The New York Giants catapulting from 8-8 to Super Bowl champions is causing a lot of Texans fans to get their hopes too high for next season.
:rolleyes:
It goes on, but Mclain is such a tard. How many of us, and fans not on the board, really have our hopes that high? In all seriousness. He should beaten and slapped, then beat again.

Ya don't get me wrong, I have all the confidence in the world in our organization, and I know we are moving forward and will do better next season than we have before, but his article just makes us (fans) look ignorant. I'm not saying it can't happen, what i'm saying is who really expects it to? :cool:

In terms of getting our hopes too high, I think as long as we don't think beyond I would say the second round, I am hoping for us to at least make the playoffs. We have the players and now the personnel (sp?).

Right now, our expectations and goals are clearly separarated and realistic. We don't expect anything crazy like the super bowl, but we have set our goal as making the playoffs. However, as we get deeper and deeper into free agency (past the draft and FA), people will start getting out of control with it because there is nothing but optimism surrounding us (as well as 31 other teams). It happens every year.

McClain is not the sharpest tool in the tool shed thus the reason I never pay any attention to what the hoe has to say.He really should come and visit this board to find out how true Texan fans feel about the playoffs.
As stated earlier I believe we make a strong push at the playoffs.......... quite possibly making the playoffs as a wildcard. ;)

I definitely agree. I mean a few us are clamoring for big things like big name free agents, high draft picks and Super Bowl titles, but we know those aren't even set in playground sand. Right now, the Texans have done a great job last year with half the team injured by the end and next year with the experience brought onto the coaching staff, the young talent should improve enough to finally get over some of the problems the team has had mentally.
Being a contender for the wild card spot deep into this upcoming season is the Texans' goal and from the looks of it, an attainable one, based on everything the organization currently has.

Ok fellas, time for Reading Comprehension 101....
I think some if not all of yall are missing the point McClain was making. The Giants didn't go from a 2-14 to a 6-10 to a 8-8 to winning the Super Bowl. That was the point he was making. The Giants were a 11-5 playoff team in 05, then dipped to 8-8, then won the whole thing. Basically, they were already a playoff caliber team for the last couple of years. They didn't go from a horrible record, to .500, then the Super Bowl. The Texans still have allot of work to do and that is what he is saying. To think the Texans can go from 2-14,6-10,8-8 then win it all is unrealistic, just as McClain is saying. We fans, including myself, tend to put the horse before the carriage, as most of us did talking about playoffs after a 2-0 start, and fail to stand back and look at the big picture. He is right about the Eagles, if any team is going to follow the Giants path to the Super Bowl, after the last 2 years, it would be the Eagles, finished 10-6 in 06, 8-8 this year.
Like he stated, the Texans are going down the road of the Packers and Titans, who had losing records in 05, finished .500 last year and were in the playoffs this year. He didn't say the Texans wouldn't be in the playoffs or have a shot next year, in fact he states that because of Kubiak and Smith over seeing the draft and FA, the Texans should be in a good position to get into the playoffs and have a winning record. All he is stating are the odds and that Texans fans shouldn't look at what the Giants did rather what the Titans and Packers did because they are more like the Texans team. Don't let yalls hater attitude cloud your thought of reason....
I think some of yall are getting McClain confused with Richard Justice. Justice is the one who bashes the Texans religiously all because they didn't draft his boy VY. McClain is the one who defends the Texans when needed and gets on them when needed.

I think even McClain is suffering from offseason boredom. He's not saying anything that any educated Texans fan doesn't already know. I think he just needed a piece to write and it gave him a chance to throw out a bunch of stats. I haven't met any credible fans that expect us to make it to the Super Bowl.

Um ya I undersood the point he was making. You basically said the same thing he did. What we are saying is he is not giving us very much credit by saying we think we're going to the Super Bowl just because our record was 8-8 like the Giants last year. I as well as everyone else on here understood quite well, i'm not sure why you wanted to expose your ignorance by saying this is reading 101. Don't come on here trying to say we don't understand blah, blah. blah. We understood perfectly. Your just making yourself look really silly, so i'll accept your apology in advance.
The bottom line is he needed a story and he wrote a dumb one about how Texans fans automatically think we are going to the Super Bowl just cause' our records and the giants records matched from previous years. Sorry that's just silly. Nobody in their right mind truly believes that. And for the record Mclain is a tool who hops on and off the bandwagon religiously.

