chuck is just embodiment of site traffic here. Page hits and unique visitor counts are at their highest when the team is at its worst. It was this way back in the HPF days as well. Not sure I'd call it human nature as much as I'd call it Houston nature. We've been raised to expect the worst and aren't sure how to handle success imo.
Also, game thread posts are typically slower for home games than for away, probably because away games find us more likely to be watching from our recliners with a laptop near by. Old school boards like this aren't as social friendly like Twitter and Facebook with mobile devices. Back to the early 2000's I've been a willing tech dinosaur as it relates to this.
As for the game, if the D can shut down the Saints, then there is no telling how far it can carry this team. We'll certainly find out over the next three games though just how good it is. I can't figure out why it took two months for this unit to get it together... this is what we all expected from game 1. Seems the D got better right around the time Rahim Moore began being a regular healthy scratch.
It took just one carry from Akeem Hunt to make me wonder if he is the best active RB on the roster, talent-wise. Blue, Grimes, and Polk... they are what we thought they were. Each has distinctive traits to help, but it seems none have the ceiling that Hunt has.
