I can totally understand where you are coming from buddy. All I can say is you gotta be patient, I have been through that with my Giants these past few years, granted not quite at the same level so to speak. But, thats part of being a true fan imho; sticking with your team through it all. Its easy to be a fan when your team is winning, but true fans keep the faith....and man is it hard at times But really, just like you said with the Astros, they are the kings now Hang in there buddy, eventually you guys will turn a corner, just like the Lions finally have (I'm 99% sure anyway )As you're probably aware, my Houston Texans finished the season 3-13-1 and fired Lovie Smith. I was actually pretty excited for the Texans under the wing of Lovie Smith. We won every Preseason game (not that it matters). Then... the regular season happened. Loss after loss after loss, and the Texans became incredibly inept. Most of the Texans' undoing was a combination of the fallout involving DeShaun Watson and that miserable Playoffs beat down at Kansas City after leading the first quarter 21-0. Oh, and also that Bill O'Brien guy whom I'll never forgive.
Most people are incredibly unhappy with how the team has progressed between 2020 and now. People can complain at me all they want about this past weekend, but even if my Texans had to lose one last time just to lock up a first-overall draft pick, I am NOT cool with wanting my beloved team to lose even if the season is a lost cause. It is as if to say, "your team isn't going to the postseason, so why bother trying to win again this season?" The only time I'll be okay with losing is if my team makes the postseason and rests their starters to make their postseason run. The players still want to win even if management want to lock up a top draft pick. This is good for the players because they want to show they can win on any given weekend even in a disappointing season. But no- this is a team that is a combined 11-38-1 these past three seasons. For you baseball fans on GTPlanet, how do you think I felt when my Houston Astros had three-straight 100-loss seasons? NOW look at them- basically carrying Houston sports while the Texans and Rockets (and even the Dynamo) consistently fail.
It will not be an overnight fix for the Houston Texans to return to their winning form. It may not even be this offseason for which the Texans will turn things around and get back to being a decent, contending team. Many think the team should be sold or that upper management should be fired. We'll have our fourth straight season with a new head coach this upcoming 2023 season, and we've been through five coaches since 2020. The team needs to improve, and the coaching has to be more consistent and more stable. Otherwise, the Texans will continually be screwed until they finally get it right.
Extended rant over, but I'm hellishly upset at my Texans the past few years. Lots of things need to change for this team to ever be a contender again.
