WHO ARE THE TEXANS?

    Hey guys and gals. When the idea was put forth, that one of us should take one of the OTHER 31 teams in competition with us, I thought that there was no way that I would have time for this.  And then I thought about "the guy," that I have been MISSING for the last four years.

    Gary, where R U?

    I remember Mr. Kubiac, on the sidelines,  (he was almost always there) and he was always warring a clipboard!

    I also remember the few times that he came in as relief for BIG JOHN, and I do NOT know of a time where he was anything but STELLAR, in his performance!  That being said, I had the notion that, after spending that many years on the sidelines, standing next to (no argument) the best offensive mind of the time, (hi Mike, how's the vacation going? I wish I could retire on your salary!) and watching the greatest comeback specialist of all time work his magic, well, what indeed, could Gary Kubiac have learned through all of that?

    His mind, body and family, were stolen from us, by the Houston Texans, a team who had only been in the league for four years! GO FIGGUR!

    HERE'S THE LOW DOWN.

    Just look  at  the facts.  (This is from the "Home Page" at NFL.com) I might mention here, that the "home page" for the Texans, leaves a lot to be desired. In other words, it is slow on its negotiations.  Perhaps they need someone like "the Guru", to get it all together for them, anyway, here we go...

    Sept. 6, 2000: The NFL's 32nd franchise is officially christened the Houston Texans before thousands at a downtown rally on Texas Avenue. NFL Commissioner Tagliabue introduces McNair, who then unveils his team's name, colors and logo to the crowd. The ceremony, televised live on ESPN2, includes simultaneous unveilings in Austin and San Antonio.

    Jan. 21, 2001: The Texans introduce Dom Capers as the club's first head coach. Capers comes to Houston from Jacksonville, where he served the previous two seasons as the Jaguars' defensive coordinator. From 1995-98, Capers was the head coach of the expansion Carolina Panthers, leading the team to the NFC West title and a berth in the NFC Championship Game in 1996.

    You would think that, with those credentials, this guy would "bring it all together for this franchise, but, here is what happened.  2002 - 4 wins.  2003 - 5,  04 - 7 wins,  2005 - TWO WINS?  OOOPPS! Your FIRED!!!  That is when they "ripped us off," for our Offensive Coordinator!  Mr. Kubiac sure could call the plays!

Patrick Dennis Bowlen (born February 18, 1944 (1944-02-18) (age 65)) in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin) is the Owner, President, and Chief Executive Officer of the Denver Broncos. He purchased the team from Edgar Kaiser in 1984 and saved the team from possible bankruptcy.

Pat's father, Paul D. Bowlen, became a millionaire in the Canadian oil business, founding Regent Oil as a wildcatter. Bowlen attended the University of Oklahoma and earned degrees in business (1965) and law (1968). The younger Bowlen became wealthy in his own right by becoming a successful lawyer in Edmonton, Alberta. He also worked as an executive for his father's company and as a real estate developer.

Bowlen is an initiated member of the Pi Kappa Alpha International Fraternity. He was initiated by the University of Oklahoma, Beta Omicron chapter in 1963. He is a member of the bar association and law society of Alberta, Canada. Bowlen is also one of the largest donors to the University of Denver.

Now, think about this: "Who is at the helm?"  I don't think that Pat, is "out of control". do you?

Josh Mc Daniels,  (born April 22, 1976 in Barberton, Ohio) is the American football head coach of the Denver Broncos of the National Football League. He previously served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the New England Patriots. At the time of his hiring, McDaniels was the youngest head coach in any of the four major North American professional sports and the fifth-youngest NFL head coach ever, although less than a week later the Tampa Bay Buccaneers named the even-younger Raheem Morris as their head coach.[1]

McDaniels is the son of Thom McDaniels (often described as a "legend" of Ohio high school football).[2] Attending his father's practices during his youth has been credited with inspiring McDaniels to enter coaching.

McDaniels began his coaching career as a senior graduate assistant at Michigan State University from 1999 to 2000 under Nick Saban.  Who is ready to just blow this guy off?

In the 2008 NFL season, McDaniels led the offense to an 11-5 record with quarterback Matt Cassel, the only known NFL quarterback ever to start an NFL game without ever starting at quarterback in college. McDaniels' role in developing Cassel has been cited as one of his qualifications for head coaching jobs.

Denver Broncos President Pat Bowlen on Thursday announced the appointment of Brian Xanders as General Manager for the National Football League team, effective immediately.

Bowlen said, "In evaluating the work of our football operations department over the past several weeks, it has become clear to me that Brian Xanders is the right person to step into our general manager's job. I am confident he will work in tandem with Head Coach Josh McDaniels to re-establish our football team at the level we desire."

Well, enough said!  It is time that we as fans sit back and enjoy what is to come because as one fan says, and that fan is ME, You go Pat!  You go Josh, and you better work hard Brian, cause you all got the flesh eating fish at your door.  It is either time to feed the fish, or it is time to kill it and feed the carcass to the rest of the feeding fish!!

Yours truely,  the metalman.

I have been wondering about this all season, no actually, even before the season started.

Stat: 60% of the time, When our beloved Broncos win, 80% of the comments, following the game are possitive, 30% of the time!  Now, that may not make a lot of sense until you realize this...

Stat: 60% of the time, When our beloved Broncos loose, 80% of the comments, following the game are negative, 30% of the time!  Now, does that make more sense based upon the previous statement?  Probubly not!

Let me try to explain.

I have been a Member of MHR for the past year and whatever, but much to my liking is the fact that there is soooo muuch possitive input!  It does not matter, win or loose, We As A Group, must be recommended, as the greatest fan support group in the NFL, HANDS DOWN!

So, let me explain the 60 -80- 30 formula.

The 30%, is always the "controling factor."  Wheather we win or loose, wheather we are on a High or Low, the 30% is the Stablizing factor that keeps us all focused on the goal, and that is to win the next game!

WHEN WE WIN:  I personnally am very HIGH at this point! I actually NEED someone to bring me back to some semblance of reality to make me "get back to thinking about," next weeks game.  That is where you all come in and begin to explain that it isn't just about this game, but that there are still games to be played. It is then that I am thankful for the 30%

WHEN WE LOOSE: Ditto the above,except for one thing. Here, is where I need all of you to pull me up from the abyss, save me from the drug induced suicide measures, keep me from loosing the faith!

Just kidding. I have heard the possitives and the negatives throughout the season, and although there have been many, on both sides, I am happy to be able to show you the MID year stats.  POSSITVE STATS, 80% NEGATIVE STATS 20% - 30%

NOW YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THE PERSENTAGES WORK, HERE AT MHR! 

Do you agree, or dissagree?
