Houston Texans: Three plausible theories behind the team’s ’17 injury bug
Theory #3 – Super Bowl So Close, Yet So Far.
This is perhaps the one theory that seems to be talked about in close counters. Will the Houston Texans ever win a Super Bowl?
Conspiracy theorists or people who believe in curses will tell you we can’t win because we’re cursed. The Oilers were snakebit. You couldn’t beat the Steelers. We choked against the Bills and Chiefs in 92 and 93. Even with the Texans, it’s the same thing.
Was it not too long ago when we as Houstonians thought we would never win another championship after 1995? Didn’t we end that theory a few weeks ago by winning a championship? I mean, we’re complaining about something happening to the Texans and yet, we should be excited over the Astros. We should be excited over the Rockets and Dynamo.
Life in Houston is good now even with Harvey recovery still ongoing. Our sports are getting good again. How many times did we have a moment where all teams were legitimate contenders? But yet, people think the Texans are not going to win ever.
You’re starting to sound like a Cubs fan from 1908-2016. We’re acting like Red Sox fans from 1918-2004. The Saints can attest to their misfortunes before 2009. Detroit Lions fans? Cleveland Browns? Philadelphia Eagles? Buffalo Bills? Minnesota Vikings? They all know more suffering than we do.
Can a Super Bowl Win Really Triumph the Rockets, Dynamo and Astros?
With three teams winning championships in Houston, people want to see the Texans win a Super Bowl. Something that John McClain said struck me when he admitted that in spite the Astros championship making him cry, it would be more successful if the Texans won the Super Bowl.
Is he right? Yes and no!
Yes, because Houston is a part of Texas, which is a football king. For the Texans to win the Super

Bowl, it would show everyone that Texas is the home of two Super Bowl championship teams. Even if the Dallas Cowboys are still the alpha male in Texas, the Texans can at least gain respect from everyone that didn’t think they could do it.
No, because a championship in Houston is big no matter what sport. For the longest time, Houston had failed to win a professional championship. There was a point when Houston was thought of as a city that could never win. Then come the Rockets and that was a championship celebration. Add the Comets, Dynamo, and now Astros, and we got championships to our city.
When the Texans do win a Super Bowl, it’ll just be like championships with the other teams. It’ll also show everyone that Houston is a championship city. It’s going to take time. Look at Cleveland from 1964-2016. They had to wait for that long before they won a championship. Cities will get a championship in a period of cycles. There’s going to be a point when Houston gets a Super Bowl. It’s going to be awhile and we’re going to have to suffer while being patient.

Conclusion
This season is a tough one to take. But don’t believe anything you read that’s negative. The team is going to struggle and they will be in a tough spot for a while. But when Watson and Watt return, the Texans will be a force.
Just be patient and don’t be a radical conspiracy theorist. Be a conspiracy theorist that’s also an optimist knowing that good times are ahead for the Texans.
