Something between lol stretch and Skank that I dont know about?

[LOL texans]

AS you know im the same as you. I still watch even when they suck. They are my team and I stand by that through good times and bad. Same as the Texans, same as the Spurs, same as the Horns. Luckily I have the horns in college fb, basketball, and baseball. Spurs are declining and the best is behind us. The stros are trying to fix that cluster that is our team, and the Texans are hopefull and trying to get past the hump. None of us realistically knew we could even do anything in playoffs especially when we cant close out a game when the going gets tough. We have shown signs of our talent but our youth has shined though.

I can salute the non-benefactorness in you for standing true to your team.

I made fun of him for being into comic books and for being a broncos fan who talked all week about how they were going to beat the Colts.

Then he went all Andy -like butthurt.

head here can't even explain where he would have gotten anything about comic books. Please, enlighten us.

Talked ? Go back and read everything I wrote before and after the game and show me where I "talked ". You can't.

It's just stretch, guys. Who else uses lol and butthurt as much as this guy?

[SpuronyourFace]

Damn shame the way this season played out for the Texans.

[benefactor]

I've gone through the Spurs struggles in the 90's and the heart break. I was a fan then as I am now. I bet during the Robinson era you gave up on the Spurs only to recalim them as your team once Duncan arrived and deliverd a championship(as you have proven to be that kind of "fan") I've also gone through the stuggles of the Colts in Manning's early years and the heartbreak losing. But I was still there as a fan as I am now.

Now YOU, ...you have proven that you give up on the teams you follow. It is logical to presume that you will do the same thing with the Spurs. Sure, you'll be gung ho at first, once Duncan retires, saying "Tony Parker will lead us to another Championship!" But a year later you will give up on the Spurs, just as you have given up on the texans. History repeats itself. Your a , not a fan of sports teams.

lol...it took you that long to respond and this is the best you can do?

Struggles in the '90s? What struggles? Besides not winning a le, they were a pretty successful team. Most of those teams were limited because of a lack of a decent supporting cast, but they still made the playoffs every year and competed. It's not like anyone was beating the Bulls...and the Rockets had the arguably they best all-around big man to ever touch a basketball. As a matter of fact, they have only had three seasons of less than 50 wins and one missed playoff in the past TWENTY years(lockout season adjusted). So...once again...you fail.

And if you are such a dedicated fan, then why don't you post in the Spurs forum? A quick search of your posts shows that you have not even bothered to post there since the beginning of the season and you have only posted in three threads total.

The fact is...you are nothing but a worthless troll...and not even a good one.

[LOL texans]

lol...it took you that long to respond and this is the best you can do?

Lets see, I responded to your previous post aproximately 4 1/2 hours after you posted. A 1000 apologies if you were waiting patiently for a response, but I don't live on the internet......HOWEVER, your the that took forever to respond to my last retort.....try 14 HOURS. 14 Hours to come up with this and its the best you can do. 14 hours to respond and you are ing about 4 hours???

Wrong you fail. You fail because you can't recognize how heartbreaking it was. If you don't think all those exits in the playoffs were not torturous, then again, you prove how much of a fan you are NOT. It ing sucked, year in and year out to end our seasons in hearbreak, but you wouldn't know anything about that. Being labled as soft, medidots trashing Robinson's resolve as a team leader. Every year going in with hopes of at least representing the West in the Finals and coming up short every time....Yes it hurt bad, we struggled in the playoffs....But only true fans who follow teams through the good and bad would know about it. Not so called "fans" like you, who discard and give up on teams.

And if you are such a dedicated fan, then why don't you post in the Spurs forum? A quick search of your posts shows that you have not even bothered to post there since the beginning of the season and you have only posted in three threads total.

stalking me huh???............Because Im still enjoying football season. Texas is playing for a championship. Colts are undeafeated. My life as a football fan is great!. But don't worry. I'll be there come Feb after Im celebrating a National Championship AND Super Bowl championship

"Denver came out of the gate, deferring to receive the ball until the 2nd half. It was a gamble McDaniels took in wanting to see his defense make a stand early and save them a bit of gas until later in the ballgame. Obviously, this is hard to accomplish against a team like Manning the Colts. Colts bolt ahead with an impressive, early drive. Clock-chewing, yard-eating, TD-scoring drive that was beautiful in execution.

