My Heart Hurts


Wow. Where was the Defense during the first Half? *I know the interception cost us the game, but if we had held the score more, we would have been in more in the game. Why does it take us so long to get started. MAN I Hurt. 

 

I Love the Texans but they are just as Hurtful as the Oilers USED to be. WHy cant we destroy a team for a change?

 

If San Antonio is EVER to become a FAN BASE, we need to start winning on days when the Cowgirls are close to NOT winning. We must win on days they win and win on games they dont. 

 

My 2 Cents.

What are you talking about??

People in SA arent going to switch allegiances just because the Texans win some days that the cowgirls do not. If that is the case than I dont want them as Texans fans because that is the true definition of bandwagon fans, a.k.a. shitty fans.

And by the way, we didnt lose because of the pick 6, we lost because the Texans didnt arrive in AZ until the second half began, not just the Defense, the ENTIRE TEAM.

a pick is one thing

but their offense could not get 10 yards on 3 downs in the second half. If it was anything but a pick six, I think we win.

The reason we lost, yes, the entire team sucked in the first half. But contributing to that reason is that big ass play, and the missed TD on four f-in tries on the last drive.

What is the main reason? Doesn’t matter, we still lose.

One play doesn't win or lose a game

Otherwise why even play the entire game, just start the game at the 2 minute warning in the 4th quarter. Plays at the end of the game are more obvious when looking back at the game, but it’s taking the easy way out to credit wins and losses to those few last plays.

The crazy thing is, that was actually a pretty good game yesterday. We lost the game at the end, but overall we didn’t play poorly we just lost a close game. As frustrating as it is, it’s part of the game. I’m just more the sort to leave a game like that one thinking “that was a hell of a game” and “sucks that we didn’t pull out the win” as an afterthought instead of only seeing the L and let that lessen the experience of watching a really good, competetive game between two pretty good NFL teams. The Texans’ players played well enough to win the game, and coming back from 21-0 to make a failed goaline conversion at the end of the game matter is pretty remarkable in its own right.

We didn't play poorly?

Did you see the first half?

Easily the worst half of Texans football this year and potentiall since David Carr.

Coming from behind 3 Tds to tie the game is fine. Except that it means you played poorly and got down 3 tds to beginn with.

Again

That’s only taking portions of the game and adding them together to form the opinion that the Texans played poorly and beat themselves. Using that same approach I could take the positive plays and add them together and they’d look like a team of all pros. The fact is we had some good plays, some bad plays and in the end it was the Cardinals that beat us. Perfection only exists in our own minds, there’s going to be bad plays and mistakes made for every team in every single game. Pointing out said struggles doesn’t make for a poor showing, as there’s struggle every week (that’s why the game’s worth watching), you have to look at the game in its entirety. And in that game we struggled early going down 21-0 then had 3 consecutive TD drives in the 2nd half to get us right back in the game at the end. That INT wasn’t so much a bad throw or terrible playcall so much as their CB making an excellent jump on the route… which by the way he would have been chewed out for had he guessed wrong as it would have been almost an automatic TD. You can blame that play on Schaub, the playcall itself, or even the reciever who ran a pretty lazy route on the play, but the bottom line is it was the CB and the defense in general that made the play there. It’s not as if the Cardinals had perfect play from it’s players or even had the right playcall in every situation, because in the end perfection only exists in our own minds. In the end it was a fairly equal contest and came down literally to the last few plays in the game, the Texans didn’t beat themselves, Arizona did.

We don't want the San Antonio

bandwagon fans anyway. Let them root for cowgurls or whoever happens to be winning at the time. They aren’t real fans anyways.
