  • I wonder how many people on this thread could stand to lose a few pounds...I know I can...so by 'insulting' me, you're insulting all of them with the 'fat' comment.

    Why don't you think about that and edit your comment, and while you're at it, delete that thread too, idiot.
  • Why are you bringing up the Bucs? They have nothing to do with the eternally laughable texans

    Let's talk about the laughable Bucs:

    A franchise that has lost over 60% of the games they have played.
    A franchise that in 30 years of existence has had only 9 winning seasons.
    A franchise that holds the record for being the only NFL team to lose every game in a season.
    A franchise that has the longest losing streak in NFL history.

    One Super Bowl victory will not erase a history of sucking.

    Yes, a franchise that was set in existence before the luxury of expansion drafts that new franchises are entitled to...yet despite that setback, were in the playoffs within 4 years, something that, despite all the advantages given to new franchises, something the Texans still cannot seem to do. Hell, they can't even put together a winning season, and have already turned over their head coach! Then a stingy owner who was more interested in saving money than in putting a winning team out there sucked the lifeblood out of the team.



    << <i>One Super Bowl victory will not erase a history of sucking. >>



    Which is one more super bowl victory than the other expansion team that year - the seahawks. One more super bowl victory than the texans.

    Now, what was your point again?



    Look who crawled out from under his bed! stownie!!!

    Probably back under there now, waiting for the nightmares to come...the nightmare of EIGHT field goals raining down on his head.

    Those pictures are slightly deceving. The first few are at the beginning of the game and the last few are at the end. Game was sold out and this one is a good representation of the crowd:

    If I were to guess, it was probably at 95% capacity with that 5% being no-shows since VY wasn't playing (I suppose).

    If I'm not making sense, I got zero sleep last night and my triple latte' ain't doing squat.

    It's official. The Texans are terrible. I just finished a season of Madden '07 and they failed to win a game. And since the Chiefs went 14-2, and ranked #1 on offense, I'd say it's a pretty accurate representation of real life. image

    Sorry stown.

    And again, Tinkerbell proves that her life just plain sucks. No one to high-five with, no one to shoot the poo, no one to cheer their favorite team.

    Must suck to be a cross-country, bandwagon hopping "fan".

    Back to the point, I just got done hanging with friends, cheering for the home team, and drinking a few brews.

    Good times.

    As a fan, I ask of this...

    Oh Lawd, please help us.

    Amen.

    I know that you know I've been there through thick and thin.

    Amen.

    I know that you know you are trying my patience, Lawd.

    Amen.

    I know that you know I've been a greatful fan.

    Amen.

    You know I would take any shots from all of the trolls, regardless of our record.

    Amen.

    What you did for us, the first two games, I am greatful.

    Amen.

    Oh Lawd, it was a time to remember.

    Amen.

    Lawd, it was great to be in Reliant Stadium when we only lost by 6 againt INDI.

    Amen.

    Don't get me wrong, oh Lawd.

    Amen.

    Miami and the flaming thumbtacks were still great games, oh Lawd.

    Amen.

    That comeback was one for the ages, for which I'm still giddy about, oh merciful Lawd.

    Amen.

    I'm just saying, can you help a brother out, oh Lawd?

    Amen

    Can you please tell the refs about the flagerant (sp?) hits, oh Lawd?

    Amen.

    I'm not asking them to get kicked out of the game or anything like that, my great Lawd.

    Amen.

    I'm just asking for a small break, oh great, sovereign (sp?) Lawd.

    Amen.

    Guess I'm just asking, oh wonderful Lawd.

    Amen.

    Can you hook a brother up, please?

    Amen.

The Bucs lost at home to DR quinn qb......So AX get banned for the 4th time and jump bandwagons to hey I know the Colts and nobody will know its you until at least your 2nd post.

    Thank you for adding absolutely nothing, as usual, VTD.

    Great job image

    So who do you cheer for, Mr. Unquestionable Integrity But Still Will Sell A PSA 7 With A Surface Wrinkle Without Disclosing It? Are you, just like your buddy Tinkerbell, another cross country bandwagoner?

    As a final note, there are no holds barred here, unlike the SC&M forum. So before you get your panties all wadded up and encourage someone to commit suicide, I suggest that you walk away and never return here.

    The return of Andere Johnson after the bye should give the offense a boost, too.

    And by the way, since the national media refuses to give him any love, Mario is having a really good year.

    8.5 sacks, a couple of fumbles, 7 tackles yesterday, and all while being constantly double and triple teamed.

