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.

Many fans focus on Wins and post-season success. I'm currently happy to see a competitive product on the field. I went to my only NFL game last year and spent what I consider to be quite a bit of money for "entertainment" at Reliant. I saw the Ravens completely destroy us. It was really no fun being there.

If the Texans can put a product on the field like I saw last week, I'd be willing to pay to watch it. Granted, I would like to see them win, but playing sound fundamental football is a good start.

Roy, you make entirely too much sense to be on this board. I agree with you 100%. I have WANTED to watch all 4 quarters for 5 of our 6 games. IMO, that is good football entertainment, and that is all we can ask for.

We have both been "beaten up" in the sense that our Houston teams seem to constantly put us on a roller coaster, then drop us from dizzy heights. I have been through every one of those games and those years with you PK. But I refuse to submit to apathy. The Texans nearly gave me a heart attack in todays SF game, but we did pull it out, so I will continue to be that glass half full fella.

I think 9-7 may get us a wild card if all the other teams continue to play inconsistant football like us.
