RoyBatty is alive Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) You are correct OP. I live now in Houston and I can tell you the city went from rabid Texans fans selling out every game to them having to offer specials to get people in the stadium. The overall feeling on the Texans and its owner and organization is one of disgust and distrust. The level of apathy here, imo, especially for the ownership, is 10x worse than it ever was for ralph Wilson. That transition took about 1 1/2years. Edited September 30, 2021 by RoyBatty is alive 1
mushypeaches Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 They fully deserve the misery. We've seen some dysfunctional mis-management of our local teams over the last 60 years, but the disintegration of that organization over the last two years is amazing. 3

It's like they are going through a rebuild when they didn't really have to. 3
K-9 Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 Must be tough for Houston fans knowing they have a couple absolute nut jobs running the franchise and it’s a bad situation when the coaches and players have to circle the wagons against that. Initially, I think that can galvanize a team but it wears real thin real quickly.
Utah John Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 If it's any comfort to embarrassed Texans fans, I don't think the Bills will cover the spread. I think they could do so, easily, but why keep starters in just to run up the score? I think the Bills will be ahead 21-7 or so at halftime, with the lead growing in the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter Trubisky and a parade of backups will be on the field getting some game experience and letting the starters stay ready for KC. When that happens, the Texans will come back, a little, and the score differential will shrink. 1

If it was being more realistic they would be talking about NFL taking away team to mismanagement (forcing owner to sell) and moving somewhere else.

In Summary Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 I'd like to see Spencer Brown, Dodson, and maybe a couple others get some snaps in this game.

Royale with Cheese Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Since the Astros cheating scandal, The Texans lost Deshaun Watson and JJ Watt. The Rockets lost James Harden and Russell Westbrook. Edited September 30, 2021 by Royale with Cheese
WideNine Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 The Bills last season had a penchant for playing down to the level of the teams they were "supposed" to beat. I am with McD on his comments about having the right mindset or you get your asses kicked. Belicheat's stock is down right now, but he always talked up opposing teams even when the fanbases knew they were going to get torched again. He was fighting the complacency that comes with success on the field. If the Bills play responsibly, tough, and play the game with a take care of business approach there is no reason we lose against this team or fail to cover the spread. That being said, my gut feel is that we jump out to an early comfy lead, find some bone-headed ways to give up a few scores, or the zebras start guarding the spread to keep things close (my paranoia kicking in), then we light it up to coast to a win.
The Wiz Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 I really like how about 3/4 of the way down the first page it was basically discuss anything else but the game because we already know we are getting smoked.