The Broncos found themselves in too much of an early hole in this one, but fought back from late in the 2nd quarter until withering in the Colts last meaningful possession. The defense made some nice adjustments and had Manning and the offense off-kilter for most of the 2nd half. But, by then, it was too much to make up for an offense that was marred by gaffes and shortcomings most of the afternoon.

Kyle Orton, aside from one ball, played a heck of a game. He and Marshall were lethal. The running game left much to be desired as Moreno danced around and found it difficult to break into the 2nd level of the Colts defense. The loss of Buckhalter hurt (but almost expected with him) and McDaniels has little faith in Hillis unless its garbage time. Gaffney had a couple catches, but the rest of the receivers did squat. Where was Royal, Stokley - even Scheffler or Graham to put some pressure on the edges? I felt a lot of the issues with the offense was the predictability and lack of execution in short-yardage situations. Moreno has proven, for most of the season, that he's not capable of grinding out a 3rd and 1 or 3rd and 2-type situation. The run blocking today didn't help, either.

Props to the Colts for sticking in and taking a hard-fought game. Though you can never be happy with a loss, I thought Denver showed a lot of grit and determination in a game that would have seen them fold up in years past. This December feels a lot brighter for the Broncos than ones in recent history. If they can build on recent performances and buckle up on some of the mistakes, key blocks and execution, they might be more feared in the playoffs than teams like the Bengals and even the Patriots. Hopefully, none of the injuries on either side will linger.

Good game, guys."

GMAFB. You are really trying to compare this to what it means to be an Oilers/Texans fan? You have no idea what heartache is.

Nope...just fact checking. If I wanted to stalk you I would create a name called LOLcolts and I would post in the Colts season thread all the time.
It's nice to know that you will come to the Spurs forum right around the time the Spurs usually peak. It fits someone who only follows winning teams.

I highly doubt a quitter like you is a. . .ahem, a productive member of society, What with your quitter mentality.

Your right though, I don't know what it was like to be an oiler/texan fan. But neither do you since there is no doubt you quit on the Oilers too. Muc like the same way you quit on the texans this year. , Im more than convinced now you were not around for the good 'ol Spurs basketball of the '90s since you discredit any heartbreak any of us real Spurs fan's felt back in the day.

Face it. You're a and not a real fan of sports.

I guess I'm not. A real fan would pick good teams to root for then go to a message board with a LOL handle that singles out a team they have beaten regularly since the beginning of that teams existence. The funny thing is that the general consensus of this forum is that you are not even good at that.

I'm done here. I don't need to explain anything further to a troll and TBQH, I don't know why I let myself get sucked into trying to anyway. I know better.

Go Texans...and as always...maybe next year.

[benefactor]

Ok...so maybe I was going a little over the top emo in saying that I was done posting here for the year. It was a the toughest loss for me since Rosencopter.

That said, I'm still probably going to need to separate myself from this team and probably pro football for a few weeks. I am old enough to remember clearly the pain inflicted in the 90's by the Oilers(the comeback at Buffalo in '92, followed up by the 11 straight wins in '93 only to watch Joe Montana and Marcus Allen make that streak look meaningless), and right now it's starting to feel that way again...that so close but so far away feeling. I'd compare it to a marriage that is turmoil and the best solution for saving it is for both people to get away from each other for a while.

Alright...consider me back in the saddle. I apologize to the small Texans faithful on this board for going emo and acting like I was going to jump ship. We are all we've got.

Now that we are out of playoff contention, 9-7 is the goal. It's not what any of us wanted, but any improvement has to be seen as a positive. We are a young team and poised to be a good team...we just have to find some consistency.

Texans-Rams Preview (CBS Sports)

One of the AFC's two wild-card spots looks unlikely at this point, but the Houston Texans can still finish with a winning record for the first time in franchise history.

Houston looks to build on its first win in six weeks Sunday when it faces a St. Louis Rams team that has dropped 11 straight at home.

After opening 5-3, the Texans appeared to be in position to not only improve upon the franchise-record eight wins set in each of the past two seasons, but to make the playoffs for the first time.

Houston, though, dropped four straight before getting back on track last Sunday with a 34-7 victory over Seattle. Matt Schaub completed 29 of 39 passes for 365 yards and tossed two touchdowns to Andre Johnson, who had season highs with 11 receptions and 193 yards.

