Fair Weather Houston Fans

[Boyzmamacita]

All that crap they talked all week and the stands were empty by the 4th quarter. Whatever happened to supporting your big bad 2-0 team? Surely they're so great that they can make a comeback and you want to stick around and see it, right?

The rivalry is one-sided, but I am so glad the Cowboys won this game. The Texans were gonna beat up big brother and the best team in Texas wasn't the Cowboys. Blah, blah, blah. We shut them up for another 4 years. I love it.

I love the fact we get to shut up some Cowboy fans with a win. Face last week some around here did not give us much of a chance at winning this game.

ESPN looks legit printing that article...

 

[Arch Stanton]

They started leaving with 10 minutes left of the fourth quarter.

We waved them goodbye.

Yeah. They're not true fans. They won a couple of games early on, and they started feeling themselves.

I heard earlier in the week that Andre Johnson guaranteed a victory against the Cowboys. Fans heard this, and they just couldn't help themselves. They were so sure their team would win the game.

They may have an improved team, but they are still the armpit of Texas.

I admit that I did not think the boys would pull this one out...the way they were playing and the Texans were sky high..... Kinda reminds me of the Saints game last year when the boys went into the Superdome and saved their season as well. Oh well, congrats ..hope this kickstarts our SB run.

I heard about the guarantee too. And don't forget Demeco Ryans not worrying about our offense. How'd that work out for him?

I understand the frustration what I don't get is when fans turn on the team.

 

[Hypnotoad]

preseason is when we let our little sister win so she doesn't feel so bad about herself.

I've lived in Houston. Pearland to be specific. The Houston Texans don't really have fans. Houston is such a transient city that you rarely meet someone who was born and raised there.

They will always have fair weather fans because it is the nature of their city.

I have lived in Houston over 40 years I understand them quite well. What I don't get is Cowboy fans turning on the team. Right here we have a group who trash the Cowboys players and coaches more than I see from ESPN or teh NFL Network.

Same with Arizona. Cowboys always have 40-50% representation in Cardinal Stadium. Looked like there was a ton of Raider fans at the Cards game today.

 

[kmd24]

Yeah, but have you seen traffic around Reliant Stadium after a game?

 

[calico]

Being a cowboys fan in Houston makes this win sweeter. They talked soo much all week and to see them filing out and cowboys fans chanting was the cherry on top of the cowboys smacking them around.

The best part was their pre game radio complaining about there being over 20,000 cowboys fans at the stadium...they finally realized why Dallas is Americas team.

Then getting to watch the game with mainly Texan fans as they sat in silence almost the whole game was priceless!

You are hardest on what you love. The fans here love the team so much that every flaw is magnified. Every penalty is the end of the world. Every first down is life and death. We can criticize cause our intention is good (well most of us), ESPN/NFL critics are just haters who probably watch 1-2 cowboys game a year and just repeat haterspeak "romo can never win a big game"/"defense is soft"/"coach is cupcake" etc.

 

[zrinkill]

I heard a lot of cheers for the Cowboys on their big plays .....

I do not think Houston has the following they think they have.

I don't pretend to understand the psyche of those particular fans. I think some want failure just to spark change in the direction that they feel the team should go in.

I always support my team, win or lose. I will poke fun at them and be critical of them, but I don't wish failure on the Cowboys just for the sake of change.

We've seen coaches and players come and go over the years. I believe there is a limit to what a coach can bring. At some point, the players have to want to win. Just like they wanted it today.

 

[SDCowboy]

They are in total dismay over on the Texans forum.

Come on many of those same things are said here by our own fans. Wade is too soft, Garrett does nto have a clue or Romo can't win the big one is said here often by so called fans. I did see you say well most of us and most do most do not go off the deep end some do

Maybe he should have been.
