The Roller Coaster That Is Texans Fandom
It’s another week and another surprising result in a rollercoaster season for the Houston Texans. Your Texans defeated the San Francisco 49ers 26-15, but the performance was more dominating than that on both ends of the game. The numbers will likely tell us as much, but we look anyway for the cumulative effect. The more […]

So, I wanted to warn y’all about something. This is going to be a rematch of Super Bowl XLV. I say this to you because you need to be prepared for Mike Tirico and (I suspect) especially Cris Collinsworth to bring this factoid up at least six or seven times every segment. I do not […]

The Texans, hot off an extremely disappointing loss to the Seattle Seahawks, come back to Houston to host the San Francisco 49ers in another tilt against a difficult NFC West opponent that could decide the Texans season. This is the first home game for the Texans since their victory over the Titans, and they’re desperate […]

Anyway, the maps. CBS LATE GAMES Red: Dallas Cowboys at Denver Broncos (Announcers: Jim Nantz, Tony Romo; Referee: Carl Cheffers)Blue: Tennessee Titans […]

Saying the Houston Texans have been a mess on offense would be an understatement. It feels like the coaching staff is getting worse as the weeks go on, and while it might not be something that gets fixed overnight, the Texans still have some talent on the roster to get things moving in the right […]

Once upon a time, we believed things were improving for the Houston Texans. Last Monday changed that for a lot of Texans fans. I know I speak for myself when I say that the prospects for this team have taken a significant downward turn. But the season rolls on and some of us still want […]

The Houston Texans are coming off an embarrassing loss to the Seahawks in Seattle and will look to bounce back at home against the 49ers. Offensive coordinator Nick Caley has been under heavy fire through the first half of the season for his scheme and several questionable coaching decisions on a weekly basis. The Texans’ […]

The players may be combatants on the field, but we are one big happy family here at SBNation. My favorite feature every week is the five questions feature because it allows me to get behind enemy lines to see what is going on with that week’s opponent. Nicholas McGee of Niners Nation was kind enough […]

Hello, good evening and welcome to week eight of the NFL season. Tonight, TNF returns to La La Land for a matchup that folks are calling “…a football game…” Hey, why should Hollywood be the only one that gets to selectively edit reviews? At any rate, I’m sure it’ll be a tremendously fun time watching […]

I thought I could put away the stages of suck after two wins, but the pile of excrement the Texans left on the field brought it back. I have been asking about four different people in my stages of suck, but there is way too much to say and I wanted to give the masthead […]

Raise your hand if you’ve seen this before: The Houston Texans play a night game on National TV and get utterly embarrassed. With 2 weeks to prepare for the Seattle Seahawks, the Texans offense took the field and looked totally unprepared. While the defense played to form, offensive coordinator Nick Caley’s job looked phoned in […]

Well, they tried! Try and try they might, the Houston Texans just couldn’t claw their way to victory in an ugly match against the Seattle Seahawks. They might have picked Sam Darnold off, they might have blocked a field goal, they might have even scored a defensive touchdown thanks to Will Anderson Jr., but this […]

The Day After the Day After…when the raw, immediate emotions from the aftermath of a game diminish into the realm of clarity and the proverbial (or literal) hangover no longer haunts the mind. With that, a review of Week 7: Maybe it WAS the opponents: When Houston outscored the Titans and Ravens 70-10, it did […]

I’ve been writing for this site for going on five years now. I have been watching Houston Texans football since they beat Dallas 19-7. I have been watching Houston NFL football since the late 1970s. At no point did it ever feel like work. Last night did. A lot of it was a quick turnaround […]

The city of Houston hasn’t seen a snap of Texans football since their 44-10 manhandling of the Baltimore Ravens way back on October 5. Since then, the Colts have roared to 6-1, the Jaguars are turning into pumpkins and the Titans are.. well, the Titans. With that said, the national spotlight was on Houston and […]

For the last two weeks there’s been a constant argument going in my head. In case you forgot, two weeks ago the Texans beat the Ravens comfortably 44-10. It was the kind of game we’ve been dreaming of all season. All phases of the ball looked good. But what was it? Is it because the […]

Once upon a time there was an NFL that had six divisions. One of which was the NFC West. To make sense of this division, prior to 2002, was to drive oneself to madness. A division for the western teams of the NFC included, somehow, San Francisco, California (which is as west as this country […]
