great. Winning the Super Bowl would be super.

Not pointing at you PK, but some people are never happy. Some people won't be happy until the Lombardi trophy is at Reliant and even then they would probably find something to bitch about....

Do you think you are the only one? Again, I was just trying to throw a more positive light on the game and the season.

No I am not the only one to be beaten up. But I have been one of the only positive voices in the past, pointing to the growth and strong youth on this team when everyone else wanted Super Bowl or bust.

When I wrote the beaten up line, I did not like the tone of the that sentence but was to lazy to change it. So understand I am not the only one of us "beaten up on", I am not the only one chirped off.

I might be the only one to say so what, but I doubt it, the apathy is growing in this town at a faster rate than the past.
