When they won the SB, it was good but didn't really feel that good cause all I did was watch. Also, they did lose horribly to Seattle and we took some crap for that.<br /><br />I understand you are frustrated. But with that being said, there is very little a fan can do to influence the outcome of the game except maybe going to the game and shouting to increase the decibel level by .001. Not only that, but for a team to win, another team has to lose. When you feel good about winning, someone else is going to feel bad.<br /><br />As for the Jaguars Hail Mary play, well the WR stood in front of the DB batting the ball down so I wouldn't say it's pure luck he caught it. He was in a better position to catch that ball than most WR's.<br /><br />And I don't like getting into wars with opposing fans because just as quickly as your team wins, you can lose. There's so much trash talk going on that there will always be snarky fans ready to take advantage of any misfortunate. That's human nature it seems. I would just stay away--misery loves company.<br /><br />Anyway, don't be ashamed to be a Houston fan cause you're doing your part by supporting the team. I like to focus more on things I have control over anyway. Anyway, that's all I can think of for now.John B. Marinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414422109024974482noreply@blogger.com
