Can the Texans Afford to go 0-3? [...0-4? ...0-5? ...0-##?]

I see exponential progress each week... the first 3 games went: terrible --> bad --> not too bad.

Time for a "good" game (on both sides of the ball)....

offensively they went that way, the defense is still bad, bad, bad

No, I meant total team effort.

The defense was arguably good 1st half @ Jax, 2nd half @ Titans....

to that, i had an idea i didn't know if i should go through with or not:

my idea is to make a poster, pretty big one, of a heart with a zero on one side and a ten on the other. i could affix an arrow on a swivel and point it anywhere in between based on how much texans' heart and fire the team is showing. if they come out klunking like at pittsburgh i'd put it just barely at 1...if they actually showed up to the game and played like in jacksonville it would probably get a 5 or 6.

what do you think?

Kinda like a suckmeter? Eheh, one end of the scale "sucked", the other end - "didn't suck"?

I dunno, I sure wish they'd start doing a little winning. Some fans can get really stupid when they are losing. It's a real challenge to find intelligence and rational thinking on some of the blogs/messageboards I frequent after losses. I think I'll just start taking care of some of the house/yard work I've been putting off....

haha, yard work?! geez, it must be a terrible idea if it's forcing you to yard work! i'll just scrap that...

what about a giant, working panic button? if we're 0-5 for miami or 0-6 for detriot that'll probably be happening...

Nah, not your idea. I was thinking of the Chronicle blogs - especially McClain's blog. Houston has some great sports fans. We also have some really dumb/irrational/misguided ones, too.

Some people gotta stay away from talk radio the week of a loss. I need to stay off the internet the week of a loss but sometimes I just can't help myself.... I could be way more productive with my time....

And the problem is most of them are just casual fans who know nothing but speak volumes.
