The Texans defense definately helped us out this year. I think if Richard Smith was still here we would be looking at a new coaching staff next year. Bush has pretty much saved Kubiak's job this year. Kubiak is still making the same mistakes he always does. No halftime adjustments, consistantly gets out coached, doesn't always put the best talent on the field, makes questionable calls at the most crucial times, can't ever seem to have his team prepared from one week to the next or one half to the next. He had 2 weeks to prepare for the Titans and we got totally embarrassed on national tv.

I just don't see how you can look at his past 4 years and be excited about next season. The only hope for this team that I can see is if Frank Bush can put together a defense so dominating that it makes up for Kubiaks head coaching ineptness.

What team are you watching? The Texans enter the final week ranked 4th in the AFC in points scored but 9th in the AFC in points allowed. Schaub is now the league's top QB in terms of passing yards. The offense has lost their second and third best offensive weapons and two starting guards but are still humming.

The defense is improved over last season but they still need a lot of improvement. The defense needs more help than the offense does.

Oh, and how does a three-point loss to a 4-6 team qualify as "totally embarassed"?

The Texans are a frustrating team to watch, no doubt, but they are far more productive than the fans on the couch seems to think. And as for "never makes adjustments", that myth has already been debunked. Try finding some more valid reasons for hating on the head coach.

Bob,

I agree the offense seems to be doing really well. However, stats don't always tell the entire story. SD is one spot above us in scoring allowed and they are doing fantastic and we are fighting for our playoff lives. We are also at that same 9 spot in 3rd down conversions.

My argument is not about statistics. It is more about game time decision making. I hope in all honesty that we go out there tomorrow and wipe the floor NE. However, I think that we are gonna have to step up our game. As I look back over our wins, the only one I can really point to of much significance is the Cincy game.

Do I think we can do it? Definitely. But Kubiak (Kyle whomever) needs to step it up. I think the players are busting their asses and doing what they are asked to do. Its time to Kubiak to prove he is worth keeping around.

If you are counting Slaton in there I don't think it was too much of a loss this year because he never was productive.

That is all stats and they are great but I want wins. The Texans keep losing because of not playing a full 60 minute game and making dumb mistakes at crucial times. Kubiak keeps putting Chris Brown in when we can all see he doesn't give us our best chance to win and he keeps fumbling.

Some of the calls like the Indy game with about 8 seconds left they throw over the middle with no time outs. Dumb but Kubiak defends it.

How about letting the clock run down to 2 minutes just before half and allowing our opposition to review a fumble.

How about the half back pass that goes for an interception.

How about going for the endzone at midfield on 3rd and 1.

How about not having your team prepared after 2 weeks for what was then the biggest game in franchise history.

How about getting blown out by a rookie head coach and rookie qb on opening day in our house.

How about not playing 2 halves of football almost every game. Alot of that is not making adjustments. We damn near lost to Miami after being up 27-0. Same thing with the 49ers. We also played it way too close with the Rams

How about being outcoached every year by your own division rivals. Kubiak loses to those that know him best. His record against the AFC south is 3-3, 1-5, 2-4 and now 1-5 again.

This year we beat the Titans, Raiders, Bengals, 49ers, Bills, Seahawks, Rams and Dolphins. It doesn't look like too tough of a group of teams to me. This was a cake schedule this year and we might still go 8-8 or naybe 9-7 if the Patriots rest their starters. I'd like to know what about that impresses you.



Last I checked we didn't have a running game. And that was with Slaton. Yeah the defense could use a free safety to go with Pollard and a pass rush but Bush has them playing pretty well. If we had a decent pass rush it would help our corners out.

Maybe because they had 2 weeks to prepare and the Titans started out 0-6. I believe Kubiak unveiled his secret weapon that game after thinking about it for 2weeks. Chris Brown. The game was on national tv and that was supposed to be where the Texans finally turn the corner and begin a run at the playoffs. Not to mention we could finally have shut up the VY fans for a while. Well that was the 2nd of 4 division losses in a row.


I never said they weren't productive. And maybe not making adjustments is a myth to you but it is fact to me.

I like Kubiak. Great guy but I think he has done all he can with this team as far as moving forward imho. Maybe we make the playoffs this year but it won't be because we did anything different this year. The Texans are right where they always are hovering around .500 with a horrible division record. If we go 9-7 because the Patriots rest their starters will you really credit Kubiak for the improvement in record? Now if they beat the Patriots starters I will definately be giving Kubiak some credit for that. I just don't see it.

This team has the talent to beat any team in the NFL. But they don't half the time. You can blame injuries or the players or whatever but I think Kubiak has a 4 year body of work here that you can look at and it = MEDIOCRITY

I care about this team and want them to win. If it looks like the head coach is the problem then I will naturally state that opinion and hope that it happens.