i dont think we have our hopes too high. my personal opinion is that because we finished 8-8, we will be in the playoffs. not because the giants were 8-8 last year but because we were a few turn-overs away THIS year from the playoffs. we could have easily been 11-5 if we would have cut stupid mistakes and stayed healthy (we lost like 19 players to IR!). next year we have a bunch of new coaches (great coaches) coming aboard, we have none of our key players leaving, and we have the draft and free agent market to look forward to. i will even go out on a limb and say we'll be DEEP in the playoffs (AFC championship???), but NO ONE should say super bowl ESPECIALLY SINCE we have to get through Indy, new england, and jacksonville!.... but dont forget this, the Texans are an NFL team... anybody can beat anybody. (Super Bowl.. Giants/Patriots???!)... except Miami.

ACTUALLY both have mancrushes on Vince, both bash Texans for not picking their boyfriend. Funny thing is McClain was one saying texans take heart if Giants can others can, then slams door on people...as have heard quoted many times "what a strange sad little man"
Obviously you didn't understand or you wouldn't have gotten all bent about the article in the first place. Need I remind you how this board went ape s*it about going to the playoffs after a 2-0 start, so yes there are people on here and in Texans nation that would assume that if a 8-8 team of last year could go and win the Super Bowl, why couldn't the Texans. I clearly remember folks on this very board saying "If the Saints could go from 3-13 to the NFC Champ, why couldn't the Texans?" All McClain was saying was don't look at what the Giants did this year but what the Titans and Packers did. He is not questioning the intelligence, unlike you are, of the Texans fans, just look at the bigger picture. You say McClain is a tool, why because he is honest? He criticizes when need and praises when needed. Richard Justice is the one who bashes even when the Texans do good.
Like I said, reading comprehension works wonders when it is not clouded by hatred....There you have it.........a McClain fan I was really wondering if there were any of those left in Houston and now I know. ;)
No, not really a fan per say, I listen to him from time to time. I haven't ever heard him bash the Texans religiously like Justice does, so maybe yall need to send me some links that show the bashing. I clearly remember McClain saying that Mario Williams would just fine because he talked to several D-line Coaches in the NFL that said that most D-lineman make their best progression between 2-4th year. Well what do ya know, he was right. Both TJ and Mario showed vast improvement this year and TJ in his 4th and Mario in his 2nd. He is also the sports writer that went to bat for Warren Moon and Bruce Mathews to get them into the Hall of Fame. Don't believe me, go find Mathews speech and you would hear him thanking McClain for his presentation to the selection committee.
I just don't get the hate for the guy, that's all and I really don't get ti about this article when he clearly says that the Texans have a good chance of getting to the playoffs next year...For the most part all is good, as for me I just gave up on McClain way back when.What everyone here is saying is simple...... we are true fans and none of us expect that but according to him we are fool enough to believe such.He always seems to talk to fans as if we are idiots.But hey thats just my opinion. ;)

Personally I think it's just the offseason and everybody is bored. John McClain, or his questionable writing skills, are no reason to get heated. Like I said, he was just looking for a piece to write during a stretch where there's not much Texans news going on. I doubt he really put that much thought into the article honestly.
headsplint
02-06-2008, 07:13 PM
Fine oh mighty wise one, how about explaining it rather than posting immature wise cracks. Try showing your intelligence rather your IQ, or lack there of by posting mentally challenged jokes.
So let me get this straight...
You and most are pissed because a local sports writer says that if Texans fans are going to dream the "improbable dream", not impossible but improbable, I bet you missed that, as McClain stated, than Texans fans need to look at what the Packers and Titans have done coming off of a 8-8 season rather than the Giants for the simple fact that the Giants were already a playoff team the year before they went 8-8 and not a bad team on the rise like the Packers and Titans and now the Texans are and then goes on to say that the Texans have a good chance of seeing the post season for the first time in 7 years?
This is what yall are bent about?
Still? Please man your gonna hurt yourself. I'll say it one more time and then I am moving on.
SIMPLE:
We are saying that it is silly of Mcain to say that we think the Texans are going to the Super Bowl. The majority of us do not think that. Mcain is telling us not to compare ourselves to the Giants, well we weren't. Geez someone help me out here because I don't know how to explain it any easier. I'm just saying the same thing so you probably still won't get it.
Um
The majority of Texans fans= Do not think we are the Giants. Do not think we are going to the Super Bowl. Irritated with Mcain for saying we think we are. We are not mad at him for saying we can't we are mad at him for Stereotyping all Texans fans as believeing we will go to the Super Bowl just because the Giants did.
Sorry for the jabs earlier man now I really think you just don't get it. But telling us that you were providing reading 101 when you have no idea what's going on , well that's just silly.
Once again you fail to read what he said. He said Texans fans CAN, I quote...
Texans fans can analyze the Giants and dream the improbable dream, too, but a better way to gauge next season can be found in how the other 8-8 teams in 2006 performed this season.
Nowhere did he say the Texans Fans ARE, which would be stereotyping the Texans fans, he said they CAN analyze the Giants and dream the improbable dream, not the impossible which means if you as a Texans fan are going to take what the Giants did after an 8-8 season and think the Texans can do the same, then step back and gage what the Packers and Titans did, being they are closer to the make-up of the Texans. That was all he said. He did not say that fans thought they were the Giants, nor did he say all Texans fan think they were going to the Super Bowl, he merely said that if you as a fan are going to take from what the Giants did and hope the Texans do the same, you are looking at the wrong team. Instead gage what the Packer and Titans did after an 8-8 season. That is it, that is all.
So basically you are pissed about nothing and are trying to justify hatred for a local sports writer over common sense? Ooooook....
How in the blue hell you took a simple article that actually complemented the Texans and made it into a Texans bashing, Texans are ignorant article is beyond me. Maybe it is because I actually read the article for what it was and didn't let my dislike for someone cloud my comprehension skills....Dang I put my McClain shades on and guess what..................
sorry dude nothing. :eek:
I feel dumber with each post.:(Wait are we suppose to be smart? If thats the case I'm up a **** creek witout a paddle. :eek:
Why? Can't think of anymore put downs? I understand fully what everyone on here is saying about the article. I fully understand that most of yall hate the guy first and foremost. Yall think he is lumping every single Texans fan in one bunch into thinking that just because the Giants went 8-8 and went to the Super Bowl, then we fans think the Texans can do the same. I get that, but the problem is that isn't what he was saying at all. Go back a re-read the article and you would understand where I am coming from instead of telling me to "grow a pair."
I fully understood what he was saying and I agree totally. I don't believe that just because the Giants were 8-8 and then one the SB, then the Texans can do it too, but I do believe that the pattern and the blueprint the Texans are following is that of the Packers and the Titans and next year is going to be an exciting year to be a Texans fan.Hey at least the post are getting shorter. ;)

Why, just because I explained to you that in the article, McClain wasn't bashing the Texans but merely saying that if some Texans fans want to analyze the season the Giants had after their 8-8 season that they should instead analyze what he Titans and Packers did after their 8-8 season therefore the circumference of the circle that is the Giants blueprint of success shouldn't be measured by Texans fans because they should instead gage what what Packers and the Titans did after their 8-8 season being that the Giants were already a playoff team and the square root of that molecular structure combined with fusion would suggest that the Texans fans should not gage what the Giants did after their 8-8 season rather gage what the Packers and the Titans did after their 8-8 season because the make-up of those teams are similar to that of the Texans. Not my fault you don't understand....

1. not that hard to make long post when you type 93 words per minute. 2nd, I guess you could say the same kind of loser who waits on said post just so he can respond with his juvenile, homosexual referenced gibberish because he thinks he actually has a decent thought running through his brain.
Like I said, I was watching a movie online, Rambo to be exact, and had another tab open with the Texans forum on it. I had the exact same stunt pulled on me on the ESPN board one time and thought i would try it out. Seemed to work just like it did on me. I ranted and raved at a guy for 45 minutes until I realized he was saying the same thing over and over just to get a rise out of me, pretty much like I got out of you and Neocon....
Let it go man, I know what really happened. :rolleyes:

McClain says:
The key to trying to predict which 8-8 has a prayer of duplicating what the Giants have accomplished is looking at what they did the season before they were .500.
In 2005, the Giants were 11-5 and NFC East champions before they dipped to 8-8 in 2006. The Eagles were 10-6 and NFC East champions in 2006 before they dipped to 8-8 this season.
In other words, if any 8-8 team has even a remote chance of winning it all next season, it would be Philadelphia based on what the Giants have done.
The key to why the Eagles went from 10-6(2006) to 8-8(2007) and the Giants 8-8(2006) to SB(2007) could be Steve Spagnuolo.
Gotta take issue with McClain's contention that the NFC East is the better than the AFC South just because it produced the Super Bowl champion.
This is the second time in three years a wild-card has taken the championship, can the Texans make the wild-card next year?
(btw..the three texanteers were in top form in this thread.)
