Why Do Houston Football Teams Suck?

Why?  Why is it that we can't seem to get a decent football team in this city?  First the Oilers sucked, with a few fluke years when they accidentally didn't suck hard enough and made it to the playoffs.  And now the Texans who, eight years into the franchise, have never even gotten anywhere near a playoff game.

And to add insult to injury, the year after the Oilers left Houston for Tennessee, they go to the Superbowl.

Is there something in the water?  In the air?  In the food?

Watching the Texans play is like being stuck in Groundhog Day.  We keep watching the same mistakes being made over and over again.  We've got another grossly overpaid quarterback who hasn't lived up to his hype, another head coach who's too busy trying to be a nice guy to clean house and bring in the players that will truly make a difference (Mario Williams excepted), an offense that can't move the ball on the ground or in the air, or protect the quarterback, wide receivers who can't hang onto the ball, and a defense that can't seem to stop much of anything.

Watching today's game was just painful.  Why does every season have to feel exactly the same way?  Eight years in, you'd think that we would have something to be proud of or show for the time in the league.

I'm just glad I don't own the season tickets I considered a few years ago.  People who keep shelling out money to see the Texans get their ass handed to them year in and year out have a real problem.

Sheesh.  I don't want to have to have to become a Cowboys fan.  Please, Texans, don't make me do it!
