We don't even have fair weather in Texas...especially this time of year! But not pull for the Texans? Do you know our history? To be a Texan fan is to suffer!
And don't believe anyone that tells you otherwise.
I didn't buy into the "OMG Dallas sucks and they'll will lose sooooooo much this season" hype. What idiot would? Have you heard of Jerry Jones? This man spends MILLIONS upon MILLIONS. To call anything he endorses useless is just in poor form.
That aside, I was really...and I mean REALLY hoping the Texans could keep the momentum rolling. We started our season 2-0, for only the second time in franchise history. As fans, that's a lot to be proud of! As a player, you hope it doesn't go to their heads.
I don't think the latter was the case. It just looked like we still aren't comfortable with our new "run game." Which is understandable because...have you SEEN Matt Schaub's numbers? To put it mildly, they're ridiculous. This guy's toting a cannon around, and we've decided we want to run the ball this year.
Fine. We'll adjust...won't we?
Steve Slaton went on every fan's shit list last year. This year, A Foster opened up our season to rush for over 230 yards against the Colts. HUZZAH!!! We have a run game!.................. Not quite.
Looks to me like we're still trying to be decisive. None of the Texan numbers were impressive today, least of which the 13-27 scoreline in Dallas' favor. When you've got a 1st and goal, and can't convert...there are definitely some problems that need to be addressed.
Troy Aikman and Joe Buck made note that the Texans center has an abnormally low stance, which causes trouble for Schaub. If that's the case, shouldn't someone look into replacing the center?
Football should be about singing kumbiya and holding hands around a campfire. I really wish the Texans coaching staff would stop being so gentle and yell at a player when he messes up. Kick over a water color, hell, throw a clipboard! Something!
Anything to show that we have some emotions and we care that we just got our asses handed to us by a team with ZERO confidence!
We'll face the Raiders next week. They aren't anything to write home about, but that doesn't mean they aren't dangerous. As we saw with Dallas today: When teams are playing with desperation in their eyes, they are formidable opponents.
Meanwhile, I'll take the 2-1 start. Because, for now, we're tied for first in our division.
