No way dude! How old are the Cubs vs. how young are the Texans?

Plus the Cubs did win a WS 100 years ago.....both the oilers and the texans haven't won the super bowl.  The closest we got was when the owner sold the team to Tenn. and the titans lost by 1 yard. Not like that even counts cause the team was already sold and they lost.

John Elway did it in a superbowl ... now that is well worth the risk.

I agree 110%...plus Elway was proven at the time.  He's like top 5 QB all time! Rosenfelds is unknown by most now and will more than likely stay that way.

I remember after the buffalo debacle there were all kinds of Oiler mechandise in the garbage.  So many people gave up hope.  I don't miss the games and now I play my mandolin instead of watching the silly millionaires lose the games. meh.

Re: What happen to the Houston Texan's football season?

Mario was a great choice, I am very glad that we got him instead of Bush and Young.

We got Slaton now, who needs Bush.

Vince aint that good..no better than Schuab.

Yesturday's loss was not Rosenfelds fault, its mostly the (2) 4th and 1 drives that scored 10 points in the first quarter, that is the hardest for me to swallow.

That sucked...

I agree with you on big mo....he got 4 sacks on the season and is a monster.  I also agree with you on Slaton.  He reminds me of Emmitt Smith.  Both 5'9'' but Emmitt was a little bigger I think.....Slaton is only 203. Emmitt had to be at least 215 if not 220.

But you must be nutts to think Vince is not better than Schuab.  Schuab doesn't even work out.  Look at his arms and legs.....they are about as big as mine and the only wights I pick up are 6 packs. Dude can't even take a hit. And if Sundays lost was not Rosenfelds' fault....who's was it?

There's always college...but that's got money in it too.

maybe Friday night lights is your type of thing.  High school football is watched and loved in Texas!

Re: What happen to the Houston Texan's football season?

I think the Defense giving up (2) 4th and 1 drives in the first quarter that resulted in 10 points is as bit at fault as a over zealous guy trying to go for it.

I think for everyone to be saying its Sage's fault is not fair really.

Compare Career stats..

But...

Rushing Yards/Touchdowns:

Vince Young - 951/10

Matt Shaub - 215/1


Not that I care either way (Browns fan looking forward to November 23rd  ), but Young's strength is that he can hustle with that ball when needed.

Re: What happen to the Houston Texan's football season?

One thing you have to realize when you compare VY to Schaub is look at who the complementary players are can you name me one good WR on the Titans? All the WR are playing out of their minds, they are playing above their talent level. But that is why Jeff is one of the best coaches ever he always gets his guys to play above their talent level.

Go Cowboys :dance:

Re: What happen to the Houston Texan's football season?

No doubt that Young is a excellent running quarterback, but is that what you really want?

[geoff_tropheus]

Re: What happen to the Houston Texan's football season?

My main point really is that from Local Media all the way to ESPN everyone blames Sage Rosenfels with no mention of the the frist quarter defensive failrues.  Everyone is so quick to point out, that it was 27-10 when the 1st fumble happend, but that was still 10 points that should have been stopped.

Re: What happen to the Houston Texan's football season?

You want a qb that can win games.

If VY came to Houston he would been killer with Andre. But like Darbex stated the Titans have avg wideouts that play above their level

Titans! 8)

Re: What happen to the Houston Texan's football season?

In 2006 the Titans came from behind and beat us on a 4th quarter final seconds drive, and Vince Young ran in the touchdown with the ball raised in the air, and the entire Bullpen shouted..."WE WANT VINCE...WE WANT VINCE..."

Looking back it was not all that cool especially coming from the bullpen, but everyone did it, and that seaon sucked anyhow..and Mario was not effective whatsoever.

In Schuabs first full season 11 games started, we were 8-8.  This year who knows...

Vince's first seaon the Titans went 8-8, last year they were 10-6 and made the wildcard.