Schaub, who has a franchise-record 3,814 passing yards, threw for 336 in the first half as Houston (6-7) built a 27-7 lead.

"That's the most explosive half of football I've ever been around," said coach Gary Kubiak, whose team closes the season against Miami and New England. "I've never been around that. That's what we're capable of and if we find a way to bottle that someday for four quarters, it will be a real happy day."

Schaub, Johnson and the Texans' fourth-ranked passing offense could have another big day against a St. Louis defense yielding 27.8 points per game - 31st in the NFL.

"There are no excuses if you give up 40 points in a game," Rams rookie linebacker James Laurinaitis said following last Sunday's 47-7 loss at Tennessee. "That is not acceptable on any level, whether it's high school, college or professional."

St. Louis (1-12), which has lost 22 of 23, also hasn't been able to accomplish much on offense. The Rams have scored 10 points or fewer seven times and are averaging a league-worst 11.2.

With rookie quarterback Keith Null possibly making his second straight start Sunday, those numbers might not improve against a Texans defense that is playing better of late.

When Kyle Boller couldn't go last week due to a sore thigh, Null, a sixth-round pick from West Texas A&M, made his NFL debut. He completed seven of his first eight passes and finished 27 of 43 for 157 yards with a TD and five interceptions.

"You put a guy in a tough situation, but Keith's pretty solid. He's got some resolve, so I'm going to hope that he will be able to shake it off," said coach Steve Spagnuolo, who has not committed to Null or Boller as the Rams look for their first home win since Oct. 19, 2008, over Dallas.

Whomever is taking the snaps will face a Texans defense that had three sacks, a forced fumble and 15 tackles for loss last Sunday. Mario Williams had a pair of sacks and linebacker DeMeco Ryans matched a season high with 12 tackles.

"It shows we are capable of doing it, and we've just got to continue it next week in St. Louis," rookie linebacker Brian Cushing said. "It doesn't mean anything if you go out and lay an egg."

Houston, which held the Seahawks to 62 yards rushing, will try to slow down St. Louis' Steven Jackson, who is second in the NFL with 1,279 yards.

Jackson ran for a season-low 47 yards against Tennessee.

"Instead of standing here embarrassing myself, and my family, I'm just going to say I'm tired. I'm just tired. I'm tired. You fill in the blanks," Jackson said. "However you want to write the article, however you want to say it, I'm just tired."

Jackson will not be running behind left guard Jacob Bell or right guard Richie Incognito. Bell was placed on injured reserve Wednesday with a torn hamstring, while Incognito was released a day earlier after picking up two personal fouls in the first half last Sunday.

In the teams' only meeting, St. Louis won 33-27 in overtime Nov. 27, 2005, in Houston.

Recap

They didn't show the game here..but it looks like the defense continues to play well, as they held them to only 237 yards. With the running game bogging down Schaub once again played well, completing 70% of his passes for 367 yards and no picks. Looks like Andre basically ran wild on their secondary. Anyone get to see it?

[Dr. Gonzo]

pussy

[benefactor]

I probably deserve that. Let's move on, shall we? Did you watch the game?

[Dr. Gonzo]

I probably deserve that. Let's move on, shall we? Did you watch the game?

Actually I did Pussy. The offense looked like besides AJ and Schaub. There is absolutely no run game what so ever and the defense looked bad for most parts of the game. Even though they got the win it was extremely hard to watch.

[benefactor]

Yeah...that's basically what I've gotten from watching video and recaps.

This coming week is interesting. There is about a 10% chance that we somehow see the wild card but winning this game is actually instrumental in that. S

Something to play for?

[symple19]

Houston continues to make the steps it needs to make. I know this isn't what you Fans want to hear, but this team is on the brink. Hang in there

[Dr. Gonzo]

Looks like there is still a slim chance at the playoffs. They can't play the way they did in the second half next week like they did this week. Brady won't be missing the throws that Henne missed.

I'm predicting a loss next week though and the third 8-8 season in a row.

[benefactor]

Just got done watching. Once again...it was one uva half of football.

Jax and B-More lost...and now if the Jets and the Broncos lose(likely) they will be in even better shape. Just to still be in the playoff discussion going into the last week is nice, especially after looking like we were all but done after the 4 losses in a row.
