I am so beyond pissed right now, not just for the loss, but the way those idiot fans rubbed it in our faces in our crib.

That is the worst thing in the world. The fact that a whole hell of lot of Cowboy fans actually came to our stadium and felt comfortable cheering for the Cowboys. I couldn't tell we were playing at home with all the cheering.

The Cowboys have the history, and there are a heckuva lot of people in the Houston area from other parts of the state. Because of that history, they've got the fans that don't live right in the Houston area. I was always a fan of the Cowboys when they weren't playing Houston until the Jerry Jones regime started. Before that, the team handled itself like Tom Landry. The arrogance really seemed to me to show up later. I guess there are a lot of Houston fans nowadays that hate the Cowboys, but they can remember the disappointment of the Ice Bowl game in Green Bay. I'm one of them. When the Texans win the big games, their fan base outside of Houston will grow. They sure didn't do anything yesterday to grow that base. All they did yesterday was raise my blood pressure.

ticket companies are a big part of the problem in this regard. I bet that at least 10% of the stadium is owned by ticket companies. so when a big game like this comes there will always be a healthy number of opposing team fans.

Here's some video from the Cowboy game that highlights much of the Texans problem on defense... their lack of adjustment to max protection:
