Thank You, BRB

PrintLate last night, Rivers' exquisitely crafted note of gratitude to Wade Phillips gave us an idea. For the next several days, we'll periodically be posting entries thanking various people who had a hand in making the Texans' 2011 season as enjoyable as it was. The season's over, which blows, but there's a lot to appreciate, and it's a loooooong offseason, so let's do take a minute to say thank you.
Since its inception in January of 2007, Battle Red Blog has seen five (5) Texans regular seasons. They've all been fun, even if some of them were fun in a misery-loves-company and oh-sweet-Mariah-please-make-it-stop way. 2011, however, was different. From the insanity that was the free agent frenzy back in July, through an emotional roller coaster of a regular season that saw your Houston Texans win their first division title, through the unfettered joy that was the first playoff victory in franchise history, to the disappointment that accompanied the reality that the ride ended yesterday in Baltimore, Texans fans just completed one helluva ride.
BRB chronicled it all, and that's because so many of you cared enough about the Texans to read, react, and share your feelings and analysis here. I've written it enough times that you're probably sick of reading it, but I'm going to do it again: BRB wouldn't be anything without everyone who reads and comments. It's a community in every sense of the word, and it's a privilege to be a part of it. Thank you (and you, and you, and you, and you, and even you) for making this site what it is.
I'd be remiss if I didn't specifically thank the guys who pen the always astoundingly excellent front page posts. BFD, MDC, Rivers, TDC, UT, Vega, and TGC: A million graciases (or is it "graciai"?).
The ride that was Houston's 2011 season may have come to a stop yesterday afternoon, but BRB will keep chugging along through the offseason. There will be plenty of free agency and draft speculation irrefutable analysis in the coming months, so stay tuned. It's gonna be fun.

Come on Jacoby recovered the fumble, it's not his fault what happen for the rest of the game.
It’s on the coaches from the fumble recovery.
you clearly haven't watched him his whole career.
He just kinda never really became anything. Always a big play here and there, and nothing else or consistent. Ill put it this way, he is not a player that is VITAL to this team by any means, and i don’t imagine ever looking back and thinking, “god i miss Jacoby” The muffed punt, was just icing on the cake.

Thank you to the BRB Staff
You guys (and gal) keep the machine churning so fans like us can comment on the greatest team ever. We can share our opinions, knowledge, experiences because you let us and because you harbor a community of acceptance. Thank you for all your hard work this season, and the last few seasons. We do pay attention and we do notice. Keep it up, and here’s to another great season in a few (ok, a bunch) of months.

I joined this site almost a year ago, after a couple of years of visiting a few times a week and lurking. Little did I realize how truly awesome this season would be. Or as Jem would say, truly outrageous. The writers on this blog are top notch. Combine that with a legion of regular commentors and participants far wittier and more knowledgeable then myself, and you have the recipe for a great site. Keep up the good work, everybody!

Not only is it composed of (mostly) level headed fans who don’t flip out after every loss or claim SB after every win, but the amount of football knowledge here is amazing. I literally learn something new almost every time I read a blog here. Thanks to everyone for making this place what it is, it has been a joy and a privilege to share the Texans’ best season with you all!

The oilers went to the playoffs the last 3 years he coached. He had a winning season 5 out of the 6 years he coached. Beelzebud fired him the 3rd year he made the playoffs with an 11-3 record.

Thanks for everything you guys do!

I agree on this being one of the best SB Nation Blogs around. In terms of activity, this place is booming 24/7. A lot of other SB Nation NFL blogs are ghost towns, even on gameday.
And in terms of quality of writing and commenting, let’s just say that visits to other blogs have shown us that not every site maintains such high levels of quality.

This is very true.
I think the hallmark of this blog is their (our) semi-masochistic humor. Out of all the other SBN blogs that I visit, the thing that sets this one apart is the fact that BRB doesn’t take themselves too seriously. If you go to Baltimore Beat Down, or Cincy Jungle, or even [redacted], they all seem to take everything too seriously. It’s like they think they’re actual journalists. This site suffers from no such misconception, and that’s why I love it here.
Houston Texans: 1 Playoff Win.
Vince Young, Dunta Robinson, and Jason Babin: 0 Combined Playoff Wins.
And that very thing makes this blog awesome and those blogs boring.
Still I don’t think there’s a more useless feature than MCM’s “Roll Call”. Whole we’re itching to get the 2DH, over there they are posting statistics on who posted the most during a game. Pathetic.

From a Bills fan
In you, many of us saw a reflection of ourselves. We saw a team that was dreadful for a long period of time start the season with fresh hopes. We were mired in misery from a long stretch of ineptitude and having to play in the same division as one of the league’s elite franchises led by a legendary quarterback. We both started the season well and defeated our arch rivals.
Then the injuries came. In my forty years of watching the NFL I don’t recall two teams that started off so well having such a rash of devastating injuries to the team’s best players in critical positions before as we saw with the 2011 Bills and the 2011 Texans. The Bills dealt with those injuries the way they have done so often in the past…by completely coming apart at the seams and making you wonder why we ever considered them a competitive team in the first place. The Texans didn’t do that. They accepted their injuries grudgingly, collectively put their noses to the grindstone and proceeded to win the division, get into the playoffs and then win their first playoff game. And did it with class every step of the way.
For that, the Texans organization and the Texans fans will forever have at least one admirer in Upstate New York. Well done, people. Very well done.

Was it the NT that got hurt that pretty much ended your run?
I had the Bills defense on my fantasy team, but as soon as that NT and Merriman got hurt, it just totally collapsed. I started having to sign diff defenses every week after that.
Merriman getting hurt didn’t hurt the Bills much since he had never been productive here even when he was healthy. Losing the only pro-bowler on the defense in Kyle Williams was a killer for the defense. He was really the lynchpin that made everything work. The injuries to Eric Wood and then Freddie Jackson who was having an MVP caliber season and then Donald Jones then crippled the offense.

Fred Jackson's injury killed my fantasy season
I can say I was the most shrewd drafter this season picking up Fitzpatrick and Jackson in rounds 6 and 7 on the cheap, and turning them into contenders for best fantasy seasons until yeah, Jackson got the injury. But hey, there’s always next season.

After discovering this blog this year, I came to realize something
This is, by far, the best community on the interwebz. I’ve been part of several over the past eight years, and this one takes the cake. There’s not the inherent drama (or, at least, not enough to notice) that I’ve experienced on other communities that shut me off. This one keeps me riveted because I have something invested that keeps me (and everyone else) coming back: love for the Houston Texans. The boneheaded, moronic intellectual conversation is enjoyable, and I love the sense of humor this community brings. It really does brighten my day when the community bashes loves MDC for his crude high brow humor. I truly hate respect Tim for his work on keeping the blog clean by allowing banning anyone who posts the nudez, and making it clear that NSFW isn’t allowed (I truly do respect how you handled it, Tim). It makes my day when a BESF troll visits and BFD pimp slaps him to submission oblivion, reminding me of the Johnson beat down of Innigan.
Special thanks for all of the rec’s this post will receive great times by reading such a fantastic blog!
Regards,

We get wounded as individuals, and heal as a village.
December 23, 1979. Well before the advent of instant replay, the refs completely miss Mike Renfro getting both feet in on his td catch. Momentum shifts, Steelers win, beginning of the end for Bum. I broke the backboard on my bball goal.
January 3, 1993. I couldn’t pick up a sports page or listen to the tv with the sound on for 3 weeks because everything reminded me of the Buffalo game. Nuf said.
1996. I found out that Beelzebud was kidnapping my soul and taking it to Methopotamia. I called in sick to work for 2 days and just stared out the window.
January 15, 2012. Losing the biggest game in franchise history, a game that could have been won, and that would have extended my ecstasy for another 7 days……. I shuffled over to my computer, logged on to BRB, and began to read, and type, and think, and after awhile, to feel a little better.
There’s something cathartic about sharing this heinous stuff with other people. And to BRB, I am forever grateful for providing the venue in which to share it.

The Texans web is so 320×480 ntsc crap why bother looking, just being truthful! Maybe more will want to go to the game to see the cheer’s too! Most of the time they show the cheers theres a big box on top of them live & alls you see is a fk pom pom, how lame?
Thanks indeed to BRB
Staff, and the rest of us riff raff that hang out here.

Thank You to every one who contributes to the blog
it’s pretty much the only real NFL discussion I get, let alone Texans, and I’m really grateful that its able to deliver such quality week in and week out to keep me sane over here.
It's already been said before by others...
but this is my favorite site on the interwebz. This site is part of my daily reading and I feel lost if I don’t get a chance to check it out at least once during the day.
Keep up the good stuff!

Just a great blog
Can’t thank you guys enough.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
I'm so grateful for this blog!
=)
Thank you to the writing staff and commenters who add so much information and mix it up with just enough humor to make the medicine go down ;-).
I come here first for TEXANS football information. The only thing that slightly dismays me is that y’all are so damn prolific at writing LOL. If I miss just a few days . . . I’ve missed ALOT. You make it hard to keep up with BRB and have a life ;-).
