Are you saying you want Andy Reid as our coach?

Just fast forwarded to that last play on the DVR, no way in hell Schaub gets into the end zone. He was @ the 5, a DB was closing in @ the 3. Looks like he tried to put it into a tight window for JJ, but obviously that didn't work.....

Also looked like they flushed him left on a play that most of his options were right.

Sucks.

I might be alone in this but I like Andy Reid a lot.

I don't think he's a bad coach but he's kind of a rich man's kubiak. Good team builder. Good Monday through Saturday guy. Terrible gameday coach. Probably the worst clock management around. Lots of the same things that frustrate you about kubs.

So you're saying it would be a comfortable transition.

If you like Andy Reid you ought to like Kubiak.

Prior to this game the Raiders DL had been last in defense against the run.

I don't care if they were playing for their momma. We lost one we shoulda won! Schaub proved that you give him a little rush and he will give the ball up. JJ played the worst game of his career. I know he blows hot and cold sometimes, but he was iced today. Not worthy of being the #1 option while AJ is out. The TEs tried to carry the load, but only proved it takes a proven pro WR like AJ to get the defense out of their gameplan.

At the end with a chance to salt this one away, Schaub proved he gets rattled under pressure, and JJ on that last play was fronting the defender Michael Huff, but inexplicably at the last second chose to go behind the defender making it impossible for Schub to get it to him, making it easy for Huff to make the int and salt the win for 'ol "just win baby" Davis.

Both Kubiak and Wade Phillips were unable to adjust yet again to what the other team was doing all game long on defense. They also made journeyman QB Jason Camkpbell look like an all-pro.

Altogether a sucky effort by the Texans in their own playpen. Inexcusable!

Maybe with the owners meeting here in Houston this week, McNair will get some more compliments on how good his team looks when losing. That should fill him with enough confidence to think he has a top echelon team and coaching staff.

Sometimes I really wonder what game you are watching. There is plenty of blame to go around for our special teams and offense, but our defense played great yesterday. They gave up under 250 yards if you don't count the special teams fake punt. They bailed us out on both first half turnovers.

Campbell hardly looked like an all-pro. He didn't get his offense a first down until just before half time. He completed 15/35 passes. He had under 200 yards passing. And they shut down McFadden at the same time, holding the NFL's leading rusher to 51 yards.

And about not making adjustments, if you take out the fake punt, they allowed THREE YARDS on four 4th quarter Raiders possessions. How else do you think our sputtering offense and inept special teams had a chance to win in the end. the Raiders went backwards on their last two possessions, and the defense even saved us some time when the Raiders threw the ball deep for some reason on 2nd down. And the safety and CB blitzes were a great adjustment and helped get a 3rd down stop in the 4th quarter (the raiders were 3/15 on 3rd down for the day).

Great game defense, and sorry we wasted it.

After watching yesterday's game in which Kubisen called 51 passes in a game with no Andre Johnson, I would say it would be a seamless transition.

If we would end up with Andy Reid next year, I don't see how Texans' fans couldn't be excited about that change in head coachs ? How many times has he taken Philly to the playoffs, even the NFC championship game ? Took them to the SB once. How is that not a significant step-up from Kubiaks performance here in Houston ?

barrett 10-10-2011 01:15 PM

He has struggled to win without a June Johnson defense. And to compound that he hired his long time OFFENSIVE line coach as defensive coordinator this year. Juan castillo's DC credentials make frank bush look like Monte kiffin.
