Creaming the National Media

by WreckNTexan on Sep 16, 2011 7:19 PM CDT

Understandably the Houston Texans are the favorite to pick one week, then trash the next week.

They have been the dark horse; darling, cinderella, long shot to make it to the playoffs for countless seasons.

Being a Texans fan that no longer resides in Houston, I get the pleasure of hearing the -~~Fucking worse-~~ A team commentators ~~-ever-~~ ! I can't even begin to count the times where I would rather shove my own foot in my ear, then listen to what is being said over the broadcast during a Texans game.

Excuse while I throw up over the thought.

...

Ok, sorry where was I.

Yes national media, even as we learned the Colts would be with out Peyton'Super'Manning had the Colts still winning the division..... THE COLTS STILL WINNING THE DIVISION...... What!?!? SMH.

Ya so what if we are know as perennial chokers. " Last Year we started out 4-2"

Are we going to be so damn pessimistic about a team that has changed so much culture in the last 12 months? Preseason might not count in the final score category. Yet, I can tell you the teams that looked good in preseason, looks damn sharp week one, and visa versa.

So even after just one game I have a different feeling about this season then any previous season. Granted there was a warm and fuzzy feeling last year as well, seeing how well we had played the final 3 games the year before. In what many of us thought were ruining our draft selection. Hello JJ Watt. "Mario Blanco"

I suppose that when the national media leans on a guy named Pancakes for "relevant" Houston Texans news, they acquire particles of food and the smell of maple syrup that they can't escape for the rest of the day. How could your team be taken seriously.

So with my final adue.

Again, that was meant with respect. <— not sarcasm

I just don’t worry about ‘em, you know? As long as we have the bi-polar Comicle covering this team, I don’t expect…well, anything, really.

At least

you have the Comicle, I live in Cokeboys territory (San Antonio) and the media doesn’t know that Houston has a football team. to keep up with the Texans I have to rely on Texans.com, and BRB. so glad I found this.

did I type that outloud? oops.

Also bad is the Austin American Statesman

I personally don’t read the paper, but a friend claimed they didn’t even bother to do a Texans pre-season article, but they did for the Cokeboys. Houston is two hours away. Dallas three.

Arlington. 10 minutes from the stadium. Only time I hear anything about the Texans is when they do a quick recap of the weekend scores. Thank the creator(s) for BRB.

Agree completely on the coverage in San Antonio

I was watching a Titans game (yeah, yeah I know, but I followed them in the years H-town did not have a team) and the game had playoff implications…..game had less than a minute left, Tenn was going to the LOS to attempt the game winning FG (make it and win, they go to playoffs; miss it and lose, no playoffs)……and the fucking TV station cut to the fucking cowturds game that WASN’T DUE TO EVEN KICKOFF FOR ANOTHER 15 FUCKING MINUTES!!!!!!!!

Just my $.02

NFLN gives us some props at times

One of the guys on there talked about how he thinks our offense is the best in the league and they all picked for us to beat Miami. To get real respect though we have to beat 2 of the 3 (hopefully sweep) NO, Pit, or Bal

Well I think we get 2 out of 3 at least

I still say Pittsburgh does not match up well against us

and so far NO defense has taken a vacation

This from Playbook:

“I don’t think the Texans offense CAN get shut down.”

I loved that, needless to say.

by JBal on Sep 17, 2011 11:14 AM CDT up reply actions

I think the only reason

houston’s offense isn’t on everyones list as #1 Is because tom brady is healthy. But houston has an offense that will kill you running or throwing.

I've said it before...

and I’ll keep saying it as long as it stays true — the only team that can stop the Texans offense is the Texans. The truth! No bonehead mistakes = Texans offense is unstoppable.

No boneheaded mistakes or slow starts = Unstoppable offense.

All 3

Those 3 games will determine what kind of team we have. In all three games I believe to be close games. The way we played the ravens last year, we get the Steelers are home (thankfully) and our relevance to what the saints like to do (seeing how we practiced with each other for 3 straight years), makes us candidates to pull a sweep out.

I guess my only 2 complaints are

1) The only thing that I’ve really heard from the majority of the media is how bad the Colts are (were, will be… without Manning [to whom I oddly enough wish an expedient recovery to]). It would be kinda nice to hear somebody say “I don’t know, with the addition of Wade and some player additions and scheme adjustments, this COULD (my emphasis) be a great year for Houston” Not saying we are hoisting the Lombardi this February, not saying we win the conference, just that it could be a good year for us.

But also in retrospect, we have to prove that. I understand. But Optimisim often can be contagious. As can severe Thunderbird, Maddog, insert favorite non sodium hypochlorite beverage, induced comas.

2) I hope whoever developed and whoever approved the Operetic JG Wentworth, as well as (not to offend any of our esteemed legal professionals hopefully) Ike Attorney.com commercials that run about every 25 seconds on every station (at the same damn time mind you) meets a horrible, horrible doom sometime in the near future.
