Snakebit my ass, they just fing suck.

We're now the Texastros. How long before McNair tries to sue the former owner?

The 2-9 Texans a new standard of suck.

Like a snake eating its own tail.

And seriously, knock it off with the Astros comparisons. They don't apply for reasons I have explained and then some. I hate the Astros and would love for them to lose 120 games next year but the idea that there is some organizational equivalency between the Astros and the Texans is idiotic.

I've been intellectually rooting for them to lose every game since the SF Sunday night disaster. I figured losses helped us in two ways, draft position and (more importantly) getting Kubiak fired. If you could have asked me for my dream scenario at that point it was 2-14 even over a 9 game winning streak and an 11-5 miracle. It was more than obvious at that point (if not years earlier, I guess I'm a slow learner), that this team was never winning with Kubiak.

But even intellectually rooting against them has not protected me from being continuously disappointed by how terrible we are. We just lost to a team who starts about 1 guy I would sign over the counterpart we have on our current depleted roster (ILB). We are just pathetic.

This is exactly where I am. I sort of will the team to lose and then am pissed when they inevitably do.

I'd sign Scobee, too.

[painekiller]

I also want the entire coaching staff gone, both sides of the ball. I'm on the fence about the GM, could go either way on him.

I want that guy gone first. But I'm almost certain he's not going anywhere.

Hell, at this point I'll be surprised if the owner has the balls to fire the head coach.
