Please, Mike Kerns…now I’m worried that your worried that the National Media is not worried when they should be worried…

The media’s opinion of the Texans… Not so much.

the Texans would make the playoffs… (I think it was Marshall Faulk … I was listening to Total Access on the radio on my way home and it sounded like him lol)

Playoffs? PLAYOFFS?
Are YOU kidding Me Playoffs?

Even if our defense improves, I don’t see us getting much past the low 20s or high teens, and that simply is not good enough. Unless the Colts and Tits take serious steps backwards, the Texans are going to be fighting for their lives to get a wild card spot.

i was here for ike…

In my opinion…one thing you have to do in your life is go through a hurricane…its an experience

Division favorite? C’mon. Nothing would please me more, but there’s no way the Texans should be mentioned as the class of the AFC South until further notice. I am cautiously optimistic about posting a winning record, and I dream of the playoffs. That’s about as far as we should rationally allow ourselves to go.

Now, if we’ve got a two or three game lead in early December, go nuts. Until then, I’ll hold my water.

I really don’t care what the national media think, but I would like for the Texans to get more coverage and have it be somewhat objective. I realize it’s the nature of today’s media to declare a guy Greatest Player Ever before the draft or to declare a team the de facto Super Bowl Champs during the pre-season, but therein lies the rub. If the national boys start proclaiming the Texans as playoff bound and they don’t get there, we’ll never hear the end of it. They’ll be perennial losers in their mind from then on. Again, I don’t care about the love or the hate, I just want more objective coverage. It seems like they’re starting to get some of that, but all this pre-season national media hype could screw that up.

Who gives a shit what the media say?

Answer:

Not me. At least in this case.

Lifted from John McClain:

By the numbers

1-5 Texans’ record against the Indianapolis Colts under Gary Kubiak.

1-5 Texans’ record against the Tennessee Titans under Kubiak.

4-2 Texans’ record against the Jacksonville Jaguars under Kubiak.

5-4 Texans’ home record against AFC South teams under Kubiak.

Until we fix this..forget about the Playoffs. I think we can beat them this year, but they need to prove it on the field.

We’re young, and we’ve grown every season under Koobs. Yes, health is paramount. We were 8-8 last year. We were very close to punching thru. If not for Jared Allen, we might have been in last year. If not for Ike ;) we might have been in. If not for Sage’s 4th Quarter breakdown…sheesh, one play here or there, folks. Law of averages. I say we make good on 2009.

Rejoice! We’re not going backwards from 8-8 that fast. We will contend for the playoffs/division. At the very least.

Some in the media were calling for us to reach the playoffs LAST year. Damn right. We’ve now come a long way, from our very humble beginnings. It was a good prediction. We had (and have) a great young team. We’re getting there, hopefully we’ll be there this time.

Jared Allen and Ike are good excuses. So is being an infant organization. But that’s all they are: excuses. It’s pro football, it’s a humbling expirience. So what? You pick yourselves up, and you try again.

But I do see us improving even more. I see us going places. I see us shocking the world this year. The Southern Division is still tough. But Indy is a year older. They have problems of their own. The Tits will not duplicate the year they had in ’08 (except for when they play here, that was fun). Tits will most certainly regress. Jacksonville needs more time, they have too many issues.

I agree with Lopez, for once. We could win this division.

And we’re certainly much better off, than Dallas is!

just see some football!!!! We get at least 20 games and I want to savor every play!!