    Saints' Bush hasn't made a fool of Texans yet
    Posted: Friday December 7, 2007 12:21PM; Updated: Friday December 7, 2007 12:21PM

    No. 1 pick in 2006 Mario Williams has posted 8.5 sacks this season for Houston -- while also outplaying No. 2 draftee Reggie Bush.
    AP


    Maybe the Texans were right after all.

    The Texans were laughed at, mocked and ridiculed a couple Aprils ago, when they bypassed gifted Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush to draft workmanlike defensive end Mario Williams with the first pick in the draft. Nothing against Williams, but this was the Trail Blazers taking Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan.

    Bush was a can't-miss talent, a once-in-a-lifetime player. He was going to revolutionize the running back position.

    Almost two full years in, the Saints are still waiting.

    While Williams closes in on his first Pro Bowl season in Houston -- with 8½ sacks, he trails only Jared Allen of the Chiefs among AFC defensive ends -- Bush sputters along in New Orleans, looking less and less every week like a once-in-a-lifetime player.

    More like the second coming of Larry Centers.

    The Saints, who thought they lucked into a future Hall of Famer, are now trying to figure out how Bush became so ordinary and what to do with a guy who's essentially a high-priced role player on a 5-7 team.

    "I think that everyone expects him to go out and just be Superman all the time and that is not the case, especially in this league," Saints quarterback Drew Brees said. "Reggie is a young back who is still learning how to play this game, learning how to be a professional."

    Bush turned in a few electrifying plays last year, a few glimpses of greatness, but he's regressed this year; and that aura of greatness has faded a little more each week.

    With four games left, Bush doesn't have a run longer than 22 yards. Trent Green, Jay Cutler, Josh McCown, Ben Roethlisberger, Donovan McNabb and Jason Campbell all have longer runs than Bush this year. And they're quarterbacks! Bush's 3.7 average is 37th out of 47 backs with 75 carries or more.

    OK, but Bush is electrifying catching the ball out of the backfield, right? Wrong.

    Despite 73 receptions, he doesn't have a catch longer than 25 yards. He's seventh in the NFL in catches but 77th in receiving yards.

    Incredibly, the Texans' Williams actually owns a longer play this year than Bush -- his 38-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown is longer than any run, catch or return that Bush has managed.

    So what's the problem?

    Because of his physical limitations, Bush will never be an every-down back. The Saints concede this. "It's unfair to have those expectations," Brees said.

    And he's such a poor blocker that teams recognize when he's running a pattern, he's probably going to get the ball, and they can adjust accordingly. Hence a 5.7 per-catch average, lowest by a back among the top 12 in catches in 63 years -- since Bob Davis of the Boston Yanks averaged 5.1 yards per reception in 1944.

    "We try to give him enough opportunities where he's out in a route and he's not in protection," coach Sean Payton acknowledged.

    No doubt Bush misses running mate Deuce McAllister, whose season ended after three weeks with a knee injury. But even before that, Bush was averaging 2.8 yards per carry and 4.4 yards per catch.

    Bush was billed out of USC as a hybrid receiver and back, equally dangerous as a runner or receiver. But in reality, he's not physical enough to break tackles, not shifty enough to turn short catches into big plays and -- with eight fumbles (five in the last five games) -- not secure enough with the ball to be trusted in critical situations.

    So what is he?

    A bust? No, that's unfair. He's OK. But just OK. Because of his speed, he'll pop the occasional big play, though he hasn't this year. But when the Saints drafted Bush, they didn't think they were getting a guy who would rank a pedestrian 18th in the NFL in total yards.

    Here's why this is such a huge problem for the Saints. Bush is signed through 2011 with cap numbers ranging from $3.7 million to $6.1, and McAllister is signed through 2012 with cap numbers ranging from $5.8 million to $8.2 million.

    But McAllister, who turns 29 in a few weeks, is coming off a torn left ACL with MCL damage just 23 months after rehabbing a torn right ACL. He hopes to come back at some point next year but will likely never be the same. With McAllister's injuries and Bush's lackluster performance, a team that thought it had two brilliant running backs ... has none.

    Because it's obvious that Bush is not Superman. He's barely even Mario Bates.

    "Reggie is one of the best athletes I have ever seen, but that only gets you so far," Brees said. "(There are) certain fundamentals and discipline to playing this game that are learned. And that's not something that just happens immediately."

    Most likely, Adrian Peterson, Brian Westbrook and Marion Barber will represent the NFC in the Pro Bowl in Hawaii.

    That's OK. Maybe Mario Williams can send Bush a postcard.
