Texan Fans showed some class

[BobinLaConner]

I have to say the Texans fans showed some class. Welcomed me on their boards and even gave Bennett a standing O in the game as a show of respect. When they showed Bennett's dad in the stands yelling to hear how his son was doing, one of the Texan fans yelled at the camera to leave him alone (and other Texan fans were putting their hands on his shoulder showing support).
Some other fan bases could learn a thing or two from them

Hell of a game Houston, you have a damn good team (and fans)

 

[Blitzfan]

Seconded. Very classy and a very moving display.

 

[Lithium]

agreed

 

[Throwdown]

Much respect to Texans fans, hopefully its them we see if we make it to the Super Bowl.

 

[Seeker]

Yeah even the players seemed cool. I saw plenty of scenes of hawks and texans players patting each other on the back after tough, physical plays.

 

[AROS]

Much respect.

I noticed the Texans fan screaming at the camera man. It wasn't cool for the camera crew to focus on a father in distress and that Texans fan knew it (who was likely a father himself, given his instinct to react).

 

[The Radish]

Texas fans made a bit of noise too.

Yep. Great fans. I feel for them because Hawks fans have been on the opposite side of this kind of game before. This game was pretty epic.

Agreed, I hate when the media uses someone else's misfortune (at the time) to get some rating up or whatever. But thankfully he returned back to the stadium and will be flying with the team on wards

Kudos to the fans, really classy, asked me if I went to the locker room and give a pep talk at the half and finally they told me Seahawks are unbeatable. They are really friendly, great hospitality from the time I landed in the city and really class. My hats off and with respect I wanna say, Thank you! You guys are just awesome.

Glad you could come enjoy our weather! 95 degrees and humid...

 

[Smelly McUgly]

Texans fans are pretty great. Battle Red Blog has always been one of my favorites, and those fans giving Bennett applause was awesome. I like these guys. If we don't make the SB, I hope they do. Their fans deserve one after the Oilers debacle.

I noticed that as well .

Very Classy

 

[SmokinHawk]

Everything about that team and fanbase was classy today. Texans are like that, though. Very hospitable, friendly people. This was one of the most brutally physical games I've seen in recent memory (at least in the sense that it went both ways, between both teams), but there was very little trash talk and pushing/shoving going on after plays.

And man... That JJ Watt is everything he is advertised to be. We broke dude's nose and he was still relentless in his pursuit. That said, the guy seems to be a bit of a liability against the run, which we exploited a bit today.

Concur.

Typical actually. It's seldom that you see opposing fans, outside of Eugene, enjoy the injury of a player. I'd been to many Oiler games back in the day and as I reported here earlier in the week, they are very good fans down there in Houston. You pointing that out is thoughtful as well.

 

[Hawkstorian]

J.J. Watt is an absolutely monster.

 

[Shaz]

I have nothing but the utmost respect for Houston and their fans

Very classy bunch
